'Trng I'4lQl'QIVlEf To those who intend entering a course which more or less definitely leads to a profession, it is the advice of a well-known professor to try and obtain a little practical experience before making the final decision. Too often the things we like best in theory are distasteful in practice. Commerce and Finance is a good example of a course of this type-it is a training for clerical work. It is, therefore, advisable for one contemplating entering this course to take an office position for a few months. Before deciding our course it is of utmost importance to obtain from the university a copy of the calendar which contains the description of all the courses. By consulting this and always remembering the two things mentioned above-aptitude and objective-we ought to be able to choose with fair accuracy, but if our choice turns out to be a poor one, let us not hesitate to change it. What does a wasted year mean when compared with a whole life of uncongenial toil. -F. C0l7ll7'II, ll'-.I. Uur New Teachers Mr. R. P. LaPierre is a graduate of Queens University and a specialist in French and History. He has taught eight years, four of which were at Point-aux-Trembles. He also represented his country during the Great War, 1914-1918. A native of Quebec, his mother tongue is French.
