The school directors of the
Honesdale district will hold their
year-end meeting on Monday even.
ing of next week. The board is plan.
ming to add another branch of study
in the schools curriculum, that ot
a commercial course. 1t will in
clude stenography, typewriting, spell
ing, writing, etc, in fact everything
that is included in regular business
course. If the board is successful
in establishing this new branch Of
study in the Honesdale High school
pupils who have graduated from
| other schools will be given an op
portunity to take the Commercial
! course here instead of going to cities
as is now the case. 1t will also af
ford the pupils of the school tn,
same privilege of obtaining a bust
ness course, whereas now after grad
uatiOn, some are unable to take vi
a similar course in business schoo
or college. Honesdale is advancing
and its school necessarily must ad
vance with it. The proposition i
an ideal one and should, by all pos
| sible means, be adopted. The tuition
that might be received from out-of
| town students would undoubtedly
pay for a teacher and if properly ad
yertised, there may be a neat sun
| in the treasury at the end of tn
| school year.
