BUSINESS COURSE FOR
THE HIGH SCHOOL
IMPORTANT ADDITION TO
CURRICULUM, AND A NEW
TEACHER IS SOUGHT.

The Astoria board of education has
decided that it is imperative to secure
the services OF another teacher for
the High School department, and the
superintendent has been requstd to
endeayor to close contract with a
man in the east who has been seeking
to find place in the Astoria High
There are now l35 pupils in this de-
partment, while last year at the COM
mencement of the term there were but
l05 The buildings are so lamentably
crowded that some means ought to be
found, it is said, for more school room
while the number of pupils also re-
quires that the teaching force be
augmented.
Superintendent Clark also announc-
ed last evening that the board has de-
cided to add another course to the
High School curriculum CONNER
cial, or Business course. There have
heretofore been three courses-Latin,
English and the Science course. The
Commercial will make the fourth, and
it is believed that it will be found
highly practical and popular. This
Commercial course will include in
struction in bookkeeping, stenography
and the use of typewriting machines.
Commercial arithmetic and kindred
subjects will of course be taken up.
The High School course is formed
to comprise the usual four years
training preparatory to college or
university course 1t is planned to
have the new Commercial course oc-
cupy two years, and while taking it
the pupils will also have the ordinary
studies in algebra, English, history,
and the like. At the end of the two
years the curriculum will be SO form
ed that they may then taken UP an
other course and complete it in two
years, thus accrediting them as regu-
lar graduates of the High School
Simply to graduate from the Com
mercial course of two years would
not accredit the pupil as graduate of
the school
1t is believed this new course will
prove Of much value. Business men
and Others who are accustomed to
employ the services Of girls and young
men who graduate from the ordinary
business college, without a prelimi-
nary training in other subjects, find
that their employees are often cxas-

syntax or of spelling frequently prove

trouble to keep the lads at their
studies. Hardly have many Of them

all over the United States has abund-

athletics in the public schools, when

connection with the A. II. in an
athletic way. But the lack OF a gym

ENLIsTMENTs ABATING.
Army Officers Complain OF Falling
Of Now Notable.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24-Major w.
/. Kenly, Of the fifth Geld artillery,
who has been in command Of the re-
cruiting service in Brooklyn and Jer-
scy City since October has found that
in spite Of his efforts to induce men to
Join the army, they are not as eager
to do so now as they were up to the
month OF August.
"There Is always a falling short in
the number Of applications just be-
fore presidential election, said Ma
jor Kenly But Of course, 1t is more
marked now because Of the large
number enlisted between December and
May. The number Of acceptances
averages from one fourth to one fifth
of the number OF APPLICANTS.
When Major Kenly took charge he
began to try new methods for getting
men Henry Smith, park commission
er and Mayor Mcclellan permitted him
to place recruiting officers in the vari-
our parks. And bills were distribu-
ted throughout the city and the adj
yantages Of joining the army painted

the shooting. After consulting with
the coroner the prosecuting attorney
deemed it safe to permit the man to
90 on his own recognition, and this
was done. Hjortland will stay in the
city for day or two, and II is prob
able the death OF Olsen will be con-
sidered by the grand jury, though
there does not seem the slight prob
ability that any other view OF the
matter will be taken than the one
presented.
Acting upon suggestion OF the
district attorney, Coroner Gilbaugh
last night called in DR.. A, r. Finch
and post mortem examination OF
the body was made.
Olsen was "A years OF age. He
was unmarried. For II years he has
lived alone on his little farm. Hort
land lives on an adjoining piece OF
land He has been there FIVE years,
and for that period the men have
been friends and have frequently
hunted together. Last Monday they
killed a bear. Their places are be-
yond the Necanicum postofice.
Wednesday, according to the story
told by Hjorteland to the jury at the
inquest, he and Olsen started out
hunting at 7 o'clock in the morning.
They reached certain steep divide,
and it was agreed that Olsen was to
remain at the top of this divide while
his companion went on the other side
and tried to start up any game that
might be there. While Hjorteland
was making his way along through
the heavy brush-this being half or
three quarters OF an hour after he
had left Olsen-he saw something
move in the brush about 200 or $50
feet ahead OF him. For moment or
more he watch it, and judging from
its brown appearance that il was
a deer, he raised his 30-30 rifle and
fired Twice he fired, as quick as he
could. With crash the supposed
deer toppled down the steep hillside
a distance of perhaps IS feet, though
all the time concealed by the heavy
brush. Then raising his voice
Hjorteland says he called for Olsen
to come, and several times he
whistled shrilly for him. But there
was no reply Hjorteland says he
then laboriously went down the steep
place to where the supposed deer
was lying and there he was horrifed
to discover the dead body of his
friend and comrade.
A mile and half away lies the
nearest farm house, and Hjorteland
states that he hastened there at the
top Of his speed. From that point
it was over eight miles to the near
est telephone and messenger was
dispatched to acquaint the coroner of
the Staying of the man. Such, in
substance, was the story told by
Hjorteland to the coroner's jury yes
terday He was stricken with grief
and horror at the sad affair.
The coroner's jury returned YER

this clause eve exonerate the said
Johannes Hjorteland from all

The jury was composed of Her

conducted by Mr. Gilbaugh, and APP
parently the matter was gone into
