...standards generally attainable because already attained by an efficient group large enough to be significant. It is in the providing of standards that the Bureau performs its greatest service, excellent as may be the accounting system it has constructed. Any good accounting system will tell a business concern where it stands, but only through a central agency like the Bureau, adjusting comparing, and tabulating, can the concern be told where it ought to stand. A second edition of Bulletin No. 1 was required in October, 1913. Data at that time collected from 655 stores did not affect materially the figures...

Past experience has shown that the best training for a technical chemist begins with a broad and thorough training in the principles of inorganic, theoretical, and analytical chemistry. It is of great advantage to understand as well the principles of industrial chemistry and of mechanical engineering, but special...
Both this year and last the association of the University with Summer Military Camps for college men has caused concern among its members. It is seen "standing pat" for the old established order of War; and losing its reputation as a seat of learning and enlightenment. Aside from the practical merits of the question of military force and equipment, this fear seems unnecessarily exaggerated. The University will be termed reactionary by very few for supporting a camp which the government considers of value in the maintaining of an army, for with Mexican intervention imminent, and a standng force too small...
