DEMAND FOR GRADUATES.
AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL LIFE*
PRACTICAL TRAINING GIVEN.
[IIY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT.] WELLINGTON, Thursday.
Impressions of university life in th# United States of America were given by Dr. R. M. Campbell, formerly on the staff of the Prime Minister's Department, who recently returned to Wellington. "With such a high percentage of university students one might expect to find graduates unemployed, but until recently that was not the case," said Dr. Campbell. "Graduates of universities are given work in, remunerative em* ployment as fast as the universities can turn them out. Business and educa.tion co-operate in the work of furnishing recruits to industry. Of course the instruction is intensely practical. Students spend their time in studying stock exchange figures and balance-sheets, and will spend, a year: in one of their courses buying and selling imaginary supplies of goods, the. results being checked up at the end of the period. Such students have an immediate money-making ability and business value. "Students also work harder than in England or New Zealand. Their universities are open 11 months of "tile ycaiyhence the need for large staffs." .
