.CC0UNTANCY
SCHOOL HAS
F|NEREC0RD

Twenty-eight years Of specializa-
ton in accountancy training is
t h record of the Benjamin
Franklin Accountancy hoo |,
known until 10 years ago as Pace
Institute.
The school, founded in 1907 by
Homer st. Clair Pace and Charles
A. Pace, was one of the pioneer
schools of accountancy.
From the first the purpose was
to give the instruction a definite
vocational value so that those
who wished to do so might pre-
pare themselves in the shortest
possible time for positions in the
accounting departments of bust
ness organizations, in the Govern
ment service, or in the field of
public accountancy practice. At
the same time care is taken to
provide a basis for ultimate ad-
vancement to executive posts such
as the positions held by chief &C
countants, comptrollers, auditors
and treaSurerS.
Courses Of Study
The courses of study include
fundamental theory and practice
of accounts, auditing, cost &C.
counting, mercantile accounting,
transportation accounting, income
taxation, applied economics, fl
nance and law subjects such as
contracts, agency, partnership,
law, corporation law, law of nego-
TABLE instruments, bailmentS,
bankruptcy and banking law. The
complete course leads to the de-
greeS of Bachelor and Master of
Commercial Science.
The text books used in the
school are being constantly re-
vised by the Pace technical staff
at New York to keep abreast of
changing quirements. The prob
lem material used in the course
consists of work assignments
adapted from actual accounting
jobs and to give a practical flavor
to the instruction. Special atten-
ton has been given to the prepa-
ration of students for the certified
public accountant examinations,
and Benjamin Franklin graduates
have made a notable record in
these tests.
Veteran Faculty
The school is fortunate in hav-
ing a veteran faculty, the mem.
bers having a teaching experience
ranging from Z to 26 years, and
the average for the entire lecture
staff is Is years. The accounting
faculty consists of men who prac.
tice as we'll as teach, and is under
the direction of Dean Edwin C.
BoSworth, who has the distinction
of having prepared more students
for success in the District of Co
lumbia C. P. A. examinations than
any other accounting teacher.
Last year the freshman class
numbered 365 and it is expected
that the enrolment this year will
equal that figure. AS is customary
the entering class will be divided
into sections of limited size sc
that each individual may receive
adequate attention.

Dark-eyed Pat De Cicco Miss
Todd's divorced husband and sup
posedly one of the key witnesses" in
the investigation, was hustled before
the grand jury after a spectacular
transcontinental plane dash.
Fifteen minutes later he emerged,
smiling cynically, slipped on his
camel's hair overcoat, and walked
off, while foreman George Rochester
admitted De Cicco had been unable
to give us any information which
had any bearing on the case"
The failure of De Cicco to offer
important testimony virtually threw
the inquiry into the lap of Roland
West, Miss Todd's middle-aged
angel" Unless Vests testimony
before the grand jury produces
tangible evidence" Deputy District
Attorney George Johnson said, the
case will be closed.
Meanwhile, it was learned rumb-
lings of discord were heard within
the closed grand jury session, one
juror charging the investigation was
a waste of taxpayers money"
De Cicco was slightly ired at the
brisk procedure which placed him
under technical custody" the
minute he got off the plane at
Grand Central airport.

He contributed the information
that Miss Todd was mot in finan-
cial trouble - she probably was
worth over 100000"
He said her closest woman friend
was zasu Pitts and her closest male
friend was Roland West. I've never
met him and don't know him. but
I've heard of him"
The grim jaWed middle age d
businessman, who backed Miss
Todd's roadside cafe venture, told
neWspapermen he believed he could
name Miss Todd's mystery friend
but had nothing else of importance
to add.
"I'll disclose that name to the
grand jury, and to no one else" he
said. Il know the name of the per-
son Miss Todd intended to take to

POWER RATES
DRIVE FIRMS
INTO CANADA

When asked during a speech in
the house of representative early
this year whether it is not a fact
that many industries in New Eng
land were removed to Canada be-
cause of lower electric rates in the
Dominion, Congressman John E.
Rankin, of Mississippi, answered
that such was the case.
He added that last year one cot
ton mill in the district he repre-
sents saved $2,112 in month, be-
cause of lower power rates given
for electric energy from Muscle
Shoals through the IVA. Other
industries have saved in proper
ton and what has been done in
places served by the IVA can also
be done in every state in the
union, the Congressman said fur
ther.
Members of the Imperial Irri-
cation District directorate when
informed of this quotation from
Rankin's speech, as contained in a
bulletin at district headquarters,
were of the opinion that with the
distribution of ALI American Canal
power kept entirely in the hands
of the district, industry as we'll as
ranchers in this area would profit
to a very great extent through
low power rates which obtain only
where municipality or publicly
owned systems are in operation.
The board has often stated that
such distribution of power by the
district is one of the main features
of the power program it has re-
peatedly endorsed, and that it is in
earnest hope that this program
will be put into execution in its
entirety following the completion
of the canal.
