Head Calls It Wasted Time Oxford, England, Dec. 17 () — Captains of industry in England are beginning to grow skeptical as !to the value of a college education for future business men. Even the century-old prestige of Oxford and Cambridge is being questioned, for in a recent inter- W. R. Morris, head of the Motor company, and known as “the Henry Ford of England,” declared that ‘“university training | is an absolute waste of time"” and “a severe handlicap in commercial life.” TUseless in Business In explaining his remarks, Mr. Morris said, “I have no high opin- ion of the value of universitics for education for such essentlally prac- tical purposes as industry or com- merce, in fact, a university train- ing is, from a business point of view, absolutely useless. “There are exceptions, I know. but I have never found a univer- sity trained man of any use in my organization, and I am going to say that ~for business a university training is an absolute waste of time. Lose Psychology of Workers “A university education will make a scholar, but it will not give those qualities essential for commerce and industry, if those qualities are not originally there. If they are, it is quite likely to obliterate them. It does not, for instance, give an understanding of the psychology of the workers in an industry. As one who went to work early in life in an engineering shop, I got my training in a prac- tical school, I know what the worker thinks. When I go through my factory among those thousands of men, [ know what they are thinking of me and of the conditions under which I ask them to work. My business depends as much for its success upon those men, as upon anything, and unless I, and those responsible with me for the control and management of the enterprise have that understanding of the workers, how can we hope for suc- cess? Neither Oxford, nor Cam- bridge, Yale or Harvard, will train that element into its students.

German cigar and cigarette smokers. “Please give me a Mght,” is one of the common requests of passenger to passenger in the numerous com- partments of railway and etreet cars where smoking 1is permitted.
