HIoh School of Commerce.

In 1914 the city of Worcester. Mass,
an important business center, estab-
lished a high school Of commerce.
When the school opened In Septem-
Der, 1914, 1926 pupils were enrolled,
and in February. 1915, 4S per cent OF
all the pupils entering the high
schools of the city elected the high
school of commerce. The present en-
rollment of this school Is nearly l.

1t is the policy Of the school to ofter
courses OF studies holding a mutual
ground between the purely cultural
and the strictly vocational, and In
these courses are English, Latin
French, German and Spanish. There
are. of course, several sciences. and
there are commercial history, ciVics
and commercial geography, to the lat
ter two years being devoted. There
are also included stenography. book
keeping. typewriting, banking. com
mercial law. accounting and penman
ship. A course under consideration
is on craftsmanship. and it is hoped
soon to introduce the teaching OF cd
yertising and window dressing.

With sobs IN his voice, the applicant
for a meal and some old clothes had
told his story, and the kind-hearted
woman had helped him.
Now as he sat eating hunk of bread
and cheese she thought it wise to get

be better for yourself if you used SOAP
and water occasionally"
