STRONG DEMAND
FOR GOOD HELP

w. B. Barger. president Of the
Beutel Business college. reported
Friday there In an unusually strong
demand for well trained help nov,
and that there has been more than
four undergraduates gone to work
from his school to every one who
graduates from the secrstarial
course.
"The government" Bsrger ex-
planned, "is taking students for
work in departmental and field
service. A former student of
Beutel Business college was in yes
terday who works at Fort Peck,
Mont, and stated that II was al
most impossible to get trained
boys. He states that many would
like to quit who have government
positions. but others cannot be
found to take their places.
The better classes of students
are taking commercial work. as
they have found 1t pays better
than other lines of work. Civil
service pays from sos to $3.50 a
month to start, and the demand Is
far larger than the supply for those
who make good grades. With a
dropping off of attendance In BUSH
ness colleges and an increase in
business will make the demand for
trained help stronger than ever.
