take business courses is reported from
all oyer the country. The Baton Roug'
Business College is sharing this in
crease to such an extent that the bust
ness college buildings must be enlarg
ed is every way. 1t is the plan of the
directors to add five more class rooms
on the top floor and place the book
keeping, banking and accounting cour
ses in these class rooms. The bottom
floor is to be used exclusively for the
typewriting department. More thar
80 typewriters OF all makes are now
is use.
Business education has not received
the sympathetic treatment from
school authorities generally accorded
other less useful subjects, but since
the government of the United States
has pressed the matter of Commercial
Education, these subjects have come
into the foreground. The people are
demanding commercial subjects and
teachers, and it is the intention of the
Baton Rouge Business College to place
before the young people these oppor-
tunities. The government needs right
now thousands of women clerks and
stenographers for the various depart
ments, and the salaries range from
$1,000 a year upward. The govern
ment is also building hotels for the ex-
elusive S of clerks in Washington,
where board and rooms will be fur
nished at practically cost.
Never before were opportunities
such as these presented to the young
men and women of Louisiana and that
they are taking advantage of these op-
p%ortunties a be seen when you visit
the Baton Rouge Business College,
with its more than $50 students in the
Day and Night Schools.

ness College students in the Book
