BOSTON UNIVERSITY

Another era in the development of
education for business and foreign
trade was begun this week when
versity of Business Administration
sailed for Marking, China, to estab-
fish the first college of business adj
ministration in China. Chinese stu
dents have never before received
scientific training of college grade
along business lines, and this new
venture is receiving the support of
leading business men, Chinese, Eng
fish and American, in Shanghai and
all over the Empire.
Mr. Akerstrom graduated from Bos-
ton University College of Business
Administration in 1916, has studied
at Brown University and Northeast
ern College, and has also had ten
years of business training. He is
to be under the direction of the Uni
versity of Marking. With the sup
port of the Marking alumni, he
hopes to build up an institution of
such high standing that eventually
students can be exchanged between
Boston and Marking without any
loss of credit.
Although plans for the develop
ment of this school are as yet in
definite, it is probable that the last
two years of the four-year course
will be given in Shanghai, the New
York of China, and Boston Univer-
'sity in China will consist largely of
supervised laboratory work.
Mr. Akerstrsn will arrive in Nank-
ing early in December and will
study the Chinese language and bust
ness and labor conditions for the
first year of his stay.

HAS GOOD ADVERTISING IDEA
How Librarian In Los Angeles Stinu-
lates Public Curiosity in Choice
Of New Reading.

The idea that everything should be
put to some good use, wherever this
is possible, has been carried out by
the librarian of the Franklin high
school library and deposit station Of
the Los Angeles public library, In util-
izlng the covers that come on new
books direct from the publishers.
About two dozen of these gayly-colored
covers, having the appearance of small
posters, were placed in a row along
the lower edge of the big bulletin board
" tbe main hall of the library, right
next to pictures taken from illustrated
newspaper supplements. The result
was that "A good deal of interest was
given the little exhibition Of the
illustrative and advertising art, many
of thevisitors studying the display for
the purpose of maijng selections. In
fact the librarian states that the book
cover poster row has been responsible
for increasing the amount of unas-
signed reading.

FIRST AID TRAINING.
TO men And WOMEN
American Red Cross Is Teaching
Hundreds of Thousands Life
Saving Methods. ~

The purpose Of instruction in First
Aid to the injured offered by the Amer
lean Red Cross is to train men and
women to administer First Aid treat
ment promptly and intelligently when
emergencies demand 1t. First Aid
treatment Is not intended to take the
place of a physicians service. A sur
geon should always be summoned a.
precautionary measure where there
is an injury of any consequence, but
when one cannot be secured few min
utes' delay may mean a fatality. In
such case a person trained In First
Aid is invaluable not only to the In
dividual, but through him to the COM
munity In which he lives. y
There is perhaps no way'of ascer.
tanning the number of deaths or seri-
GUS disablements which result from
lack of proper safeguards or prompt
emergency treatment 1t is safe to as
sert they number thousands daily.
There can be no doubt that the appli-
cation Of First Aid methods to each
case would UNNECESSARILY tighten the
country's toll of suffering and death.
The dissemination Of First Aid train
ing and information has already pro-
duced farreaching and beneficial In
fluence in the prevention of accidents
on railroads, in mines and in great I'M
dustrial concerns.
The benefit of widespread knowl-
edge of First Aid in the event of a
great disaster, such as train wreck,
an explosion. an earthquake, ETC., ID
obvious. Laymen who have had First
Aid training can render efficient as
sistance. Many lives may depend upon
such emergency care.
Red Cross First Aid work Includes
~ the formation and conduct, through
Red Cross chapters, of classes for In
struction In accident prevention and
First Aid to the injured among men
and women in all communities and in
every industry; (2l the introduction of
courses Of instruction in high schools
and colleges.
The Red Cross is prepared to supply
First Aid books and equipment at rea-
sonable prices.
Every person in this country able to
do so should, in his own interest, re-
ceive Red Cross First Aid instruction.
Information about the course and In
struction classes may be had at the
nearest chapter headquarters.

MO OTHER man has stepped so
IN quickly from obscurity to the
presidency as Grover Cleveland. When
Garfield stood on the steps of the cap
itol to be inaugurated he never had
heard the name of this Buffalo attor-
,ney, who was to stand in the same
place four years afterward.
At forty-five Cleveland remained I'M
known outside his county. At forty
seven he was in the White House.
1t was meteoric rise. Yet, this man
was no meteor. Slow Of mind, with a
narrow range Of reading and of intel
lectual interests, Cleveland was stolid
in manner and without brilliant quail
tiles. But he had a character as rug
ged and immovable as mountain. 1t
had been built up in rural parsonages,
where his father. Presbyterian min
lister, was required to rear large fam
lily and set an example to the commu-
nifty on 5000 a year.
For more than a quarter Of a CEN
fury he plodded along in Buffalo,
quiet, trusted, but not distinguished
lawyer. Unmarried and without family
or a home, he took no part in the So
cial life of his community, where 100
other Buffalonians may have been bet
ter known to their fellow-tovnsmen.
He had been an assistant district at
torney of Erie county and also its
sheriff. The first that was ever heard

tractor for supplying bread to the
army at the outbreak Of the Civil war,
when the politicians refused to make
him an officer.
The first time Grant came in sight
of the enemy in the Civil war he frank
ly tells us that his heart jumped into
his throat. II had not the moral
courage" he said, ''to halt and con-
slider what to do; kept right on"
That is the whole story Of how
Grant got to Appomattox; he kept
right on. Starting without a friend
at his back, and with only a long, un-
broken trail Of disappointments be-
hind him, he never asked for promo
tion, an assignment or favor, yet this
unambitious man rose to be general
in chief.
No conqueror ever was higher souled
than Grant at Appohattox. Sad
and depressed, as he tells us, at
the downfall of valiant foe, he met
Lee as If that foeman in war were
neighbor in trouble.
When he became president 1t was
Grants misfortune to know no one ex-
cept his, associates in the war. The
self-respecting among them kept away
from him. But the self-seekers and
the camp followers crowded about a
man who never forgot and never dis
trusted friend, not even when he
came bearing Greek gift, and Sena-
tor Charles Sumner spoke scsrnfully
Of the administration as a "gift en-
terprise."
The many scandals Of the admins
tration were mostly traceable to the
betrayal of Grants childlike conf
dence in unworthy friends. "Black
Friday" In Wall street cast its
shadow on his family circle itself.
II The whisky ring involved the
presidents private secretary. a mem-
Der Of the cabinet was impeached for
squalid transactions. but by accepting
his resignation Grant let him dodge
the conviction.
A liberal section Of distinguished
Republicans revolted against Grants
election to a second term, but they
were mostly leaders without follow
ers. The popular revolt did not come
until the panic Of 1873 had plunged

3 A s THE Democrats had lost power
"A under bachelor president, James
Buchanan, they regained it after a
quarter of a century under another
bachelor president. That strange CO.
incidence was brought to an end by
Cleveland's marriage in. the second
year Of his administration.
From the day Cleveland entered the
executive mansion at Albany, gossip
busily made matches for him with one
after another of the eligible women
who appeared at his receptions. A spe-
cial favorite of those persistent ru-
mofs was the pretty widow of one of
his old law partners, Oscar Folsom,
whose home was one of the few homes
In Buffalo where this unsocial person
had been in the habit Of visiting. It
was not suspected that all along his
own choice had been the daughter
rather than the mother.
Mrs. Folsom and her daughter were
guests Of the president and Miss Cleve-
land In their first month at the White
House. Even the wiseacres Of Wash
ington did not guess that the beautiful
young girl who was present at a re-
I ception-all in white-.would in anoth-
er year be the bride Of her host.
Miss Folsom had graduated and was
travelling in Europe when the country
was set in flutter by the announce
ment of her engagement. She return
ed home to meet such an ordeal as no
other American girl Of twenty-five ever
has faced. Her name was on every
tongue In America; her portrait was
in every paper, and the press boats

Of him outside his neighborhood were
his edge-hammer vetoes from the
mayors office only two years before his
election to the presidency. The whole
state of New York stopped to listen
to his resounding whacks and next the
whole country took notice.
The sudden, the theatrical rise of
the man was not mere caprice, q
blind stroke of luck. On the contrary,
he was nominated and elected presi-
dent because he was the logical, COM
nonsense choice; because this I'M
known, unambitious lawyer Of Buffalo
had become in two swift years the
most conspicuous embodiment Of the
things that the times called for--inde-
pendence in politics and higher
standard of conduct in Office.
Here was a man VINO was to make
his own preccdents, man who was
ito care for nothing that had hap
pened before he happened. The first
president after the Civil war to have
had no part In that strife, he was with
out political past, and his face was
turned wholly to the future.
He struck dismay to the greedy
hopes of the Democrats, after their
long wandering in wilderness with
out spoils, by announcing that he,
would let the Republican office-hold-
ers finish their terms, with the ex-
ception OF those who had been guilty
Of offensive craftsmanship" When
the Republican senate attempted to
interfere with such removals as he
did make. he objected to the revival
Of an old statute "after an existence
Of nearly 20 years Of almost innocu-
GUS desuetude." This phrase was too
much for the senators, and the act was
repealed.
At last Cleveland deliberately sac
rificed himself for the sake Of plain
speaking. The prospects OF his re-
election were bright His native con-
servation had made him a favorite
in the great financial centers Of New
York, and the all-powerful business
interests OF the country were salts
fed with him. But on the eve Of the
election Of 1883 he upset the entire
situation by sending to congress bis
sensational tariff message, opening
with IN now oft-Quoted words: II
