BUSINESS COURSE
Alexandria High School Has Free

Alexandria High School Has Free
Tuition-Taught by Mrs. Brauchier
Many of the young people OF Alex
ardria do not fully realize the fine
oUponbun:ty they have to become ex-
pett business men and women. Last
September the Alexandria High School
icpenel a commercial course under the
supervision of Miss Brauchler, who
| has thoroughly proven her capability
in the few months that have already
elapsed. Many of the young people go
over to Washington to take up this
aourse either because they are not
aware of the splendid opportunities
Offered them or else they do not have
confidence in the work. Therefore, the
students eff this course invite anyone
who is interested in this work to come
and nvcs .igate before going else
where. Then, too, there is no charge,
everything is free and you have the
i, saving eff not only time but street
car fare also.
! Persons having two years OF High
School and who wish tt enter into the
business course, with two more years
of business training will receive dip
Iona like any other High School stu
dent. Then in regard to those who just
wish to take up the business course,
at the end Of two school years, these
students shall receive a certificate
which viii admit them into any office
that the students Of Washington
schools. may enter. While attending
school one does net have the eternal
grind of school work, for the studcn!s
take part in all the athletics anil So
c:al functions of the school which
makes school life so enjoyable.
During the summer months, many
of the students arc planning to fill
positions and then in the fall return to
school again, so on the whole it is a
wonderful opportunity for the people
interested in this line. You may take
up the following subjects, typewriting
shorthand, business english, spelling
commercial law, business arithmetic
and penmanship.
AS you have all read Of the install
lation of Victrolas in many cities, for
the purpose of typcwriting by muse
so too, has this course tried this and
they find it very successful,-Just
come up and see the typewriters fox
trot to Dardanella-You'd be Sur
! prised.
Then, too, in shorthand, we have
speed contests and the same holds true
in typewriting. as we all know every
one is eager to do his best and il
brings about a true school sentiment
which causes pupils TO do much bst-
ter work.
The text books used in this course
are all highly recommended and uu.
der all these conditions it makes the
geenral course very practicable which
is the main factor in business course
