A Commercial Course.

We take pleasure in announcing that
the faculty of the Oakland High School
is arranging for a first-class commercial
course. 1t is intended to make this
course equal to that Of the best business
colleges and commercial high schools in
the country.
Prof. c. NJ. Miller, the instructor in
charge, is highly recommended as an
expert teacher Of such branches. As a
practical business writing teacher and
also as on ornamental penman he has a
national recognition and reputation. He
has taken full charge of and instructs
the classes and grades in all the rooms.
Parents are urged to give this matter
careful attention and consideration.
Why send your sons and daughters to
outside educational institutions at great
expense when with small outlay YOU can
give them excellent instruction and
training at home?
There is some inquiry and demand for
commercial instruction in the evening.
If sufficient number signify their in
tention to enroll, such a class will prob
ably be formed and organized as part Of
the high school. Tuition to be paid into
the school treasury by students.
Anyone wishing further information
may see or write to Principal Palmer,
or the instructor in charge.
Let there be a large enrolment at an
early daY

with the office he recently vacated. In
another column of this paper today Mr..
Dewitt gives a final notice to delin-
quents to pay up. He has been ex-
tremely lenient with those who are in

such as to give the Treasurer no option

cause he is compelled to do so and not
of his own voliuion.
