ing at Her Top Speed.

Quincy, Mass Nov 12.-Official figures
made public today indicate that the new
battleship North Dakota, in addition to
being one of the three largest fighting
ships afloat an honor which she shares
with her sister ship, the Delaware, and
the British ship Neptune, is in a class
by her self so far as Steaming radius
is concerned. The figures compiled on
her official endurance trials off the New
England coast show that the North Da-
kota, sailing at an average speed of j.
nautical miles an hour, has a steaming
radius of 5000 knots without re-coaling
At Il 19-knot speed the big ship will be
able to steam 1000 knots without replcn-
ishing the bunkers, while she will also be
able to cover 5000 knots without re
coaling when steaming at her maximum
speed of II l. knots an hour.
This great steaming radius is made
possible by the low coal consumption,
the tests having demonstrated that the
American built turbine engines with
which the North Dakota is equipped re
quire less fuel than do the reciprocating
type.
The official figures for the three hours
of the full power trial, the 24 hours at
10 knots and the same period at II knots
show a material saving of water used, in
the form of steam.

TRADE REVIEW,

Price Of Money Reaches

Readjustment Of Trade Markets
Steadily Being Made.
Cotton Manufacturers Are More

New York, Nov. 12.-R. G. Dun & Cos
Weekly Review of Trade tomorrow viii!
say: Further progress is made in the
REIMBURSEMENT of the markets to the high
Ell prices which are inevitable in a period
of big gold production, reviving indus

of money seems to have reached the
prosperity level, and the week passed
without further advances in the official
rates in London and Berlin while the
l;ank of England made a strong return
Thursday.
The break and subsequent recovery in
the cotton markets served to make buyer
more cautious, but at the same time led
manufacturers of cotton goods to be
more free in discussing terms of new
contracts. Prices are being adjusted
steadily to the higher costs of produc-
ton. Restoration of wages in the steel
districts We're regarded by dry goods
merchants as one of the good signs of
the future in their trade. the sharp rise

than last years. While it may give
pride for the moment, it seriously in
creases the burden of college admins
tration and brings about the necessity
of a search for money to meet the add
ed expense.
TT has fallen to me at times to have
a share in selecting a college president,
and there has always been at such
times the suggestion that what we
needed was business man, a man
who knew the value of dollar and
could get tia man who would put
the institution on a business basis.
81 am glad to say that l always dis
scented from such an idea. 1 am not
attacking business men, but [ believe
that such men have their limitations
and that these limitations are such
as to exclude them as college presi-
dents. The college president first of all
is a teacher That is his profession
and the university is a teaching insti-
tuition. If he is to do his duty by the
Institution he must understand how
teaching should be done. He must be
nedagogue.
':I'ha college president must be man
of executive ability. He must have the
power of selecting men for the work
they are to do. And | submit that I'M
less he is teacher and understands
all the teaching that is to be done. he
is not fit to make selections or to build
up q faculty to do the teaching.

ing chosen as president a man who in
