The Great Channel Swim
Burgess' Endurance and Vitality-
It is the big success, the great deed itself, that proves the wisdom of Burgess in employing Phosferine to provide the endurance and energy which enabled him to swim the Channel. To Phosferine the mighty. Yorkshireman owes it that he has achieved more than any other living man, for on this historic occasion he used Phosfering to prepare for his daring and thrilling 23 hours' swim! Comparing his triumph with his previous failures, Burgess declares that the unlimited nerve force derived from Phosferine furnished the fudurance to finish his swim successfully. this ime. Obviously Phosferine was the making of Burgess' great deed, and alike with other innumerable victors who have achieved renown by the invigorating aid of Phosferine, he frankly declares that Phosferice cons provides the force and vitality necessary for continuous mental and -- physical exertion.
How he made success sure.
Mr. T. W. Burgess, 30, Dover Road, Walser,, Deal, writes - I am very pleased to place on record my keen appreciation of Phosterine as a nerve and muscle tonic of the highest order. I have proved from experience the unfailing efficacy of this admirable remedy, and in preparing for this special demand upon my energies, it has been of incalculable benefit to me, and its recuperative effects immediately after my successful Chantel Swim were excellent. Its sustaining and strengthening properties are very marked, and for zervous breakdown and feats of physical endurance I consider. Phosferine is indispensable."

Roberts, secretary to the University of Cambridge Appointments. Board, before the Royal Society of Arts, pub quite a different complexion on the
matter.
Education in Scienes as a Preparation for Industrial Work was the title of the paper, and the enbject, has intoły "beer" dealt with in the columns of The Standard. The crux of the matter is this:-The old "ides of the university was that it afforded an"education for the man who intended to pursue a professional or ortamental career, oro caraer at all. The new Idea"l that it gives bim the highest kind of scientific education which will at him for the openings in industry and commerco which, are ready to be filled by men whoj. up to the age of twenty-three or twenty- four, have been properly trained.

The best tochnical schools supply a large proportion, but many manufacturers now believe that they must look to the carefully trained experts of the universities for their finest men.
"A big change is coming over us. Pat ents, belonging even to the very nicest people, are beginning to realize that thore is nothing shameful in their sons going inta commerce, though the old spirit, of course, still lingers.

knowledge, How long will the parrot cry continue that these old universities must wake up!7"
