EDITORIAL.

Il seems there has been consider
able comment caused by the estab-
lishment of the commercial course
in the high school. An old proverb
says, Think, speak, act Have
we not spoken too quickly? Although
it is too late to retract our words,
it is not too late to think.
First let. us consider the value OF
commercial education to every high
school student It is very true we
do not all expect to be stenographers
yet how much good is derived from
it. in training the memory. Again,
let us look at the necessity Of q
knowledge of commercial law and
economics. No person, no matter
how much Latin, chemistry and lit
erature he knows, can get along in
the world without some knowledge
of business law. Is not the school
the proper place to receive this
training for after life? After we leave
school, very few if any pupils will
be called upon to give a Latin de-
clemson, or to perform chemistry
experiment in his daily life; but
how many will be called upon to
write a clear. business letter? How
many Will use the principles of bust
ness law and economies?
An argument which many of our
interested school patrons often pre-
sent is, that with the commercial
course it is difficult for high school
graduate to enter university fresh
man class But how many of the
students who graduate here so to
college? Very few, and 1t is in=
deed far more advantageous to have
a course which shall meet the needs
of the majority.
Besides. we should consider that
the students of this school will be
the men and women of tomorrow
our future citizens land will not
the commercial course train them
more efficiently for this purpose than
the literary course? OF course we
all want to get the highest educa-
ton possible, but we also want to
get what is best for us,
knowledge is proud that 1t knows
so much,
Wisdom is humble that it knows
no more
