in the benefit the country will receive
through the increased efficiency of the
secretaries. He says:
"The students at our summer school
session for commercial secretaries are
mature men of unusual ability and
leaders in their communities, The eff
feet of the summer school on these
men will be to strengthen their faith
in the modern, practical, scientific
method of dealing with their problems
and to strengthen them in their faith
in the necessity of analyzing all local
problems in terms of wider experience.
II am particularly interested in this
session of the summer school, not pri-
marily for what those who attend will
receive but for the added service they
will be able to render their cOmmuni-
ties upon their return. In this period
of reconstruction and readjustment,
our progress is dependent upon our ap-
plication of science and our profiting
by experience wherever available. |
feel, therefore, that this school will be
of inestimable value because of the
increased value these secretaries will
be able to render their communities"
This secretarial school is, in brief, an
intensive course of two weeks in sec
retaria problems and methods. That
there is need of this school is shown
by the registration of the first year,
which surprised even the officials of
the three organizations back of it.
This registration of 200 men was
representative of every section of the
United States, including Hawaii. Can
ada sent its quota and Cuba was rep
resented. Several women attended.
While most of those in attendance
we're registered as secretaries Of cham
bers of commerce, the list shows
others in considerable variety.
The study was of two kinds, funda-
mental and technical. The instruct
crs in the former were educators of
national prominence and in the lat
fer leading authorities in the secretar-
ial ranks, Harris hall was used as n
class room. Two hours a day was de-
voted to fundamentals and three and
half hours to technical subjects.

Cleveland Chamber of Commerce, lee

to the Varied Forms of Service, What
Is Expected of Him and What He
should Expect of Himself"

The Spaniards, however, sent an
other expedition under the command
of General Sllvestre, who established
a base at Melilla, midway on a prom
ontory which extends from the east
ern end of the Spanish zone north
ward into the Mediterranean. From
that point, General Silvestre's troops
attempted to penetrate southward into
the interior. Early successes were
reported, but last spring the Span
iards encountered strong native troops

WHO FOUNDED ST. LOUISE
Historical Society There Debates Ques-
tion Before Erecting Monument
Commemoratinu Event.

st. Louis.-The offer of the newly
formed st. Louis Historical society to
erect a group monument here to com
memOrate the founding of the city
February 10. 1864, with the suggestion
that the central figure by Rene Au-
guste Chouteau, surrounded by group
of pioneers, including Laclede, has re-
opened the old question as to who
was the actual founder of this city.
Chouteau has been regarded by
many historians as Laclede's lieuten-
ant.
The society has had the inscription
on Chouteau's tomb, showing the date
of his birth at 1740, recut. Records
show that if the date were correct,
Chouteau's mother was only seven years
old at the time of his birth.

Famous Pericardis Case.

Madrid.-That part of Morocco

troops have just suffered disastrous
reverses at the hands of the Moors
with the loss of thousands of men and
thousands of square miles of terri
tory, is part of the notorious Barbary
coast whose pirates preyed on Euro
pean commerce for many years and
carried Europeans into slavery.
In the present generation it has
been made famous by the operations
of the chieftain, Mulai Ahmed er-Rai-
sui, who captured and held for ran
som Ion Perdicaris. an American citl-
zen, in 1905. This was in the admin
istration of President Roosevelt and
evoked from Secretary Hay the his

the almost immediate release of Per-
dicaris.

aisle, are tiers of coffin-shaped boxes,
with the lids resting loosely upon
them. Each box is placarded with
the names of the sector along the Yer

found.

Many of the coffins are heaped high
with flowers and wreaths, and on all

whose memories center about the 10
cality named on the box OF the 400,-
600 French who died at Verdun, said
the able, 100000 will never be identi-
fed. An "ossuaire" is to be erected
on this spot, and in 1t will be placed
these sacred bones," where they will
rest. Each sector will have a tomb
designated for it, where now there is
wooden box.
-Four shrines, Catholic, Protestant,
Jewish and Musselman, will be
grouped about the ossuaire. Each day

clutched by the soldiers whose graves
they mark, as though waiting for the

Isn't there something new under the
sun, in spite of the proverb? Any
way, that is the sort of school
that has been going on at Evanston,
ILL.,, right in the vacation days of
summer.
Moreover. TINS National Secretarial
school Is believed to be a project of
far-reaching Importance in the busi-
ness and civic life of the country.
John Ihlder, manager of the civic de-
NelOpment department of the Chamber
of Commerce of the United States,
speaking for himself and for Presi-
dent Joseph Ii. Defrees, puts the stu
alton like this:
'The American business man today
stands in position of greater respon-
sibility and greater opportunity than
ever before in our history, for we are
becoming predOminantly an urban and
a business nation, His responsibility
cannot be discharged, his opportunity
met by individuals acting separately
they must organize. The character
and purpose of the business mans or
ganizatiOns therefore are of first i'm
pOrtance to the nation. Not only must
they be publlc-spirited and propose to
serve constantly and definitely the
common interests of their community,
but In order that they may so serve
they must know that good intentions
alone never produce results.
The effectiveness of commercial
or trade association depends in large
measure on the secretary AS he in
creases in knowledge and understand
ing, not only of his own business tech
nique and of his local field, but of
the general principles that underlie
and affect all business and civic in
terests, he will become increasingly
valuable to his organization and to
American business generally.
Organization Secretaries will give to
these men in short time what it
would take years for them to learn in
dividualy, and will in addition give
them a sense of their common problems
and responsibilities which can be Sc
cured only by group of men repre-
senrins many communities studying
their problems impersonally and under
able leadership"
President II. b. Beach of the Ma
tional Association of Commercial Or
ganiZation Secretaries sees in the at
tendance of nearly 200 real demand
and real field of service for the train
ing course. He says:
TT will create sound. practical
basis for chamber Of commerce service
as result of which the cham
bers Of commerce of this country may
expect the highest efficiency and COM
potency in business administration
and in the execution of their varied
activities"

soon pacified. The Spanish territory,
which is administered by Gen. DANA
so Berenguer as high commissioner,
was not so submissive.
Spanish troops at first made their
base on the Atlantic coast of Morocco

From there they penetrated well into
the interior and captured a number of
Moorish strongholds, including the So
