COMMERCIAL AND PRIMARY DEPART
MENTS
Miss Louise Hancock, of Ruston, La,
will have charge of both the CONNER
cial Department and the Primary.
Hours for the latter will be from 9 a.
m. to 2:30 p. m.
In order to secure the services of a
teacher proficient in both departments
we have had to pay Miss Hancock more
than any other teacher. There need be
no conflict between the two depart
ments, and by combining the two, we
feel that we are able to offer better ad-
vantages in both. Testimonials in part:
Miss Louise Hancock's work as in
structor in Stenography in this institu-
ton is entirely satisfactory. Her gen.
eral education is broad, she having COM
pleted the full college course at the
Louisiana Industrial Institute. In her
classroom work she is careful and
painstaking. consider Miss Hancock
first-class teacher in every way.
