nous private business schools In the
United States today were organized.
But II Was considerably later than
this that these schools introduced the
courses in shorthand and typewriting.
The competition OF the modern eusi-
ness college with the high schools be-
came SO keen during the last two
decades that the high SCHOOLS were
compelled to ofrer some Compromise.
At hrst they allowed the students 10
take up commercial subjects in the
last year OF the course. then they per-
mitted students 10 take up CONNER
eial subjects in the last two years OF
the course. .-.,
And so the influence OF the private
commercial school has been exerted
until today almost any high school
onering commercial course permits
an elective course in which the
student may elect to take commercial
subjects from the very beginning and
not only this but instead OF belittling
the commercial department in every
conceivable way and assigning the
least capable teachers to that work

voted to commercial education, as for

JESUIT INSTRUCTION
AS TAUGHT AT GONzACA

1t Is fundamental in the Jesuit
system OF education that different
studies have distinctive educational
values. Mathematics, the natural
sciences. language and history are
Complementary, instruments OF educa-
! ton to which the theory OF equiva-
lents cannot be applied. The specific
training given by one cannot be sup
piled by another.
The best educators OF the present
day beginning to realize more fully
that prescribed curricula embracing
well-chosen and co-ordinated studies
afford the student a more efficient
means OF mental cultivation and de-
velopment. While recognizing the
Importance OF mathematics and the
natural sciences. which unfold the
inter r-dependence OF time and space.
the Jesuit system of education has
unwaveringiy kept languages In a po-
sition of honor as an instrument OF
culture.
Mathematics and the natural
sciences bring the student into con-
tact with the material aspects of
nature, and exercise the deductive and
inductive powers OF reason. Language
and history effect the higher union.
There are manifestat tions of spirit to
spirit, and by their study and for
their requirement the whole mind OF
man Is brought into the widest and
subtlest play. The acquisition of
language especially calls for delicacy
OF judgment and fiineness of perception.
and for constant keen. and quick use
Of the reasoning powers.
Through this course of training,
pupils who purpose attending college
or professional schools, as we'll as
those who aim only at the completion
OF the high school course. are furnish
ed with the most fitting preparation
for the special avocation which they
intend to pursue. The subjects pre-
scribed will develop in the student

knowledge by his own efforts whether
in or out of school: his mind is ap-
piled to questions and problems with

Private Institution Claims to Be
