The ninth grade, Miss Julia E. Bond,
principal, is not required part of the
school course. 1t is a one-year course in
bookkeeping, commercial arithmetic,
business methods, business forms and
letter-writing and commercial geog-
raphy. The design of this course is to
| fit student to keep his fathers books OF
such books as are usually kept in vii
lage store, to compute with accuracy and
dispatch, to write correctly notes, checks,
drafts, receipts and such forms as would
be called for in a small business to write
business letter correct in form and
spelling; and to study the world as a
great market place.
Any student who has completed the
eighth grade in the Middlebury schools
and any student from outside the district
who can satisfy the teacher of his fitness
will be admitted to the commercial
grade. The work in this department,
however will not be counted toward a
preparation for the high school.
Those stude nts who have completed
the eighth grade and who are required
by law to attend school in district num-
Der four will be expected to choose be
tween the commercial grade and the
| high school.

Nine. Fremstad Gives
Charming Recital

The recital given by Nine. Olive
Fremsted in the Light Guard armory,
Wednesday evening. was one OF the
musical events OF the season. but IL
would seem from the small audience
that Detroiters evidently did not ap-
preciate that fact Those who were
present. however, enjoyed to the full
the diversified program presented by
the artist. Nine. rremsted has not
only good looks and charming per-
sonality. but she has beautiful voice.
which she uses with exceptional style.
II Is not a remarkably big voice. but
II is smooth and yelvety and particu-
larly pleasing.
The program opened with the Mo-
zart aria. All Crudele." and was fol-
lowed by selections by Schumann
Schubert. Brahms. Wolf. sung In Ger
man. and at the close Of the Scandl-
navian group. Nine Fremsted took off
her gloves, sat at the piano and sang
a Swedish folk song The closing
number, Wagner's 'Liebstod," gave
the singer opportunity To display
more fully the beauties OF her voice.
and she was obliged TO return and re-
spond 20 an encore.
Musicianly accomplishments were
played by Arthur Rosenstein, who also
played group OF selections. the
Scribine prelude for the left hand.
and two Chopin numbers. The reel
tai was under the Ill. ection OF Devoa
& Murphy.
