Commercial LaW Is
Taught To Soldiers

Commercial law is a feature that
Camp Pike offers to men enlisting in
any of the Third division regiments.
In the army Uncle Sam pays the SOL
diers' tuition and fee and furnishes all
the text books.
Among the staff of instructors are
found, lawyers and commercial men of
prominence who devote their time to
equipping students with a thorough
knowledge of commercial law and it's
administration. The course in bust
ness law has not for its purpose the
equipping OF student for the practice
of law as profession, but the incul-
eating in him of certain basic, legal
principles as they apply to commerce.
The lectures are supplemented by text
book reading, periodic quizzes and con-
sideration of cases selected with great
care from court records
Young men desiring to enlist in any
of the Third division regiments may
do so by applying to the army re-
cruiting station at 1876 North Court
