officers of the American army. Certificates showing the right of membership were even issued by Washington to many and so it was in the case of Beverly Harwood, forefather of the hero of Mr. Scott’s tale. The characters shown in this story are handled in the same manner as those shown in his former works. It seems almost like a continuation of his former romances. It requires a mere twist of the pen by Mr. Scott to create one of his high-gaited characters having both the courage of a distinguished officer and a trace of royal blood. “The Woman in Question” will hold the interest of the reader to the end and the finish will give satisfaction and pleasant remembrances.
Charles Felton Pidgin has come forward with a very interesting work of fiction, entitled “The Further Adventures of Quincy Adams Sawyer and Mason Corner Folks.” It is now eight years since Mr. Pidgin first captivated the public with his “Mason Comer Folks.” To quite an unusual degree Mr. Pidgin had the reviewers and the public of one opinion. The present work, it must be understood, is not a sequel to his former great efforts with which it will be compared. He feels that this work will merely bring back to his readers friends of former days for a new acquaintance. He hopes they will have as much enjoyment upon this as upon the former occasion. The work is fully illustrated and is beautifully bound in a three-color cover, and published by L. C. Page & Co., of Boston. It is quite as appropriate for young folks as for older readers and will improve both the literary style and the powers of observation of any who may read it.

(Continued from page 7)
“The Woman in Question” is a new novel by John Reed Scott, author of “The Colonel of the Red Huzzars,” and it will be an equally popular story. The book is illustrated in color by Clarence F. Underwood and is published by J. B. Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia and London. Mr. Scott’s previous works have proven a hit with the public, and when it comes to weaving a web of mystery or to constructing a story of romance, Mr. Scott is the peer of any living-writer. “The Colonel of the Red Huzzars” has gone through twelve editions and is selling in every country where there is any demand for literature.
The heroine of the new tale is a talented, beautiful, young widow. The hero is a member of the society of Cincinnati which was organized at the close of the revolutionary war by the
at large is this expenditure justified. We must not depart from the fundamental principle that so far as the individual is concerned, he will get the most out of what he gives himself, but the end we work for is the state and public.
The University
“Now to come home to the state of Montana. As president of your state university I have been given the privilege and duty of looking over the field and trying to forsee some things of the future. I hope that we in Montana will provide a system of professional education through the state university, not merely for what we now have, for training in engineering, but for training in various other professions. There is positive demand for education in the business of law. the business of medicine, the business of dentistry, and business in a commercial sense. I wonder if many of you are aware that the last legislature imposed upon the university the responsibility of managing a system of public accountancy; that is, we have to issue certificates as to the capability of certified public accountants. The university has only elementary courses upon subjects of this nature, and if a young man in Montana wishes to take a course for a certified public accountant he must get his education outside of the state. We say to him you cannot become a certified public accountant without a certain technical training for that business. We also say to him, you cannot get that education in Montana, go to Illinois or to New York if you want to get that. We do the same thing in law, saying, you must have a certain technical training, which you may get in a lawyer’s office here in Missoula, but you will have to be an office boy for years and pick up law on the side if you can.
“I have gained my purpose if besides the honor and pleasure of making your acquaintance in this opportunity to address you, I have shown to you that business education gets good results, as shown by experience; and if I have suggested to
