London.-(C Correspondence Of The
Associated Press. While the Ame-i-
can Exchange problem is being appar-
emily ignored by the British govern
ment which is content to let gold slip
away in small quantities without max
ing an effort TO meet its Indebtedness
to the United States, much advice is
being given by economists. through the
medium Of the press, as to the most
ef1cacious method Of dealing with this
problem, which with an adverse trade
balance Of several hundred millions
sterling grows more pressing every
week
One writer advocates compulsory
economy to reduce imports and argues
that if the American Exchange con

The business man of today has
neither the time nor the incl.
nation to be a school master in
his own Office. He demands en-
ployees who are thoroughly pre-
pared for their duties. The
world today asks two questions
of the youth entering upon his
business career-What do you
konw? What can you do?
Bookkeeping and Business
Training
To transact business with dis
patch and reliability one must
know all about making out and
endorsing business paper and the
rules governing the same. He
must be familiar with the use
and proper disposal of receipts,
checks, drafts, bills of lading, in
voices, certificates of deposit,
notes and other business papers,
he must know how to do bust
ness with banks, express and
railroad companies, postoffices,
etc., and he must get this know
ledge by actual practice. ALI
this training is included in the
business department of an up
to-date commercial school in ad-
dition to the theory and practice
of bookkeeping.
The system we use in this de-
partment deserves special men
ton. We do not use the discred-
tied method, which consists of
having the students try to make
bookkeepers of themselves by
coming the definitions and copy
ing the made-up sets of q book
keeping text book. Our work is
thoroughly practical, our stu
dents keeping real books in their
own names and basing their
records upon transactions per-
sonal to themselves. Every re-
cord is that Of q. real transaction
and there is no copying of mag
mary records. This reality OF

OUR EDUCATIONAL PRIZES
A Free Course in the Blair Business College, Of
Spokane---Opportunity of a Lifetime that
Cannot well be Overlooked

the work adds greatly, not only
to the students understanding,
but it makes him proficient in
dealing with real business trans
actions and their required needs.
The method we use in this de-
partment is one of the recent tri-
umphs of practical education and
needs to be seen to be apprecia-
ted.
Stenography and Typewriting
These Office specialties have,
in late years, become very inn
portant-so much SO that with
out them no office mans educa-
ton is complete. The typewrit-
err is now found in every business
Office and the dictation Of bust
ness correspondence is all but
universal.
The course in shorthand often
constitutes a separate depart
ment, including careful training
in English, the elments Of cor
respondence, manifolding, the
care of the typewriter, etc. In
this department expert teach
ing is absolutely essential. One
who wishes to make a stenog-
rapher of himself can make no
greater or more costly mistake
than to try to "pick up" this
new and important art. Good
instruction here is saver of
time and money, too.
Business Laws and Customs
Here is a special field of the
utmost importance to the sue
cessful business man, which the
general school does not enter at
all, and of which the ordinary
school or college graduate knows
absolutely nothing. The basis
of all business is the contract,
and the rights, obligations and
powers of parties to it. These
receive full consideration in the
business school, and its work in
this line is most valuable. Too
many people know nothing Of
the principles of business law.
