High School Students Favor
Commercial Course boys
Aim for Higher Education

Statistics. given out by Superin-
tendent of Schools, Samuel Il. Shuli,
concerning the courses h a have
been selected by the high school stu
dents since the war show very clear
ly the tendency of the girls to enter
the business world. while a compar-
atively greater number of boys real
ize the necessity of a higher educa-
ton and have mapped out their
courses with the view of entering
thu professional world. :
A very short time ago. in fact,
Iefore the women in this country
entered business to such a degree as
was brought on by the war, in prac-
tically every high school the conf
mercial classes were made up, for
the larger part, of boys, with a very
few girls who aspired to swerve from
the domestic and academic courses.
The tables have turned completely
since that time, however, and there
are, in the local high school, three
times as many girls as boys in the
commercial department.
The total enrolment in the high
school is 592. In the commercial
department at the present time
there are 131 girls and only thirty
three boys, making most apparent

general education. The classical
course here. at this time is almost
balanced, there being eighty girls
and eighty-two boys enrolled. In
the normal course there are sixty
four girls, showing that the teaching

1t is also interesting to note the
shifts in the courses as the students
advance in their work. Following

courses taken by the boys and girls
in the four years of work:
Commercial-First year, eight
boys and fifty-five girls: second year,

is vastly greater than that possessed
by the Serbs.
while the Serbs, especially the
country people, possess courage and
many other excellent qualities, one
must admit hat in almost every, way,
except in the direction of things mill
tary, they are at least two hundred
years behind their brothers and sisters
who have now been freed from the
domination of Austria-Hungary.
"The people know full well that
their standards of life and of culture
are higher than those of Old Serbia,
and they make no secret of the fact
that they desire, expect and may insist
upon measures of autonomy which will
give them a comparatively free hand,
at least in local affairs"
The most prominent patriot among
the southern Slavs is the Bishop OF
Laibach or Ljublijana, Mgr. Anton
Bonaventura Jeglic, who led his peo'
pie in their struggle for the recogni.
ton of their national rights. A power
full opposition, under Austrian aus
pices, was put up to supplant the Bish
op in his leadership of the Catholic
nationalists, which reached it's climax
when a certain DR.. Shustersitch was
put forward as a rival leader to the
Bishop. AS events showed, the rival
candidate was swept aside, and Bish
op Jeglic assumed the leadership anew
with an enormously increased follow
ing.
