BOND statesmen
REPORT A BETTER
SECURITIES TRADE
After First Day on Street
They Tell of Desire of
Traders to Get Into Market.
London May Reopen.

Bond salesmen who have been permit
ted to go on the street and canvass for
new business are reporting to their houses
fairly brisk demand for both the listed
and unlisted securities. Getting in direct
touch with the individual Investors who
deal in small lots, they naturally are able
to judge the situation outside the broker
age offices. And, in a general way, they
are reporting existence of a returned con-
iidence which they declare is almost
everywhere apparent.
There has, In fact, developed such
fairly brisk demand, in small way, for
various classes of securities that talk
is heard among the investment brokers of
having the committees supervising the
sales of securities again lift the ban so
that trading In larger volume may be per-
nitted. Ultimately this new demand
may be the entering wedge for a move
rnent that shall gradually develop into
resumption of business on an unrestricted
scale.
The committees, since their orsani-
zation by the Stock Exchange and by
bond houses dealing in unlisted securities,
have fixed prices as Of July 30 as the
basis upon which transfers shall be based.
Statesmen, however, find a demand for
some of the high-grade issues at prices
which are in many instances in excess
OF those which ruled under the depressing
rally, offers much encouragement to the
supervising committees and to brokers
generally. 1t is being used as a bull
argument for some action looking to
reopening of the exchanges
GOLD POOL A FACTOR.
Foreign exchange, that determining
factor which is just now of such great
Importance. still maintains an easier
tendency and another drop in rates Is
looked for soon. Organization OF the
s100, 900, 900 gold pool and larger grain and
cotton shipments are having a good
effect abroad and the cables tell Of an
easier and better feeling all around.
Effect of the inauguration of the new
gold pool should accomplish in an arbi-
trary manner what has been a matter
of gradual growth during the last few
is to provide a means not only of pre-
venting advances in sterling exchange
rates, but of forcing the quotations down
to a workable basis.
First instalment of the pooled gold to
be collected from the banks will be s25,-
100000. This will be deposited at first in
New York, and will be transferred to
Ottawa and paid over there to the agent
of the Bank of England in such amount
as, In the Judgment of the committee,
will be thought necessary.
When gold has been deposited bills will
be Immediately drawn upon and offered
on the market in sufficient volume to
keep rates on a reasonable basis. Hope
is expressed that the net result will be
prompt building UP Of sterling exchange
machinery from the complete breakdown
to which it has been subjected.

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-
tion of Life Underwriters, and It Is to
the members Of this influential insurance
organization that he appeals to have life
insurance education made a feature of
the curriculum of the higher schools.
Life insurance, so vitality affecting
nearly every man and woman In the com
munity and so intimately related to the
welfare of the Masses" DR.. 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"
To 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-
tions 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
advantageously be given in the depart
ment of mathematics.
THE establishment Of a 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
nical in character and cover the field
thoroughly.
The establishment of general course
adapted to meet the needs Of those stu.
dents who desire only a general knowledge
OF insurance and who take the subject
as a part of general business course,

SWARTHMORE TEAM

WORK IN EARNEST
Though Weather Is Not
Conducive to Best Train

Proteges Through Hard
PAGES.

SWARTHMORE, Pa, Sept. 22.-The
first workout of the season was given
the Garnet squad this morning, when
more than As candidates reported to
Coaches Gieg and DR.. Mercer Only light
work was indulged. A scrmmage will
be held Thursday.
Seven of last years team reported and
1t will take some hustling on the part
of the new candidates to win places. The
place which is causing the most anxiety
on the part of the coaches is centre, as
a new man will have to be developed
before the first game with vihanova,
October 3. The material is accredited by
all the coaches and Captain Ben Cline
as being the best to enter college in
entering with excellent records which
promise success for the season.
The slogan is to BEAT Pennsylvania"
on October 81 and then on to Haverford
as the big objective point on November
q. This is the first clash between these
old Quaker rivals in ten years and
Haverford will be looking for revenge
for the defeat of 1904.
The University of Virginia will make
its first appearance in this section for
many years when it comes to Swarth-
more, November Ia. Revenge will be it's
aim also, as the game Of 1911 resulted in
victory for swarthmore, to 8.
Since Coach Bob Maxwell will have
four veterans from last year to begin
with in Pete Hunter, "Jud" Endicott
Pat" McGovern and Tom McCabe,
two ends must be developed. Captain
Cline, MacKissiek and "Porky" Murch
three men are all excellent kickers, so
that department will be stronger than
usual.
