BUSINESS COURSE

Life, Attic Work Is Equally Popular
With the Girls.

course Of instruction at the four high
schools in Minneapolis. So report the
principals of the schools. In addition
they believe that the practical business
education the new course gives is keep
ing many boys in the high schools who
would otherwise leave and start in
business. The young men appreciate the
fact that everything taken up in this
course is for practical use the rest of
their lives, when school days are past.
1t IS hard to secure statistics on the
number taking these courses, for the
reason that many who are really in
other courses of study are taking spe-
clal subjects in the commercial courses
as well, and for this reason are to be
more or less counted as commercial stu
dents, tho enrolled in other courses. OF
those taking elective subjects in the
commercial course, the subject chosen
by most of the "specials - is CONNER
cial arithmetic f.t" 49,
All the high schools are better fitted
this: year, than last in the way of
along this line are in sight. Typewrit-
ers and stenographic rooms are in read
mess for use when the students get to
this part of the course, tho none of
the schools are as yet fitted up with
typewriters. Arrangements are now
Delng made to construct special bank
ing and commercial department. desks
and fittings in each of tie high schools
to-, the study of banking and nego.
table instruments. In this work Hstage
money! will be used, and the Hbank -
made as much of a reality as possible.
In all the high schools, the commercial
course classes are about evenly divided
between boys and girls. But in view
of the fact that all the schools contain
many more girls than boys, it is evident
that the commercial department is pop
ular with the young men.
At Central high school this year
there are 100 sophomores, and fully as
many more who entered the freshman
class at the beginning of the present
term. There are at least fifty students
OF other courses who are "specials'' in
commercial arithmetic.
At North high some fifty entered the
commercial course for the first time this
term, and thirty eight out of fifty who
were freshmen last year returned to be
come members of the sophomore class
South high reports thirty-fve fresh
men in the commercial course this year
with thirty-fve in the sophomore class
out of forty, who entered the course
the first of last year. At East high

feet in thickness have been discovered.
In the vicinity Of Cordova Bay, the
head Of which will be the Terminus OF OF
the road, are also found promising indl-
cations of oil and prospectors are al
ready at work seeking to develop con-
siderable flow. A road from Cordova
to Eagle will penetrate the. heart OF
Alaska, and undoubtedly lead to great
development, not only in the mining OF
coal and copper, but will stimulate plac-
| err mining in regions adjacent to this
line, while undoubtedly the Copper riv-

will some day be utilized with great
profit for agricultural purposes. Not

From the story given by some of the

Calgary and is composed Of some of the
best ran"e riders in the west. The hors-
es are specially trained for "bucking"
and are very vicious in their art, but are
thoroughly under control OF the riders,
and the show as a whole took well at the
