carses OF study.
The commercial course Of study, as
adopted by he board for the schools
of the parih formerly pursuing the
literary corse, grew out of a need
for a more practical training, as well
as a desire to meet the inclinations
and demans of those who would not
or could MT be induced to pursue
an agricultural course, and also to
afford a god business training for
the ninety er cent of boys and girls
who must ike up their life work af-
ter leaving the high school. This
commercial course, as planned by
state schoe officials after careful
study and nYestigatiSn, and resting
as it does n a solid literary founda-
ton, is Of quail unit value with the
purely literry course formerly used,
and its satisfactory completion in
sures for tie graduate admission in
to the louisiana State University
and Tulan University without Elk.

he sees fit. If no candidate for Office

votes, then the second choices are to
be counted with the first choices. If
no one has a majority of both first
and second choices. the ''other
