Heco3iiou movomout could bo promptly

havo a population of 103,iO8,CO3 l.i
1D00.
Ho busod this prediction on tho per
centage of Incrunso In papulation from
1700 ti 18G0. Tho Increaaj fio.n 179)
to 1800 was a lltt'.o over 35 per cent.
From 1S0O to 1810, tho Increaso wn
3G.05 por cent. Thuro was a dcc'.luo In
tho ratio of increase in tho nex' de
ado, but Jn 1850 thoro was an IncroiBO
of 35.87 por cont. and in 1809 an In
croaso ot 35.58 por ctut, making un
uvorugo duccnnlul lucrensa of 34.01 per
cent in population for tho seven y
yoarH from 1700 to 18C0.
Assuming that thU ratio of Increase
would bo malutnluod, Mr. Lincoln pro
dlctod that tho Jnltd 8 a'oj won d
iiavo a population of 43,323 000 lu 1870,
50.907,000 In 1880, 70,077.000 In 18)0,
103.208,000 la 1900, 138,918,000 lu 1010,
180,984,000 lu 1020, and 2G1,G8),0)0 in
1930.

of lnnroaso wont up to 30 por cont lu
1880, dropped to 21.83 por cant In 1?J0,
and to 21,83 por cent for tho dncalo
oudlug with 1900.
Tho population In 1S70 failed to

Wo find our greatest trade with tho

A "Business Education.
Prosldent Forgnu of tho First N
tlonul bank of Chicago, has added bis
testimony to that ot othei loading Cfci
cngoans In regard to tho shortcomings
of our public schools in teaching tno
rudlmonts of a practical business edu
cation. In his address beforo tho
craduutlng cIbbs of Lake Forest Uni
versity ho outlined tho educational
qualifications which ho regards as
most helpful In attaining success in a
business career. They aro few and
simple:
1. To bo able to write a good logluio
hand, to mako good figures, and to
pluco them correctly tho units bo
low tho units, tho tens below tho tens,
and so on.
2. To bo nblo to add, subtract and
multiply rapidly and accurately.
3. To bo atflo to exprosB yourself
clearly, briefly and grammatically lu a
letter and to spell the words correct
iy.
Elementary as these qualifications
ore, Mr. Forgan says the young men
who possess them are raro, Though
ha has taken many youths Into bus!
ncss, he soya ho can remember scarce
ly ono who could be relied upon to do
tho Blniplo things Just enumerated,
Many ot them were graduates ot high
schools, yot they could not always
write legibly, figure accurately, or spell
correctly. l'orhap3 thoy could write
a thesis on mythology, physiology or
biology, but they had not mastered
the first rudlmonts ot tho business In
which thoy hoped to mako a livelihood.
Mr. Forgan suyo thoro must bo some
thing wrong with n school system
that produces these results, and his
belief Is Bhared by nearly every buc
cesstul business man who employs
young men nnd women.
