BUSINESS SCHOOL
TO HAVE BIGGEST YEAR IN HISTORY


With the largest enrolment in its his
tory, the Bryant Il Stratton Commercial
School of Boston began its years work
Tuesday, September 8. The success OF
this we'll known school is striking tes-
timony to the value of efficient methods
in business education.
The Bryant & Stratton teaching plan
is the individual system, based on the
Darticular REQUIRE ments of each pupil.
Actual practice is combined with study.
The different courses fit students not only
for general business, but for secretarlal
and stenographic positions, civil service
Examinations, account ting, auditing and
teaching of commercial branches in high
schools.
The Bryant & Stratton School has day
sessions ONLY. from 9 to 2, with no classes
on Saturdays or evenings. A tribute to
the high standing of the school is the fact
that all patronage comes unsol1cited-no
canvassing or other methods practiced by
other business colleges being used to
obtain pupils.

WAR CABINET NAMED
NEW british PREMIER AN
NoUNcES APPOINTMENTS.
Earl Curzon Is Made Lord President
of the Cabinet-Lloyd-Geo
Practically Dictator.

London, Dec. 12-Official announce
ment was made on Sunday that the
government had been constituted, with
war cabinet comprising the follow
ing:
Premier-David Lloyd-George.
Lord President of the Council
Earl Curzon who also will be govern
ment leader in the house of lords.
Arthur Henderson, minister without
portfolio. a
Lord Miner, minister without port
folio.
Andrew Bonar Law, chancellor OF
the exchequer, who has been asked
by the premier to act as leader IN
the house of commons, and also
member of the war cabinet without be-
ing expected to attend regularly.
An important point in this novel
organization is that it concentrates
far more power in the hands OF the
prime minister than the British sys-
TEN has ever before known. Mr.
LLOYD Georges proposals to Premier
Asuuith were for a war council OF
which the premier should not be
member, although he should have the
power Of passing on it's work.
Mr.. Lloyd-George has not hesitated
to place himself in the position more
closely resembling a dictatorship than
he was willing to give his predecessor.
The war cabinet will hold daily SEES
sions, directing the prosecution of
the war.
