Į recently at the Univinity" of London, South Kensington, when Dr. Russell Wells, Chairman of of the General Committee" for Degrees in Commerce, explained the scheme for those degrees which are about to be established by the University.

The University wanted to take its share in the great recon struction that was coming about because of the "war. "CommETOS was a very important factor in that reconstruction The wealth of this country and its futuro depended upon commerce, and looking at it from a wide stand- point they were impressed by our] deficiency in commercial- edu cation compared with that of Germany and the United States

There were curious deficiencies in our educational systsin. A | certain well-known business man told him that after the war he did Hot know how he was going to obtain suitable representatives, aad he thought that he should -bave to revert to Germans again. The average Englishman learned languages with difficulty, and adopted the attitude that if he could make himself understood in a business deal that was all that was required. What was really wanted was that our bussiness men should understand the habits of mind of the people with whom they were dealing. We must not enter the war of commerce as badly equipped as we entered the conflict of arms; we had to train our men thoroughly.
