Additional Assistance Necessary in
the Teaching Force.
In this city where so many young
men and women begin earning their
living before they have been able to
secure even a common-school educa
tion, to say nothing of perfecting
themst.ves in any special branch of
work, there has always been a great
need of a school in our midst that
would offer instruction during the
evening hours, and thus give those
who cannot attend day school an
opportunity to acquire a good- com
mon school education, or prepare
themselves for special lines of work,
juch as shorthand, typewriting and
book-keeping.
The School of Commerce, of our
Normal School, "has met thlg need,
and Is offering Instruction during the
evening hours in all preparatory
branches, shorthand, typewriting and
book-keeping. The evenings may
here be spent both pleasantly and
profitably at a small cost Many of our
young men and women are availing
themselves of the opportunity, and
classes in the above named branches
are being conducted.
Our young people should not miss
this chance for self-Improvement In
these days when competition Is so
great, and when so many are prepar
ing for responsible and lucrative posi
tions, those who do not thus prepare
will find themselves doing the hard
est kinds of work for the least pay.
A knowledge of shorthand and book
keeping since the greatly increased
demand along these lines Is the key
which will unlock the door of success
to more young men and women than
any other branch of industry.
The attendance on the night ses
sions of the School of Commerce has
increased so much of late that it
has been found necessary to have ad
ditional assistance in the teaching
force.' .... ., ..-
Hours of session and rates, of tui
tion can be ascertained by calling up
on or addressing . the principal, Mr.
W. L. Edwards. . "
