COMMERCIAL. To a student expecting to enter college the commercial course offers many advantages. Often one can pay his expenses in college if he has a knowledge of Shorthand and Typewriting. The writer has known of two instances during the past year where a college president was willing to allow all expenses in return for clerical work. A golden opportunity for some one knowing Shorthand and Typewriting! Is the commercial course recognized as a constituent part of high school education? Let us look to Columbia University for our answer—the largest University in the United States offers instruction in Shorthand. To the student who is to enter upon a business career the commercial course offers his sole reasonable hope of success. The well trained and competent commercial graduate need never be out of employment. The Commercial Department of the McClellandtown High School has been intact the past year. The Palmer Method of Business Writing has been continued. Certificates in Penmanship, signed by A. N. Palmer, are issued to students satisfactorily completing the prescribed exercises. The Southwestern Publishing Co. have awarded several Bookkeeping Certificates. Free assistance in securing employment is given by this company to holders of these certificates. The Spencerian system of Shorthand is taught. This system is easy to write, easy to read, and capable of the highest speed. It is extensively taught throughout the United States in schools of the very best standing. Among such may be mentioned Eastman Business College, New York. Prof. Fairman is well qualified to teach this system, his Shorthand Diploma being signed by L. C. Spencer, the author.
