with only a few aged scholars sur
viving from the era of general cul-
ture, Barr and Buchanan found it
necessary to train faculty as well
as students. Denoted from pro-
fessors to tutors, the staff was told
to forget about research and the
writing Of text books and required
not merely to attend faculty semi
mars but to master the entire new
program" within a period of years.
Some resigned, but most launched
with enthusiasm into their re-educa-
ton.
The great books schedule consists
mostly Of works of which the aver
age educated man has heard, but
which he has never read. The ma
jority are available in cheap Eng
lish translations, so that the entire
series costs about $3.50. But it was
found in five cases that new edi-
tions were required, and that five
Of the volumes had never been
translated into English. Both these
tasks were taken over by faculty
members.
Translated for the first time into
English were Ptolemy's "Almagest,'
Augustine's Concerning Music,
Bonaventura' Reduction of ths
Arts to Theology" Kepler's "Epitome
of Astronomy" and Concerning
Revolutions, by Copernicus.

only works for nothing, but is the
greatest ever assembled The his
tory of each branch of learning
changes from a dry catalogue into
fascinating serial, narrated by the
very heroes that achieved the most
brilliant victories of the human
mind. For example, the first fine
flush of adventure is recaptured
when Aristarchus himself tells how
2,l00 years ago he observed that
when the moon is half full a right
angle is intersected by the line of
vision from earth and a light ray
from sun to moon; and how he pro-
ceeded from this starting point to
calculate, with utmost elegance of
geometry. the distances from earth
to sun and moon.
Watch Awakening.
For President Barr the most in
teresting experience of the two years
has been watching the moment at
which the minds of different men,
bers of the group suddenly come
alive. This intellectual awakening
has often been so distinct and dra-
matte as to become a matter of
campus gossip. Having gift of
pungent phrase, he comments that
lit is as if a given undergraduate
had come out from under an anes-
thetic"

two years he has raised $185 900 in
private gifts, and has even worked

budget in 1945.
For sheer horror, few things in
the history of American education
can have surpassed the emotions Of
freshmen entering st. Johns in
September, 1897, when they were
confronted with a choice between
the system then prevailing and the
Barr buchanan New Program" !"
Instead of four years of fun and
frolic, the latter spread before them
the prospect of four terms of strenu-
Gus mental labor.
The elective system stamped on
American universities by Charles w.
Eliot of Harvard was swept into the
dustbin, along with all snap"
courses. Students were not to cod
die their personalities" a term
generally meaning intellectual de-
formities," which were to be COR
rected as speedily as possible. They
were to receive no vocational train
ing for jobs. Instead, they were to
learn to read, write and think-that
is, to read with understanding
write with clearness and precision
and think with logic able to dis
tinguish between cause and effect,
opinion and truth.

The cooperation movement also
may mark an era of new importance
for the council, set up in 1898. It
has made numerous reports, many

been pigeon holed either in the
Commerce Department or the White

One of its few public declarations
called for amendment of the Labor
Relations Act to give employers, as
well as employe organizations, the
right to seek rulings from the Labor
Board. To date, however, the ad-
ministration has opposed changes in
the act.
The council also is known to have
been strongly opposed to the undis-
tributed profits tax. The 1888 Con-

Your Income Tax
CHECKING DELINQUENTs.
No. 30.

The Bureau of Internal Revenue
has at its command many sources
for checking up delinquent taxpay-
ers. One of these is the "informa-
ton at source" provision CT the
Revenue Act, under which persons,
lin whatever capacity acting" are
required to report to the Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue at WASH
ington, D. c., payments of fixed or
determinable income to another in
any calendar year of $1,000 or more
on Form 1899. If the recipient is
married and is citizen or resident
of the United States, reports need
not be made Of salary or other COM
pensation for personal services un-
less the payments aggregate $4,000
or more. If the marital status of
the payee is unknown to the payor,
the payee is considered a single
person for the purpose of filing an
information return of salary or other
compensation for personal services.
Fixed or determinable income in
cludes wages, salaries, royalties, pre-
mlums, rent, interest. etc. A separate
return OF information for each en-
ployee is required of employers. The
requirements are not limited to peri
odical payments, but single pay
ment must be reported. Domestic
and resident foreign corporations are
required to make separate report,
Form 1899, of dividends or distribu-
tions for each individual, citizen, or
resident of the United States, resi-
dent fiduciary, or resident partner
ship any member of which is a
citizen or resident, who was paid
sl0O or more during the calendar
year 1898.
All persons or organizations acting
at any time during the year 1898 as
broker or other agent in stock, bond,
or commodity transactions Cnclud-
ing banks which handle clearing
orders for depositors or custodian
accounts) are required to file annual
returns of information on Form 100
With respect to all customers, de-
positors, or accounts for whom or
which the total amount of either the
purchases or sales of securities or
commodities. or the total market
value Of the securities exchanged,
is $4,000 or more during the calen-
dar year 1888 and each subsequent
calendar year, with certain excep-
tions. A separate Form HOO must
be prepared for each customer, de-
positor, or account for whom or
which business was transacted dur
ing the year, and must show the
name and address and other infor-
nation provided for in the form.
Information returns are carefully
checked with individual returns of
taxpayers. Thousands of delinquent
returns and additional revenue
amounting to millions of dollars
have been secured as the result of
the examination of information
returns.

Textile Buying Rush
Brings Best Volume
In Many Months

Yards Of Gray Goods
Reported Sold
BY the Associated Press.

BY inc ASSOCIATED PreSS.
NEW YORK. Feb. 2s.-A wave OF
buying rolled into textile markets
today, stirring hopes for spring
and summer business surge.
Worth Street, the cotton cloth
trading center, had one of its busiest
days in months 1t was estimated
more than 100000 yards of gray
goods changed hands, with prices in
some lines up Is of cent a yard.
Textile business woolen,
silk and rayon goods as we'll as cot
ton cloth-was described by some
observers as the most active since
last summer, in the opening stage
Of the 1898 recovery move.
Since textile markets in the past
often have been harbingers of gen.
eral business improvement, the latest
squirt of buying has attracted atten-
ton in financial circles.
A rapid advance in the price of
raw silk continued both in this
country and Japan. The market
for silk has risen about IS cents a
pound since January l to the high
est in six years under combination
of increased use here and abroad
and dWindling supply.
Textile men suggested the rise in
price of silk would tend to stimu-
late sales of rayon and other fibers.
Trade reports said rayon consump-
ton in the United States in jan
uary about doubled the comparable
1898 figure, as measured by deliv-
cries of fabrics.
Rayon manufacturers it was re-
ported, had substantial untitled Or
ders to keep mill operations going.
Behind the improvement in tex
tile demand analysts saw recent
decline in inventories to unusually
low levels, coupled with we'll sus-
tanned retail demand for goods and
hopes for better trade in the spring
and summer.

Treasury would refund 81 ,294 900 900
notes on that date. Heretofore, it
has borrowed more money at the

The part of utilities in any gen.
eral business improvement has been
discussed widely, and Senator Bailey,
Democrat, Of North Carolina, chair
man of the Senate Commerce Com
mittee, predicted today that Con-
gress would write national power
policy tending to eliminate uncer-
tainty as to their future.
In an interview, he expressed the
opinion this policy would be 'ex-
pressed in action on a variety of
legislation. He cited flood control
