With sufficient technical training, practical efficiency, and background a student should know the right thing to do at the right time without being told, as well as how to keep his mind focussed on his work, thus avoiding errors, for the modern business man has more on his shoulders than he can comfortably carry without the intelligent help of his assistants. To be able to make a good impression on others will prove lastingly beneficial to any one, particularly to a person wishing to enter the business world, together with personality and a gracious ease in meeting people. Besides these secretarial assets a student needs to develop patience and self- reliance, for others will measure him by the confidence he has in himself. The progress of the commercial student or secretary depends upon his energy and ability to put himself into his work with the power to accomplish. In a school like Spring Arbor that power to accomplish will urge a youth to launch his services more successfully in his vocational as well as Christian life. Almost anybody can do business fairly well. Many men can do business very well. A few can do business superbly well. But the man who not only does his work superbly well, but adds to it the personal touch through great zeal, patience, and persistence, making it peculiar, unique, individual, distinct, and unforgettable, is an artist .-Elbert Hubbard.

Through the sixty years of Spring Arbor's history many men and women have been prepared for Christian service. The Bible School has always been regarded part of the worlc of the Seminary. as a most essential As an inducement to young men looking toward the ministry and to those already engaged in such work, the curriculum has been specially arranged so that upon completion of the Bible Training course the student will have met the study requirements as outlined for preachers in the church discipline. High school graduates may complete the course in two years and receive college credit for this worlc. During the past year about sixty students have been registered for courses in the Bible De- partment. Ar least sixteen of these expect to enter the ministry of the Free Methodist Church. LE ROY M.

It is very essential that every young girl in high school or college should take a course in home economics, so that she may be better qualified to fit into that future home that every young person desires. In our cooking class the first semester we learned how to prepare meals with balanced rations and how to make the food more palatable. In our sewing class the second semester our proj- ects consisted of the simplest forms of needle work-such as, darning stockings, to the more complicated work of dress-making. We learned in the household problems course that the home is first of all for use and com- fort, that household decorations that imply the necessity of too much care or that easily become marred cannot produce the pleasant or restful feeling which is necessary to make beauty enjoy- able. We were led to see that an over-ornamented house and an over-dressed person produce the same effect-they both express an essentially uncultivated taste. All furniture, should have an excuse for being. No temptation in the direction of giving elaborate teas and dinners, entertaining company, canning and preserving fruit in the fall, or even getting the spring sewing done should be allowed to overcome the housewife's judgment as to the importance of such work. As far as possible, her first duty should be to be a cheerful, healthy, happy, and loving woman, and all work that tends to prevent her from fulfilling this duty is comparatively unimportant and had better be left undone. We conclude from our study of the budget plan that it eliminates many of the financial difficulties of the home by better enabling one to form judgments and check mistakes. It is a safeguard for spending money, which fact enables us to get more pleasure out of buying, and this in the end makes for happier families. In short, we are learning to swim, so that we shall not sink when we are struggling through the deep sea of life. VIOLET A. DODDS.
