Face to Face With Roffer W. Bahson A Statistician Who States (By Joe Mitchell Chappie) There are Americans who can figure romance us well as interest in statistics. Reger \V. Bahson has t> unique classification as a profession al man—it stands out as solitary as a lone pine tree—Statistician. He has carried the reputation of statistical expert ever since he was born amid the rugged rocks of Gloucester, Massachusetts, tn 1875. The son of a retired merchant and banker, he buttled his playmates at the High School with statistics that covered the blackboard and calculated the scales on the hack of a cod fish. The high and low tide of Gloucester for years past was known to him before he had read ''Robinson Crusoe.” "Figures are a simple and graphic form of experience and I am astounded that anyone should assert that statistics are a meaningless total. Applying the law of averages, determining the cause and effect is only working out the law of probabilities, which is as immutable as Newton's law of gravitation." In his college days at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology young' Bahson was recognized as an expert in figures, carrying them in his head rather than .n note-books. When he graduated he made a Job for himself as ‘'statistician” in a bond hjyusc. Here he developed Ihe idea of studying securities in the interest of purchasers from a law of averages i and observing facts. His health failing.

A rather tall, slender man, with a Vandyke heard and deep-set eyes, he Is very earnest in his conversation. His ideal has been co-operative and profit-sharing plans among mamtfar turers and wage-earners. He has written many books on business conditions in which he expressed him self strongly on business ethics. During the war Roger Bahson rendered important service in maintain ing friendly relations between labor and capital. He saw the deflative revolution coming on after war conditions ami gave warning. From Balwon's offices at Wellesley a veritable current of information is mailed every hour of the day. Fellow of the Royal Statistieii Boc'ety of London, his first hook, "Business Barometers,” followed by "Selected Investments,” arc classed as valuable contributions to the bust ness literature of the times. In the new town or village which he has created in Wellesley Hills. Massacbu j setts, and in Florida. Reger Bakson has made waste places blossom as the rose, with the irrepressible vision: of a statistician. “When you stop to think about It—about all we have is the Future,” said Mr. Babsou. his eves narrowing under his heavy eyebcows. "Yesterday Is! past. Now is fleeing; It Is the future we are living for. hut buw few people realize that the past la only light offered for a Judgment on the present, and a real gu do to the future.”
