WASTE TIME IN COLLEGE.

New Haven, Conn, Dec, 12.-"WhetheI
a man has a college education or not
matters very little" says Speaker ChamI
Clark, in the Yale News to-day. ''Infor-
nation is the most important and most
essential thing. He may acquire at col

professors are good instructors, college
life ought to shorten the process Of ac-

Some of my college teachers were excel

were misfits. One of the best and most

There is a great deal of time wasted
at college by studying things which can
be OF little service to the average citizen.
The average college curriculum in the
United States needs o"erhauling. The
college professor who does not arouse in
his pupil u love of learning is not worth

By THOMAS c. sHoTwELL.

New York, Dec. 12-Absence of any
news affecting stocks to-day checked
the advance and reduced the volume Of
trading. Some fractional improvement
was seen here and there, but few stocks
got above the high prices recorded i'm
mediately after the food of good news
came on Monday. The market was
strong nevertheless.
Specialties were prominent. Sharp ad-
vances were recorded in National Bis
cult, New York Air Brake, General Elec-
trio, and Western Union. Pacific Tele-
phone, American Woolen preferred, and
American Locomotive were other spe-
cialties to advance. United States Rub
ber was more active than usual, and
touched its previous high point.
Canadian Pacific opened with a sharp
advance, but sold of easily on liquida-
tion from Canada.
Money continued easier.
One of the independent steel companies
that was prominent in price cutting early
in the summer has taken a greater vol
une of orders thus far in December
than ever before since its organization
for the same period. This rush Of orders
began when the trade learned definitely
that prices were to be advanced. The

was awarded the contract for the erec-

Franklin Park. for which Congress ap-

commission, which originally accepted a
design by Andrew O'COnnor. of Paris, in
1909
About a year later this design was
rejected, and Mr.. Boyle asked to submit
a design. which was finally accepted,
with a few changes. The statue will
be erected on a knoll on the Fourteenth

C., yesterday declared a semi-annual dlvi-
oend OF per cent. payable January 5,
1872, which puts the Commercial on a u
per cent per annum dividend basis. This
increase in the dividend rate was justified
by the increased earnings of the COM
pany, which are now at the rate of %
per cent per annum on the companys
capital.
The premium income OF the CONNER
cial has been increased more than 400
per cent over the best previous year in
the company's history, and. during Jam
uary the company plans to enter eleven
more States and to largely increase its
business during the year 1912.
