COMMERCIAL EDUCATION FOR MEN WHO PLAN

commercial education must be taught
with this implication. Not only are the
principal modern languages necessary,
but such subjects as psychology,
ciology and ethics should be taught

tente cordiale in commerce. To achieve
this in the usual classroom is impos-
sible. Its problems are determined by

needs.

During the winter the cardinal, the

How he could have failed to hear the

be heard occasionally all through the

A curiously marked humming bird,
cinnamon colored in body, with bright
red crown, comes from the Island of
Juan Fernandez. One from TERRA del
Fuego has a dazzingly red head, which
is startlingly vivid when 1t is seen
fitting about in a snowstorm. Beau
tiful specimens with long green and
red tail feathers crossed like scissors
came from Bolivia and Argentina, and
small sun-gemmed humming birds were
from Brazil. while the tiniest specimens
of this brilliantly hued tribe were OBJ
tanned in Cuba.
DR.. Ridgway showed some beautiful
portions of the highlands of this re-
public they are so plentiful that the
whir of their wings is never out of

Ridgway has spent many months in
field work there. He showed his caller
many specimens of the beautiful tana-

some showing soft changeable tints in
