MASTERS OF COMMERCE,
£500,000 SCHEME TAKES SHAPE.
London University by its posit- ion in the capital of the world's commerce, its traditions, and its association with the City Com- panies, is pre-eminently fitted to deal with the subject of higher commercial education.
The University has decided to l grant the degree of Bachelor of! Commerce to candidates who pass the necessary examinations after a course of study, lasting noripal- ly for three years. A further degree of Master of Commerce will be available, after another two years' satisfactory practical | experience in the particular trade or industry taken up by the can- didate.
The examinations will be three in number: the matriculation as a proof of general education; the intermediate, for which the sub- jects will be elementary econo- mics, banking, currency, trade. transport. finance. geography. accounting or world-history, one; approved. modern language, and a second subject selected from a given list which includes foreign language, science, mathematics. history, English and commercial
art.
of
The final involves two years' study. During the first year the subjects are organisation industry, banking, trade and transport, modern economic de velopment of the Empire and the' chief foreign countries, element-- ary commercial law and statistic- al method. The second year is devoted to specialisation, each student selecting a group of subjects appropriate to the indus- try in which he is engaged or proposes to be engaged.
While it is expected that there; will be a certain number of candi- | dates able to devote their whole time to the course, it is realised that the larger proportion will) be composed of those who are employed during the day and can only study in their spare time. Full provision has been made to handle this side of the problem.
In addition, a central bureau will be set up in the City, where a thoroughly qualified staff of advisers will be available both in the daytime and the evening to guide and assist individual candi. dates in their studies, both per- sonally and by post. It is hoped that this bureau will develop an employment agency, where em- ployers will seek for properly University-trained men.
For those who do not wish to take the full degree course, but only to specialise in some one branch thereof, opportunities will be provided for attendance at the appropriate classes of the course. Suitable text-books, comparable to the admirable works that are in use in Germany, France and the United States, will be prepar- ed, though it is not expected that the publication of such books is likely, to be directly, a commercial success.
The annual cost of these pro- posals is estimated at £21,750, thus necessitating the provision of a capital of £433,000. To this must be added the cost of build- ings. The total required, in zound figures, is about half a million.
Quite large sums base already been received, and it is hoped that the merchants of the metropolis will not be slow to provide the balance.
RELIGION AND DI-EASE,
ANGLICAN EXPERIMENT IN CHRISTIAN SCIENCE. The power of religion in the restoration of bodily health was the subject of an address given at St. Martin-in-the-Fields recently by the Rev. Harold Anson, Warden of the Guild of Health.
At present, he said, there was a great tendency among doctors co discard drugs and make more and more use of thought in deal- ing with disease. The war had, caused them, when considering cases of shell-shock, to consider the mentality of the subjects in their childhood, and even in their infancy.
He believed that in future very few drugs would be used, and that whether religious or not, people would be cured of a great · number of their ailments by mental means.
How was it, he asked, that re- ligion had not been discovered to be the best mental method by: which good health, success, and popularity could be secured?
He believed there was a great deal which was untrue in Chris tian science; yet in spite of this it had done great good not only in regard to bodily health, but to character, because the workers bad had the courage to believe that the gospel of Christ could be applied to the body as well as the soul. He saw no reason why the same results should not follow in the Church of England.
