SAYS PROSPERITY is NEAR
Dean Johnson Tells Students of
Business Phenomena.

Dean Joseph French Johnson of the New
York University School of Commerce, Ac-
counts and Finance spoke last night at the
opening exercises of the school on present.
day business conditions and problems He
said:
It will do no good TO advise young men 10
go back to the farm in order that bread
may be cheaper They will go back fast
enough as soon as the prices of farm prod
ucts have risen to height which will make
life in the field more attractive to them
than the routine of the office or factory.
The business situation during recent
months has been causing business men
some anxiety. The great activity and pros
perity Of 1909 were followed in 1910 by a
tremendous decline in the stock markets.
by dulness in general business and by a
curious shifting Of our international bal
ance of trade. Our imports of merchandise
larger than our exports.
Let me warn you against accepting blind
terpretatlons of these phenomena Some
people blame Mr. Roosevelt and declare
that he is ready 10 bankrupt both his party
and his country If he can only get d third
term. whereas 1t is quite possible that he
is both a good citizen and a loyal friend
of President Taft, ger to be the leader Of
the insurgent wing OF his party In order
that he may again be in a position 10 nomi-
nate Mr.. Taft
Others attribute the dulness OF business
TO the activity of the Department of Jus
tice in it's pursuit OF corporations suspect
ed of ha wing violated the antitrust act of
1890 and others to the interference OF the
federal government with the rate-maktng
privileges of the railroads l believe that
a careful and thorough investigation would
uncover the fact that all these political con-
siderations have very little connection with
the present business situation. Business
men care very little about legislation or
the threats Of demagOgueS.
During the last six months business has
suffered a reaction merely because the eX-
traordinary activities of 1909 called for more
new CAPITAL than had been accumulated
since the panic OF 1907. The wealth Of the
country however. is increasing every day
and a great store of money and credit is
accommodating in the banks of the world 8
financial centres, that the time cannot
be far distant when all forms of industry
and business will again be most active and
DrofIta BILE These periods of dulnesS are
not the dangerous ones. They are tnvarla-
NV followed by periods of speculation, r1s-
ing prices and high rates of interest. That
IS the time when the prudent business man
should look most searchingly into the
future
DR.. John Henry MacCracken, acting
Of the university, also spoke. He
reviewed the growth of the school and set
forth his ideas on the demand for special
ISIS in business The school will open on
Monday with the largest freshman class In
+ba history of the institution.

laid on the Importance Of observing the
Eighth and Eleventh commandments. Mr.
Dinter's smuggiers operate in a little Al
satan village near the French border. in
which after the German annexation SNUG
Cling from France was looked upon al
most as a form of patriotism The comedy

those Of Hauptmann's delightful comedy

the Prussfan bureaucrats is also ridiculed

SEES DlSEASELESS FUTURE
Speaker Cites Conquest of Vel
low Fever as Example.

The three hundred so future medicos
and their professors who attended the
opening exercises of the College Of Physi-
clans and Surgeons yesterday afternoon
heard Dr. William G. MacCallum. profess
sor of pathology. prophesy that the physi-
clan of the future would be employed TO
prevent diseases and not to cure them.
Professor MacCaIlum caused a little furry
OF excitement when he proposed that the
marriage of deaf mutes lmbecies, idiots,
epiIeptics. degenerates and the weak
minded generally should be prohibited by
statute. His subject was The Future of
Medicine" and he painted a diseaseless
future where all diseases except those due
to accidental causes, such as burns, pois-
onings, cuts and so forth, would be en-
tirely eliminated
Professor MacCallum said that little
progress had been made in the cure of
diseases. with a few brilliant exceptions.
ne said yellow fever was one OF those
brilliant exceptions and he declared that
only bv some such method ended vel
low feser's ravages would the other dis
eases be wiped out.
Certain diseases. he said would always
remain such as those resulting from in
tenDerance and other imprudences, which
wear away the vital organs piecemeaL
