nd economics for the purpose of helping them prepare to succeed in a world economy.11 The organization is the largest of its kind.
Junior Achievement has gone through different stages in its development. 12 It was started by two business leaders, Horace Moses and Theodore Vail, and Senator Murray Crane in 1919 in Springfield, Massachusetts. The organization started with a small number of children aged ten to twelve. For more than 50 years, Junior Achievement programs met after school as a group of business clubs. But in 1975, Junior Achievement began to offer classes during school hours. Many more young people joined the organization once it began to teach business skills as part of the school day. In 2004, Junior Achievement Worldwide was formed.
The Junior Achievement programs teach about businesses, how they are organized, and how products are made and sold.13 The programs also teach about the American and world economies and business operations. Young people can learn how entrepreneurship works by operating their own companies. For instance, the students develop a product and sell shares in their company. They use the money to buy the materials they need to make their product, which they then sell. Finally, they return the profits to the people who bought shares in the company. It is reported that in the United States alone, there are more than 22,000 places that hold Junior Achievement events currently. According to Junior Achievement, about 287,000 volunteers support its programs around the world.

Wikipedia Imposes New Curbs (约束) on Editing Articles
Wikipedia, the famous online encyclopedia, is looking to impose more discipline with new restrictions on the editing of articles.
The latest changes come as Wikipedia tries to balance a need for credibility and a desire for openness. While anyone can still edit entries, the site is testing pages that won"t register changes until they are approved by an experienced Wikipedia editor. If the site"s users respond well to the test run, the new restrictions will apply to all entries for living people in the next few weeks.
The idea is to block the kind of vandalism(故意破坏 )that has damaged some pages. In one of the most recent embarrassments, US Democratic Senators Robert Byrd was prematurely declared dead by the editors. Still, Wikipedia risks discouraging legitimate editing if restrictions on changes or additions become too burdensome, keeping articles from getting better or keeping up with events.
That may be especially true on more obscure pages with fewer active volunteers to approve edits timely.Aware of the risks, Wikipedia has set the criteria for "experienced editor" status relatively low.Users who are registered for a few days can give changes, said Jay Walsh, a spokesman for the nonprofit Wikimedia Foundation, which runs the site.
A more uniform. system for filtering changes on Wikipedia represents a step back from the site"s original philosophy, which called for creating the collective knowledge of volunteer editors without any major restrictions.
Some observers believe Wikipedia must continue tightening editing policies if it wants to gain credibility. "I"m just waiting for the other shoe to drop," said Erie Goldman, director of the High Tech Law Institute at the Santa Clara University School of Law. "My hope is that Wikipedia still exists and is still considered a useful site," Goldman said. "But it will be at that point a very tightly controlled site. It won"t have that veneer (外表) of a site that anyone can contribute to. They haven"t closed the drawbridge (吊桥) . People can still get in. But it keeps going up and up and up."
Separately, the Omidyar Network, a philanthropic (博爱的,慈善的 ) investment group started by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, said on Tuesday it is committing $2 million over two years to the Wikimedia Foundation. Omidyar Network"s grant will support Wikimedia"s goals of bringing free educational content to people around the world and supporting more people to help create that content.
