The largest collection of old ac-( countant books in Michigan, and, ex-( cluding Columbia University's col-1 lection. the oldest in the United States, is possessed by Mr. F. E. Ross of Paton and Ross, certified public I] accountants, Ann Arbor. The collection dates back to Eng- j land in 1649, when the Earl of Dum-) forming and the Earl of Rothas hadl their expenditures taxulated-in ank artistically and utterly unintelligible hand. This, while the oldest, is not Mr. Ross' only record written in the seventtenth century. There is alsol Stephen Montague's "Debtor and Creditor Made Easier," published in 1675, "Advise to Women and Maidens j of London" (it really is an account- i ant book), published in 1678, and a hand script record written in 1682. Advises Women The "Advise to Women and Maid- ens," written, the title page says, "by one of their sex," shows "that instead of their usual Pastime; and education in needle work, lace, and paint-mak- ing, it were far more Necessary and Profitable to apply themselves to the right understanding and Practice of the method of keeping books of ac- count; whereby, either single or mar-I ried, they may know their Estates, carry on their Trade, and avoid the Danger of a helpless and forlorn Con- dition, incident to Widows." A typical London daughter is given so much a month as an allowance trom ner father, and the author tab- ulates the daughter's expenses. These expenses are considerable. For onI one day the daughter buys, "fish, a twelfth-tide cake, bread, soap and bluing, fagots, needles, trolly lace, bacon, eggs, and (the Womens Chris- tian Temperance Union will please take notice). Most prized of all the books in the. collection is that written in 1632. It concerns "money received by John Gordonne upon the account of the Earl of Aberdeen, Lord High Chan-t cellor of Scotland, from 10th of May to 20th da yof October, in the year 1862." Perhaps the boos most applicablez to modern times is "The South Sea Bubble," published in 1825, "as al beacon to the unwary against modern schemes equally visionary and ne- farious."l Applicable Today One phrase from this book might have been written but yesterday in description of the 1920's. Substitute "all Street" for "South Sea project" and "republic" for "'kingdom" in the following quotation and see what re- sults: "The wand of the enchanter seem- ed but to touch any substance, and it was instantly converted into gold; and the South Sea project continued to be applauded to the very skies by the unprincipled and the unthinking, until its fatal catastrophe plunged thousands of both into one common abyss of ruin. It was patronized by the first characters of the kingdom, by persons of both sexes, in the high- est walks of society." Apt Verse Not all of "The South Sea Bubble" is quite so serious. One poem, which also might be applicable to the days of 1927, '28 and '29, treats the sub- ject with a happy lack of seriousness. Five hundred millions, notes and bonds, Our stocks are worth in value. But neither lie in goods or lands. Or money, let me tell you. Yet though our foreign trade is lost, Of mighty wealth we vapour, When all the riches that we boast Consist in scraps of paper. Asserting that no kind of society can long exist with a great part of its members constantly facing job in- security and kept at a mere "tread- mill existence," Miss Alice M. Le- Blanc, North Attleborough, Mass., in her thesis for the degree of bachelor of arts at the University of Wiscon- sin, maintains that from a social point of view compulsory unemploy- ment insurance legislation is "'ter- ribly necessary" in America. Pointing out that there is no im- portant industrial country in the -world without a system of compulsory unemployment insurance, and that the United States has the advantage of benefitting by the varied experi- ences of a number of nations, Miss LeBlanc expresses the hope that this prolonged depression will ultimately produce in America a sound system for dealing with unemployment in good times as well as bad. Entitled "Compulsory Unemploy- ment Insurance for America," the thesis reviews the unemployment in- surance act of Great Britain, and various methods of dealing with un- employment in America. High praise is accorded Wisconsin for being the first state in the Union to enact a compulsory unemployment insurance measure for the protection of its workers Field selection of seed corn before frost to secure a good quality for seed for next year is urged by Iowa State college.
