The so-called academic course has been modified to meet the demand not only for men who can read Greek and Latin, solve problems In higher mathematics, discuss literature and talk In foreign language, but for men whose general intelligence has been Sharpened and who have been taught to use their faculties beyond the mere application of class-room and labora tory knowledge. One of the chief Supporters, of this modern idea of education has been President Charles W. Eliot, of Harvard, and the further Harvard progressed to ward turning out men well trained for any branch of the world's business, as distinguished from one of the profes sions, the plainer it became that the college Itself must adopt new methods In tlie Conduct of its own affairs. While It was Introducing courses in finance and banking, for example, It was keep-big- lis archives in practically the same old way that has been in vogue for 250 years, and with the growth of the in stitution, which has In its various de partments and schools more than 5,000 young men, there came a time when an up-to-date business system for keeping track of them was imperatively re quired. .President ICIiot appreciated that for m: a re-urganization ot omce ma- rhlnerv i. h,.A i ,,., w.;.

Having taken up expert accounting when most lads of his age were going to school, however, and risen by degrees to have large Industrial interests of his own, he had a special sort of training that would enable him to see defects In an academe system which the profes sional collegian would not be likely to detect. Mr. Chamberlain was probably the nrst business man to have u share in the executive administration of a mat university. The wisdom of ih. n.. th.it ueloc - jrcisuii ior me eomewhat peculiar task that was set him primarily the reorganisation of the method of keeping the records of students soon appeared. Mr. Cham berlain stipulated at the outset that he should be allowed three month for In vestigation of the feasibility of devising such a system as was desired before taking up the work" more permanently; In the end he stayed eleven year. When he undertook his work the newly created recorder, as he was call ed, found that in order to get at a Harvard man's record li nn. nu. to search at least ten laree vol,n h T oul tne '"formation about "luiviuum in question from the .V "r "mss "atisucs.

' So successful dld'the Introduction of lun uusinesH man into student manage ment prove In this particular that It wa given further trial. Mr. Chamber lain was made,secretary of the Law rent Scientific School, which is Har vard'a department ot training In the oretical technology, and then of h- Harvard Summer School Both these orancnes of university work were small at that time, but In ten year they hud grown to twelve or fifteen times their original size. Harvard University, by the Institu tion of its new system of registration, adopted methods which ore fast, becom ing familiar to the business world, and was thus a pioneer In-the movement for simplicity and clearness in business ac counting, in tact. Mr; Chamberlain, who I now the manager of the New England Audit Company, ha found hi Harvard experience of great value in working out new system of book-keeping which be ha originated, the verifi cation of account and method of keep ing them. ,-.,..,.;.( 't-i v-,..-, In present-day industrial condition. an auditor la .quite a different sort of a person rrom wnat he used to be. Hi work brings before him constantly remedies and tragedies, romances and ordid stories of wrong-doing a much stranger than tbe tales told In book a the truth of the proverb I than Action. That he must first of all be skilled in the understanding of figure goes with out saying; but further than that he must have an Intuitive undemanding of men, an almost Instinctive jumping to conclusion, dogged persistence, in corruptibility., and. withal, th tact and - gentleness that often bring confession of thing so well concealed that even on' suspicion they cannot be discovered. An auditor or wide experience will' tel. you that th. wor,Vpe, in uTZbJtTiT is caused notby criminal intent, but by Ignorance. r There ha been a universal fe .iK 4 old-fashioned method cling, yet there .can be traced to losaes In manufac- i ture. or Insufficient cost allowance, intricate extension of old-time account method that they escape notice, for they belonged on another, which there - a temptation to "make look well," Wiiat proportion of commercial failure could be prevented If precaution were tdken against a concern' misunder standing Its own business in these ways cannot be calculated, but it is safe to say that it would be surprisingly large. It used to be that a private-business rarely thought of having an audit made unless its affairs were found to be In bad shape, or its control was to be sold, or it was to be closed up altogether for some reason. Such occasion as these, calling for special audits, as they are professionally known, still arise every day, of course: but the custom of hav ing firm and corporation account gone through by an expert at least once each year, just as a bank is periodically! examined, Is increasing rapidly. It is no longer regarded as a reflection on a man's character when his book are "put through" once in so often, but is IipM to be as much of a protection to the Individual as to the interests in his charge, und probably this spirit of bus-int-i- discretion has been fostered more by the broadening of the accountant's profession than by any other one In fluence.

Animal Conquest Marked One of the tireat Turning Points In the History or Civilization. From Henry Fairfield Osborn's "Fossiil Wonders of the West," In the No vember Century. The conquest of the horse by man, and its final utilisation for all pur poses which are discharged by steam and electricity to-day. marked one or the great turning points In the history of civilization. In the great earth and Siiiid preglaclal deposits of Europe the true wild horse is as wide-spread, though not as varied, as in America. It is not at this stage associated with the remains of man, because no proghicial man except the pithecanthropus br Trlnil man of Java has been found. In the interglacial or postglacial period the remains of man and the horse are first found together. The first assoH elation occurs in the middle of the paleaolithlc, or, rough Implement, pe riod. The horse came very gradually. however, for there is abundant proof tnat man nrst hunted and ate, then drove, and finally rode the animal. The ' prevailing drawing's ot the palaeolithic horse represent him a hog maned, with no forelock to conceal the low-bred Roman nose. A second type in the Mouthe cave, a bearded horse with long, bristling mane, long ears and convex forehead. 1 regarded by M.- Riviere a another "species. But it Is not. clear to my 'mind that these drawings represent more .than . the summer and winter coats of the same onimai,. Besides these Roman-nosed type to which Ewart traces the mod em cart horse, there are others with: amall head and flat noses which Ewart associates with the Celtic pony and possibly with the origin of the thor oughbred. Other cave drawings, repro duced by M. Capitan, leave little doubt that the as was known In Europe. ' It ! 1.
