BUSINESS UNIVERSITY NOTES

Miss Fay Hunt of DeLassus is our
new student this week, having enroll
ed for the full combined Department.
work. Miss Hunt recently closed
very successful term of school in the
Hilderbrecht district, and will evil
IDENTIFY make one of our high-grade,
Woodworking students.
Miss Lawrence, principal of the
shorthand department, reports Miss
Anna Hill and Roy Coffman as the
honored students in the first short
hand theory test given last week.
Eugene 0rten, who has been doing
high-grade work with us, left recent
ly for Chicago where he becomes con-
nected with the Fidelity Laundry Co.
Mr.. Orten will specialize in the chem
istry department work, and from what
we understand, it is indeed an excel
lent chance for promotion and founda-
ton work for successful future.
Eugene deserves all good things, and
we congratulate him upon this OPP
portunity.
Miss Florence Roux visited her sis
ter, Miss Minnie, one of our worthy
students, last Friday.
Dewey zolman has completed his
work in the bookkeeping or business
department, receiving his diploma, and
for valid reasons will give up his
school work with us at present, hop
ing to return in September to finish
the shorthand course.
Estell Doss was called home Tues
day of this week, owing to the SER
ious illness of her mother. Miss Doss
is one of our Woodworking, energetic
students and we are very hopeful that
her mothers condition will improve
rapidly, so that Miss Stella may con-
tinue her work in the near future.
Prof. Clyde Akers, superintendent
of county schools, delivered to the
students last week an address along
educational lines which should be read
by all readers of this publication.
Especially should the boys and girls
who are looking forward to a success
full career study carefully the remarks
Of Mr.. Akers for they, indeed, show
that he has been observing and is one
of those educators who is not afraid
to speak OUT. Mr.. Akers not only
keeps up with the educational world
but also the commercial world as we'll.
The writer commends Supt. Akers
for the liberal, broad-minded facts so
ably and logically set forth, and wish
es to again assert that it is the desire
and intention of the Business Uni
versity to at all times work harmoni-
ously with the Public, High and Class
ical schools, feeling that the greatest
mutually of interest should at all
times prevail.
The incorporation of the Ozark
Business Colleg Company is progress
ing slowly but surely. Minor things
have come up from time to time, cou-
pied with the duties of the school, so
that we have not been able to devote
much time to it, but expect to in the
near future. Quite a number of our
former students have sent in their
subscription and promise to take more
stock if conditions with them will at
all permit. We are still expecting to
hear from others, as the payments for
the stock can be arranged for, in the
main, to suit the subscriber. The
original plan, which we are sanguine
OF carrying out, is to have at least
one hundred stockholders which will
give us real motive power, or force,
as it We're, to assure virtually double
annual attendance. Such school in
Pennington will mean much, not on
ly to the young people of st. Fran
co.'s and other counties, but to the
business and professional interests of
our community. Thousands of dollars
yearly will be kept at home, and spent
in this locality. In view of such, we
anticipate all who are called upon to
aid in this very important matter will
cheerfully do so.
Alva Mcdowell resumes his school
work this week after an absence of
more than two months, owing to the
serious illness Of his mother, who, we
are pleased to state, is now convalesc-
ing.
