Charse made in a comrnunica-1

lion to The News-Times that the high school commercial department is Inefficient and that the rsteblishinfnt of a commercial course for s. cnth and eighth Krude students at the grammar school is a mistake wore denied Friday morning by school authorities. I'.oth PupU of .-Vhool J. F. Nuner and John A. I5yrs. principal of the Knmimar .school, uphold th action of the school t.arl in giving commercial (f)iirM? in the pramni.ir praU-f. Something like 65 pupils at the grammar school have enrolled in the bookkeeping course there. i:okkeeplnK will b the only commercial course given this semester, but it is planned to enlarge the department later and Ive stenography, typewriting and other business courses. Principal Hyers said that a small beginning was beinK made ir. order that the pupils could gradually w ork into the other subjects. In defending the action of the liool authorities i". giving bookkeeping to the gran. mar school pupils, both Mr. Nuner and Mr. Bycrs pointed out that practically all of the children "who were taking work in this subject were students who probably will not have a chance to go to either hUh school or business college. Both of the educators said that the course was ghen in order to allow the pupil to gain a knowledge of bookkeeping for their own personal use and not with the idea that they would en into ottlces as trained bookkeepers. They said that children who might later enter business for themselves might benefit by the knowledge of the subject gained while in school. In rtferring to the charge that only a small percentage, of the students who take commercial work in tht high school graduate. Supt. Nuner s ib! that many of them took the subjects merely as sidelines. He pointed out that the pupils realize the ne essity of having a knowledge of business methods, regardless of whether they take up office work an o profession after leaving school. He said that many pupils in this department leave school before completing their courses. M. I . Puterbaugh. president of the South. Hend Business college, chirked that there was something wrmu' with the commercial department of the nigh school when only seven out of 140 students taking the courses were graduated In that department. He said that three of these graduates were working in offices now, two came to his school to finish their courses, one had gone to college and the seventh could not V accounted for. Mr. Puterb.umh said that there a heavy denHand from business men for otüce help at the present time. He charged that if the school authorities were spending the public's money to maintain a commercial department in connection with the city schools, the department phould be efficient enough to at least partly supply the demand for office help. He said that he ww not claimin-: that the instructors were not competent. pointing out that many of the teachers were exceptionally well trained, but he added that something was lacking some place. One of Mr. Puterbaugh's greatest .lJoetions to the idea of giving commercial Fuhjorts to grammar school pupils, according to his own statements, is that the children are too young. He said that business men would not hire 15-year-old children

to take charge of their books handle their correspondence.
