Germans Lay Up 30
Ships After Attack

London, July 1s~It will be a sourc, 4,
of great satisfaction to all the Allied
nations if the capture on Monday OF
four German steamers off the Dutch
coast stops the traffic between the
Rhine and Hamburg. which has been
increasing in recent weeks, with greater
boldness on the part Of the German
captains.
The British withheld their stroke un-
til the largest fotilla thus far sent by
this route was well on its way, and
then dealt a quick. hard blow.
Already it has been announced from
Rotterdam that Germany has decided
to lay up thirty coal steamers there
instead of attempting to run them
home through the sea lane.
II is explained that the shoals along;
the Dutch coast in this district extend
so far TO sea that it is necessary for
ships to steer a course welloutslde the
territorial limits. The attack is said
to have occurred at point more than
four miles from shore.
Dutch reports say that most OF the
seventeen steamers that left Rotter-
dam were sunk or captured. The Ad-
miralty report tells of four captured
and two driven ashore.

A reading of this report or visit to

accommodate our large junior and

Regardless of the fact. that many of
the teachers are handicapped by an
over-crowded condition, yet the work

lives Of a majority of our pupils.
These are bookkeeping. commercial
arithmetic, commercial geography and
business law. Each is studied one
half school year.
An elementary course in bookkeep-
ing is given which is intended to furn-
ish the pupils with knowledge OF
accounts and how to keep them in an
ordinary business. Through much
practice we aim to secure familiarity
with the principles of journalizins

making trial balances. financial state
ments and profit and loss statements

the aerage person to keep an intelii-
CHILE account of his own business and
II should furnish the basis for

college.
In the commercial arithmetic course
we try to meet the demands of mod
ern business: namely, accuracy
rpeed and correct methods. RAPID
calculation methods are emphasized
by much practice with both oral anu
written problems: aliquot parts are
much used and the modern method

employed. This has proved to be one
OF our most popular courses.
