HA2LEW00D President American Bankers Association ONLY half a century ago Michael Pupin, a shepherd boy, his flocks by night among the fields of Serbia. Thieves often lurked in the bordering cornfields awaiting an opportunity to make off with a part of the herd. Serbian boys were taught a method of signalling one another for warning and help. Each carried a knife with a long wooden handle which he Vfrould thrust deep into the ground and in case cattle thieves approached he would strike the wooden handle. The sound would be transmitted through the ground to other boys some distance away who could hear and interpret the message. Why is it, Pupin asked his mother, that we can signal this way? Why is it the sound can be heard through the ground, but npt through the air? Why is it the signals can be heard in the pasture land so much ( better than in the plbwed fields? The boys mother could not answer his questions, nor could the village teacher. However, having an eager mind and great determination, the boy decided to go to America, where he might win an education and find out the answers to these and other perplexing questions. Hundreds of other boys under the same circumstances and with the same set conditions merely accepted these things without once questioning them just because they had always done them that way. The 'Land of Education and Success So a penniless immigrant. boy from Serbia at the age of fifteen landed in New York in 1874 and, years later, having worked his way through Columbia University, concentrated the wonder and simplicity of his mind upon the problem of sound, which had puzzled him as a shepherd boy.

These inventions, in which millions of dollars of capital have been invested, were the result of the thinking of a mere country lad who had the simplicity to wonder, the determination to know and the power to apply what he learned. Stimulating the Imagination and thinking is the greatest purpose of edWhat American business ucation. needs more than anything else is young men and women to think individuals who are not mentally anchored to tradition, who do not merely appropriate other peoples ideas, but who are hard, purposeful thinkers, independent and unprejudiced, with the ability to concentrate and strike straight for the heart of a problem.. Business Needs Folk Who Think America has astounded the world by its readiness in casting aside traditional viewpoints, disregarding traditional difficulties and pioneering new shortcut formulas in the realm of Business is undergoing business. epochal changes. Business problems are crowding in upon us so rapidly that the executive knows not where to look for adequate help or relief. With the enormous increase in size and intricacy of business affairs the problems have become so complicated and the mass of information necessary to their solution so great that the days are not long The demand for managerial enough. and executive ability is rushing ahead the opportunity for young men and women who have the professional training and who develop genuine thinking power is greater than ever. All business teels the same crying need for the men who see clearly and think conclusively. Wherever we look manufacturing, wholesaling, retailing, banking, financing new forqes are at work. Vast movements are under way and executives are seeking light upon perplexing problems daily. Let ns consider briefly the five essentials of a sound thinker. If I were looking for a young man of exceptional promise I should hope, first, to find in him the simplicity to wonder. Every great advancement in business haB been made by men who dared to wonder, who had the courage- to inquire into present procedure and who had the audacity to ask whether something that had been done a certain way for a long time might not be wrong. Although the history of Americas progress from its very discovery to the present time has shown the value of an inquiring mind, there' Is still an inevitable tendency in most men to accept in a docile manner the opinions, piethods, supposed facts, procedures and processes of the past With due reverence to the effort, the spirit, the accomplishments of the past, let us make it our rule that everything be looked at with the clear 4uesttoninf mind of the scientist. $--of Business Requires an Open Mind among the essentials for sound thinking I would write down an open mind. We have mentioned freeing our minds from the influence of tradition. Let us think also without prejudice of personal feelings, desires or consequence. Let us seek only the truth. Mere surface reasoning must be discounted. Old eants and "donts must be thrown into the discard. A man who has an open mind will do ,a great many things because he doesnt know they cant be Second, done. The third essential to sound thinking is knowledge a thorough, comprehensive understanding of all the factors involved in a problem. It has been said that most problems answer themselves when the facts have been gathered. A well known student and teacher of business describes the method of attacking a problem as tear ing it down, reassembling the prob lem and drawing the conclusion There can be nothing but guess work or intuition unless the unknown quan tities are discovered. As a fourth essential sound think ing requires the capacity to general ize. How often we have seen men sweating and confused before a mass of details which they were utterly un able to classify and crystallize. We have the problem of sorting out the relevant, attaining a perspective and reaching a conclusion that can be defended against any attack. To certain minds this procedure comes natu rally; to others training in the solution of complicated problems points the way out. The Time for Action Fifth among the essentials of sound thinking is the power to apply. A few individuals have minds that travel at Some have random or in circles. minds that even refuse to budge. But there are still others who naturally ot through training have minds that can be directed straight through to the practical application of their thoughts They refuse to compromise or to be thwarted in purpose before definite application of their ideas has been achieved. It is possible,' I believe, for young people to train themselves to an In quisitive attitude, an open mind and the ability to classify and Interpret material step by step from the beginning of a problem to its final solution and application. Here, then, is the thought I would leave the paramount need of business is sound thinking. Some may think I have overstated the case, have set too high a standard They may feel that they are merely cogs in a machine. That, too, is a part of the problem. The only way to solve that is to find time and place in the days work for thinking. STONY METEORITE MAY BRING FANCY PRICE A A flamer once u'aed. as a weight for his rain barrel cover, a stone worth a hundred dollars. A door-stoin a certain office, proved to be more valuable than the room furnishings. A stone worth several hundred dollar wag used as a door sten for many years before it3 true nature was discovered.

Meteorites are rare, yet there may be one op your farm or one may be brought into your office. Study the description following and be prepared to recognize these rare visitors from space.

Meteorites are usually heavier in proportion to their size than terrestrial rocks. They are black on the surface if freshly fallen, or they may become brown by weathering. In shape, meteorites are quite variable, but the surface is nearly always marked by certain depressions which look somewhat like thumbmarks. The size of the meteorites varies from tiny pebbles to mniny tons; but the majority are less than a hundred pounds in weight. In mountainous regions prospectors and assayers are most likely to meet with meteorites. In farming country the plowman is most liable to discover them.
