Bryan is not the murderer, nor the
robber. nor the libertlne, nor the
honest skeptic. but the man who
acknowledged the truth of Christiani-
ty and the vital importance OF the
church and the fact of Gods great
law and love, and then deliberately
refused to serve God and treats Gods
law and Gods love with indifference.
II the man who mistreats himself
and mistreats his best friend is a
mean man, then how mean is the man
who refuses to save his own soul and
who turns his back on Jesus Christ?
He said that God has never yet
damned a man; men deliberately
damn themselves. and God cannot
help IT.

MODERN COMMERCIAL SCHOOLS

Graduation from a school Of such
simple type was supposed to qualify
the pupil TO meet all business emer-
gencies. To be sure, the thrifty mer-
chant and small storekeeper Of the
day very frequently did not look with
unqualified approval upon the graduate.
However, that did not dampen his
ardor nor did it take away the value
of the suggestions which he was prob
ably able to make, especially in regard
to the value of having a system.
Such an attitude on the part Of the
employer was. however. not surprising,
as any new idea, whether applied to
business or to any other department Of
life, is apt either to be ridiculed or TO
be tried with unbelief Moreover, the
departure from the former apprentice
system Of training business employees
was grave step, for it meant the
transferring of the training Of en-
ployes-the most important factor in
any business-.to others, that is TO the
heads Of institutions who had not yet
had time to earn the confidence OF the
employer.

A most important and to-be-reck-
oned-with phase of the education of
to-day is expressed in the modern COM
mercial school. No longer does the
old culture ideal dominate the youth
moulding institutions TO the exclusion
Of all others, for practical efficiency on
the part Of each person is demanded
by the present conditions Of society.
The up-to-date commercial school is
based upon the recognition of the truth
that each person in the work-a-day
world should be self-sustaining
economic unit The corollary of this
principle is business efficiency. The
commercial school has demonstrated
its common sense and understanding Of
the situation by following in line and
by planning its curriculum with prac-
teal efficiency as its basis.
The pioneer business school OF an
earlier day taught the actual keeping
of books-frst b. single entry and then
by single and double entry systems, the
copper plate system of penmanship and
the writing Of a few simple business
letters.

There is such thing as social adj
vantage, and this does not mean "snob-

venue. Social status is valuable from
many standpoints and may not be
ignored; il is one Of the precious assets
OF life. Unless ones children are af-
forded an entry into the sphere occu-
pied BY their peers they will never
know the value of that fellowship and
social community Of interests in which
l.. is their right TO participate.
The private school presents the pict-
ure OF the world in miniature, especial
" in regard 10 matters social and
ethical. The conventionalities and
nieeties Of an Apr lpriate place Of eX-

To-day there has been as wide and
deem a change in the method Of the
business school as there has been In
its curriculum.
To-day in the most scientific business
school the student first learns the UNI
deriving principles Of business and
then their application. Before he can
enter he must have a thorough ele-
mentary or academic training, and he
is then classified according TO the re-
quirements which he possesses.
In the commercial schools Of the
highest type he receives a thorough
economic course in the underlying
principles of business. lie learns the
laws of demand and supply, the com
merce of nations and several economic
theories as a basis upon which his
practical knowledge is to be founded.
Then begins his practical training.
He learns business customs and he
learns to handle all machines which
come under the heading of "office aids"
So far his training is regarded as
only general in character. Then he IS
called upon to decide into which held
Of business he is TO enter and he be-
comes a special student Of journalism,
private secretary work, accounting or
of whatever field is TO be mis-.

which is by no means regarded as the
least important, is his outside or held

least some training from a business
school.
The evening schools. both private and
public, are crowded nightly in the WIN
ter season with youths and young
women who have started as unshlled
laborers in the Office field and who
have been awakened TO realization OF
their great need for business training.
They are obtaining this at the price Of
financial sacrifice and self-denial that
can hardly be realized by their more
fortunate brothers and sisters.

business school graduate is greater as

al it was az that time generally called,
was expanded by the addition Of type
writing and stenography, an expansion
necessitated by their general introduce
ton into the business world.
Gradually, as commercial needs have
set the pace, the school curriculum has
broadened TO parallel this advancement,
until to-day the various commercial
schools may be said to furnish exact
preparation for all departments of
business.
Indeed. so broad is the modern eco
nomic field that the commercial schools
have developed into differentiated in
stitutions offering varied courses.
There is the simple 'ype OF school
type which still clings to the old
order and which teaches merely BUSH
ness English, typewriting and stenog-
raphy; the school which offers train
ing in handling other Office devices Of
many kinds; the school which fits
young men, and also young women, for
the position Of certified public account
ant: the school for private secretarial
training; the school Of journalism, and
schools Of as many other varied types
as there are varieties OF business ac-
tivities.
Moreover, not only has the CONNER.
cial school increased in numbers and
in complexity Of curriculum, but it has
also passed through a great change in
the method of its training.
The earlier schools trained purely
and simply through the apprentice
method, that is by the three-step meth
cd Of copy, correct, imitate-under au-
thoritv. The pupil learned certain
types of business letters by heart and
he did not vary them. He merely Sc
lected that form of letter which near
est met his need.
He did not acquire the underlying
principles Of business. He merely
learned the application Of certain me-

lars. and only q very few, for its
courses. Il was conscious that il
ranked much lower in the sight OF men
than did the so-called Culture insti-
tutions." and il valued its labors in &C
cordance with this realization. The
parent of that day reluctantly paid for
commercial education sum much
lower than many times the sum he
laid out in the so-called Culture in
sttutions."
To-day this is all changed. The COM
meYcial institution has proudly taken
its we'll earned and recognized place
in the ranks Of the culture institutions.
No other kind of institution is more
respected. for il is recognized b. all
clear-thinking, level-headed business
men that upon the shoulders of these
institutions rests the commercial re-
sponsiblity of the world.
The tables as 10 relative education
values are turned. and the parent OF TO-
day is very apt 20 more cheerfuliy
make his expenditure for commercial
than for collegiate education. This IS
because he realizes that his boy can
not readily succeed in business unless
he has the proper kind OF training as
background for success.
In this view the parent is right. The
unskilled boy allowed by the compui-
sorry education and employment laws
to take his place as an economic unit IN
livelihood competition has not the same
opportunity for success that his father
or his grandfather had before him.
The modern business man is too busy
to give TO his many unskilled charges
the sympathetic, careful training that
time. smaller business and a lesser
number of employees enabled his prede-
cessors to give to their few employees.
Therefore, the boy and girl of to-day
who hope TO succeed in the business
world are handicapped, indeed, in their
rise in business il they have not at
