BRITISH BUSINESS ME- THODS
COMPARED WITH AMERICAN

and all of England has only as
many high schools as the state OF
California. The aims of education,
however, differ from those of Amer
ica. In this country every child is
educated as though he were not go
ing to college and at IA a child has
general foundation in education
and is then apprenticed to learn
trade, with the result that he is
well-groomed to earn a living before
20, when American children are still
choosing a vocation.
An English custom which the
speaker believes America could well
adopt, and may adopt soon If un-
employment is not relieved, is the
retirement of business executives
from active business around the age
of so. This is done in Great Britain
to make room Tor younger eXecu-
tiveS, usually members of the same
family, and is expected in business
life of England. Such a system in
the United States would aid in re-
lieving unemployment and Haddock
believes could become as readily ac-
cepted here as in Great Britain.
A short talk was given to cham
Der of commerce members by Bob
Reynolds on the Junior college play,

Comparison between business con-
ditions in England and in the Uni
ted States was made in an interest
ing manner at yesterdays Ell Centro
Chamber of Commerce luncheon by
Benjamin H. Haddock, well-known
lecturer who is giving several talks
in FL Centre this week. The out
standing thing in English business
is its stability and the speaker
pointed cut that business houses
have been established for hundreds
of years, some 800 to 1000, with
the same families at their heads all
those years. This makes conserva-
tism and honest methods neces-
sity for bankruptcy is unthinkable
to a British business man and in
every case means that man or
business concern is through doing
business permanently.
This permanence is brought out
by the fact that nine-tenths of the
land, in the city of London, is own
ed by six or seven people. owners
of buildings have 999 year leases OH
the land and it is amazing to note
that these leases are falling due for
renewal at the present time in many
cases. Buildings are often as old as
the firms which use them and
London business man cares little
about outside appearances, but is
much interested in his personal Gre
dit and bank credit. In fact, the
speaker stated, people do not seem
to trust a man who has a new and
modern office.
Farmers never own their farms,
but lease them for generations from
the nobility, and just as a neWcom-
er cannot break into these leases
for a farm or business house, so a
certain class in England cannot en-
ter any other class. A man is born
into a certain class and must re-
main there and Haddock pointed
out that even poverty is inherited
and one born to it has no opportun-
ity, as in the United States, of over
coming it.
Lack of Education Noted
One of the most amazing things
in England, the speaker stated, is
the lack of education. Little more
than 90 per cent of the population
attends school after the age of IA

was not.
Against her impressive performan-
