BUSINESS COURSES.
Among the recent courses added =
business administration, given by Dr.
Homer Hoyt. which covers economics.
business law, labor problems, money and
banking, and accounting. II is found that
training for modern business IS Just as

medicine or law. About twenty per cent
of all college graduates 90 into business,
and there Is more and more insistent de-
mand for courses that give an insight into
the fundamental principles underlying
banking, industry, commerce and mar

TEACHER TRAINING.
The courses in teacher training are,
likewise, attracting attention. The tram
ing of teachers for high schools is given
by Prof. William A. Wilkinson, and
covers the principles of education, high
school aims and methods, and educational
administration. The work of training
teachers Of agriculture for the high schools
is carried on in an able way by Prof. r. W.
Helm, who is also the State director Of
vocational education. Professor Helm
has shown himself 10 be great organizer
as well as an inspiring teacher, and he has
attracted an unusually strong group Of
students TO his course toprepsre themselves
as teachers of agriculture in the high
schools of Delaware. Ii is found that the
schools OF this State require about one
hundred and fifty new teachers every year,
and the Women's College and Delaware
College are doing al In sheir power to
meet this demand by training men and
women Tor these important posts.
