College Graduates Show Superiority in Business World
K. U. Engineers Employed by Westinghouse Prove Successful, Says Anderson
The ability of the college-trained man in the professions and vocations has come to be recognized as superior in the majority of cases, if the statements of officials of large corporations are to be taken as evidence.
E. M. Herr, president of the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, in a recent statement, said, "Often he hear of some man who, lacking an education, has successfully succeeded in his position. People say that he succeeded because he did not have an education. They do not realize that he has risen in spite of his lack of training in schools, and they forget what this man might have become had he on education."
Annual Scholarships Offered
Annual Scholarships Offered
Four scholarships, each carrying an annual payment to the student in lieu of the Westinghouse Company to employees and sons of employees on the basis of competitive examination. The scholarship covers a four-year course in any representative university. The course must be made by many-sided nature and not merely mentally efficient.
The concensus of opinion among the successful business men of this country seems to be that the promising college graduate must have his theoretical training well seasoned with good common sense. J. Pierpont Morgan, Sr., a successful graduate who was applying for a position. The applicant had won a Phi Beta Kappa key and Mr. Morgan commented him for this. But when it developed that the young graduate had never used his vacations for practical things and had never even tried for any variety of applications, Mr. Morgan rejected the applicant, saying: "We have no room for anyone so unorganized as to be Phi Beta Kappa and nothing else."
Heinz Approves College Men in a recent newspaper article, *Heward Company*, president of the H. J. Heinz Company, and author my opinions on college education to man in commercial or industrial life is that it teaches him how to use his mind; how to analyze a problem logically, to find sources of information and to separate important from unimportant facts. There are other ways of securing an education, but the college curriculum requires students to be organized form the experiences and thought of the leaders of all ages."
Many Schools Represented
William B. Anderson, who is here on a four month's leave of absence from the Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company, reports that the University of Kansas has every reason to feel pressure he returned his work in the School of Engineering.
Many Schools represented
Each year the Westinghouse
Company hires about 200 men just
of some engineering jobs.
These 200 men work in about 175
schools and colleges in the
United States and foreign countries.
Kansas is not represented there 'm
quantity, but all of the men there
are doing exceptionally good work
according to Anderson.
"If one can judge a college by its representative men, one has no reason to be ashamed that he is from Kansas," Anderson said.

W. W. Davis Speaks to Women's Forum on "Growing Democracy
Tells of Japan's Rapid Progress From Obscurity to Place Among Powers
W. W. Davis, professor of American history, speaking at the Women's Forum Thursday afternoon, on the subject of "Growing Democracy," said that Japan has arrived as a great modern state, and is producing her share of additional knowledge and culture to this age.
Asia, the home of more than one-half of the world's population, whose history dates farther back than that of any other peoples, has broken from its past, and accomplished in the last sixty years what it took European nations six hundred years ago. It was lost from obscurity and weakness and complete fetalation in less than two centuries.
The first step in this direction was to abolish feudalism. The last remnant disappeared in 1875, and in 1885 civil service was established. Japan actually jumped from mediocre to greatness between 1876 and 1885. Japan showed what she could do when she crushed China in less than a month in 1895. She gave further proof that she had arrived in the manner in which she defeated Russia and in the civilized one in which she made peace in 1904.
What Japan has done, other Asian people can do. China, which has ten times the population of Japan, is seeking self government and is making a mess of it. That is the cause of all the trouble in China today. It is the reason toward democracy and Professor Davis feels assured that in a generation, China will have some type of democratic government. As yet, she has been unable to suppress the powers of the military governors. It is Professor Davis' belief that the military regime will colludate right, for the military regime is not the productive government of 'oday'.
