Americas Schools Reputed to Turn Out

So great Is the prestige of the American
accountant that students not only come
from all parts of the United States, but
from every part OF Inc globe, says
Moody's Magazine. Last years New York
University class included students from
Austria, Germany. Russia, Syria, Greece,
Sweden. Poland, China, Japan, Costa Rica
aud Brazil. The Chinese student Is a
wealthy native who is learning to handle
his estate I'm accordance with American
business methods. There are over a score
of Japanese In the school, who will
carry back the latest American knowledge
TO help In the business reorganization that
is progressing so rapidly in the Mikado's
realm.
The school has also recently been no
titled BY the city of Osaka, Japan, that
one of the professors In the Higher Com
mercial school of the town is coming In
the autumn TO take the complete course,
with the Idea OF teaching American bust
ness economies and methods In Japan.
rhe rewards of the professions are large
ones, AS much as $4,000 has been received
by 1 certified public accountant as a
single fee. and fees of from S25, 200 to 500,
900 arc not rare. For ordinary work a

is obvious. therefore. that the remunera.
