LIFE INSURANCE
COURSES IN HIGHER
SCHOOLS Is URGED
u. of P. Expert Tells Ma
tional Underwriters Asso-
citation of Need for Sys-
tematic Educational Work
in Senior Year.

Establishment of life insurance courses
in the schools, colleges and universities
of the country is advocated by DR.. S. S.
Huebner, professor of insurance and COM
merce in the Wharton School of the
University of Pennsylvania. DR.. Huebner
Is now engaged in framing a life insur-
ance text book for the National Associa-
ton of Life Underwriters, and 1t is to
the members of this influential insurance
insurance education made q feature OF
the curriculum of the higher schools.
Life insurance, so vitally affecting
nearly every man and woman in the COM
munity and so intimately related to the
welfare of the Masses" DIR. Huebner
says, addressing members of the asso-
citation, SHOULD find some place in the
curriculum of our high schools, preferably
in the senior year.
Life insurance education in colleges
and universities, however, should also be
emphasized by all Means since, to an
increasing extent, college graduates be-
come leaders in the community and in
themselves are educational forces in their
respective localities"
10 present the subject adequately and
in accordance with the needs of different
classes of students, DR.. Huebner sug-
gests the following program, although he
says he appreciates that its full adoption
must be limited to the largest institu-
uons and must necessarily depend upon
the number of candidates Offering them
selves for the respective courses:
The establishment of special courses
in actuarial science. These courses can
advantagcouSly be given in the depart
ment of mathematics.
THE establishment of n separate course
In life Insurance adapted to the needs of
those who contend to become solicitors
and otherwise become connected with
various departments of the business. The
instruction in this course should be teach
meal in character and cover the field
thoroughly.
The establishment Of general course
adapted to meet the needs Of those stu
dents who desire only general knowledge
of insurance and who take the subject
as part of general business course.

permanent headquarters of the new IN
surance Federation Of Pennsylvania, a

ance agents Of this State,

WHEAT WEAKENS
UNDER PERSISTENT
SELLING PRESSURE
Large Increase in Visible
Supply-Chicago Market
Generally Heavy With
Support Poor.

CHICAGO, Sept %. - Wheat developed
considerable weakness today, prices SELL
ing off AZ from the high point of yes
terday on considerable selling pressure
of a persistent sort from an influential
quarter. There was no demand to offset
this selling pressure or the weight of large
arrivals at primary points, amounting to
2,S27OOO bushels today.
Cash wheat was weak everywhere, but
the break at outside markets was hardly
as pronounced as that here. If there
was any export business 1t was kept well
under cover. The exporters said that
over night acceptances from Europe were
negligible. Bradstreet's statement showed
q heavy increase in the visible supply
Minnea polls reported an increase In stocks
there of 100000 bushels in three days
compared with gain of 10000 bushels
in the corresponding time a year ago.
Sales of the cash article were $500
bushels. Minneapolis -four mills reported
that q temporary falling off in the sales
of flour had cut down their grind Futures
closed 2ia13 cents lower.
Trade in corn was light and the mar
ket heavy, with support poor. Consid-
cradle selling pressure came from the
same quarter that sold most of the
wheat and oats. The weather was wet
over most of the belt. A sale of corn
was reported from Decatur. ILL.,, to be
delivered this week. This is the earliest
that new corn has been handled in that
section for some years. Primary re-
ceipts were 2SsOOO bushels Cash sales
were 1O5OoO bushels. Futures closed
3sc to 11ac. lower.
Oats suffered from liquidation by mis-
celaneous longs and selling pressure
led by a large elevator and cash con-
Germs Cash houses were the best
buyers. A fair export business was
