Commercial Department OF
the High School Popular

OF the ninety-three graduates of the
Richmond high school this year. thir
ty-four are in the commercial depart
ment, which is rapidly becoming the
most popular course at that institu-
ton. OF the thirty-four commercial
graduates, sixteen have already Sc
cured employment through the en-
ployment bureau maintained by the
school, and a few others have been
promised positions.
Girls who graduate from the COM
mercial department receive an aver
age wage of from So to IS per week
when the begin work, and by the end
of the first year they receive an aver
age of 50 per week, which is more
that the average girl employed in
factories or a clerks in stores receive
after several years work.
Records of the commercial depart
ment of the high school show that
boys who have taken the course start
to work at an average wage of $40
per month, and after one years service
receive an average of $50 per month.
Students who enter the commercial
department of the high school do so
not with the intention of entering col
lege after graduation, but to receive
the necessary training to enter bust
ness, and each year since the es-
tablishment of the course has wit
messed its increase in enrolment at
the expense of the classical course
This year four graduates of last year
who took the classical course, have
been taking postgraduate work in the
commercial department.
Records of the employment bureau
of the high school show that since
last October thirty-seven applications
for Office assistants have been fled by
local business concerns.
The commercial course is a most
comprehensive one, and provides a
general business education as well as
training in clerical work. Besides
stenography and bookkeeping the stu
dents are required to take three and
| one-half years of English, one and one
half years of mathematics, one year
of photography, two years of either
drawing or music and penmanship and
spelling and commercial law.

Murrette.

A new departure in motion pictures
is the moral photo-play. The Vita
graph company has attempted this
and it's success has been acknowl-
edged by all who have seen THE
Vampire of the Desert" a two-part
feature that will be shown at the
Murrette theater Sunday. The inten-
ton of the play is to show the nature
of a vampiral woman, that creature
of inherited primeval but perverted
instincts, a powerful nature uncon-
trolled. Lispeth, the vampire of the
story, is captivating but heartless
coquette. Seeing a man, she at once
desires to possess him, and is not
content until he is hers, body and
soul. Then she has done with him.
Love in it's true sense does not enter
into her calculations; the mere en-
shaving of a fellow creature gives her
perfect satisfaction. She, wrecks the
homes of those who have nourished
her and looks for further fields to
conquer. Then, taking advantage of a

chance acquaintance, she gains admit
lance into another home in which she
works further havoc, winning the love
of both father and son, causing in
tense enmity between them, and es-
tranging them from wife and sweet
heart Disaster is averted by her
first victim, who turns against her
and brings her to terrible end. In
spite of all her wondrous beauty and
charm, she can not escape her chosen
destiny.
The vitagraph Company is to be
congratulated on its handling of a
difficult subject.

happier life begins. The Sailor Boys

1t is the slogan which, when practiced
in commercial life and in business, al
ways brings best results. This rule APP
plies to the theater as well, and is the
logic and philosophy that James Hal
leck Reid has used in writing his play
The Confession" which will be seen
at the Murray theater by The Francis
Sayles Players Soon.
Mr. Reid has used in his play, life's
most absorbing topics and still not a
line of his manuscript would offend.
There is an uplift in his play, a great
lesson, a cause, a reason, a powerful
dramatic story.
"The Confession" enjoyed a long and
successful run at the Bijou Theater,
Broadway, New York and has met
with tremendous success while en-
tour.
