BUSINESS TRAINING.

EDUCATORS differ in opinion regarding
r. which Of the numerous courses offered
- by the colleges of the land is the best.
The fact of the matter is that most of the
courses are good, but none of them are good
for everybody. A course that might be Just
the thing for someone else would not do at
all for you. You must make up your mind
as to what kind Of training will do you the
most good.
A business course teaches you to do things
1t teaches you the things that you must do
to make success in life. If you learn these
things while you are in school, or even learn
part of them, you will be just that much
ahead when you get out into the world. You
will know how to deal with people, what
business terms mean and many of the i'm
portant facts that will save you time and
money when you get into business for your
self.
1t is remarkable how few people know the
common ordinary rules of business; how few
of them know how to handle bank account,
for instance; how few Of them know any
thing about notes, certificates of deposit,
drafts, accounts and the numerous other
things that are encountered every day in the
world Of business
Whether or not you decide to follow the
lines Of a higher education" you should
not neglect to become well informed in the
basic transactions of the business world.

shipment amounted to less than one-tenth of
one per cent, it was said, and that was main

WHAT JORDAN OVERLOOKED.
<tTHERE WILL NEVER be another
great war;" declared Prof. David
Starr Jordan. former president of

Starr Jordan, former president OF
Stanford University, on many occasions upon
which he delivered his famous address on
world peace. The reason given by the savant
for this statement was that the great money
powers of Europe were SO closely related that
for one country to 60 to war would mean
great loss to those controlling the finances
of other countries. He pointed out that the
mammoth holdings of the Rothschilds-
most wealthy family in the world-in Ger
many, France and England absolutely put
war between these countries out of the ques-
ton, for to carry on such war the govern
ments would have to borrow the money from
the Rothschilds, who would never consent to
see their interests in any one Of these coun-
tries destroyed
That David Starr Jordans dream for
world peace was premature, all the world
now knows. Theoretically, the idea was per-
feet; practically, it was not. In observing
the strands of the great money web which
bound the countries of Europe together so
that the breaking of one might mean disas-
ter to the whole, David Starr Jordan over
looked one element. This was the vulner-
ability of the money kings. Despite the
wealth they controlled the Rothschilds and
other money powers did not control men.
Would a great government refuse to go to
war because the finance of his country was
at a low ebb, when residing within its bor-
ders was one of the richest men on EARTH
private citizen?
Naturally not. The wealth would be con-
fiscated if necessary and the money king
would have no redress against the royal
troops True, the government might pledge
itself to pay back the money forcibly bor-
rowed in the future, but this would depend
upon the fortunes of war and if the emperor
should be defeated and his kingdom rent
asunder no restitution would be made. Were
it within the power of a money king in one
of these countries to prevent war he would
assuredly do so, for if his country borrowed
from him and won he would be long time
in regaining his money, whereas if his
country lost, his wealth would be gone
irreparably. Were money the real king Of
Europe, the present war would not be rag
ing David Starr Jordan reckoned without
the might of king. ruling by rights heredi-
tary or divine

WHEN A MANS BEST.

In placing the average mans
"best age" at sixty, ex-President
Taft, like DR.. Osler, probably didn't
mean to. be taken seriously. To fix
an average "best age" for a human
ity in which no two persons ever de-
velop in the same way is hardly
possible.
A mans "at his best" when he's
most healthy and happy within him
self and .most useful to his fellows.
1t is brief and wonderful high
point. But the factors which lead
up to it are too many and subtle
ever to foot up exactly the same
sum. So it comes at a different age
to every man-and also reaches a
different height, of course, with
every man.

his ambitions. pleasures, surround

THE LARGER FEMINISM''
AND THE HOME.

Some glimmer of perception of
what the New State might be
like in the conduct of the home and
the care of children has been re-
fiected by Mrs. Charlotte Perkins
Gilman's lectures on "The Larger
Feminism." Without going too deep
ly into the proposition or endeavor-
ing to estimate the popularity of the
reforms after they shall have been
effected, it may suffice to say that
they will be all right, probably, for
those who like that sort of thing.
In the first place, Mrs. Gilman
says, the future home will be kitch-
enless. Instead of troubling her
brain, occupied with matters of
greater pith and moment, over the
preparation Of menus and their
translation into three meals a day
the housewife will order what she
pleases from the communal or CO.
operative kitchen ins the next block

make every mans "best age" differ
ent.
The saying, "a mans as old as
his arteries" is somewhat relevant
to the ''best age" problem. The
physical constitution develops and
declines similarly in all normal or
average" men. 1t has a uniform
ing influence on the period at which
the average" mans "best age"
comes. This influence is like the
secondary influence which the tide
has on the force and height of a
wave which has been whipped up by
the wind and broken by a reef.
The ascetic and gentle john Bige-
low lived to be ten years older than
Twain or Tolstoi; and his "best age"
certainly came as late in life as
theirs, if not even later. He lacked
something of the. original rugged
ness Of their physical constitutions,
too; and this shows, we think, that
a mans physical nature is smaller
factor in the 'best age" problem
than his capacity for self-guidance
and self-development.
The Washington times., 1914-03-25

business hours, at any rate, will be
childless. The children will be ac-
commodated for that period in sort
of glorified and sublimated day
nursery, while the mother, in place
of restricting her thought and care
to her own offspring, ponders and
decides on the welfare of the Off
spring of. the whole race.
Doubtless there are a good many
homes and a good many children
that would be better off, even today,
for the changes which Mrs. Gilman
suggests; but we hesitate to con-
clude that the need for reform is
anything like as urgent as she ap-
pears to believe. In this part of the
world, anyhow, there are far more
well-prepared meals and properly
guarded children and happy homes
than Mrs. Gilman would credit.
Most mothers, with such help from
encouraging fathers as masculine
limitations permit, are doing fairly
well even now.
1t has become old-fashioned apd
reactionary to hold theories Of sex
division of functions and vocation,
and it may be, of course, that jail
the old ideas are wrong and all the
new ones right. Nevertheless, SIM
pie folk, as most of US are, may pre-
sumo to doubt that the world will
be better or happier or even wiser

THE LINCOLN HIGHWAY.

A Lincoln highway that did not
pass through Baltimore and Wash
ington ought at least to be called by
some other name. If the Lincoln
highway project is to make the ap-
peal to patriotic sentiments that it
must make if the great plan shall
succeed, then it must have some ex-
cuse for using that magnetic name.
Leave Washington out of the route,
and it will be without possible ex-
cuse for calling itself by the name
CT the Emancipator.
There is every reason why the
highway should pass through the
rich historic region that will be ira
versed on the New York-Philadel-
2hia- Baltimore Washington route. If
The highway is to be merely speed
track for motor tourists, with no
.,ther consideration than its number
Of miles and the possibility of get
Ting from ocean to ocean in the
shortest possible time, route might
he laid out that would serve this
purpose better But if it is to make
any appeal to the sensibilities Of
Americans desirous of seeing their
country's places of greatest patriotic
inspiration, it must pass through
Washington. The movement to have
Washington strongly represented at
the Lincoln Highway Association
meeting. in behalf of the Washing
ton route, deserves more than loyal
local support here and in Baltimore.
1t should he taken up by everybody
who is concerned about the senti-
mental aspects of this large enter
prise.
