The commercial. (Union City, Tenn.) 190?-193?, 1907-06-07

1t is a pleasure to announce the
outline for the work of the coming
year, especially since that work re-
tains all that was best, yet adds
two new departments. In the High
School Department, instead of one
course of study, there will be three
college Preparatory, Commercial
and Art-thus furnishing a broad
field from which the student may
get his foundation. He will no
longer be narrowed to one line of
work. No course will be allowed
to suffer at the expense of the other,
and at the head of each department
or course is a teacher who is especi-
ally commended for training and
experience in that particular branch
of work.
The College Preparatory Course
will be maintained in all its integ-
rity and efficiency under the leader
ship OF the Superintendent, Uni
versity graduate, who will divide
his time between teaching and su-
pervision. In this department the
superintendent will have the able
assistance of Miss Nina Keiser, a
Vanderbilt woman with several
years experience in teaching. We
will have also the able assistance
of Miss Adrian Brevard, whose eff
cient work for the years she has
been with us is her ablest recon
mendation.
Of the work done in this depart
ment we simply point to the re-
suits. For the last two years the
several members of the graduating
class in the Vanderbilt preparatory
work have successfully passed all
the entrance examinations, with
such extremely commendable stand
ings as to elicit, both from Chancel-
lor Kirkland and Dean Moore the
highest kind of unsought praise
these gentlemen ranking our work
with the very best done in the State.
We proudly point to the results and
bid you think of this when inquir-
ing about our school This year in
our College preparatory work we
have entered the Junior Class in the
Vanderbilt preliminaries, and their
success was universal. Our faculty |
have the ability, judging not from
1hat they say, but what they have
done. Where individual instruc-
tion is necessary and commenda BILE,
our faculty never hesitates to give
its time to such pupils.
The Commercial Department will
be a new one. For some time it
has been manifest that our school
should offer some course in addi-
tion to the college preparatory tor
The benefit of those who have no
or inclination to, enter
college, but seek rather a fitting
for business. The Di-
'ectors are looking for the best
nan that the South can offer for
principal of this department, and
will spare nothing that will war
ant success. Offices, bank and
Tearing house will be constructed
n the school building in order that
he pupils may have the subjects
aught in practical way, with
modern methods. The best fea-
ures of the purely business' college
will be combined with a certain
mount Of cultural study from the
iigh School. Checks, notes, bills,
money, books, etc, will all be an ex-
ct reproduction of business. Sew {
raj typewriters will be installed i
or use in this department. While u
is advisable that one take the t
ull course, yet pupils may enter t
ny particular branch for which .
hey are qualified and which they r
lay elect. S
The course will include thorough b
'ork in commercial arithmetic, ge- d
graphy. business English and cor 8
sspondence penmanship, stenog- d
aphy. typewriting, bookkeeping c
single and double entry, banking. Il
