Advance Steps Taken
By Cornell College
In Physical Training

Mount Vernon. Ia. Aug. The
increasing recognition of the im-
portance OF physical development
along with intellectual development
which is being given by educational
institutions has led Cornell college
to take advance steps in regard to
physical training for both women
and men.

Of physical training for men and
intercollegiate athletics, is beieng re-
iniorced by Gordon NJ. Morrison of
Harvard university. He will also
have the part time service Of Arlo

Favors Coeducation
In Business Colleges

Prof. J. A. Youngstrom, president
OF the American Institute of Business
Efficiency, claims that a business
college teaching shorthand, type
writing, secretarial work, bookkeep-
ing. accountancy. comptometry, sales
nanship, ETC., should be co-educa-
tional. For, he says, how else is boy
or girl who graduates and is sent
out to take position in an Office,
where both men and women must
mingle, to acquire that grace and
ease of manner that not only makes
one pleasant and agreeable. but also
more desirable and efficient?
Timidity, unnecessary en1barrass'
ment and inability successfully to
meet and converse with men or won-
en- of opposite sex, socially or on
business subjects, are some of the
handicaps of people who have been
isolated one from the other through
out their college career. These draw
backs in themselves are frequently
responsible for mediocre careers, he
says.
Due to these reasons, he says
among the students OF the Amerl-
can Institute OF Business Efficiency,
ere both men and women.

Good Positions

tunities for Advancement by
Contact With Business.

The young man or woman who
wants to enter business life, who
must do so without capital and who
does not know definitely in what
branch they want to specialize. would
make no mistake i'll choosing ste

professor.
"A good stenograpller can always

But this, however. is not the
main point. The big thing is that
stenography offers such great op-
portunitics for advancement. 1t
puts the young workers in positions
of confidence, in direct contact with
big business men, gives them the Sc
crets Of business and holds open the
door OF opportunity to them daily.
Edward Box, vice president OF
the Curtis Publishing company, who
began his business career as a ste
nographer. said:
"'Stenography places employees in
positions Of confidence and bring
them into direct contact with the
employer, This gives them an in.
sight into the inner workings OF
business which they could not get

chance to distinguish themselves

Consequently. much fine talent is
overlooked
In the training OF stenographers,
Boyles college keeps constantly in
mind the opportunities afforded by
direct contact with the employer. and
the advantages to be derived from
special knowledge that will make the
stenograpter real assistant to the
executive.
Stenography as given at Boyles
college is really a private secretarial
course, embracing not only short
hand and typewriting, but office
practice. business usage and secre-
tarial drills. By knowing more than
mere shorthand, by having a work
ing knowledge Of business princi-
plies and office practices, the be-
ginner in a stenographic position can
at once win the favor t his EN-
ployer, thus paving the way for ad-
vaucement to an administrative po-

PRISONERS ARE APPRECIATIvE
Of the Treatment Accorded Them By
Sheriff Winters and Others at Jail

Of the Treatment Accorded Them By
Sheriff Winters and Others at Jail
The following letter of apprecia-
ton composed by the prisoners now
in the Garrett County Jail, was given
Sheriff Winters a few days ago:
sheriff and Mrs. Roy o. Winters,
Deputy and Mrs. Lester Bttinger:
I'VE, the undersigned, feel that it
is our duty to express our apprecia-
ton to you for your elegant treat
ment accorded US. We do not know
what the outcome of our trials will
be, but we are all hoping for the
best. If it be a sentence of time or
of freedom, it cannot change the fact
that we have had good treatment
and care from patient people who
have been untiring. We know that
there have been times when our feel
lngs got the best of US and our tenn
pers burst into passion, but every one
has these spells and we must forgive
one another. If we have done things
that have provoked you we wish to
ask your forgiveness. When we are
laboring either at the Cut or in the
Pen, maybe on the outside. we shall
always bear in our hearts the most
sacred respect for you. You have
been great help to us, and through
your kindness we have learned that
1t does not require cruelty to make
US mend our ways. If you had wished
to do so, you could have been. cruel,
but it pays in the long run not to be
that way and we are glad that we
have not gone through with any of
that. We think that the last few
verses of the 23d Psalm fits in here:
Surely goodness and mercy shall
follow you all the days of your life
In Gods sight you shall be rewarded.
That constitutes the serious side of
our argument.
There are many things we could
have done to express our appreciation
to you and some of them takes
money. AS we are all broke or badly
bent, we are unable to do them, so
must resort to the pen in hand stuff.
Money leaves US just like water runs
through a sieve, and we think YOU all
also find it that way. How about it?
Most OF all we enjoyed the rabbit
feast you gave US, but there's no tail
to 1t, so we can only say thanks and
hope you go hunting again soon. The
eating proposition is weighty one
as you can see by looking at those
OF US who have been here the lone
est. But we want to thank the good
cooks and recommend that they be
given medal even if it is just bag
of Gold Medal flour.
1--WE wish you health, wealth. Sue
cess and hope your shadows NAV
never grow less.

On Local Floor 35-4 Tuesday NIGHT


On Local Floor 35-4 Tuesday Night
The Cardinal Club Basket Ball
team from Barton, Md, was the at
traction on the local floor Tuesday
evening and were hopelessly outclas-
sed by the Oakland five in all depart
ments of the game, the final score
being 35-4, with Oakland on the long
end. The locals took the floor minus
Capt. "Ted"Scott, who was out on
account of an injury, but this gap
was filled by moving Hanst to the
forward position, and he gave an ex-
cellent account of himself by shoot
ing eight clean field shots and one
foul. Frantz, at guard, was in the
game up to his neck every minute of
play, and his fine defensive play cut
off many a shot from the visitors. In
fact, the play of the whole local out
tit was so fast and the defensive
work so good that the visitors seemed
bewildered, and Gagged but one field
goal throughout the game, which did
not materialize until late in the sec
ond half.
A pleasing feature of the local
games this year, in addition to the
fast work of the locals, is the excep-
tional good work of John Collins, as
referee. He is right on top of every
play and keeps the players moving
at all times, giving all corners
