TO complete the course is one year.
This course is open to those who have
already completed the courses in the
commercial department or an equiv
alent to those courses. The present
course is practically the same as
found in any business college and is
completed in two years. one year be-
ing devoted to bookkeeping and allied
subjects and the second year to stem
ography and skprthand.
The new cotIrse consists of the fol-
lowing:
1. Advanced accounting. consisting
of wholesale accounting. cost account
ing, commission and jobbing, Ameri-
can national banking, adding machine
eAel else.
2. Constitutional law.
3. Political economy.
4. Elementary law, consisting OF
lectures On real property, domestic
relations, courts. crimes, wills and ad-
ministrations.
5. Lettering and ornate penman-
ship.
6. Advertising and craftsmanship.
Z. Commercial geography.
s. English.
Students completing this course
with an average scholarship of 50
per cent will be entitled TO a degree
of master of accounts. The course is.
primarily intended to prepare stu
dents for teaching commercial
branches. either in business colleges
or high schools. In this respect Aug
ustana makes a new departure along
the line of commercial work. So many
demands have been received at the
local college for graduates prepared
TO teach commercial subjects that ar
rangements were at once taken to
meet the demand.
In the above outline OF the new
course the subject OF elementary law
deserves a word OF explanation. Pro
