Until the fifteenth century. England,

The English flag consisted of the Red

that of Ireland tho red diagonal cross of

De Wet Has No Strong Fol-
Notwithstanding Cues
ton Now Is What
Will Hertzog Do?

London, November 1.-(Correspond-
ence OF the Associated Press. Vet
eran Africanders in London are seek
ing to reassure the public that the
seriousness of the rehellions In South
Africa. which are the sources of gem
uine concern, may be easily exagger-
ated.
General de. Wet, they say, always
has been greater figure outside of
South Africa than in the union itself.
He leads no political party and it is
said his personal animus against Pre-
mier Botha undoubtedly has influenced
him largely in taking up arms against
the government.
General Beyers Is rated as quite a
different character. A Boer athlete and
man of many attainments. he has
been unable to put aside his anti Eng
fish feelings. His recent visits to Eu-
rope have shown him to be more at
homo on the continent than in London
and he was greatly pleased by the re-
ception by the Kaiser in Berlin and
at the Swiss maneuvers. Emperor Will
liam paid him marked attentions As
speaker of the Transvaal Parliament
he was a popular figure. and he made
strong friends on both sides of the
house.
But the crux of the situation. IT is
felt here, probably will not be depend
ent upon the action of either ofsthese
two men. The absorbing question,
from the South African viewpoint, is
what General Hertzog will do. Hert-

are no indications that he will throw

1.-THE Place and Function of a De-
partment, College, or School of Com
merce in the University System"
have been able to find no better
definition of the function of school
of commerce in the university system
than is found in the language of the
Harvard catalogue: "The aim of the
graduate school of business admins
tration Is to give thorough and scien-
tific instruction in the fundamental
principles of business organization and
administration and to present such a
range of elective courses that each
student may receive the special prep
aration which is suitable to the re-
quirements of the business career he
purposes to enter. A broad foundation
may thus be laid for intelligently d.
rected activity in commerce or manu-
featuring or in those specialized
branches of modern business which
now particularly call for professional
training, such as accounting and aud
iting. railroading. banking and insur-
ance."
assume, however. that the thesis
assigned to me is designed to intro
duce the whole great problem of high
err commercial training and the rela-
ton of the university or college to
such training rather than to restrict
the discussion to a mere definition of
function which, in the last analysis,
will be necessaril> determined by the
nature of the relationship to which
have just referred. My study of this
subject began 10 years ago. My first
task as college president was to raise
an endowment which was used to es-
ia b1tsh a eChon1 cnmmarCe. Tlrec
years ago when I accepted the presi-
dency of state university inaugur-
ated movement which Is intended to
accomplish the same end. For num-
Der of years I have been convinced
that business men deserve as good an
opportunity for training as is given to
those who enter the so-caIled ''profes-
sions." l can see no reason why a CIV
i1ized nation should provide elabor-
ate facilities for the training of sol
diers and engineers and lawyers and
farmers, and at the same time neglect
the training of the business man who
SO largely determines its commercial
and industrial destiny
Lack of Careful Training
Tt is little short of astonishing &c
note the lack of provision for serious
effort in the field OF systematic busi-
ness training that has characterized
the university programme in this coun-
try Equally astonishing Is the fac
that in spite of the lack of such train
ing there has been such remarkable
commercial prosperity. Surely, such {
situation would seem to justify the
somewhat common view that business
has attracted to its standards the abb
lest men of the nation We have
provided for the training of specialists
in practically every other avenue Of
human endeavor. Many of our schools
of technology now take rank with
those of Europe, If indeed they do mo-

substantial agreement with reference
to the essential points. 1t is already
agreed, for instance, that, viewed from
the standpoint of university training.
a knowledge of the principles of book
keeping and accounting does not mean
that young men are to learn every de-
tail of the art of bookkeeping and ac-
counting regarded simply as an art:
that young men must become so ia
miliar with the details of bookkeeping
as to be able instantly to take a trial
balance. That Is the training of the
man who is planning to be book
keeper or an accountant and nothing
more. The business man Is concerned
not so much in the technique of book
keeping as in acquiring such scien-
tifio knowledge of accounts and the
principles of accounting as Will en-
able him to develop the best methods
