The demands from businessmen
and Uncle Sam for bookkeepers, ac-

has filled many high grade positions,
more than forty of it's graduates
have since then entered the govern
ment service and many more are
now in training. Many who had be-
ginning salary of $1,000 are now re-
ceiving 400 a year. Other gradu-

Progress is being made in all edu-
cational fields, but nowhere is it
more pronounced than in the private
commercial school. The recent es
tablishment of Accredited CONNER
cial Schools is a long forward step
for business education. Accredited
schools offer approved courses of
study maintain good equipment, en-
ploy excellent specialist teachers,
follow modern methods of instruc-
ton, and in every other way work
toward the development of the very
highest standards in business edu-
cation. They are pledged to avoid
eXaggeration or misrepresentation in
their advertising. Their graduates
are enrolled in the universal en-
ployment department of the aSsocia-
ton and are entitled to the services
of any accredited school in the
country to help them in securing a

1t is impossible for any one to do
faithfully and earnestly the work laid
out for the standard commercial
course offered by accredited schools
without acquiring those habits OF
thoughtfulness and care that make

in business life.
The necessity for young people
securing special training has been
forcibly pointed out by Secretary OF
War Baker, who says: Nobody
knows how long the war is going to
last. But we do know that when
this war is over there will be need on
every hand for trained and schooled
people to bring about the great re-
habilitation of industries and the re-
construction. of a stricken earth.
