There are schools in this city In which there

Of 'readin', 'ritin' and 'Tithmetic" and kindred
studies play no part. They form a large group
of special schools There is a school devoted ex-
clusvely to the study by correspondence and
many institutions in which only typewriting
and stenography are taught, although these
branches are embraced in nearly all the business
college courses. There are several schools Of

The agricultural college Is also recent eou-
cational development which has grown greatly
in the last few years The school near this city
has accomplished much in its short career
There are according to the report Of the Secre-
tary of Agriculture about five thousand stu
dents in the various agricultural colleges
There are thousands of ambitious young peo-
pie who cannot attend the special schools be
cause their homes are at too great distance
from them For these people the correspond

subject he must go to q special school The
want has been met by many able men IN this
city and the special schools flourish and the
regular schools do not suffer"
Among the institutions which come under the
head Of "special' the business colleges We're the
first TO attract pupils In the early days Of the
business college the course was simple one in
comparison with the through which the
student must go today in order TO receive a
diploma. Bookkeeping, arithmetic and simple
office and counting house methods constituted
the business course in the early schools of that
kind, While now the student is made familiar
with shorthand typewrtIng, commercial law
and all the modern methods Of business. The
demand for commercial education became so
great after the business college became an
acknowledged institution that public schools of
that kind were established. These aimed to give
the students the same class of instruction as
they received at the private schools, and in
order to make the latter more efficient new feat
ures were introduced, better instructors were
engaged and the standard elevated. The COM
petition has been a great advantage to the
young men and young women who attend the
schools.
Many Of the business schools in order to give
the students as much practical knowledge as
possible in the six months course, have estab-
Hshed model offices, and in these business is
carried on with close attention to the smallest
detail 50 that when the graduate finds en-
ploy1nent in a commercial concern he does not
enter unknown territory Nearly every one OF
the good schools has employment depart
meut through which the students usually find
positions when they have been graduated.
The military school is another institution
which has been greatly improved in the last ten
years. Military driu in schools was a form OF
play at time, and was result of the spirit
which pervaded the country at the time of and
shortly after the Civil War But it found
that military instruction, discipline and uni
forms had good effect the boys. They be-
came self-reliant. obeiient, competent to give
well as execute order. and the military
work improved their physical condition The
play drills became regular features of the school
day. and parents soon preferred the military
schools for their boys because of these ad-
vantages. Where boy with rudimentary
knowledge OF military tactics once con-
sidcred good enough to instruct the boys in their
military studies experienced officers are now
employed. and the War Department details an
officer instructor to nine schools in the State
of NeW-York in each OF which there more
than one hundred boys in the military class.
In some of these schools the work has been
