The year at Exeter has In many ways
been unique In the matter OF diniculties

influenza in the fall term lost many days
OF work; at the end OF the term only
half OF the accustomed tasks In some
cases had been accomplished. In addi-

signed and the first feverish exultation
had died down. Principal Perry appealed
TO the students to settle down TO make
the most of their shattered year; for
men fight better with their broken wea-
pons than with their hands. The appeal
was nobly met as the excellence OF the
years work will attest. Lastly, classes
were formed to holp those who were
newly discharged from the army and

in economies. finance, politics and his
tory, says Christian Science Monitor.
Returning to Japan, he was appointed
a secretary In the department Of
finance and also to a chair In the i'm
perial university at Tokyo. Subse-
quently he was director Of the bureau
Of the national debt, banks and reve-
nue..
In the course Of time he was admit
ted to the house Of peers, and was vice
minister Of finance, first Ia 1S92-1S97,
and again in 1S9S-19O4. He was made
a baron in 1895 and a %viscount In 1907.
More recently he has been chief OF
the board Of audit. To knowledge OF
the technique Of banking. national
finance and international credit the
yiscOunt adds interest In and mastery
Of natural science. and In both fields
he IS an authority.
His selection as mayor comes aftei

Efficiency Can Be Overdone.

1t may be that the new and much
Wanted religion of efficiency al be
carried too far. A little less of 1t, at
times, might work no great harm. Not
that we would decry efficiency, mind
you. Doubtless it is a fine thing. But
look what 1t has done to the Ger
mans.
The idea we are trying to get at 10
that If a man follow always and eter-
nally the cast iron rules of efficiency,
It is apt to make him stale as any
other steady diet would do, or to
weary him as it would weary him to
be always prim and sedate and al
ways to wear stiff collars and tight
shoes.-Los Angeles Times.
