We Amercians don’t work as “hard” as the workers in other countries, but we have more. It makes us wonder why we look with yearning on their political and so cial schemes.

States and the Federal Government much more than they pay to their owners.

It isn’t sensible; it is ; ridiculous. America is thinking of religion on , a great scale. Of course religion never changes; we may have So cialism in Britain and Communism in Russia; and we may have mil lions of church members and seek millions of converts, but religion is thoroughly individualistic, though cooperative. “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.” That is the note of the individual: he is an earnest suppliant seeking the mercy of Jehovah and the new lifxx ♦ Yy 1 ffV-i ♦ Vi c* JjA ftk outntf^oik tible life through the atoning blood of Jesus. Nothing is more individual istic than the sinner standing be- : fore his Maker. Here in South Carolina are the ' signs of revived spiritual zeal. Hete 1 are signs of mass efforts which will i reach the individual heart. Strange ly enough the individual heart, multiplied, is the mass effort; and the mass effort reaches other hearts. Let’s see what is going on. Our papers are telling of certain special ; activities among the Presbyterians, j Methodists and Baptists. A short time ago the Catholics were in Columbia in special confer ences. The other brethren, also, are always active in carrying on great programs. I’ve read of South Carolina young Presbyterian adults in session. Among the topics I read that Mr. Hdimes Simmons, Jr., of Anderson, discussed “Christ in my Business.” That is getting down to the real bedrock, for it is presenting the transforming power in its deep hundred Methodists came bia to attend a Christian Workers Training School In die daily press were several quotations from speakers. Said Dr. J. O. J. Taylor: “I have never in my life seen so many people hungry for a spiritual message. That, as Simon Peter said, is the word of eternal life. Of all things, of all interests and concerns, eternal life is our chief thought. Said Dr. Taylor, U dUMUI llli reality.

On billboards, in the papers, in the churches—all about you see the advertising that is being used as an awakening. All the methods of business are being ap plied to arouse the people to the deep and abiding things which fat transcend the absorptions of the day. The slogan seen everywhere is “Christ is the answer.” It is an other way of saying “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and his right- eousness; and all these things be added unto you.” As Phul the great Apostle said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ; for it is the power at God to salvation.” Truly it wi£ confront Babson Park, Fla.— Closer co operation between business and education may save our private in stitutions of higher learning and, at the same time, bring about in creased profits for business. Educa tion and business, working hand in hand, can also make themselves of greater value to the country in this national emergency. One of the soundest ways to pre serve private enterprise is to give financial aid to young and needy potential business executives study ing in colleges which are especially appreciative of American business and sympathetic to its problems. Most professional colleges of bus iness have this point of view. Young men therein educated are of especial value to business. They not only learn specialized tech niques; but they also acquire a sound philosophy of American bus iness. Business needs such young men. Business also needs the brains and research facilities of the colleges. Many small and middle-sized com panies cannot hope, by themselves, to keep pace with the research of big business; but by pooling their efforts with the colleges, their use- The College Needs Business In these times of partial mobil ization and declining enrollments, the college needs the help of bus iness. Education is the bulwark of democracy. If America is to win the batle of ideologies, it will be by brains — not by brawn. The sur vival of private enterprise is, there fore, closely tied to the survival of our educational institutions. To sur vive, our colleges greatly need the financial support of business, which should feel obligated to help keep our system of higher education. Colleges today are in a precar ious position. They are victims of war-time economy. With de velopment, taxes, etc. Refresher group conferences for foreman, sales manager, bankers and ac countants can do much to keep both business and education on their toes. creased income from tuitions and inflated costs of operation, plus be ing buildings-and-land poor, with income from endowments inade quate, colleges are having rough going. Some are already operating in the red. Many more will lose money next year. A cooperative venture between business and ed ucation is therefore, an intelligent solution to many of the problems of both groups. Ways of Cooperation Many colleges are already doing a vast amount of technical research for government and business: Bos ton university in optics; Georgia Tech in areonautical engineering; U iversity of California in goods; University of Wisconsin in naval research; Stanford in radio; Mich igan State in fuel: Massochusetts Institute of Technology in manufac turing; Babson Institute in market ing — to mention a very few. Other possible areas of coopera tion are workshop seminars for top management. These are custom- built courses of short duration to meet specific industry and company problems in consumer research, marketing, advertising, product de- Financial Engineering Yale university has pointed the way in research in labor relations with its labor-management center. Whole new areas are practically un explored — such as atomic war fare, business decentralization and traffic problems. Other areas are job evaluation, job satisfaction, cor poration conduct, public relations, organizational communication, cor porate finance and statistics. The subject of taxes alone offers rich possibilities for business-col legiate cooperation. Taxes have be come far greater than a legal ques tion. We have in the U. S. A. one of the strongest potential working teams any country" has ever knwon: icilit the research facilities of education and the wealth facilities of business. In harness together they can become invaluable helpmates. Now is the time to build our team and keep our country strong. SUBSCRIBE TO THE CHRONICLE PROFESSIONAL NOTICE dr. iames w.
