indefatigable Rev. William Rogers is

series of Glasses for statesmen" In these
the best features of the continental
schools are added to the particular require
ments of Englishmen. The routine of bus
mess is left to be learned in the business
itself, and the subjects taken are specific
in their relation to trade. Elocution is in
cluded on the ground that the cultivation
of the voice is of the first Importance for
a business man, and the ability to express
ones thoughts clearly and effectively is
essential in a salesman. Languages are
taught on a mastery" system. CONNER
cial conversations are arranged as be-
tween buyer ands seller, merchant and
clerk, in the foreign tongue Mock auc-
tons are instituted, in which every stu
dent is expected to bid or offer some OBJ
ject for sale. English is rarely heard
Shorthand is another subject, and such
rough sketching is taught as may assist
a salesman in his description of an arti-
Gle. Combinations in colors, textiles and
designs are also dealt with in this class as
far as they appeal to the respective trades
of the students. Trade lectures are also
given, and are supplemented when possible
by practical work where the student is
taught 10 microscopically. examine. anal

dealing with. SAMPLES of articles in the
various stages of production are form
