The business department of the high
school was begun in 1S9O-9l under Prin-
cipal CardoZa at the Miner School, the
course embracing bookkeeping, short
hand and typewriting. During the years
following the transfer Of the high school
TO the NJ street building. pupils of thai
department studied English, shorthand,
typewriting, business arithmetic, penman-
ship spelling. commercial law and COM
mercial geography. By the time the bust
ness department., then numbering over
100 pupils, was used as basis for the
establishment OF the manual training
school, many of it's graduates had been
for years serving the government as
clerks or had obtained schools in the
neighboring counties of Maryland and
Virginia.
You will thus see that the business de-
partment had been In active operation at
least ten years before the manual train

school records corroborative of this
statement. Teachers employed i'm that

ALL QUIET AT AUGUSTA
FOLLOWING CAR RIOTS
Troops Held in Readiness for
Immediate Duty-Victims
of Fight to Recover.

AUGUSTA, Ga. September 27-This
city was quiet early today after last
nights rioting that grew out OF 'the
street car strike. but four military COM
panies were in their armories ready for
immediate duty. OF the several persons
hurt last night it is said none will die.
Labor sympathizers have said that not
wheel will turn until the strike is set
tied, and further trouble is feared if the
traction company sends out cars under
guard today. Conservative leaders were
attempting today to effect a peaceful
settlement with the company.
Calls for State Troops.
AS a result Of attacks on non-union
men employed by the local street railway
company as strikebreakers Mayor Bar
rett late last night called upon Gov
Brown for state troops to aid in preserv-
ing order. The request followed a clash
between strike sympathizers and strike
breakers at the power plant, in which
one man was seriously injured and two
others, s. /. Furrow and G. w. Pleger,
both OF New York, were less seriously
hurt.
The rioting came at the close of a
monster mass meeting at the courthouse,
where resolutions were adopted provid-
ing for a sympathetic strike upon the
call of the carmen's leaders.
Orders Fire Hose Be Used.
While the trouble was at its height the
mayor ordered the fire department to the
power plant. with instructions to turn
streams on the mob. At the same time
another mob was reported moving on the
car barns. a squad of police was rushed
to the scene and orders ISSUED by the
chief of police for all reserves to assemble
