Independent Faculty En-
gagged to Teach Account
ancy Courses.

The increased demand for educa-
ton in the field of accountancy is
evidenced by the opening Of Stray
er's School of Accountancy. Execu-
tives of this institution have real
ized the necessity of providing a
complete course OF study which
would enable students TO acquire
adequate and thorough instruction
in all branches of higher account
ancy.
1t was decided that an independ-
ent faculty must be engaged, and
experienced teachers Will conduct
these courses.
The school intends to devote par
ticular attention to individual in
struction. The student of account
ancy demands constant direction
during his course. In order to IN
sure this personal attention the
school has limited the number OF
students in each class.
Standard texts used in the lead
ing universities, supplemented by
problems prepared by tho teaching
stan, will furnish the program of
study. All classes will be held in
the evening, and the school will be
coeducational. Registration for the
junior class in accountancy is pro-
ceeding rapidly.

AdOance Registration Giues
Hopes for Successful Term,
Downtown Building to Open

The success Of the courses inaug-
Urated at the spring and summer
terms OF the School of Diplomacy.
Jurisprudence and Citizenship has
fully justified the position of the
American University that there is
need in Washington of a university
devoting itself exclusively to grad
uate work.
Leading educators of America
have approved the policy Of en-

As that part OF the population
that goes to college is about per
cent and as about 1 per cent OF this

dent that genuine graduate work
must always be comparatively nu-
merically small in a reputable in

But such work is all-important,
as all the progressive constructive
production of nation depends
upon the research work Of its lead
ing minds. and the graduate schools

exceedingly few exceptions, these

these facts, the larger advance reg
