Gently met in Huron, favorably re-

GOOD INSTRUCTION.

Over eighty different students In
the State college are carrying sub
Jects in the commercial department.
This does o mean that there are
eighty commercial students, however.
The commercial work now must be
taken in connection with the other
regular work. In other words the one
year course in commerce Is a thing
of The past. When the requirements
for admission into commercial classes
were raised from one to three years
last year, it was thought that this
might possibly reduce the attendance
considerably. On the contrary, the
result has been for a higher class of
students to ask for the privilege Of
taking business branches in connec-
ton with their college studies. 1t is
no longer possible for one without
a good foundation In English to en-
ter the classes in Shorthand and
emanuensis training, but this rule is
bound to turn out a more effective
stenographer or secretary. It is the
policy to discourage high school stu
dents from leaving school before OBJ
tanning their high school diplomas.
The day has arrived when it is found
to be bad policy to run a business
college" in connection with a school
Of collegiate rank. II commercial
subjects do not deserve a higher
scholastic rating than that given by
the average short course" so-called
business college. they certainly have
no place in a bona nda college. The
tendency Of late is for large colleges
and universities to place commercial
work on the proper plane with high
requirements for admission and grad
uation.
