$50 rapidly has the registration in
rGhis field grown" said Prof. H. c.
Dale, head of the department of eco
nomics and political science (busi-
ness) at the university, 'that next
years additions to the instructionaI
staff can scarcely take care CT the
existing teaching load.
'An addition assistant professor OF
economics Mr.. Lynn 1. Schoonover,
comes to the university from Albion
college, Michigan. Mr.. Schoonoyer is
a graduate of the Wisconsin State
Normal school, 1909, and holds the de-
grees of Ph. B. and A. M. from the
the University of Wisconsin. This
summer he is completing one year of
further graduate study at the Uni
yersity of Chicago where he is a
candidate for the degree of Phi. D. in
business administration
CAS- Mr.. Schoonovar has specjali. ed
in insurance, the department will add
courses in this field the coming year.
In fact most Of Mr.. Schoonover's work
will be in applied economies, includ-
ing marketing, transportation, adver-
tising, craftsmanship, and the like.
Mrs. Schoonover, formely an instruc-
tor in dramatic art, is woman of
singular charm, and it is expected
that they will both AID much to the
life Of the community.
"The university regrets the loss
from the departmental STAFF Of Miss
Grace E. Ball, assistant professor in
economics. Miss Ball was an unus-
ually successful teacher of the sec
retaria1 sciences. Her acceptance of
stenographic position with the Mer-
camille Trust company CT San Fran
cisco, however, occasioned her res
ignation.
Thorough SecretariaI Courses
Through it's secretarial course the
department of business serves dual
purpose. In the first place it trains
each year an ever increasing num-
Der Of young men and women for cler
ical positions. This training includes
not only fundamental courses in eco
nOmics and business but also high
standard work in stenOgraphy and
typewriting as well as courses in Of
flee organization and kindred sub
jects. Most of the students in this
field elect the Graham-Pitmanic sys-
tenn of shortmanr
"a quite different function is also
performed by this department in
training teachers of commercial sub
jects for Idaho high schools.
sSIn order to meet the demand for
specialists in commercial subjects
and because Idaho high schools ov
erwhelmingly teach the GREGG sys-
TEN Of shorthand, the university is
offering for the first time beginning
courses in Gregg. Advanced dictation
courses in this system have been given
for a number of years so that those
who began Gregg in high school might
continue it in college. Now, however,
by offering elementary Gregg also, the
university is in a position to help with
the solution of the teacher training
problem.
'Since the aims of these two di-
isions of the work are so different and
since the demand for both lines is
heavy, the department has been
strengthened by the appointment of
two instructors.
Two Short Hand Instructors
To handle the Graham-Pitmanic
shorthand, the typewriting and secre-
tarial courses, the university an
nOunces the appointment of Miss Ida
May Pope of Monroe, Oregon. Miss
OPS hdO ACI d. a. u0SlSG lIOlI oACT'
phens college, Missouri, and has also
been a student at Oberlin. She is not
only a very successful teacher III her
chosen field but has also had the ad
vantage of the contacts which coma
from actual business experience. She
is certified teacher of the !'hoLo
graphic Institute, Cincinnati.
"Miss Barbara Gamwel1 comes to
the university as instructor in this
to offer courses in Gregg
and in teacher training. Miss Gam
well holds the degree of bachelor Of
business administration from the Uni
versity of Washington, where she
made an excellent record. She has
had the added advantage of special
training in the University of Wash
ington college of education. She has
been very successful teacher of
shorthand and holds a Gregg certifi-
cate (cum laude).
To Instruct in Rural Sociology
Not all the demand for this depart
ments work comes from business
students. Prof. Dale stated that new
courses in political science and soci-
olOgy are also to be Offered the coin
ing year. One of the religious de-
nominations strong in the northwest
has arranged to send a group Of cler-
gymeH to Moscow for special study
in rural sociology at the University
of Idaho, so important has this phase
of the work become, under Prof.
Brownies direction.
Altogether, the addition to the fac
ulty of this department and the in
struction outlined for the coming
year insure the continuation Of the
high standard of scholarship for
which Idaho has been SO notably
recognized
