r the: Bi ui: print The School of Commerce T the present time the business conditions, especially in the south, are not as good as they might be. In order that these conditions may get back to normal as soon as possible, men who know the ins and outs of business in all its phases must take the reins; men who can see what needs to be done and also know the best and most efficient way to do it. Men of this type are not easily found. It takes a thorough training to acquire this ability and there are two ways of getting it. One is by long experience and the other by pi-oper education. The first is at once inadequate and will do little toward alleviating the present crisis. It is therefore to the man with the education that we must turn. The School of Commerce at Geor- gia Tech is doing its best to give that training which is necessary in the most compact and efficient manner that is possible. The school operates both a day and night school ; the former confer- ring a degree of Bachelor of Science in Commerce for four years woi-k, and the latter a degree of Bachelor of Commercial Science for two years work combined with two years of practical business experience. The Co-Operative Plan This plan has been offered by Georgia Tecli for the last ten years and is continually liecoming more and more popular. It gives the man who must support himself while getting his education a fair chance to go through college and make out with his finances also. The course extends over five years and the men alternately work and go to school. One man has a job at which he works for four weeks while his partner goes to school. At the end of that time they change places and in this way a man is able to earn enough to put him through school and get good practical expe- rience on the side. There are two courses offered: a course in General Engineering which is a combination of Electrical and Mechanical Engineering and gives a degree of Bachelor of Science in Engineering, and a course in Textile Engineering which confers the degree of Bachelor of Science in Textile Engineering, Co-operative Plan. The Department Of Automobile Engineering This department comes under tlie jurisdiction of the Department of Mechanical Engineering and the course is identical up until the senior year when automotive subjects are substituted for the Steam Engineering subjects ill the regular : Iechanical course. The degree conferred is Bach- elor of Science in Mechanical Engineering. The object of the course is to fit a young man to enter the automobile industry. The subject is gone into thoroughly and the course is recog- nized as an excellent one. Twenty-five m m
