NEW JOBS CREATED.
BY C0MPTOMETERs
Inviting Field Opened for Men
and Women at Small
Cost. .''

One Of the most inviting fields Of
employment for young women aDd
men has been opened up by the
comptometers.
1t is second only in breadth and
importance to that created by tho
advent of the typewriter. and is
even more attractive and desirable. ,
The Felt & Tarrant Manufactur-
ing Company has established
chain of schools throughout the
United States and Canada to enable
those wishing to take up this inter-
esting work to prepare and qualify
for holding such positions in short
time and at small cost.
Fifteen years ago comptometer
operation was not thought of as
vocation. At that time the almost.
limitless capacity Of the machine
was not fully understood. although
even then thousands Of compto.
meters were rendering the same
splendid service in the hands of
bookkeepers, accountants and bill
clerks that they do today .. ,..
But since the establishment Of
comptometer schools, business men
have learned to appreciate the:
economic value Of trained operators
in handling the work Of the larger
institutions-operato competent TO
apply the machine to all kinds OF
work with great saving Of time and
certainty of accuracy.
There are today thousands upon
thousands Of comptometer operators
who are holding responsible and,
well.paying positions in every part.
Of the United States and even in
foreign countries.

HEAD, HAND, HEART
EMPLOYED IN MUSIC
Sensation of Thinking, Listen
ing, and Acting Principles
Involved.
BY T. s. LOVETTE.

Is the study of music educa.
tional?
The dictionary defines the term
educational as "The systematic de-
velopment and cultivation of the
natural powers"
Kepler said, "The departments
of the study of astronomy are five:
Historical, in the matter of obser-
vations; optical, as to the hypothe.
sis; physical, as to the causes of
the hypothesis; arithmetical, as to
the tables and calculations; me-
chanical, as to it's instruments"
Substitute circular for optical and
the statement will be equally
adaptable to the subject of music.
Has the study of one history any
more mentality developing value
than another?
Fine Mental Test.
The same question would apply
to the other departments mentioned
and the same answer result. Those
doubling the mental efficiency OF
the study OF music, or who think
intelligence are recommended to
delve into Helmholtzs Sensations
of Tones" or even less complicated
works, or study the much maligned
piano as a wireless instrument. II
is really profoundly interesting as
wireless subject.
A still greater appreciation might
result from study of the seeming
discrepancies of nature which give
to the tones, intervals and chords
their individuality, color and char.
acter. THE very air we breathe,
that the plants breathe, that the
flowers breathe. the very elements
that give to all nature life and
health are the same elements that
are utilized in the production Of
musical tone.
To delve into the reason for the
twelve unequal parts of the scale
Is quite as interesting as a study
of the twelve unequal parts of the
year and the result mentally will
be the same. But let us deal with
the earlier stages OF the subject.
Fundamentally speaking, the study
of musi cdoes not deal directly with
the three RS, but rather. practi.
cally and theoretically, with the
three H's-head. hand and heart.
Involved are principles and sensa-
tions, the training of the mind to
think, the ear To listen. and the
fingers. or other members in.
volved. to act.
Students Taught to Preact.
The student Is taught to look
ahead. think ahead and to preact
Analytical capacity is fostered and
the memory developed. AS for util
ity. is there subject that is more
discussed, listened to or gives more
or greater JOY in the universe?
Is there n subject that touches hu-
manity more closely, or that is
more universal in its appeal?
Nevertheless. there are presidents
and professors of colleges who
oppose the introduction of the sub.
ject into the college curricula. They
are. however, only the musically
ignorant. who have no right to ex.
press an opinion. Verify, just as
serpents close their ears. so do
these men close their eyes TO the
light of the truth" a former
Commissioner OF Education fire.
quently remarked publicly that
"The subject of greatest educa.
tional and cultural value is music
and should be begun soon after the
beginning Of reading. writing and
arithmetic"

TEACHER STANDARD
PUZZLES EDUCATORS
Tendency Now Is to Require
High School and Year at
Normal College. Il.

A constant rise in the qualities
tions required of teachers has been
noticeable for many years, but one
is still unable to foretell what
standard will finally be fixed as a
minimum or whether such a stand
ard will be universally fixed at all.
18 States Pass Laws.
At present there would seem to he
tendency to set graduation from
a four-year high school and an adj
ditional year or two of normal train.
ing as the lowest limit of qualifica.
ton for teaching service in the
public schools. Eighteen States
have passed laws which look to the
attainment in course Of time of this
minimum limit.
. A Wisconsin, act OF 1921 exempli-
fies the tendency to fix high-school
graduation plus one or two years Of
normal training as minimum
qualification which all teachers
must possess. This act provides
that, in order TO receive any form
Of teachers license or certificate
prior to September 1, 1925, the ap-
plicant must have completed at
least three years of work beyond
the eight elementary grades.
After that date four years of such
work are required, and after Sep
tember I. 1927. five years of post.
elementary work. In all cases at
least one year Of this advanced
study must have been devoted to
instruction and training preparatory
to the work Of teaching" Certain
exceptions are made. however, in
case OF persons with experience In
teaching and holders of certificates
previously issued. 4 ~!
Old Idea Erroneous. N.
Without doubt there is need Of
further raising the qualifications re-
quired of teachers, The old idea
that II was sufficient to require
high qualifications only Of holders
Of certain higher grade certificates
has proved erroneous. II is clear
now that the lowest grade of GER
tificate which q State provides for
should represent minimum VI
qualification well In advance Of the
elementary school subjects: and

professional study would certainly

Students Can Learn in Thirty
Days by Boyd Method, Says
Journal Editor in Explanation
PROVES JUST AS Efficient
Based on Principle That Lam
guage Can Be Reduced to
1928 Symbols and Few Rules
BY ID. N. TOWE,
Associate Editor Of Boyd Journa

Associate Editor Of Boyd journal.
''How rs it possible that one
school can teach Shorthand in
thirty days when it takes from
nine to twelve months in the other
schools?" That question can be
answered in this manner. How is
1t possible that today we can sit
In our homes and hear musical
concerts hundreds of miles away?
Simply because DR.. Lee De Forest
gave to the world the radiophone;
the Wright brothers discovered the
science Of flying, which enables a
by rail, thereby utilizing time.
There are thousands of instances
where progress is evident in travel,
In communication and in the
medical science; yet in shorthand a
few critics seem to contend that
there need be no progress in this
field. Progress has been made in
shorthand. The modern stenog-
rapher Of today is not using the
system used by Trio, Cicero's stem
ographer in 60 b. c., neither are
they using the system invented by
Timothy Bright in 1886. The old
systems in vogue today, however,
are based largely on principles in
vented in 1887. The crude and
complex methods. rules, and thou.
sands of word signs which consti.
tutes these old systems naturally
makes the study Of shorthand
very difficult road for young
person to pursue.
LANGUAGE ANALYZED.
Necessity is the mother Of in
vention. Robert Boyd, "A former
newspaper man, after many months
OF experimenting, discovered in the
year 1901 that the English language
could he written with 112 syllables
and three simple rules. His dis
covery made shorthand so simple
that even a child of few years
could learn 1t as he would his
alphabet. Because of this SIM
plicity. and the. speed with which
the system can be written. the
popularity of Boyd shorthand is
rapidly growing in all sections of
the world, and thousands of stu.
dents of the old system are study
ing and using it.
Shorthand is simply a method of
recording speech accurately and
rapidly. The system used in doing
It matters little, as the large ma
josfty of employers of office help
know absolutely nothing about
shorthand systems. Results are
what they want. The advantage of
the Boyd system over the old sys.
TENS is I'm the time IL takes TO
master IL. The same class of die
tation is taken in Boyd schools az
inssthe other schools teaching the
old methods, but with Boyd short
hand one takes It after twenty-five
to thirty schools days, while with
the old systems nine to twelve
months. ...
SYSTEM IS SIMPLE.
The graduates Of the Boyd schools |
hold as good positions as those of
any other system, for they are In
every kind of office position i'm.
agtllable, A few try to believe
That, simply because the system is
easy to master, II Is not as good |
a! the systems which are difficult |
TO master. If that is true, the |
Chinese language Ia the best |
language. Progressive people be-
Neve in the results of progress and |

Mexican Petroleum can usually be

the time was ripe TO squeeze the

lication of a statement showing
earnings for the first seven months
of the current year was seized upon
as a pretext for running up the
price. and at 1853 the shares were
