Among the many expenses that Wall

the item for flowers with which they
brighten and adorn their offices. Winter

There are certain differences between the
systems of commercial education and in
deed OF education generally as adopted in
Bavaria, Saxony and Prussia. The mer-
camille schools are well attended and they
are practically independent of government
aid. Several Of the real schools have
a commercial department., but besides
these there are in Germany seventeen
special schools Of commerce, the leaving
certificate of which is recognized as con-
ferrlng the right of one years military
service; nine middle schools with less
extended curriculum, and large number
OF evening schools, which are attended by
clerks, merchants apprentices, and other
persons engaged in mercantile houses.
With the view of meeting the require
ments of young men who desire to attend
special courses of instruction on COM
mercial subjects some OF the polytechnic
schools of Germany have arranged courses
Of lectures, which are intended for those
who are seeking places under the govern
ment in the customs and excise offices,
but are followed by other students who
have received their early education at q
gymnasium or realschule and whose cir
cumstances enable them to spend year
or two at college before commencing BUSH
ness.
In Austria Hungary there are nine high
schools of commerce, eleven intermediate
schools. and forty 1.-TWO schools intended
principally for clerks. There is nothing
that calls for special notice In the subjects
of instruction in these schools. The course
Of study is very similar to that in the
corresponding schools of Germany. The
most important of the high schools is
in Vienna and is known as the Handles
academic. 1t gives two courses of in
struction, the one occupying three years
and the other two years. The subjects of
instruction are nearly the same as those
of the French high schools.
