COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT OF NOR
NAL MEANS MUCH HERE IN Y, E.

Throughout the entire school year
it would be hard to find buster place
in the educational institutions of our
state than the commercial department
of our local Normal schoc.. Here the
practical and the professional sides of
education go hand in hand and stu
dents are prepared as teachers of prac-
tical business subjects not only
through a careful training in the meth
DDS and theory of these subjects, but
also by the actual doing each day of
the various duties required of clerical
men and women.
Almost since the beginning of the
school there has been some business
training given to those who chose to
elect it, but the regular teachers train,
ing course in commerce was not Or
ganized until some years later, when
Professor G. c. Curtiss, M. A., and
Mrs. w. M. Greenwood, M. c., took
charge of the work, which soon grew
to such an extent as to require the con-
slant services of an additional teacher
and Miss Anna X. Cook was chosen be-
cause of her especial fitness and capa-
bilities for carrying on the increased
work.
The work as now given constitutes
one of the special courses of the in
stitution open to high school gradu.
ates, and requiring two years above
the high schools, or five above the
grades. In addition to all the regular
academic and professional work re-
quired of the Normal school graduate,
this course consists of complete
courese in accounting, commercial
law, stenography, typewriting, COM
mercial correspondence and ONCE
practice. Naturally, each of these sub
jects consists of varied divisions Of
the work, all correlated and taught

from the professional standpoint. The
work of this department also includes
the supervision, by Miss Cook, of all
the writing in the Model school.
The fact that Professor Curtiss has
charge of the Normal school penman-
ship is a sufficient guarantee that writ
ing as a subject in the schools Of the
state is receiving great impetus
when it is remembered that about 200
graduates leave the institution each
year, each of whom has had instruc-
tion and training under his supervis-
ion.
The demand for professionally train
ed commercial teachers is far in ex-
cess of the supply, and prospective
graduates would do we'll to consider
the advantages of this department be-
fore deciding upon their cocrses.
The department now numbers
among it's graduates many of the best
teachers of penmanship in this and
other states, also teachers of entire
commercial courses in various
schools; while accountants, reporters
and clerical assistants in large num-
bers throughout the state look back to
the State Normal school at Valley
City as their alma mater. Aman-
uenses who have received their train
ing here occupy at the present time
important positions in seven states
and Canada, also in fourteen cities of
this state, while the local business
men have furnished employment for a
large number as we'll. Not only this,
but matrimony has claimed a number
Of them, and at the rate this particu
lar list grows one is inclined to think
that business and pedagogical training
are Of special advantage to the young
