high as $25 a week when they have be-
come acquainted with the business they
have taken up.
E. C. A. Becker has been in the field
II years. He has two prescribed cours-
es, the business and stenographlc course.
In the business course, bookkeeping,
office, practice, correspondence, spelling,
penmanship, business arithmetic, bus
mess law, rapid calculation, actual
business practice, including banking, are
taught In the other course, short
hand, typewriting, composition and
correspondence, spelling, copying and
filing of letters, nianifolding and dupli-
eating, are taught. Besides there is a
special course in which any of the
branches in which a student finds him
self deficient, are taught. Last year a
class of SO was graduated and all but
six or seven have been placed in posi-
tons. The demand has been great and
not less than so of this years class in
addition have been placed in employ
ment. Besides this the principal has re-
jected more than 40 additional offers
because of the scanty supply. Four Of
his pupils have been placed with one
concern within the last eight months.
The average attendance for the year
has been about 50. The graduation ex-
ercises of the school will take place
June 80 and the year will begin August

The other commercial school was
founded three years ago by E. p.

some of the more modern methods, the
most noticeable being In the method
of teaching typewriting. The pupils are
taught to do the work by touch, enabl-
ing them to work much faster and fully
as accurately as by the old method.
The student entering the Childs' col
lege is supplied with a complete office
outfit and during his course he conducts
a practical business and banking sys-
tenn and gains a thorough and COM
plete knowledge Of the intricacies of
business life.
In the typewriting department each
student is required 10 take half doz-
en- to a dozen letters from dictation
each day and besides each pupil must
devote specified time for rapid calcu-
lations and bill-making to perfect
himself in the bookkeeping and busi-
ness department.
The graduation exercises of the
school will be held this year June 30
in Washburn hall and Mayor Rufus
B. Dodge, Jr., has consented to deliv-
er an address to the graduates. Thir-
ty students will be graduated 16 il

departments. Twelve of them are go
ing to positions Immediately and Mrs
Childs is assured that the others will
be quickly placed.

shooter who has been a follower of the
sport locally for many years and has
shot in all sections of the east, had this
to say to The Spy man yesterday:
There is but one solution to the diff
Guilty. The sport is in the hands of the
target makers and ammunition men.
The shooter cuts less and less figure in
the game. He is altogether ignored.
Clubs are encouraged to throw targets
and keep throwing and the ammunition
concerns follow suit. in the knowledge
that every time a gun cracks it means
about four cents to be divided between
them. The social feature that used to
mark the old-tine shoots gone. alto
gether. The manufacturers are to blame
and unless they take their hands off the
sport before it is too late the fun will
be killed as dead as roller skating is
internal strife and petty jealousy
within the clubs have had something
to do in bringing about prevailing con-
ditionS, but these are soon over, while
the paid representatives are always
with us. There was time when the
clubs catered to these professionals and
made strong bid for their attendance
at tournaments, but that time is past.
They are now recognized as a bane to
any shoot of any club. They shoot the
program, to be sure, and the club is
gamer by few hundred more targets
thrown and the consequent profit for
the day. But the baneful effect of the
presence of these men is far-reaching.
When it Is known that one of these
crackerjacks is entered in the sweeps,
the fun is off for a large percentage of
shooters. There is no use in competing
against them, and the poor shooter is
discouraged There is scarcely a tour
nament of any prominence announced
by any club in New England, but one
one or two or perhaps half dozen of
these men, paid to shoot some load, or
talk some wad, or laud some powder,
or represent some make of targets, puts
in an appearance to spoil the day for
50 per cent of the club members.
This was never better illustrated than
at last weeks shoot at Leominster.
That, you know, is Federhan's home,
He has made the claim in the press
that he is not a professional and be
that as it may, he is a topnOtcher. l
heard the story the other day that
when he entered for the sweeps a fsw
guns withdrew and others shot simp
" for the targets. Federhan walked
into the money, took about everything
in sight and one by one the shooters
lost interest. The result is that the
Leominster club will probably not hold
another shoot for some time unless
the good man leaves town, and that
shoot did more to discourage the sport
than a season of inactivity. 1t works
the same the country over. The good
shooters, paid by some firm to I'd. k
shop, and to travel and shoot, are kill
ing interest. When a club lifts its
head above water long enough to call
for mercy, and ask for the withdrawal
of the professionals then a new crop
of shooters will come up and many Of
the old timers who are disguised with
the present state of affairs, will be on
" too glad to return to the traps. In
terest is just as keen as ever. The
trouble lies in the fact that there is no
inducement to shoot against sure Win
ners"
