COMMERCIAL STUDENTS TO
HAVE "REAl" OFFICE WORK
FOR PRACTICAL TRAINING

That the commercial students at the
Normal school come in contact with
the practical as well as the theoretical
side of their work is seen from the
methods Of instruction in vogue in that
department. Yesterday co-partner.
ship was formed among the students
OF the class, who each day will have
practical experience in posting real
books, caring for correspondence, etc.
Each member of the class has re.
sponsible position with the firm, and
during the class period forgets entire,
ly that he is in school, and works as
he would in the ordinary up-to.date
office. For the special use of this class
Mrs. A. S. Greenwood, has written a
textbook, particularly adapted for this
state. Mrs. Greenwood has charge of
this work.
