Every girl student is urged to cleo
this valuable subject during her cours,
al the Seminary. This course is oper
10 all except hrst-year students. A
small fee is charged. This does moi
meet the entire expense involved. The
balance is made up from fund an
nually raised by teachers and
friends Of the school.
Commercial Branches
The Commercial Department under
the charge Of Miss Arnold will be one
of the most popular and fourishine
| lines Of work in the school. In addi-
tion TO the usual business branches a
class in the Pitman system Of Steno-
graphy will be formed. Penmanship
will be required Of all taking CONNER
cial work and of all others in need Of
the same. The importance Of good
handwriting can not be over-emphas-
lied. Bookkeeping, Typewriting,
Commercial Correspondence, Business
Law, and Business Arithmetic will be
thoroughly taught.
The English Commercial Course
All the real essentials Of good
business education are here offered in
connection with a regular four-year
|high-school course, dispensing with
the necessity of Business College
course except for those who desire
instruction in Higher Accounting,
Banking or more advanced work.
The above course, as outlined on
another page, is the same as is now
offered in nearly all the more impor-
tant, progressive High Schools and
combines the essentials of a liberal
education with the essentials of
good business education, such as every
one should possess.
A merely commercial education is
one sided at best, and does not equip
a young man or woman adequately for
successfully meeting the demands of
modern life. To read intelligently one
must have some knowledge of history;
to adapt himself to world of science
and invention, one must know some
what Of the elemental principles of
Physics and Chemistry, etc. In brief
for the ambitious young person who
desires to make the most Of his op-
portunities in this day Of generally
difrused knowledge, a high-school edu-
cation is no longer privilege merely
but a necessity as well. For those
however, who can not take this four
year course but who wish a year or
more Of high-school work, special
course can be selected with the advice
of the principal comprising such busi-
ness and other branches as are best |
suited to their individual needs. A
Certificate" stating the subjects so
pursued and satisfactorily completed
will be given such special students.
The English Course
Is especially designed for those desir-
ing liberal education and for those
who plan to enter college. Those not
80 intending will be allowed to elect
business or other courses in place of
he Geometry and Modern Language
of this course.
The Latin-Scientifc Course
Is for those who intend to enter col
ege or other professional schools and
Is recommended for such as intend to
become physicians, teachers, nurses,
pharmacists, etc.
In general, students are advised to
consult with the principal in selecting
he course Of study best adapted to
heir needs and in selecting the sub
ects taken each year respectively as
veil.
Other Features, Etc.
Athletics, both for boys and girls,
will receive a due amount Of atten-
ion, constituting as they do legiti-
nate part Of the school life. Gymna-
ilum classes will be formed for the
winter months and the various gym
