Both Day and Evening D . . epartments are progressing strongly and expanding solidly. The introduction, this year, of placement training for the Seni f th ors o e Day School, is an innovation which has worked out with success. The addition of cultural subjects to the regular Commerce and Finance studies, which has beengradually enlarged within the last few years, is adding variety and tone to the course without interfering with solid training in the more practical matters. It has been found that better results are obtained by extending these cultural subjects over the entire course, rather than by conf centrating them in the Freshman and Sophomore years. The need for the type of education offered in the School of Commerce and Finance isbecoming daily more apparent. Modern business is keen for capable men specially trained and willing to work. Moreover it is becoming quite apparent that Schools of this character can help the business man solve some of his most annoying problems and he is coming to realize what this means towards his success Unl l n 1 . ess u a l signs fail, the future should offer opportunities worthy of a very ambitious course of studies. ommerce and Finance is now in its seventeenth year.

hum School of Education news.. fwEs M-fb E GEORGE A. DEGLMAN, S. J. Dean T. LOUIS University opened the School of Education in September, 1925. Within the two years that have passed since itsinception, much has already been done to carry out the ideas of those who conceived the project. The School is organized on a fourfyear basis leading to the Bache1or's degree. Fully conscious however of the possibilities of more extensive influence, the School has achieved considerable results in solving the problems of the teaching Sisterhoods, in organizing the work of various schools, in establishing extension centres to provide for the needs of teachers, and in strengthening standards of professional work. E The year 19264927 opened with an enrollment of regular students which was 200 per cent more than that of the previous year, while the attendance in the late afternoon and Saturday courses is most gratifying. The number of students who are working towards a' degree has increased beyond all expectation. The School of Education is still young, but it is manifesting a strong vitality which augurs well for its future growth. GEORGE A. DEGLMAN, S. J. Page Nineteen

DAv1s, S. J. Regent HE School of Commerce and Finance is moving toward its objective strongly and with dispatch. Despite the apparent complexity of modern business viewed in its widest scope, a clear line of unity and simplicity is readily discernible through it all. The educational system that follows fairly in the path of this line must offer an adequate acquaintance with the theory and facts of production, distribution, finance, and accounting. But the larger need in this type of educational training is the cultivation of the power of analysis, the ability to study facts in their full environment. Once this analytic power is set at work, the vast accumulation of economic facts resolves itself into a few main groups which usually evidence a fairly close relationship. The biggest business enterprises of today are marked by a systematic and simple organization. With a decade and a half of expef rience, under the advice and counsel of men of wide acquaintance in varied fields of industry, the School of Commerce and Finance places great stress upon this factor of analysis in the treatment of its studies. The school has added to its regular Commerce curriculum additional studies in Ethics and Philosophy. ' ' JOSEPH L. DAVIS, S. J. Page Twenty-one
