A POPULAR SCHOOL.

IL is interesting to note the progress
that has been made by Bay Path In
stitute, School of Business Training
Springfield, Mass, since it was estab-
lished in 1897. The school has been
under the same management during
that time and each year has shown an
Increase in the number of students.
During the past year nearly 400 stu
dents were trained at the school /:
many of them, graduates of High
school commercial departments, en-
tering for finishing coures in order to
get a Bay Path diploma and obtain a.
position. Others, without previous
preparation in commercial work, COM
pleted the courses in the rapid man.
ner for which the school is noted.
The teachers are experienced bust
ness men and women. Mr. Palmer,
the principal, has been in the work for
over 80 years, while the heads of the
various departments are specialists in
their particular lines. The short
time that students have for prepara-
ton, demands that Bay Path have a,
greater number of teachers and give
more personal attention to each stu
dent than the average school.
The fact that Bay Path graduates
are in demand, despite business con-
ditions, proves that the methods of tina
school are appreciated by business
houses generally.
The Teachers Training Department
of the school has been especially
popular on account of the increasing
demand for teachers to establish COM
mercial departments in high schools
and academies. The supply of such
teachers does not equal the demand,
and on that account, those who take
up the work command good salaries.
The object of the Teachers Training
Department is strictly professional.
Each student not only studies all the
commercial subjects taught in the
other departments, but also does a
certain amount of teaching under the
| observation Of a critic teacher
The school also employs a field Sec
rotary whose business it is to look
after the students general welfare
outside of the school, obtaining COM
| Portable and convenient homes, etc,
as occasion requires
/ The fall term opens August 81,
+ though students may enter at any
| time, taking up the work at the point
where previous training fits them to
begin. Already the number of regis
erations for the fall exceeds all previ-
GUS records.-Adv.

as We rode from the station past the
Royal Exchange, we heard the Lord
Mayor between two high military Off
clals. read the first eight proclamations
of the King. ordering the mobilization
of the British forces. That night at IL
O'Clock the newsboys were heard
throughout the city shouting, Great
Britain declares war upon Germany"
Three hours after the King and Queen
and Prince of Wales had responded to
the shouts of the mob in the Mall and
had come out on the balcony of Buck
ingham Palace.
The following four days In London
marked the most anxious period for all
stranded Americans as well as for the
English people themselves. Bank holt
days had been extended through Thurs
day and no London shops were willing to
give change for British bank notes until
the gold supply should be opened again
on Friday. Steamship passage on all
lines was engaged untn late In September
and the third class cabins of all vessels
will continue - carry many Americans
until next month. The steerage of the St.
Louis, which locked in New York late
Saturday night, and from which our par
ty landed, carried irving Chase president
of the Waterbury Clock Co., which manu-
features the 1ngersoll watches, Jerome
Meyer. the artist. member OF George
Arliss' Disraeli Company, Marshall
Graves. the English comedian. and sew
eral doctors from the conference of sur
geons. which had been held during the
summer.
Attitude of People.
All thoughtful Americans who came
to England from the Continent, could not
fail to perceive and to be impressed by
the attitude of the conflicting people.
Whereas the Germans had marched TO
war, every man enlisting, every man
glad in his heart at the chance for which
British are entering the conflict without
Disgusting the fact that ii is entirely
against their will. Inc same spirit of
whole-hearted. complete sacrifice, does
not prevail though possibly it lies deeper
behind the sadder countenances of the
English speaking people who realize the
gravity and perhaps the absurdty OF
such a Goth century war. But out OF
Somerset House and down the Strand, |
saw 800 Territorials march to the front,
accompanied by no cheers. no excitement
and without the lifting of single hat.
Every face was sad and all seemed 10
realize the material side OF the losses
which the world must suffer.
War is the Germans religion and their
devotion to it's cause is factor which
must enter into every conflict in which
they engage and wnicn may deciae many.
The average Engllshman says openly
that all he wishes is for an even number
of British ships to fight with the same
numuer of German war vessels and he
will be willing to stand by the outcome.
The English are cooler planners and
calmer fighters, but to all outward APP
pearances they lack that spirit which
will make the Germans give everything
in order to gain everything though they
fear that their loss may be as complete
as the victory for which they hope.
