Uset as of College Educa: tion in Business 'By Geotge Wheeler Hinman, Universal Service Staff Corresponent of the Baltimore American Dying : \ "A new baok comes off the press with thousands of facts Tey garding the present debate on higher education in business. ~~ This book is "Who's Who in America." It is not published to prove anything. It is merely a list of some 24,000 or more Americans who have become conspicious in earning a. living a living and, therefore, are counted as conspiciously successful. With each of the names is given a short biography showing how the man or woman was prepared for the business of life. \ What do these names and biographies show? What light do they shed upon the usefulness or uselessness of college educatipn in the universal occupation of making a living? Do they go to prove the case of the Chicago business men who have said that education is a handicap in business, or do they suggest that college education is a better preparation for-business than no higher education at all? The figures tell the business story. Out of 24,000 persons some 2,000 did not give the facts re- garding their early education. Of the other 22,000 some 14,000 are college and university graduates. About 3,000 others attend- ed colleges and universities, but were not graduated, yet are counted as having some higher education. In the list of 24,000 successful Americans, therefore, 17,000 are set down as prepared for the business of life by universities and colleges. This means that more than three-fourths of the successful men and women had higher education. It means, in fact, that seventy-seven out of every hundred had higher edu- cation. Of course, these figures do not finally prove the case for higher-education as a preparation for business. But they go a long way. The writer has seen the objection that for a man to be con- spicious in print or between book covers does not always mean that he is a business success. The objection is true enough. In 'Who's Who," there are listed many men who would not rank high at the income tax bureau in Washington. - Buti as seientists, inventors, chemists, geologists and professional workers in law, medicine and so on, most of them are just as necessary parts of America's huge business machine as are manufacturers and store- keepers. Besides, in thelist of 24,000 su¢eessful men and women there are thousands who are in business in the strictest sense of the word. Railroad officials, factory managers, bank presidents and vice-presidents, oil men, mining men, engineers and builders, constructors and capitalists--all are heavily represented among the so-called successful Americans. There is no effort here to apply the foregoing facts to the whole field of American business, and more than there is an effort in "Who's Who" to exhaust the whole field of business success. But, nevertheless, the facts and the figures in question make a case for higher education in business. That almost half the men who go to college would have done better to close their education with high school, that American colleges and universities have been deluged since the war with young men who are well adapted to practical life, but ill adapted to further study and that therefore a tremendous amount of business waste in higher education has to be charged up against colleges and universities every year--all these things may he granted, yet the figures indicate that from a business viewpoint, at least 200,000 to 250,000 students in the United States are get- ting the full value of their time and their money at the institu- tions of higher learning. though one were to estimate, on the other side, that the misfits and derelicts and failures in higher education were nearly as numerous as the successes. \ There is one more argument that perhaps should be state for what it is worth. It is, that if the whole white man's world thinks higher education the thing for business efficiency, that if by promoting higher education Germany became the most effi¢ient business in the world, then surely it is hard to resist the con- clusion that higher fueation, with all its faults and failings; is doing. today for national welfare many of the things. that its friends claim to its credit. This argument is a very large one. It therefore, is therely submitted and left to the judgment of the business reader. SCUCOG and its ENVIRONS By REV. F. G. WEIR © , MINOR HAPPENINGS, INCIDENTS AND EVENTS Already mentioned, Scugog has had in the course of its history branches of at least two other organizations. It had at one time, about thirty-five years ago, a branch of the True Blues, and also a branch of the Patrons of Industry. The latter was a kind of farmers co-operative society not much beloved by local business men who unkindly spoke of it as the society of the "Pigs of Ireland." ' : i Scugog News. : py December 9, 1875. "Mr. E. Foster, of Scugog, being about to move from that township, to the Western part of the Province, a large number of the neighbors testified the high esteem in which he, the worthy partner of his life and his estimable family are held by giving them a genuine warm, hearty surprise. On the evening of Thursday, December 2nd, the family were enjoy- ing their usual quiet when without notice or ceremony the house was invaded by a large formidable but happy and pleasant band, | some forty or fifty of Scugog's intelligent sons and daughters, | the ladies taking possession of the culinary implements w! e the gents put away their horses and made themselves _generally at home. As quick as thought a sumptous table was spread and a general invitation given by the lady visitors for all to sit down and make themselves comfortable which all present certainly did without the slightest hesitation. Everything was prepared in first clas§ order and a most egreeable time was spent. Much interest was manifested by all in the future well-being of Mr. Foster and his estimable family; all expressed their regrets at the idea of parting with the fi , and all joined in the wish t much prosperity and happiness may fall to the lot of Mr. Foster and his family in their new home.". _ Xe t "We had laid on our table this morning by Mr. Ross, grain buyer, a sample of Clanson Wheat, the growth of the present season, being taken from a load" just brought to x market by My.

Archer is alive to- day is nothing short of a miracle, and that miracle was wrought largely by his own presence of mid. On Sat- urday last the Doctor received a hurry call to Centre Island. A straw stack had toppled, hurling Mr. Chris. Pettitt against a stone wall where his spine was thought to be seriously injured. The auto was quickly taken out and Dr. Archer drove at high speed to- ward the scene of the accident. As he passed the farm of Mrs. Adams he encountered some fresh gravel. He might have dodged this had it not been for some stones on the side of the road; but in trying to avoid the stones he ran into the gravel. The result was the immediate overturning of the car twice one one side of the road, and righting itself turned over again after reaching the road. The Doctor had presence of mind to crouch down behind the steering wheel and escaped with a number of bruises and a bad shaking . Mr. Wright Crosier was near when the accident occurred and after helping him from, the car, (which was very badly damaged) he offered to take the sinjured man home--but the reply was--"Take me on the Pettitt's." In spite of everything Dr. Robert Archer is going his rounds as usual, and is doing remarkably well consid- ering the terrible nature of the ac- cident which overtook him. .
