NEK SCHOOL OF COMMERCE
Department to Open in Leavenworth
Building Next Fall.
GRAFT HUNTS FOR TEACHERS
Large Attendance il Expected from
the Start and Relief for the
High school is Antici-
mated,

SUI orintendent E. L. Graft Of the public
schools is scouting for commercial teach
ers for the staff of the new Omaha High
School OF Commerce, which will open in
the Leavenworth building next fall Prin-
cipal Rusmeisel will have charge of the
school and several Of the present teachers
OF commerce at the high school will as
sist, but the staff will be deficient, even
with all the present corps.
We will need about six new teachers, g"
said Superintendent Graft. and they are
hard TO find. Our commercial teachers
generally are either commercial men
without teaching experience or teachers
without busienss experience"
Mr.. Graft thinks one of the needs of
modern education is a training school for
commercial teachers. There is now
nowhere q commercial normal school
where teachers are trained to teach COM
mercial courses. The commercial course
in high and normal schools has been so
much in demand in recent years that a
large number Of teachers are required,
he says. As there is no training for
such teachers they must. Of necessity, be
deficient and inexperienced in the be-
ginning.
It is believed the Omaha High School
Of Commerce will open next fall with a
large attendance. Teachers at the high
school have been asked to find out how
many pupils in that institution have
planned TO take up work at the new
school. Many have responded.
As soon as school closes work of re-
modelling the Leavenworth school will
begin. A few changes will suffice. with
the equipment that will be installed. As
there are about 200 commercial students
at the high school that institution, now
congested, will be relieved, but even with
the new addition will not have an UNI
occupied seat

Birth Of Fashion

When Adam and Eve in the garder
dwelt,
Their innocence was conceded,
No one would dream they ever had felt
That different clothes were needed.
And they just lived on as happy as
clans
In a pool of briny water,
AS free from guile as new born lambs,
Till a snake found Eve and caught
her,
And told her some tales of fashion, IS
guile
And the things she ought to be wear
ing,
Explaining that woman just clothed
with smile
Was like to set people to staring.
To his stories she listened. the innocent
girl,
And her head filed with fanciful
notions
Till all 'her ideas were mixed in the
whirl
Of her newly discovered emotions.
And thus the insidous tales of the
snake
Aroused the isrt symptoms of pas
sion,
In the female heart,t to endeavor to take
The lead in all new fashions.
For Eve felt then the first knowledge
dawn
That a cross she ever must bear;
That her innocence now forever was
gone
She must alwayshave something to
wear.
Then she went to her shady bower
alone
To follow the serpent's direction,
And braid from the leaves her maiden
gown,
As her modesty's best protection.
From then till now, through ages past,
And ages to come hereafter,
The daughters of Eve to fashion hold
fast,
Though often provoking laughter.
For they wear anything. however abb
surd,
That fashion perchance may dis
cover;
Or nothing at all, if such is the word.
That makers of fashions send over.
A woman's the lovliest thing on earth,
When she's left as the Lord has
made her,
But tinkered up in the styles from
Worth
She's "sign" for the retail trader !;
To show his silks, his ribbons and
things,
Wrought up into endless contortions.
The bustles, the puffs and the pads he
brings,
Transforming our bellies to abortions
Contributed.

WASCO GRAPE LANDS
APPEAL TOARMENIANS
From The Dalles Chronicle)

Through the efforts Of Leroy Park
X. Emirzian, a representative of the
Armenian scolony at Fresno, Calf.
came to The Dalles last week to look
over the land surrounding The Dales
with view to locating colony of
Armenians in this vicinity.
Together with Mr.. Park. " said MIR.
Emirzian. II have thoroughly in.
spected the soil. orchards, etc, and
find The Dalle3 to be an ideal locality
for my people. The soil here is excel
lent, as is shown by the prosperous
looking orchards. cannot say, defn-
itely, as to whether or not colony
will be located here this year. The
object of my trip is merely to find
some suitable locality where land is
cheap and where some of my people
can establish a new colony, AT Fresno
we started with a small number of
families few years ago. Today there
are 1000 Armenian families in that To-
cality and we must find some other
place for them to develop land, there
being very little undeveloped land re-
naming at Fresno. With an average
of from one to four families coming to
the United States every day, you can
readily see why a new location is
wanted to establish colony"
Mr.. Emirzian is the Fresno repre-
sentative of the American Colonst as.
sociation of New York. He is thor.
oughly familiar with the fruit industry,
his work being that of instructing bis
countrymen in the proper methods Of
raising various fruits, selecting land
particularly adapted to raising certain
products.
Armenians are famous for graTt
raising and it is for this reasoni that
Mr.. Emirzian was attracted to this
locality, having learned of the ecxel
lent possibilities for that industry
here.

GOOD FELLOWSHIP

A very enjoyable good fellowship
meeting was held at the Christian
church on last Monday night. The
Mems Bible class of the Christian
Church entertained the Bible classes
of the Sunday schools of the town.
The program consisted of music by
the orchestra, which played three
splendid selections, receiving most
hearty applause
Then came selection by the Male
Quartet, which was also heartily an
plauded. Then another piece by the
orchestra, The chairman of the
meeting, w. H. Feather, then an
nounced that there was no formal
program, but that there would be i'm
promptu readings and songs, etc. AT
first there seemed to be a little diff
denee and tlmidity. No one seemed
to want to start anything. Finally
the guests began to call for Bro.
Bond. Mr.. Bond responded by telling
few stories, which the audience
was kind enough to applaud, too.
Then he recited when the Frost is
on the Pumpkin" and I'm Good Old
Country Style" and then little
take off on Liberal, after which Bro,
kirkpatrick was called for and gave
a reading, which was a take-ofr on q
young orator making his first address
In congress. This was responded to
by cheers from those present. Bros.
Ward, Glenn, Parymore, Falls, Nusz.
and Grinstead then followed In neat
speeches, each saying something to
the point and adding to the humor
and good fellowship of the occasion.
Then Bro, Lon jackson sang
laughing song, which literally
brought down the house--all joining
in the laughter before he had fin-
ished, Bro. Feather then gave hui
morous reading, telling how man
and his, wife we're suspended in the
air on either side of a barn roof by
a rope over the comb Of the barn.
This, also, received its share OF ap-
plause. Bro. Needles then pulled off
a delightful stunt In the way Of a
musical piece on q make-believe fife.
This also received a round Of cheeFss
Then Bro, Bond was asked BY the \
chairman to invite all the guests 10
the basement, where refreshments
were served. Mr. Bond did this BY
telling those present to just follow
Bro, Harris, as he was the best fell
low in the lot to lead them to where
there was something to eat.
After refreshments, all joined in
singing God Be with You Til We
Meet Again." and Bro. Kirkpatrick
closed the evenings fellowship with
a well worded prayer. The occasion
was pronounced success and a Joy
10 each one present. There were so
people in attendance.

the song is square deal and live
and let live, but the square deal
does not apply to the patient, and the
live and let live is not meant for
him; 1t is all for the doctor, If 1t
means anything in particular to the
patient, it may mean that he has
been bartered as a piece of merchan-
disc"
The substance of the whole ques-
tion is that the secret division of fees.
like secret rebates and commissions
in the business world, is dishonest.
If 1t was not, there would be no rea-
son for keeping 1t secret. The general
practitioner will be more sure of a

transactions between the patient, the
consultant and himself being known
to all.
