He proved an interesting talker, illustrating his address with stories which were unusually apt. He developed three points of contact between business and education. The first is the service rendered to the community by educated men such as physicians, lawyers, ministers, engineers, chemists, etc. The second is the matter of education Itself, because education is a mighty business enterprise and he quoted figures, showing by comparison, the costs of the modern school systems with fabulous wealth of historical fortunes. One of these was that the ransom of Richard the Llonhearted, raised by taxing every subject of England one-fourth of his movable property, would have kept the modern public school system running for Just six minutes.

The third point was tha question "how is business interested in the product of education the boys and girls?" He cited figures compiled by prominent educators which showed that the average boy or girl, who finished only the eighth grade would earn, in the remainder of his or her life, approximately $50,000. A graduate from High school will earn about $100,000 on the average and the college graduate, He showed how this money was spent for food, clothing, shelter, luxuries etc. each class having power to purchase to a great extent and of better materials and tracing these sources of supply down to the producer, -r He said that business men budget their school taxes without quibbling and elect men to direct their schools who have the best interests of their school at heart. In this they do well, and as a conclusion he made the suggestion that included in business mens budgets should be a provision for gifts to institutions of higher education.
