The Commercial Course
The cost to the average student of TAX
ing the combined stenographic and COM
merical course at any of the nearby busi-
ness colleges would be s240a year, or $3.50
for the two years. This includes books,
board, tuition, etc.
We have this year enrolled at Elkton
IL students and at Chesapeake City
stHdenta, making Q total Of 90 students.
II the cost to the average student is $240
year, for 90 students this would be 3
cost Of $500. The total appropriation
from. the State is $1,000 for each school,
or $1,000 in all. We therefore are ex-
pending $4,000 and getting return of $500 |
or clear preft of $500. If we allow 81
for the actual cost of boarding at home,
il would cost each student for board at
home for SO weeks, $72, and for 90 stu
dents Il would cost Sl440. subtracting
the cost Of board at home from the $500
leaves us 1890 net profit. II
Asthe number of students will at least
be doubled next year, the net saving
SHOULD be doubled. +
