Sixty prominent Boston clubwomen
have conceived the idea of influencing
the people of their city for good by
means of advertisements. Curing
Boston by suggestion one paper has
it. The plan is TO placard the city
with posters bearing such sentiments
as 'The greatest possession is self
possession. I'VE gain the strength OF
the temptation we resist" and others
designed TO give the people who see
them an inspiration toward a higher

Banker Henry Clews, in letter to
the Yale News. says that while he for
merly deprecated a college education
as a requisite for success in business
life, especially in Wall street, and still
thinks a bright high-school graduate
may be placed upon par with the
average college youth, he believes that
a higher education gives its possessor
greater advantages in after life. He
advocates a financial course in every
college, taught by man who has had
actual experience in business.
