c. A. PACE LECTURES ON
BUSINESS EDUCATION
Tells School of Accountancy Students
Increased Capacity. Not Mere
knowledge, Should Be Aim.

Education for the business man
is not merely the acquiring of tech
nical knowledge. as this alone, in any
vocation, does not lift a man UP to
any degree of success. but it is the
development of reasoning power in
order to make technical knowledge
worth WHILE" said Charles Ashford
Pace, member of the New York bar,
and joint author with his brother,
Homer s. Pace, of the Pace and Pace
text books in sccountancy. speaking
before students of the Washington
School of Accountancy in the assem-
bly, hall at the Y. NJ. c. A. last night
The speaker declared that the aver
age man makes a mistake in putting
increased earnings as his major mo-
tive in the furtherance of his educa-
should train himself for increased ca
pacity to accomplish things and that
the raise in salary will follow nat
urally.
Mr.. Pace said that in order to de-
velop reasoning power man should
master the science of law and the
science of economics, which develop
the reasoning power and judgment
and that he then should study the
science of accounting to develop the
technical side.
Charles H. Schnepfe, C. P. A, o.
Baltimore, instructor of accounting at
the Y. NJ C. A, also spoke, giving a
detailed explanation of the method or
teaching accounting at the Y, NJ. C. A.

rector, 7. NJ. c. A.. presided.

In the will Mrs. Saint Cyr left her

reduced the legacy to $4,000, and gave
the residuary to her husband, who is
now the husband of the widow of James

develop a question as to whether the
codicil was a forgery or not and for
that reason he filed a report to the sur

investigate the circumstances surround
ing his signing Of the codicil.

Sherman, Tex, Feb. 3.
Our family has seen Mr.. Saint Cyr
and positively deny any relationship with
him. So far as I know, my brother is
not in this country. Request you to
publish at once this denial. This pub
licity is very distasteful to me and my
family. H. NJ THOMPSON, Jr."
