AS SECOND-CLASS MATTER SINGLE COPIESTEN CENTSVOLUME VIII NUMBER 9University RecordJANUARY, 1904COMMERCIAL EDUCATION IN EUROPE.BY DR. ERNEST L. HARRIS,*United States Consular Agent in Germany.The spirit of commercialism to which thenations of ancient times owed their greatestprosperity, and which has been the foundationof the greatness of the most prosperous peoplesof modern times, has manifested itself in amarked degree in the United States since 1898,and has exercised a notable influence upon theprogress and development of the country. Inthis connection the question of commercial education has gradually found a place in the publicmind, and faculties of commerce have beenestablished in many of our universities. Education will enhance the dignity of commerce, placeit on a surer foundation, and develop a class ofbusiness men who, in every sense of the word,will be equipped to solve the great commercial2nd economic problems which will unquestionably present themselves in the future. Theremust be a breadth of training as well as specialization, an intimate knowledge of the particularbusiness engaged in, a familiarity with theproducts dealt in from the origin of the rawmaterials to the final division of profits.The country is greatly in need of a largenumber of intelligent young men whose education has embraced a special schooling in com-1 Under the auspices of the College of Commerceand Administration Dr. Harris is giving during theWinter Quarter two courses of lectures, the second,entitled " European Commercial Methods," being in partsummarized in the present article. mercial affairs, in the broadest sense of theword. Our business schools and colleges havedone much to improve the character of theattainments of our clerks, bookkeepers, andteachers. Our manual-training schools haveeducated the hands as well as the brains ofmany thousands of our young men and women,while our higher technical schools have graduated into the skilled professions thousands ofcompetent engineers, mining experts, chemists,etc. These classes, however, have but added toour productive capacity, and have furnished nonew outlets for the surplus which they haveassisted in creating.What we need at present are commercialschools which will equal those of Germany.We want these schools to prepare young men togo out into the world to take up lucrative andimportant positions. We want them to be soprepared that they will have a distinct advantage over their rivals. When we have checkmated our foreign competitors with their ownweapons, we shall then have secured a lastingplace in the world's markets. Then, but nottill then, will our foreign commerce have beenplaced upon a solid and enduring basis.COMMERCIAL EDUCATION IN GERMANY.Nowhere in the world does commercial andtechnical education hold such a prominent placeas in Germany, and of all the states which com-259260 UNIVERSITY RECORDpose this empire, Saxony takes the lead in thisdirection. This little kingdom alone has fifty-eight commercial schools. These schools are,in the first instance, organized by the merchantunions, which exist in every little town in thecountry. The state exercises a supervising influence over each school. An inspector appointed by the government visits the schoolsperiodically. The merchant union supports theschool ; but if there is any deficit at the end ofthe year, this is made good by the state. Thebuildings, together with light and heat, arefurnished by the town authorities. In manycities of Saxony handsome buildings have beenerected for the purpose of commercial schoolsalone.In August, 1900, the Saxon government issued a decree which provided a better supervision of the commercial schools on the part ofthe chambers of commerce; and, what is ofmuch greater importance, it provided that everymerchant or manufacturer must pay one dollarfor every one thousand dollars of his incomeinto the treasury of the commercial school located in his city. This system has placed everycommercial school in Saxony on a solid financialbasis.The average salary of the director and of theteachers depends upon their age and upon thesize of the town. A director in a large city willget from $1,000 to $1,500. In smaller cities,however, the salaries range from $600 to $800per annum. All these teachers have been prepared for their work by completing either whatwe term a classical education or some thoroughcourse without the classics, in which more attention is paid to modern languages and business methods. It is the general belief that thelatter course secures greater practical resultsin these schools.Although the state regards these commercialschools with a certain benevolence, it has thusfar made no solid provision for the teachers.In every common village school throughout the German empire the teachers know just whatthey have to expect. There is a staple systemof promotion, together with a pension after somany years of service. This is not the case withteachers in the commercial schools ; and this factdoes much to retard the healthy developmentof the schools, inasmuch as it prevents manyable teachers from entering them. However,teachers in the commercial schools of Saxonyare pensioned after years of service, while inPrussia no pensions are granted.The students who attend these schools comefrom families of the middle class. They areapprenticed to merchants during their wholeattendance at school. Their ages vary fromfifteen to eighteen. The law governing the relations between master and apprentice is verystrict, and while the pupils are in attendance atschool the director takes the place of the master.A number of commercial schools in Saxonytake only students who devote their whole timeto attendance; but the majority have apprentices who spend half the time in some businesshouse. The latter plan has been found to beconducive to better results, owing to the opportunity of combining theory with practice.COMMERCIAL EDUCATION FOR GIRLS IN GERMANY.There are many reasons which have influenceddifferent chambers of commerce in Germany toorganize commercial schools for girls. The advent of women into the bureaus of merchantsand manufacturers as bookkeepers, stenographers, etc., is characteristic of the present time.There may be those in Germany who regretthat such is the case, owing to the keener competition thus created between the two sexes;but from the fact that there are more womenthan men, and that the number of unmarriedwomen is on the increase, especially in the largecities of the empire, the absolute necessity ismore evident today than ever before that theplan of employing girls in business housesshould be encouraged from a moral, as well asfrom a social, point of view. The Berlin cham-UNIVERSITY RECORD 261ber of commerce takes the ground that the betteryoung women are trained to fill such positions,the better they will be able to serve their principals, and their remuneration and social standing will be improved accordingly.This commercial educational movement forgirls in Germany is fraught with far-reachingconsequences. Berlin has set the pace, and theother cities will not be long in following suit.The same methods which have been appliedwith such remarkable success to the training ofboy apprentices in the industrial and commercialschools of the empire are now to be adopted, onthe same comprehensive, far-sighted plan, inregard to girls who may seek to better their condition in life. They will then swell the ranks ofthat trained army of experts which has accomplished more than any other one factor to makeGerman commerce and industries what they aretoday.CHAMBERS OF COMMERCE AND COMMERCIALEDUCATION IN GERMANY.There are one .hundred and forty-five chambers of commerce or similar organizations in theGerman empire. Of this number one hundredand twelve are actively engaged in promotingcommercial education. The inactivity of theothers, for the most part, is owing to the factthat they have only -been recently established,or that commercial education in their districtsis maintained by the merchant unions or bymunicipal governments. The following resumewill give a very clear idea of what commercialeducation in Germany owes to the empire'shighly organized and powerful chambers ofcommerce :i. The statistics for 1901 show that 22 chambers of commerce gave $15,652 in cash to 44commercial schools, which work entirely undertheir own management. Six chambers paidone-third of the deficits in 12 commercial schoolswith independent management; the amount isnot stated. Forty-eight chambers of commerce-voted the sum of $13,030 to 102 commercial schools, which were more or less controlled bythese chambers. Eight chambers of commercepaid part of the deficits of 18 commercialschools, which were partially under their management. Twenty-four chambers of commercegave small sums to 31 commercial schools forthe purpose of buying prizes, books, etc. Fourchambers devote $1,697 to independent lectureson commerce and industry.2. Twelve chambers of commerce give prizesin the shape of books, money, stipends, etc. ; in24 the members take part in the examinations ;in 6 chambers of commerce districts the secretary of the chamber makes tours of inspectionamong the schools ; 63 chambers have memberson the school board of directors; 8 have arranged lectures for clerks and others holdingminor positions in business houses ; 3 have arranged for teachers' conferences; one has appointed a commission to examine all importantschool subjects, and another has established anindustrial exhibition.The preceding sketch of the work of German chambers of commerce along the line ofcommercial education cannot be looked upon asexhausting the subject. German merchantsand manufacturers assert that they are just "beginning to take an interest in the matter of edu-* cation. For example, 8 chambers of commerceare at present busy with reorganizing and extending the commercial schools in their districts ; 13 are agitating in favor of such schools ;7 are working to secure obligatory attendancefor their schools ; 6 have declared their willingness to give pecuniary assistance to the schoolsin their districts, if certain conditions are complied with; 6 are contemplating assuming themanagement of the schools in their districts;and several wish to appoint directors at thechamber's expense, introduce lectures, establishlibraries, and grant prizes.It will be seen, therefore, that Germany paysalmost as much attention to trade education asshe does to any other branch of instruction, and262 UNIVERSITY RECORDthe methods adopted might be taken up withadvantage in the United States by our chambers of commerce and other commercial organizations. What the different nations produce,what they import and export, political economy,German, Spanish, French, and the details ofcommerce and industry, should be known toevery progressive manufacturer, merchant, and- business man.COMMERCIAL EDUCATION IN OTHER COUNTRIES OF EUROPE.SWITZERLAND.The first commercial school in Switzerlandwas established in 1855, in Zurich, in connection with the cantonal school of that city. In1856 a similar one was founded in St. Gall,and another in Berne during 1857. In 1900there were seven commercial schools which received government subventions — namely Berne,Chaux-de-Fonds, Geneva, Nauenburg, Solo-thurn, Winterthur, and Lucerne. These schoolsare attended annually by about five hundredpupils. The assistance given by the stateamounts to $12,000 a year, $1,000 of which is instipends. It is to be expected that these schoolswill shortly be extended to all other cities ofimportance in the country. Switzerland, inpoint of population, industries, and commerce,may be favorably compared with the kingdomof Saxony. This little kingdom, however,stands in the front rank of nations as far ascommercial education is concerned, having 58finely organized commercial schools.AUSTRIA-HUNGARY.A law exists in Hungary which says thatwhere there are fifty apprentices in any onecommunity, instruction in commercial subjectsmust be provided. The course of instructionmust be maintained, even if the number of pupils should at any time fall below fifty, provided there is a prospect of regaining thisstandard. The time spent by an apprentice inHungary in learning his trade is three years, as in most other countries. During the year theremust be at least ten months of uninterruptedinstruction. The months of July and Augustconstitute the vacation period; other vacationdays are: Christmas, from December 20 toJanuary 2 ; Easter, one week ; and Whitsuntide,two days. The birthdays of the emperor andempress, as well as of a number of other personages, are also kept as holidays.As soon as a child is registered as an apprentice, it is the duty of the master to send him toone of the apprentice trade or commercialclasses. Apprentices are compelled by law toattend the public school every day until theage of twelve has been reached. There is a law,however, which prevents a child under twelveyears of age from becoming an apprentice ; buta great many children become such by specialpermission of the municipal authorities. Apprentices must have completed the public-schoolcourse by twelve years of age, must have aknowledge of arithmetic, and must be able toread and write readily. In exceptional cases,where an apprentice has not completed a public-school course, the director of the school mayadmit him as a pupil if he can read and writesufficiently. In towns where no commercialschools exist, apprentices after twelve years ofage are compelled to attend advanced classes inthe public schools; they must attend schoolduring the entire time of their apprenticeship.The commercial schools or classes usuallyoccupy rooms in the public schools. The public-school teachers are employed, more or less, togive instruction. In schools where independentteachers are employed the positions are for life.Teachers from the public schools are, in mostcases, only temporarily selected. -^BELGIUM.There are several institutions in Belgium inwhich only commercial branches are taught.The Higher Commercial Institute in Antwerp,which may be placed in this class, was foundedUNIVERSITY RECORD 263in 1852 by the joint efforts of the governmentand the municipal authorities. Pupils who havecompleted the higher public schools are admitted without examination. The course of instruction occupies two years, at the end of whichtime each pupil receives a diploma. The number of pupils averages about three hundred, onlyone-half of whom are natives of Belgium. Afterthe course has been completed, young Belgianswho have shown special aptitude in their studiesmay become candidates for a stipend granted bythe government, which will enable them to reside for. a short time in some foreign countryto fit themselves more thoroughly for activebusiness.A comparison of what the different countriesare doing for commercial education, as described in the foregoing, brings out pre-eminently the practice of the Institute of Commercein Antwerp. Students who have passed theirfinal examinations with credit are entitled tooffer themselves as candidates for a stipend,which permits them to remain for three yearsin some foreign country for the purpose ofstudying economic conditions and acquiring apractical knowledge of business. All that isrequired of them, as far as the government isconcerned, is to report from time to time onthe results of their observations. About seventy students have thus far been able to takeadvantage of this exceptional privilege. Thestipend consists of $1,000 a year. These youngmen have gone out, in the interests of Belgium'scommerce, to Brazil, China, Japan, Mexico,the Philippine Islands, Australia, New Zealand,India, the United States, and Canada. Somethirty of them have made permanent homes inthe countries to which they were sent. Somehave become merchants, others commercialagents, and not a few are in the service of theJapanese and Chinese governments as educators.To Belgium, however, they remain the pioneersof commerce, and the money thus expendeddraws ample interest. The far-reaching resultsachieved prove the wisdom of the policy. RUSSIA.Commercial schools in Russia are founded bythe state wherever they are thought to be necessary. The initiative is always taken by commercial organizations — that is, chambers ofcommerce and similar bodies — the members ofwhich have previously appointed a committeewhich has thoroughly examined the question.After definite information has been obtained inregard to the demand for a school, the numberof prospective students, financial contributions,etc., the government is petitioned to grant alicense and to make good any annual deficitwhich may occur. The government, however,never goes beyond granting 25 per cent, of theactual expenses of any commercial school. Thefunds for maintaining these schools must come,in the first instance, from the merchants andcommercial bodies in the city where the schoolis located. Russian commercial schools arestate institutions, and are under the control ofthe minister of finance. The empire is dividedinto districts, each of which has an inspectorwho works hand in hand with the director ofeach school. There are forty-three commercialschools in the Russian empire under the controlof the state, and twenty private schools, similarly organized, with state supervision.The commercial school at Tiflis is a very goodexample of the schools in the Russian empire.Russian merchants and manufacturers are aliveto the fact that these institutions will be ofincalculable value in the development of theenormous material resources of their country.The Russian chambers of commerce are following the example of Germany, and are establishing these institutions wherever the needs andresources of a community will admit of it. Thesigns of the times are distinctly of commercialeducation, and the extension of these schoolsthroughout Russia will give many object-lessonsto other nations which are interested in thiskind of education.264 UNIVERSITY RECORDINDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS IN GERMANY.SAXONY.There are 287 industrial schools in Saxony.The population of the kingdom is 4,202,216, orone industrial school to every 14,641 people.The schools are divided into the followingclasses :1. Advanced industrial schools.2. Special industrial schools.3. Industrial schools for drawing and painting.4. Industrial schools for women, girls, andchildren.5. Industrial primary or continuation schools.WURTTEMBERG.There are schools in Stuttgart, Pforzheim,and vicinity for jewelry, musical instruments,and weaving. Many of them have well-equippedlibraries. Heidesheim has a weaver's school.Such villages as Laichingen and Sindelfingen —names very little known outside of Wxirttem-berg — have schools for the linen industry. InRottenburg there is a school for wood-carvers ;in Geislingen, a school for engravers ; in Rott-weil, one for ivory-carving; while Gmund,Heilbronn, and Bieberach have schools for thecheap gold- and silver-plated ware industriesin those localities.The government of Wiirttemberg has donemuch to introduce and support new industriesin certain parts of the country where old industries have died out. Some years ago, for example, the Royal Bureau of Commerce andTrade in Stuttgart decided to give financialassistance to the linen district of Alb, which hadgreatly suffered from Irish competition. Thesame was done with the handkerchief houseindustries in the district of Westerheim. It isthe duty of this Bureau of Commerce and Tradeto keep in close touch with all the industrialschools in Wiirttemberg. It is an institutionwhich collects all sorts of data in regard to theneeds of these schools and makes proposals concerning the establishment of new ones. BADEN.Industrial education in Baden is far advanced.There is a school in almost every city and village between Heidelberg and the Lake of Constance. Fully 20,000 apprentices are learninghow to make clocks and cotton, woolen and silkgoods. Aside from the technical university inKarlsruhe, there is an industrial art schoolwhich is attended by pupils from every part ofBaden, and these represent almost every tradein the country. In connection with the schoolsthere are workshops in which the young potter,.painter, engraver, wood-carver, lithographer,locksmith, blacksmith, cabinet-maker, etc., isgetting all the practical knowledge necessary;so that at the end of three years he is masterof some particular trade, not merely in name,but in reality.HESSEN.Hessen can boast of the fact that there is nota single village, no matter how small, in thewhole country which has not an industrialschool of some kind. They are all under thedirection of the minister of the interior. Workshops for actual practice are connected withmost of the schools.BAVARIA.Bavaria is also well equipped with industrialschools. In connection with most of the coursesthere are classes for instruction in arithmetic,geometry, German, history, geography, physics,and chemistry. There are special industrialschools for the weaving industry in Passau,Munchberg, and Lambrecht. The last-mentioned school has an especially good reputation. It is intended not only for the clothindustry, but for linen, flannel, cotton goods,and carpet-weaving. The manufacturers are ina position to obtain the most reliable informationand statistics in regard to their branch of industry at any time.The industrial schools in Germany, takingthe empire as a whole, cover the followingUNIVERSITY RECORD 265trades and industries : weaving, spinning, dyeing, finishing, cabinet-making, basket-making,metal, zinc, jewelry, lace, mechanics, porcelain,engravers, printing, blacksmiths, architects,shipbuilding, wood-carving, masonry, paper,bronze, goldsmith, ivory-carving, dress-trimmings, brushes, shoemaking, lithographers,firemen, locksmiths, iron, fisheries, sculpture,clock-making, sugar, tin, glass, silk, curtains,potters, straw-weaving, musical instruments,machine technology, carpenters, and painters.INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION IN OTHER COUNTRIES OF EUROPE.ITALY.Technical education in Italy during the pastfew years has made rapid and praiseworthyprogress. As long ago as 1880 the governmentappointed a commission to study thoroughlythis question in all its details. The report ofthe commission was to the effect that Italy'sfuture as a manufacturing country dependedupon the intelligence and skill of her workingclasses, and that nothing could more effectivelyfurther the interests of the country in a nationalsense, or raise the general condition of thepeople, than a broad and liberal support ofindustrial education on the part of the state.There is, perhaps, no country in the worldwhich has more extended house industries thanItaly. The silk industry, the manufacture ofhemp and tow, the twisting of baskets, and thebraiding of straw hats, for example, furnishemployment to many thousands of people intheir own homes. These industries, like similarones in Germany and Bohemia, have taken deeproot among the peasant classes of Italy. Thegovernment, in preparing its scheme of industrial education, had to consider the interests ofthe house industries to a very marked degree.There is no question but that a well-developedhouse industry, especially in such a country asItaly, has many praiseworthy features, and froma politico-economical point of view is a questionof vast importance. Unlike Germany, Italy has succeeded in preventing a wholesale emigrationfrom the rural districts to the large cities. Thesurplus population has gone to the UnitedStates, Brazil, and Argentina. Not only havethe products of the Italian soil during the pasttwenty years been increased, but the large emigration to foreign countries has, on the whole,produced but little effect. It is therefore evidentthat the Italian government has a deep interestin fostering house industries side by side withthe agricultural interests of the country in localities where it is practicable; and any plan ofindustrial education which is intended for thegood of the manufacturers at large must reachthe class which labors a part of the time in theirown homes, as well as the class which labors allthe time in the factories of the large cities.Having the combined industrial and agricultural interests of the country in view, theItalian government during the past twenty yearshas gradually established a system of industrialschools which today extends all over the country ; and an industrial school is to be found inevery village which can boast of having anindustry of any kind. They receive subventionsfrom the state, and are under the control andsupervision of the minister for agriculture andcommerce.HOLLAND.The industrial school in Holland educatesskilful and practical workmen for the differenttrades, such as cabinet-makers, blacksmiths, carpenters, etc. One of the best schools of thiskind is the Ambacht school in Rotterdam. Inthe elementary department instruction is givenin reading, writing, arithmetic, history of theNetherlands, and geography. The workshopsconnected with the school are better equipped,perhaps, than any other of this class in Europe.In the practical workroom the pupils are placedin classes which are cognate with one another;as, for example, under the head of carpentersare classed all those whose trade has to do withwoodwork, such as wagon-makers, coopers,266 UNIVERSITY RECORDcabinet-makers, etc. The workshops have beendeveloped to such an extent that in the metal-working branch, for example, engines driven bysteam and electricity have been set up whereverpracticable. The school authorities are permitted by the state to purchase, for the use ofstudents in the workshops, the necessary wood,iron, steel, nails, stone, copper, metals, colors,coal, glass, etc. The products manufactured bythe students are then sold wherever practicablefor building purposes, etc. A great many toolsfor the hand trades are manufactured everyyear.RUSSIA.Much has been done for technical educationin Russia. At different periods throughout thenineteenth century technical schools with advanced curricula were founded in Moscow, St.Petersburg, Helsingfors, Riga, and other citiesof the empire. Industrial schools, however, forapprentices — such as exist in Saxony, for example — are but little developed in Russia. Thesame is true of technical education on such anelevated plane as that taught in the German universities of Charlottenburg, Darmstadt, Dresden, etc. The want of such training in Russiais becoming more evident every day, especiallvat a time when the state is exerting every effortto extend the railways in different parts of theempire, when electric railways are being plannedand built in many cities, and when mines arebeing exploited at a rapid rate. Russian students compose a very large percentage of theforeigners matriculated in the German technicaluniversities.Instruction, however, in the class of schoolsabove mentioned is thorough, and in no country,with the exception of Holland and Germany, isthe system of practical demonstration betterdeveloped than in Russia. The schools, for themost part, wherever practicable at least, are connected with large factories, where the studentreceives wages for the work actually performed,the same as does a common laborer. During the hours devoted to such practical instructionthe student assists in manufacturing motors,pumps, boilers, tools, etc. In many factories itis the custom to permit the student to act temporarily as foreman or manager of some particular department or branch of manufactureafter he has passed through the prescribedcourse of theoretical and practical training.There are two classes of students in the technical school at Moscow. The first class consistsof those who have completed the courses taughtin the ordinary public school. A great manybelong to the latter class who have only a scantknowledge of reading, writing, and arithmetic.The students of the second class must attend asort of preparatory school for three years, inconnection with practical work in factories, before they are permitted to enter the first class ofthe technical institute, which is chiefly devotedto theoretical instruction. The pupils of thefirst class, however, are permitted to attend atwill the practical instruction given to the members of the second class.The tendency in Russia at present is to establish middle-classed industrial schools with workrooms where apprentices may learn such tradesas that of blacksmith, locksmith, cooper, carpenter, cabinet-maker, etc. It will then be possible, for those who so desire, to enter the firstclass of the technical institute. The need of primary industrial schools in Russia is evidentwhen we take into consideration the fact thatfully 8,000,000 people are in some measureengaged during the year in the widely diversified house industries of the country, which inextent and importance are second only to thoseof Italy.SWEDEN AND NORWAY.House industries have taken deep root inSweden and Norway. The topography of thecountry, the climate, and the conditions surrounding agriculture in general have produceda state of affairs favorable to such industries.UNIVERSITY RECORD 267The people who live in the sparsely settledmountain districts, where railroads have not asyet penetrated, spend the long winter eveningsin making homespun cloths and in dressinghides and skins.Industrial education in Sweden and Norwayis chiefly connected with the public-school system of the two countries, and there is scarcely atown, large or small, which is not supplied inthis respect. In many of the country districtsevening classes have been arranged for thepurpose of giving instruction to young men andwomen in sewing, spinning, and weaving. Ina number of cities elementary technical schoolshave been founded which prepare students toenter the Royal Technical Institutes in Stockholm and Gothenburg. The elementary schoolin Boras is intended especially for weavers, andhas a workshop fitted up for practical instruction. The evening preparatory school in Eskils-tuna trains young men to work with iron andsteel, while those in Filipstad and Falun arepreparatory schools of mining.SWITZERLAND.The industrial schools of Switzerland haveleft their stamp upon the industries of thecountry, and have materially assisted in placingSwiss manufacturers in a position to competewith the makers of laces, ribbon, cottons, silks,watches, and clocks of other European countries. There are industrial schools for clock-and watch-making in Geneva, Locle, Chaux-de-Fonds, etc. There are art and industrial working schools in Zurich and other cities forwomen, and there are industrial schools for thehand trades in most of the cities and towns ofthe country. The subjects taught in theseschools are drawing, arithmetic, geography,bookkeeping, German, French, and practicalinstruction in the trade chosen by the pupil.AUSTRIA.In Austria the average industrial school issupported by the state, but the local authorities and private individuals in most cases furnish theschoolrooms with light and heat. The schoolsare under the immediate control of a schoolcommittee, the members of which reside in thecommunity. This committee, however, acts inharmony with the wishes of the minister ofcommerce, who reserves to himself the right ofconfirming the appointment of the various directors and of directing the educational policiesof the schools in general.FRANCE.In all the industrial schools of France greatstress is laid upon practical instruction in workshops. These workshops or laboratories, as thecase may be, are the counterparts of machineshops and factories ; so that the pupil on leavingthe school may enter the ranks of the industrialarmy of France trained and ready for activework in the various branches of industry.COMMERCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL EDUCATIONIN ENGLAND.The reason that commercial education hasteceived but little attention in England till nowis because the people have a highly developedinstinct for trade. Then, again, the geographical position of the country, together witha combination of circumstances, has greatly assisted England to become the first commercialnation in the world. In Germany, France,Austria, and other nations of Europe the unfavorable geographical position and adverse circumstances have awakened the people of thosecountries to a realization of the fact that it isonly a superior educational training that willput the merchants and manufacturers in a position to compete with those of England.One result of the neglect of commercial education in England is the inability of Englishcommercial travelers and agents to representproperly the trade interests of their country.As a rule, these vital interests are in the handsof foreigners who have received special commercial training in some one of the many excel-268 UNIVERSITY RECORDlent commercial schools on the continent. Itwould be difficult to estimate how many youngGermans are managing the correspondence inlarge English business houses. A good percentage of this number, however, after theyhave learned the English language, and as muchabout the industry or business of their employeras possible, find their way back to Germanyagain, where they exert themselves to furtherthe commercial and industrial interests of theirnative country. The advent of Germany uponthe scene as one of her keenest competitors hascaused some anxiety in England ; and the causewhich has brought about this result is now generally and correctly conceded to be the superiortechnical and commercial training accorded tothe German youth.Advanced technical education in England hasbeen neglected. Leading English statesmen,however, have always been more or less awareof their country's deficiency in this respect. Aslong ago as 1865 the government requested herdiplomatic representatives to prepare papers on the subject of technical education in foreigncountries. Some speeches were made in Parliament on the subject, and a resolution was passedfavoring the establishment of a technical university at government expense; but nothingcame of it. Up to date England has been without an institution of this kind. The technicalcourses given in Kensington, Leeds, Glasgow,Belfast, Galway, etc., in no wise make good thisglaring deficiency; and it was only recentlydecided to establish in London a polytechnicummodeled after the one in Charlottenburg,Germany.Much is being done in England, however, forprimary education. The annual governmentexpenditure for this purpose amounts to $4,000,-000, and this sum is greatly increased by theyearly donations of the ancient guilds of thecity of London and by donations from othersources. The youth of London and of otherlarge cities and industrial centers may receivetechnical education today in almost any knowntrade or industry.UNIVERSITY RECORD 269MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR THE STUDENTS OF THE UNIVERSITY WHO DIED IN THEIROQUOIS THEATER FIRE.*MEMORIAL SERVICE.The President of the University, Presiding.i.

From Ripon he went to Racine, andfrom Racine to Whiting, Ind., where his lastpastorate ended.To those who knew him as their pastor andfellow-citizen he stood for decided, though notantagonistic, participation in all duties of goodcitizenship; for frank, open-minded, and ableexposition of civic and church polity ; for physical strength and mental ability that made thoseclustered about him feel more secure; for aremarkable fortitude, hope, and moral steadfastness in the things " that try men's souls " ;for a beautiful devotion to his pastoral dutiesthat makes the verified report of his having beenfound in death with a little girl in either arm,whom he had tried to save, an appropriate sealupon his life-work and a beautiful memory ofhis character.To speak as a fellow-student and close friend,I would leave with you this message: Mr.Richardson was one whom it was good to know.To meet him, though only to say " good morning," made life seem a little less impersonal ; toknow him lessened that feeling of isolation andnamelessness that too much haunts life in greatcongested centers, and is reflected even in ourown college community ; to have his friendshipwarmed the heart and made all men seem moreakin.In his work he was always glad, and if sometimes he grew tired, the presence or the wishof a friend was not the signal for a sigh, butthe chance for the cheerfulness of his heart toflow naturally out: in his thought there was270 UNIVERSITY RECORDan optimistic vigor and a sweet reasonablenessthat at once put him on terms of frank honestywith teacher and fellow-student ; in his desiresand pleasures there was a wholesomeness thatcharmed his associates and reflected itself in hisvery personality.To have met him, to have known him, and tohave felt his friendship is the more surely to bekept from things that are little and mean andhurtful, and to be saved unto things that arelarge and good and helpful ; to have caught thespirit of his work, to have entered into histhought, and to have shared his pleasures is tolive better and to help others to live better.WALTER BRUNO ZEISLER.BY LEO FALK WORMSER.Almost a fortnight has passed since the grimhand of death spread its gloom over our community. With silences and services we havemade brave effort to put out of sight our loss.And still we linger at the graves.We say we will forget, in order that we maygo forth to our tasks and accomplish them;but we now feel that our incentive to lofty purpose and to generous deed must come, not byforgetting, but by remembering. Not by casting into oblivion, but by recalling to memoryour friend, must we seek the attainment of endsworthy of his respected past and his promisingfuture.It is in this spirit that we pause again toremember Walter Zeisler. You and I, whoknew him, need no picture. There he stands,with his beaming aspect that was never dimmed,his ever-outstretched, welcoming hand, his finepresence that betrayed repose and yet energy,calmness and yet determination. His greetingdiffered from the common bow, in that it betokened an interest and a sympathy and a sincerity that were his alone to possess and hiswith which to inspire all who met him. Itcould not have been otherwise, for behind it all was the frendship of the friend, so warm, sotrue.In a gathering his presence piqued others toa purpose. His activity was contagious. Hisfriendship engaged us to new aims and newideals. We fed on his accomplishments, refreshed ourselves by his conversation, and exulted in the depth of his nature. Where he was,there were purity and fellowship, sincerity andfeeling, brilliancy and intellect — all in one.Such noble embodiment of human nature,such manly qualities, can be founded only uponthe purest traits of character. As the forms onthe artist's canvas acquire their charms from atrue background, as the melodies of music areproducts of the " motif "— so, in Walter Zeisler,these characteristics were founded on a loftyconception of duty and a passionate loyalty totruth.If burdened with the formulae that had perplexed a Cavendish or a Faraday, he wouldlabor with more intense earnestness and withfirmer resolution because of this burning desirefor the truth. If musing over Plato and Homerhe sometimes wearied of his task, he soon gainednew strength from his lofty ideal of duty." So nigh is grandeur to our dust,So near is God to man,When duty whispers low, ' Thou must/ -The youth replies, ' I can.' "These are the sources which endowed WalterZeisler with his rare intellect and accurate mind,which enabled him to attain the highest honorsof scholarship, which endear him to his friendsand insure him an enduring place of most esteemed respect in this, his and our, University.He died in manhood's morning, yet by theradiance of that forenoon there has been diffused an influence far in excess of his numbered years.Truly, not by forgetting, but by remembering,Walter Zeisler must we seek courage and inspiration. What has departed but is still present, what has died but still lives, is the form olUNIVERSITY RECORD 271noble manhood, the true friend, the brilliantstudent, the exemplar of sincere fellowship, theconstant adherent to duty, the earnest seeker fortruth.FREDERICK WILLIAM LEATON.BY PERRY IRWIN TUSSING.Events that occur regularly and frequently inour lives fail to excite our attention. To thisthere is one great exception — death. Althoughmankind has felt its visitations from the beginning, each recurrence is marked with sorrowand heartache. Yet there are extenuating circumstances. When death is preceded by lingering illness and long suffering, or when theone we lay away has passed the full allotmentof years, we sometimes say it is best or evenbeautiful. But when it comes without warning,striking down those with whom we have walkedand talked only a short time before, we do noteven sorow, we are bruised and benumbed, andtears come only after a lapse of time.Only a short time ago we bade each othergood-bye for the holiday vacation, and the musicof the " Merry Christmas" said had a gladsome ring; but when the boys came troopingback again, the " Happy New Year " was tonedin a minor key, for one of our brightest and besthad passed away.Frederick William Leaton was one of nature'strue noblemen. His was a retiring disposition,not like the daisy that nods by the wayside, butrather like the violet in the wood, which mustbe sought, but when once found it is of wondrous beauty and sweetness.He was a perfect specimen of physical manhood. When a group of his classmates werediscussing the possibility of escape from thefatal balcony, one summed it up by saying : " IfLeaton could not make his escape, there wasnot much chance for anyone else."At the time of his death he lacked a few daysof being twenty-five years of age. He received his early education in the public schools ofSouth Dakota, studied in the University ofMichigan, and came to us in 1902, registeringas a medical student, being at the time of hisdeath a member of the Sophomore class. Hewas an indefatigable worker, and an examination of his record showed his work to be uniformly excellent.The keynote of his conduct seemed to be self-denial and self-sacrifice — the Christ-like spiritof service. Not waiting for special occasions,but in the laboratory, in the class-room and thehalls, he was ever doing those little things thatgo toward making companionship a joy. Hewas ever willing and ready to lend the helpinghand, ever willing that others should take precedence. On one occasion, when a task was tobe performed by twos, Leaton and his partnerdid their work so well that it was used as amodel by the remainder of the section; andwhen Leaton was congratulated for his work,he insisted it was to his partner the excellencyof the work was due. It is a significant factthat, when his body was found, his overcoatwas found upon it. We who knew him bestsaw in this another example of that same spiritof self-sacrifice. He had denied himself thatothers might reach safety, until too late. Hehad given his life that others might live.The estimation of Leaton as a man may bestated in two remarks made to the speaker thismorning. Speaking of the coming memorialexercises one said: "When we speak of menafter they are dead, we forget their vices andextol their virtues; but in speaking of Mr.Leaton you will have nothing to forget." Another remarked with much feeling: "Well, ifany of the class must be taken, he was best prepared to go."It is sometimes difficult to understand whythose who are fittest to survive are so oftentaken from us ; but if men's lives are not measured by the span of years, but by deeds and272 UNIVERSITY RECORDinfluence for good, then we understand. Wefeel that a great heart has gone from us into thetomb. His short life has not been in vain. Weare better for having known him. He still livesin our hearts.ADDRESS IN HONOR OF UNIVERSITY COLLEGESTUDENTS.BY WILLIAM D. MACCLINTOCK,Dean of the College.The University had the signal misfortune tolose six students who were active teachers in thepublic schools of Chicago. These were all students at University College and had honorablepositions on its rolls. Ours is a part of thatterrible loss the city has sustained in the deathof forty of its noble army of teachers. TheUniversity is proud to have had so many ofthem as its students, to have brought trainingand inspiration to them and, through them, tomany of the city's children.The fact that they were active students whilefulfilling the absorbing duty of teachers meansthat they were of that class of teachers especiallyinterested in their professional advancement,anxious for more training, intent on satisfyingthe tests for professional promotions, and willingto sacrifice precious strength and means in orderto do it. No class of University students deserves more praise and sympathy than this;none more directly brings the light of knowledge to the great mass of the people ; none moresensitively appreciates the value of their University connection. The teachers, more than otherclasses, keep the University ideals of the pursuit of truth and the blessings of sound mentaldiscipline always before the young people whoare later to come to us. Nor can words expressthe valuable reaction upon our University lifeand teaching of the presence among its studentsfrom the beginning of so many teachers, whohave brought to it elevation of mind and purpose, wide experience in actual living, and direct, organic use for the knowledge they weresecuring. The following is the list of University College students who perished, with brief notes oftheir University residence:Miss Gertrude Rosetta Falkenstein, agedtwenty-nine, a graduate of the South DivisionHigh School, Chicago, matriculated at the University October I, 1900, and had taken work inUniversity College.Miss Melissa J. Crocker, aged forty-eight,matriculated at the University in October, 1902,and took work in library science at UniversityCollege.Miss Edith Dickie, aged twenty-seven, graduated from the Englewood High School, Chicago, in 1894, and also took a course in theCook County Normal School. She had been amember of several University Extension classesand matriculated in the School of Education,June, 1902, pursuing pedagogical courses during the Summer Quarter.Mrs. Minnie Pearl Mills, aged thirty-three,a graduate of the Muskegon (Mich.) HighSchool, matriculated at the University November 10, 1900, and had taken work since that timein University College. She was the wife ofWard Magoon Mills, who received the degreeof Bachelor of Science from the University,June 18, 1 90 1, since which time he has been aninstructor at the Armour Institute of Technology and at the South Division High School.Miss Daisy E. Livingstone, a University College student, aged twenty-five, was a graduateof the Hyde Park High School, Chicago, andmatriculated at the University October 1, 1898.In connection with her work as a teacher, shehad taken courses irregularly at the Universitysince 1898, and had twenty majors of credittoward the Bachelor's degree.Miss Phoebe Irene Fort, a graduate of Cornell University in the class of '81 and principalof the Myra Bradley School in Windsor Park,matriculated at the University October 2, 1900,and had taken work in University College.UNIVERSITY RECORD 273At a memorial service in honor of Miss Fort,held in Windsor Park, Chicago, Sunday afternoon, January n, an appreciation of her character and achievements was pronounced byProfessor Ella Flagg Young, of the School ofEducation, in whose classes at University College Miss Fort had been for three years a mosthighly honored student.CLOSING ADDRESS.BY CHARLES RICHMOND HENDERSON,University Chaplain.The words of deserved praise strike upon thechords which stretch from our hearts to thenew-made graves, and they vibrate in sympathyand sorrow. The deeper sense of their valuemakes this world seem to have lost a part of itsattractions. Nothing but some lofty idea andsustaining truth can support our sinking hearts.The sense of universality comes over us, andthe transitory and fragmentary fail to satisfyour hearts or reason. Night has fallen uponus, but it is the night which reveals the countlessworlds to which by day we were blind.In the atmosphere of the University we understand with entire clearness the differencebetween the evidence used in the nature sciencesand that on which our faith rests, and by whichwe assure ourselves of spiritual reality and themeaning of life. We all feel the burden ofdoubts and the limitations of mortal powers.Hence we are readily inclined to avoid dogmatism and shun with horror the condemnation of those who cannot yet share our vision of thingseternal. Ourselves compassed about with theinfirmities of reason, we are disposed to charity,patience, and tolerance. Yet all the more arewe free and unconstrained to speak freely andopenly of those convictions which seem to berational grounds of hope even in these darkesthours of earthly trial. Imperfect and tentativeas all formulations of belief about such mattersmust be, they are all we have, and to suppressthem were disloyalty to friendship.We believe in duty. The moral task remains,and over that death has no power. The workthese noble souls planned ought to be accomplished. As we move forward on the earthlylevel, they whom unbelief names dead serve thatimperative in a higher world. This moral imperative implies a universal right and goodness.It is not subject to our wills. It is not provincial and local.We believe in redemption, in divine help andgrace. We are not left orphans in a soulless,material universe. We are led by the Spirit, andare not ignorant squadrons fighting namelessterrors in the dark. Over against sickness andpain is the healing art, and near to all misery isuniversal pity. It is reasonable to think thatthe source of pity is pitiful, the origin of humankindness is infinitely kind. We cast ourselveson the heart of Him who cannot betray our confidence nor dash our prayers. We move forward with loved and honored ones departed, notinto the darkness, but into a more radiant world.274 UNIVERSITY RECORDTHE REPORT OF THE PRESIDEFOR THE AUTUMNFor the information of those who may notbe fully acquainted with the aim and scope ofthe Christian Union, the explanation prefacedto a former report is here repeated, namely ,_that the Christian Union of the Universityof Chicago embraces the various organizationsexisting within the University for religiouswork.

Henderson,Chaplain.REPORT OF THE YOUNG MEN'S CHRIST/ AN ASSOCIATION.The work of the Young Men's Christian Association consists of its Bible and mission study,its religious meetings, and its social and philanthropic activities.The Bible study may be spoken of first. It isperfectly well known that there exists at theUniversity of Chicago a peculiar and uniqueatmosphere, an intellectual atmosphere of investigation and freedom. The moment the student arrives on the campus he is urged to thinkUNIVERSITY RECORD 275for himself, to look for new facts, to questionprevious conclusions, to take nothing forgranted, to refuse to accept a thing simply because it has been long taught and believed.What truth he holds must be of his own finding ;what beliefs he adheres to must come from hisown observation. It is evident that any effortat the study of the Bible must take into accountthis atmosphere.How the Association makes this effort maybest be set forth concretely. A little group ofmen, from six to eight in number, come togetherfor the study of the four gospel records of thelife of Christ. The text employed is Stevensand Burton's Harmony of the Gospels, which,by arranging the four records in parallel columns and in chronological order, affords a basisfor the systematic study of the events of the lifein their historical setting. In addition a printedoutline in book form is used which divides thematerial of the Harmony into thirty consecutivestudies. One study taken up each week is divided into daily work ; so that the student follows throughout the college year a progressive,comprehensive, and cumulative study in the lifeof Jesus. This is the kind of Bible study theYoung Men's Christian Association is actuallydoing. The Association has enrolled during thepast autumn one hundred men in fourteenclasses for this kind of study. Ninety-one of theone hundred have throughout the Quarter adhered steadily to the task. The student leadersof these groups or classes are themselves trainedto efficiency in a normal class of twenty- twomembers, taught by Professor E. D. Burton, ofthe Divinity School. At a banquet given for theBible study department at the Commons, December 2, over fifty men were present. Theone end of the Association in Bible study is soto stimulate and nourish the highest life of thestudent that his moral and spiritual nature becomes dominant, and the evolution of a broad,symmetrical, clean, purposeful manhood is begun and hastened. The mission study of the Association hasbeen conducted during the Autumn Quarter intwo classes, with a total enrolment of twenty-seven men. One, held jointly with the WomenStudents' Christian League, has followed acareful study of the needs of India. The other,consisting of nine men, has turned its attentiontoward Africa. The fundamental object of mission and Bible study is the same.The religious meetings of the Associationhave been held during the Autumn Quarter insections, with a total average attendance ofabout fifty. Rev. William P. Merrill, of theSixth Presbyterian Church of Chicago; Rev.Coburn, of the St. James Methodist EpiscopalChurch; Professors Mathews, Barnes, Burton,and Willett, of the University, are among thosewho delivered addresses.The social life of the Association is greatlypromoted by its management of Snell Hall,where it has its club-room, parlor, office for thedepartment secretary, and committee rooms.Inasmuch as about two-thirds of the men inSnell are members of the Association and one-half of them are in Bible or misson studyclasses, the social life of the hall is delightfullycongenial. The games in the club-room are inconstant use, and at least forty or fifty men stepin each day for a few moments of diversion.The most important social functions held duringthe Autumn Quarter were the opening receptionfor men, and the reception for new studentsgiven jointly with the League, at which overfive hundred men and women were present.In addition to the activities already mentioned, the Association has done practical philanthropic work at the University Settlement.It has supplied leaders for gymnasium classes,library attendants, etc. It is a fact worthy ofmention that with a membership of 135 no fewerthan 115 Association men are engaged in definite activity. A new section has been recentlyorganized at the University High School, witha membership of twenty-three.276 UNIVERSITY RECORDThe Association purposes next Quarter to increase the number of its Bible students fromioo to 150, and of its mission students from 27to 55. For its religious meetings it has alreadysecured Dr. W. S. Hall, of Northwestern Medical College, to give three addresses on subjectsof vital interest to college men.Ralph Merriam,Department Secretary.REPORT OF THE WOMEN STUDENTS' CHRISTIAN LEAGUE.Preparations for the Women Students' Christian League, for the Autumn Quarter, began inAugust, when the president, the general secretary, and two other delegates met at the YoungWomen's Christian Association Conference, atLake Geneva, to receive suggestions and inspiration from the national leaders, and to counsel together about the work of the fall campaign.Subsequently the young women wrote onehundred and fifty letters of welcome to prospective freshmen, and during the opening daysof the University a general hospitality committee was in readiness to meet trains, to directvoung women to homelike boarding places,which had been investigated by house-to-housevisitation, to guide new students through themaze of registration difficulties, and to invitethem to spend their first, and otherwise lonesome, Saturday evening at a party to be held intheir honor. In spite of a heavy thunderstorm,over one hundred assembled at the "FreshmanFrolic," and the following Saturday evening,jointly with the Young Men's Christian Association, a reception was given to eight hundrednew students.At Thanksgiving time a jolly evening, called"A Day in School," was arranged for the students who could not go home, and in Decemberevery girl in the University was invited to aChristmas party.The first service to be held in Mandel Hallwas the opening meeting of the three days' BibleConference, conducted by the Young Men's Christian Association and the Women Students'Christian League conjointly. The direct resultof the strong addresses given by Dr. C. CuthbertHall and Dr. George L. Robinson was the doubling of the attendance of the 8:30 Sundaymorning Bible classes of President Harper andProfessor Mathews ; and also a more generalknowledge of the plan and scope of the Biblecircles which meet weekly under student leaders.The League has started five such groups, twoin the halls Sunday evenings, and three on Monday and Tuesday afternoons in the Leagueroom, and has planned one neighborhood evening class. No work of the League can meanmore than this to the individual lives of themembers.In response to a number of requests for aninformal Sunday afternoon service, an openBible class is to be conducted in the Leagueroom Sundays at 4 o'clock. Miss Myra Reynolds has consented to superintend such a class.The new room in Lexington Hall, with itstasteful furnishings, has become a welcomeresting-place and a center of League activities.As the expense of furnishing the room has beenheavy and the finance budget for the year is noless than $1,200, the League has devised twospecial means of raising money, the concertgiven in Mandel Hall by Miss Mary WoodChase and Mesdames Bussing and Ricker, andThe University of Chicago Calendar. Bothhave been voted successes by the public, financially and artistically. The larger part of thebudget, however, is raised by membership dues,and by gifts and pledges of members andfriends.Besides the regular Thursday morning devotional meeting, from 10:30 to 11 o'clock, inHaskell Assembly Room, the League has inaugurated a Tuesday meeting at the chapel hourin the 1 .eague room. These meetings are ledsometimes by the young women themselves,sometimes by visitors of note. The League hasUNIVERSITY RECORD 277been very fortunate in having as guests, besidesseveral state and national secretaries, such people as Dr. Pauline Root and Miss Mary Hill, ofIndia, and Miss Theresa Morrison, who wason her way to Japan, where she is to be thefirst general secretary of the Young Women'sChristian Association of the women's college atTokio. These three women addressed specialmeetings during the world's " week of prayer."Five delegates had the privilege, also, of thethree days' state convention at Galesburg, 111.,and by their reports awakened among the members great interest in the world-wide work of theChristian Associations, but more especially inthe work done on the West Side of Chicago, atthe Association House, for the factory womenof that neighborhood.The "Tuesday Evening Club," a class ofthirty men and women, has studied, with greatest zest, India, under the leadership of Mr.Fleming, and will take up, during the WinterQuarter, the study of China. The League has,on the other hand, arranged for an experimentalclass in mission work right in Chicago.Through the work of the missionary committeea large number have become engaged in thework of the University Settlement; have beeninterested in the Association House, on theWest Side of Chicago; and have becometeachers in the Chinese Sunday school near by.During the Winter Quarter the members of thisclass will meet once a month to hear addressesby eminent settlement workers and sociologicalthinkers, and to compare notes with one anotheron work done in the various fields.The general secretary has given all of hertime to the work of the League, assisting thepresident in her official duties, and helping thecabinet in the organization of the committeesalong new and definite lines. She has madesixty-five calls upon new girls off the campus,besides as many more in the halls. Notification, at any time, of illnesses or needs will be anappreciated courtesy. The League begins the Winter Quarter witha membership 25 per cent, larger than at anyprevious time in its history ; but more than forits increase in membership does it aim at andpray for a work more intensive, a union ofindividuals, each of whom is striving towardthe ideal of true womanhood in Christ Jesus.Ada B. Hillman,General Secretary.REPORT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO SETTLEMENT.PHYSICAL HEALTH.Dr. W. A. Evans, of the Columbia MemorialSchool of Biology, gave an instructive lectureon the "Prevention of Tuberculosis," December 4, in the Settlement gymnasium.The physician resident of the Settlement hasbeen continuing the investigation of tuberculosis and the other sanitary work which wasbegun last summer.In connection with the tuberculosis investigation it has been found that the records at thecity Health Department are so arranged that tofind the number of deaths for any limited areathe whole record must be read. The records for1902 were read, and it was found that in thearea chosen (Thirty-ninth Street to Fifty-fifthStreet, and Halsted Street to Western Avenue)eighty deaths from tuberculosis occurred. Thenumber of the inspected houses was taken ineach case, and these houses are being visitedand all necessary dates recorded about each oneto show whether or not it is at present a focusof tubercular infection. Mr. Storms, of theUniversity, has been reading the records of1 90 1, and the same course will be pursued withthe houses included in these records.The sanitary condition of the streets andalleys has been looked into, and the ward inspector has promised to fill up some of theworst mud holes. Many insanitary houseshave been inspected, reported verbally or inwriting to the Health Department, and somehave been attended to. Miss Warren, of the278 UNIVERSITY RECORDUniversity, has assisted the physician residentin the inspection, and has taken photographs ofsome of the worst places.CLUBS AND CLASSES.Of gymnasium clubs and classes there aretwo for young men, two for boys, and one forthe younger girls.New clubs and classes have arisen duringthe fall to meet demands. Among them is afife and drum corps composed of fifteen working boys, from sixteen to seventeen years ofage. The corps meets Friday evenings in thebasement of the gymnasium.Another new club is the Young People'sChorus. Most of the members of this clubwere first in the Settlement Children's Chorus,and then in the Skylark Singing Club. Thisclub has now about fifty members, young menand women.The University of Chicago Settlement Athletic Association is also new. It is composed ofabout twenty-five young men, and is an offshoot of the Alliance Athletic Club. Therivalry between these two clubs has been conducive to more thorough and intelligent athleticwork.Each club has lectures on the effects of physical training upon the body. Dr. Raycroft, ofthe University, has given one lecture to theAlliance Club. The president of the Universityof Chicago Settlement Athletic Association hasorganized an inter-settlement athletic association in order to have athletic contests.The women's clubs of the Settlement, including the older Woman's Club, the BohemianWoman's Club, and the Young Woman's Club— in all about 150 women — have started in theSettlement year with a broader outlook and withgreater promise than ever before. In some oftheir benevolences these three clubs worktogether.The Children's Chorus of 150 meets on Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock, under the leadership of Miss Mary Sprague. The children preparedfor their Christmas concert the " Children'sMessiah," which was given on Sunday, December 27. Stereopticon pictures of the Christ childaccompanied the songs. The expenses of thischorus are met by the Young People's Societyof the South Congregational Church.MANUAL TRAINING.About seventy-five boys are in five manual-training classes under the resident manual-training teacher. Of these, two are classes ofworking boys, and three are of younger, orschool, boys. Besides these, there is a primarysloyd class of boys and girls that meets twice aweek and is taught by two students from MissMurray's Chicago School of Sloyd. Nearly allof the work that was done this fall was forChristmas gifts. Substantial sleds with ironrunners have taken the lead, but many pieces ofdoll's furniture, picture frames, footstools, andbread boards have been made.PROBATION WORK.Around the table of the club-room of theSettlement gather the schoolboys who are under probationary care, each bringing a reportfrom his teacher as to conduct and attendance.It is possible to keep a close watch on the schoolboy, as he can be visited in school and home,and co-operation with the teacher may be closeand constant. This is well known to the child,and the effect is most salutary. The workingboys come in the evening — their presence istheir report. They give their own account oftheir place of employment, and the " raise " theyhave asked for and received ; but too often theytell of the job lost, and of being "laid off" — -with no satisfactory reason except the unreliable, changing nature of the boy, and his dislikeand impatience of holding on when conditionsdo not please him. This is one of the most perplexing and discouraging questions to answerin dealing with the older boys.Probably the many dangerous and disagree-UNIVERSITY RECORD 279able kinds of work in the Stock Yards, the frequent laying off of gangs of men, the short,uncertain hours, or the long and toilsome ones,have much to do with creating this unrest inthe boys. But above all is the lack of joy intheir work; not seldom does the look of surprise and unbelief come over the boy's face whenhe is asked if he likes his work. He thinks onlyof the hard must of toil and nothing of the joyof producing, because he does not produce.The form of reporting is not official or judicial, but friendly and social, and firm in its purpose to show the intention and value of a weeklyappearance at a stated time and place. Anaverage of sixty report each week, and othersirregularly.The past three months have seen a large number of boys released from the John WorthySchool and starting once more with fair promises and good resolves. Much of interest mightbe told of the daily visits in the homes of boththe dependent and delinquent children — perhaps forty visits per week; of the neglect, indifference, and abuse of which the parents areguilty; of the long calendar of sin and suffering that can be laid directly at the door of thewretched place called "home."Since the passage of the Juvenile Act in 1899about four hundred children have been paroledfrom this district. Of this number fifty are dependent children. The whole number throughout the city that have been paroled is abouttwelve thousand.There is now closed the second book withinthe covers of which is the short record of theselives. Its leaves are filled with name and dateand birth and nationality. Yet how meager isthe account ; how tragic and how hopeful mightbe the recital, if the story of each striving soulwere told in all its truth and pathos !THE PENNY SAVINGS BANK.The Penny Savings Bank is doing a largebusiness for its capital — about forty dollars. There are nearly three hundred regular depositors, with accounts varying from $1.50 to $19.Of these about twenty have deposits in theNorthern Trust Bank. The Loan Bank hasturned over its capital of less than $300 threetimes in six months, thus showing the demandfor small loans. Six per cent, is charged forthe loans.THE LIBRARY.At the Settlement Public Library stationabout one hundred new cards have been madeout for borrowers since October, and the circulation has more than doubled. Three-fourths ofthe borrowers are children — a large proportionof them Polish. Of the adult borrowers, four-fifths read foreign books. The public-schoolteachers in the vicinity co-operate heartily withSettlement library workers and encourage children to read.SOCIAL ACTIVITIES.Miss McDowell, assisted by Foster Hall students, holds a social evening on Monday of eachweek for the younger girls who work in the"Yards" and belong to the Woman's Union.The Bohemian Woman's Club celebrated St.Nicholas' Day on December 6 in the gymnasium. Whole families came together to thiscelebration, and it was estimated that one thousand people were present. An interesting andappropriate program was given, suitable for allages.Students from Foster Hall gave an entertainment in the gymnasium on December 2 for thebenefit of the Settlement Woman's Club.

These meetings wereboth well attended and full of spirit and enthusiasm. Practically all the divinity men inthe halls attended these meetings.Chapel is much better attended since thechange from Friday to Wednesday.On Thursdays a prayer and song service washeld in Room 26, Haskell Museum, from 10 : 30to 11 o'clock. These meetings were well attended. We had a room full, and all were freeto take part. Professors attended also; butthis is a student affair and is under the supervision of the Devotional Committee.The first Thursday in each month the abovemeeting is given over to the Committee on Missions, for the purpose of fostering the missionary spirit in our men by calling to their attention the needs, and the work now being doneby Chicago men.UNIVERSITY RECORD 281We sent three delegates to the Y. M. C. A.Convention (theological) at Rochester, N. Y.,and they came back with many new ideas, andvaluable suggestions. As a result of the inspiration gathered there, we have organized anEvangelistic Band of the men who will makefive campaigns in each of five towns outsideChicago during the Winter Quarter. Series ofmeetings and personal house-to-house workwill be carried on from Friday till Sundayevening at each place. The first work is to bedone in Michigan City, Ind.We have also been holding mission servicesfor three nights in the week at the CentralChurch on Clark Street. There has been anawakening of interest in missions among ourdivinity men. Many study classes are to beformed during the coming Quarter.The Devotional Committee has organized adevotional Bible-study band, and are studyingOld Testament poetry in their rooms.The spirit of the Divinity School, I am told,has not been better in its history. We are stillpraying, although thankful for what has cometo pass.W. Edgar Woodruff,Chairman Devotional Committee.From these reports it will be judged that thevarious activities of the Christian Union arebeing pursued with vigor and with a gratifyingmeasure of success. The difficulties attendantupon the work, in its different departments, canbe understood only by those who have the workactually in hand. It requires unremittingthought and effort. It is hardly possible to appreciate too highly the intelligence, the self-sacrifice, and the labor bestowed by those whosenames appear at the end of each of the foregoing reports. The progressive spirit animatingthem and their associates furnishes ground forencouragement as to the future.Nathaniel Butler,President of the Christian Union. THE DEATH OF PROFESSOR HERMANN EDUARD VONHOLST.By a cablegram received from Mrs. HermannE. von Hoist on January 20, 1904, the newscame that Professor von Hoist passed quietlyaway in Freiburg, Germany, on the afternoonof that day. Although his death was not entirely unexpected, it yet brought to all hisfriends in the University a shock and a sense ofsorrow. Mr. von Hoist had made a characteristically brave struggle for life, and by hisdeath as by his life he showed the strength ofhis intense character and the greatness of hismind.In October, 1903, occurred the formal presentation to the University of the portrait of Professor von Hoist, painted by Karl Marr, whenthe speech of acceptance was made by the President of the University, and addresses1 on Mr.von Hoist as a historian and a man weremade by Professor J. Franklin Jameson, Headof the Department of History, and Professor J.Laurence Laughlin, Head of the Departmentof Political Economy. Hon. CharlemagneTower, Ambassador of the United States toGermany, also spoke on the same occasion.Professor von Hoist, as was remarked in President Harper's speech of acceptance, regardedthe presentation of this portrait to the University as the supreme honor of his life.Hermann Eduard von Hoist was born in1 84 1 at Fellin in Livonia, a Baltic provinceof Russia; but, although born a Russian,he was a German who did not even know theRussian language. His father was Rev. Valentine von Hoist, the pastor of a Lutheranchurch, who died when Hermann, his seventhchild, was yet very young. The father left asmall but significant legacy of two hundredrubles to be devoted to his son's education.His early education was received in a privategymnasium in Fellin, and at nineteen years ofXA11 the addresses referred to were published in theUniversity Record for October, 1903.282 UNIVERSITY RECORDage he entered the German university of Dor-pat. In 1865 the University of Heidelbergconferred upon him the degree of Doctor ofPhilosophy.Broken in health by his hardships and strenuous study, he spent a winter in Algiers, andlater traveled in France and Italy. In 1867 nepublished a political pamphlet on the significance of an attempt to assassinate the Czar, andthe frankness of his criticism of the Russianpolitical system and the Russian ministrybrought him near to ending his life in Siberia.An exile, therefore, Mr. von Hoist came inthe steerage from Rotterdam as a commonemigrant — shattered in health, poor, andfriendless — to the New World, only to beginagain a struggle against poverty and to knowthe privations and bitterness of the life of a daylaborer.By work as a newspaper correspondent and ateacher of modern languages in a private schoolhe soon bettered his condition, and was able toput into form for publication the first volume ofa work he entitled Pen Sketches of the Historyof Despotism.In 1869 Mr. von Hoist became the assistanteditor of Schem's Deutsch-amerikanischesConversations-Lexicon, and at the same timea correspondent of the Cologne Zeitung, theNew Englander , and the New York Nation.Through the suggestion and by the encouragement of the historian von Sybel and theeminent German exile, Dr. Friedrich Kapp, Mr.von Hoist was induced by three Bremen merchants to write an article upon America thatwould give in Germany a more adequate conception of American life and institutions. Thisdirection of his thought proved to be in the lineof his future study and fame as the author ofthe seven volumes in the great ConstitutionalHistory of the United States.In 1872 Mr. von Hoist was offered the chairof American history and constitutional law inthe University of Strassburg, and accepted the appointment as professor extraordinarius. Twodays before leaving America for his new post hewas married to Miss Annie Isabelle Hatt — thedaughter of a Baptist clergyman in Hoboken —herself a graduate of Vassar College.By his publication in Strassburg of the firstvolume of his V erf as sung und Democratic derVereinigten Staaten von Amerika he becamewidely known as a student of American institutions, and as a result he was called to the professorship of modern history in the old University of Freiburg. Professor von Hoist by hisconnection with this seat of learning greatlywidened its reputation and increased the number of its students.In 1878 Mr. von Hoist was sent to Americaby the Prussian Academy of Sciences to gatherfurther material for later volumes in his Constitutional History of the United States.His second coming to this country was in thenature of a triumphal procession, in strikingcontrast to his first coming as a friendless andunknown emigrant. He was enabled to visitthe southern states and travel through the districts beyond the Mississippi. Everywhere hewas received with honor and with enthusiasm.Twice he was offered the chair of history inJohns Hopkins University, and in 1887 ClarkUniversity also made an effort to bring himback to this country.Although pre-eminently a scholar, Mr. vonHoist shrank from no public duty. In 1881 hewas summoned by the grand duke of Baden tomembership in the upper chamber of the Landtag for two years ; and in 1883 he was electedby the university as its representative, and wassuccessively re-elected for three terms of fouryears each, remaining in office until his departure for the University of Chicago in 1892. In1889 ne was made privy councilor, and duringthe last two sessions he was chosen vice-president of the upper chamber. At the urgentrequest of the Liberal party, Mr. von Hoistconsented to stand as a candidate for theUNIVERSITY RECORD 283Reichstag, in 1890, for the district of Freiburg.Owing to the Ultramontane influence, his election was hopeless ; but he fought the campaignthrough with great vigor and ability.In 1892 Professor von Hoist left the University of Freiburg to take the headship of theDepartment of History in the University ofChicago ; and from the founding of the University to his complete physical breakdown in 1899he was an exceedingly active member of theFaculty, with the exception of one year's absence in search of renewed strength. The University refused to accept his resignation when itwas handed in, and even to the last his nameremained on the rolls of the institution.In the history of American scholarship thereprobably has been no more strenuous andindomitable figure than that of Professor vonHoist — a figure that will long remain in thememories of men the symbol of intellectualpower, of scholarly ambitions, and of glowingmoral earnestness.A TRAINING CENTER FOR SOCIAL WORKERS.1BY GRAHAM TAYLOR.Those of us who have been longest and mostdirectly at work among the people have all alongfelt the force of two facts. One is the lack oftrained helpers and heads of departments inevery line of social service. The other is theunfailing supply of people capable of trainingand, when trained, of high efficiency. Themoney, time, and talent thus wasted are toocostly longer to pass unchallenged.The invaluable time of the experts at the head1 The following announcement of a new departmentof University work was recently prepared by ProfessorGraham Taylor, under whose direction it has been inaugurated. The first meeting was held, in accordancewith the announcement, on January 12, 1904, at HullHouse, and was attended by a large number of interestedpersons. The number of registrations is in excess ofthat originally anticipated. The lectures are deliveredregularly in Room 429, Fine Arts Building, 203 MichiganAvenue, Chicago. of these public and private institutions, whichis all needed for their management, is wastefullydiverted to breaking in their subordinates. Lessmoney in efficient hands produces better resultsthan larger funds conditioned by untrained help.Economy in administration and the social valueof the work would be more effectively promotedby the supply of trained workers than by anything else. While a certain amount of attentionto a personal adjustment is inevitable, much preliminary fitting and training can precede oraccompany every worker's entrance upon suchwork. Even without any such help from others,some of our Chicago workers have picked uptraining enough to qualify them for positionsof trust and honor.So widely has the practicability of more systematic training been felt that courses of studyand observation are being conducted by somecharitable societies and industrial corporations,as well as by colleges. At the greater centerstraining schools are being established to meetthe more varied demand. In taking this greatstep forward for the advancement of everyeffort to improve our social and civic conditionsChicago has been anticipated only by London,New York, and Boston.NEW UNIVERSITY EXTENSION ENTERPRISE.At the initiative of a settlement worker,heartily supported by the representatives ofpractically all the private and public charity andcorrectional institutions of the city, the University of Chicago will furnish the great facilitiesof its Extension Department for the establishment and development of training centers andcorrespondence courses. The following officialprospectus is about to be issued :SOCIAL SCIENCE CENTER.For practical training in philanthropic and socialwork under the direction of Graham Taylor.

The first session of the class, January 12, 7 : 30 p. m.,will be held at Hull House, 335 Halsted Street, in connection with the Philanthropic Workers' Club meeting.SUCCESS IN LONDON AND NEW YORK.The practical value of this lecture-study andfield work has been demonstrated both at homeand abroad. In London, it is interesting tonote, the initiative was given to such educational effort by the Women's University Settlement, of which Miss Helen Gladstone, daughterof the great prime minister, is the resident warden. From the year's course of study and practice furnished there, well-trained women havegone forth to occupy paid or honorary positionsat many centers of influence and usefulness.Those engaged in this effort have joined forceswith Charles S. Loch, of the London CharityOrganization Society, and others, in organizinga school of sociology and social economics. Thedemand for its instruction was proved at thefirst session by a large attendance and wide public approval. It is still more successful thissecond year. The summer school in philanthropic-work conducted by the New York CityCharity Organization Society has drawn somany students from far and wide, not a few ofthem from the West, that it begins a full two-year course this season.NECESSITY FOR TRAINING.The announcement of our Chicago social-science center, outlined above, is only provisionaland preparatory to a full course covering twoyears, which will be opened next autumn. Inaddition to this, the Senate of the Universityof Chicago has also adopted an academic curriculum for a College of Religious and SocialService, which will be co-ordinate with theCollege of Arts and Literature and the Collegeof Commerce and Administration. This coursewill be more exacting in its requirementsfor admission, will cover four years, and willlead to a University degree. It will affordstudents of the center opportunities to carrytheir studies farther, while the students of theCollege will share the value of the practicalobservation and field work furnished by thecenter. It is confidently expected that the offerto supply training will develop a constantlygrowing demand for it among those in institutional work, social movements, church agencies,shop secretaryships, and the civil service, aswell as by many who should- bear a larger shareof citizenship.UNIVERSITY RECORD 285A UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO CLASS IN PALESTINE.On Saturday, January 30, 1904, a party ofstudents from the University of Chicago willsail from Boston on the Steamer " Canopic," ofthe White Star line, for Alexandria, on the wayto Palestine for two months of study of thegeography, history, manners and customs, andthe work of excavation in the Holy Land. Theparty will be in charge of Assistant ProfessorHerbert L. Willett, of the Department ofSemitic Languages and Literatures, and consists of the following persons : Rev. George A.Miller, Covington, Ky. ; Rev. J. H. Goldner,Cleveland, O. ; Rev. C. B. Newman,' Indianapolis, Ind.; Rev. L. E. Sellers, Terre Haute,Ind. ; Rev. P. M. Kendall and wife, Columbus,Ind. ; Mrs. Fontaine Merriwether, Sedalia, Mo. ;Miss Mary Coleman, Springfield, 111.; MissesAlice and Lena Tuxbury, N. Tonawanda, N.Y. ; Rev.

Willett,Chicago. These members of the party are registered students of the University of Chicago,and the course of study pursued is one of theregular courses of the University for the Winter and Spring Quarters. Preparations havebeen made for the journey by all the membersof the class, several required text-books onPalestinian history and geography having beenread in connection with biblical studies duringthe past three months.During the journey to Alexandria daily lectures and class exercises will be held in preparation for the work in Palestine. Each memberof the party has a particular subject assignedfqr special investigation, upon which a classthesis will be presented later, and individualreports will be made in the class on the differentsubjects assigned. Ten days will be spent inEgypt, after which the party will proceed toPalestine, making Jerusalem its headquartersfor the first three weeks and spending sometime each week in trips to interesting places inthe vicinity, such as Jericho, the Jordan, and theDead Sea, Bethlehem ,Hebron, and the Convent of Mar Saba. The party will then proceednorthward with the camp from " Jerusalem,through Samaria and Galilee, visiting all thepoints of interest on the way, and going up thecoast from Carmel past Tyre and Sidon toBeirut. Here the camp will be abandoned, andthe party will go by train to Baalbek andDamascus, returning to Beirut. From therethe coast steamer will be taken, touching atCyprus and the mainland of Asia Minor atseveral points, including Smyrna, Ephesus,Constantinople, Athens, Corinth, and Corfu.The party will reach Naples, on the return,about the last of April, and will have the optionof an immediate return to the United States ora supplementary trip through Europe.On the journey through Palestine the dailyclass work will be maintained ; and, in additionto the lectures of Professor Willett, special addresses will be made by local authorities on thecountry and its various groups of people. Thedifferent sites at which excavations have beenconducted in the interest of archaeology will bevisited, and the history of Palestinian exploration and excavation will be reviewed. The tripoffers very special opportunities for a first-handinvestigation of biblical subjects such as isimpossible upon a hasty tourist trip throughthe country.The business arrangements for the journeyhave been made by Messrs. H. W. Dunning& Co., of Boston, whose experience in handlingparties of tourists in the orient gives assuranceof satisfactory conduct of the trip and the welfare of the members of the class.After the return to America the members ofthe class will prepare their class theses on thesubjects assigned for special investigation, andwill pass the usual examinations, receiving thesame credits for the course as for any residentwork of equal importance. It is the purpose ofthe University to send out such classes as frequently as circumstances warrant.THE WORK OF THE BOARD OF RECOMMENDATIONS.HERBERT ELLSWORTH SLAUGHT,Secretary of the Board.The Board of Recommendations now occupies an office in Cobb Hall, where ample spaceis provided for its constantly expanding work.It is hoped that all Departments in the Uni-286 UNIVERSITY RECORDversity may realize the importance of centralizing in this office all activities concernedwith the recommendation of students to eitherteaching or business positions. All studentsseeking positions should be asked to registerwith the Board in order that full data may beofficially recorded both for present and futurereference, Such data will in each case comprise the student's entire scholastic history, including confidential statements from membersof the Faculties in the University of Chicago.Thus a central bureau of information is provided for general use in the University, foranswering correspondence in regard to vacancies, and for facilitating prompt action whencollege presidents, superintendents, and principals call in person to make inquiries concerningcandidates.Many Departments have already made systematic arrangements for close co-operationwith the Board. The points of chief importance are (a) concerted action by the membersof the Faculty in each Department; (b) thedesignation of some member as official representative of the Department concerning these matters ; and (c) the formulation of some standardof recommendation such as has been recentlyenacted by the Department of German.The following official report from the Department of Chemistry on the appointments securedduring the year 1903, through its assistance, isof interest in this connection :Mr. T.
