Attended Business
COLLEGES Than University
During the Past Year

President F. Leland Watkins of
Fargo made a startling statement to-
day during the course of the annual
address to the members of the
Northwestern Commercial Schools as
ISOLATION which is holding its annual
meeting here. when he stated:
"There are more pupils enrolled
in the business colleges of the coun-
try at the present time than i'm all of
the higher educational institutions.
There were 100000 enrolled last year
in the commercial schools and a
study of the enrolment figures of the
colleges OF the country will show
that the statement is authorative."
In speaking farther on this sub
.iect President Watkins stated that
he had found that in North Dakota
the number attending the business
colleges was greater than the num-
Der attending the university. agricul-
tural college. Wesley college. Fargo
college. Jamestown college and the
normal schools.
Have Good Representation.
Fifteen commercial colleges are
represented at the meetin". includ-
ing delegates from Fargo. Grand
Forks. Thief River Falls. Crookston.
Little Falls, Wadena. Detroit. Fergus
Falls, Bismarck and Minot. 1t is the
plan of the association to increase the

Under a mild May sky. fully 1900
students OF North Dakota high schools
the state university and friends of
inc various teams represented frolick-
celebration of the tenth annual inter-
scholastic field and track meet con-
Quoted under the auspices of the Uni
Hersity of North Dakota.
This outdoor lark which belongs to
the high schools of the state lured out
a gay lot Of people that crowded the
stands and created a merry demon
stration throughout the meet.
The stands were a. riot of color.
Flags, remnants and strcamers of a
score of high schools f1oated i'm the
cool northwest wind that forced the
athletes to hurry into their blankets
at the completion of each test of skill.
The university hand was much i'm
evidence. The delegations from the
various schools joined in the choruses
Of the popular airs and made the field
ring with merriment.
Hundreds of persons came to the
games in automobiles. There was a
regular motor car show in one section
OF The field n the horns of the ma
chimes were used early in the program
and often as the athletes broke rec
ords and attempted to lower marks
made in previous years.
Early in the meet the fun was
married by an accident to Herbert

jured his NEE to such an extent that
he was forced out of the competitions.

several days they enjoyed q. splendid
outing, canoeing being the principal
feature of entertainment during their
stay in camp.
That they we're on the rivers a good

1t was while enjoying an unusually
fine paddle that the Baptists rammed

PREJUDICE IS NOT
AGAINST THE
PLAN
Aldrich is the Real OPPOSE
ton to the Reform in
Currency.

President F. l.. McNey spoke to the
law school students yesterday morn
ing on THE Adaptation of Our Money
and Banking System to Present Day
Needs" The speaker took up the So
called Aldrich plan Of monetary re-
form and the effect its adoption would
have on financial conditions of the
country. This system. he declared.
has not received the consideration to
which il is entitled because of the
prejudice against its sponsor.
The great trouble with the An1eri-
can banking system. the speaker said.
was that it did not permit the utiliza-
ton to the full of the assets IF tho
anks. During the panic of 1907 this
country had far more gold than Eng
land. Vet on ccoun of the ina bility
to reach this gold. England was called
upon to furnish ready funds.
Condemns Reserve System Today.
The reserve system of the present
system was severely condemned. BY
the concentration of the reserves Of
the smaller banks in the banks of the
larger cities and ultimately in New
York, the opportunity is opened for
the use of these funds to promote
speculation. The money is loaned on
stock collateral and when there is a
demand for cash in any part of the
country. a call must be made on the
holders of these stocks. If they are
unable to realize upon them, q money
s~tringency results.
President McNey traced briefly the
history of the banking systems of the
country and showed that the prese mt
system of national banks was adopted
not as a banking system but as a
financial scheme to secure funds for
the government by creating an arti-
fetal market for United States bonds.
Cooperation Essential.
The speaker contrasted the central
lied systems of Europe with the sys-
tenn of individual banks in this coun-
try. each standing alone and unsup.
ported.
Cooperation among the banks.
greater elasticity of currency and the
creation of a market for commercial
paper were described as the great es-
sentials to. be sought in a new system.
The speaker then took up the AL
drich scheme. discussing the plan Of
organization n the methods Of op-
Grafton. BY permitting the various
banks comprising the Central Reserve
association to r%ediscount commercial
paper at the district associations, an
OF credit to meet the de.
OF business would be secured.
The method of note issue would
also permit of elasticity of currency.
Instead of the note issue being based
on bonds. it would be based on the
general assets of the association. The
amount would not be rightly limited
n could be increased in time of
need. At the same time. over ex-
pansion would be prevented by IL
graduated tax on issues over a certain
amount.
The speaker heartily commended
the plan and declared that its adop-
ton would practically do away with
industrial panics in this country.
