Commercial Department.
By Krnest Peterson.
The classes In economics under Miss
Rankin have been discussing economics
from a personal view point, and not
merely from the facts given in the
text book. Reports are given in the
classroom nearly every day on differ
ent economic subjects, and the. lives of
men who have succeeded in the busi
ness world are also reviewed.
The subjects of single tax and trusts
in Canada, as opposed to the trusts In '
the Uaited States, have been discussed
in general. During the week William
Meyer gave a report on the life of
Thomas Edison; Henry Pander ex
plained why congress was right in not
granting the Philippine Islands their
independence, and Miss Sarah Swire
discussed the mothers' pension laws.
The class is proving very beneficial to
the students, as it takes up the live
practical subjects of the present day,
and discusses them so that each mem
ber will be better fitted to go out into
the world and meet these conditions.
A locker room has been provided, in
which the boys may place their wheels
In safety. One of the students has
been appointed custodian, and Is re
sponsible for keeping the doors locked.
At the regular meeting of the Effi
ciency club, Mr. Baker, of the local Y.
M. C. A., gave a very Interesting and
helpful talk on practical efficiency, as
he meets it dally and uses it in his
business. Mr. Moore, of the county
clerk's office, also explained In detail
the workings of the naturalization
laws. The committee on selecting pins
for the club reported, and a design Was
selected. Visitors are welcome at the
programs of the club every Wednesday
afternoon.
Last Thursday was "Clean-Up" day,
so school was dismissed at noon, and
those who volunteered were assigned
certain districts to work In .
This week's motto is, "Any one can
do what is easy; what can you do?"
On Wednesday the commercial de
partment spent almost an hour and a
half in the Lincoln assembly. During
the first half hour the coming Lincoln
vaudeville show was presented to both
schools.
After Lincoln was dismissed, the
commercial department listened to a
very instructive talk by Davis Lever.
of the Palace of Education, of the
Panama-Pacific exposition. Mr. Lever
explained the value of being diligent and
ambitious, and stated that the busi
ness man prefers a steady, reliable
person to one who is extraordinary in
one line. Mr. Lever also told several
Incidents as to how employers had
watched students before deciding to
employ tnem.
Superintendent Ackerman thanked
Mr. Lever for his remarks, and along
this line he advised the pupils to read
George Herbert Palmer's "Self -Cultivation
in BntUsh." , ; . .,....
Mr. Alderman then told th students
that he appreciated their, petitions ask

the Neakahanie place of meeting. Ma

From faraway New Zealand four
letters have been received by James
B. Farrell, a pupil at the Couch
school, in answer to one written dur
ing Letter Writing week In January.
The boy's letter describing Oregon
and telling about the San Francisco
exposition went to the education de
partment at Wellington and was
turned over to pupils in the schools Of
that city for answers.
In all five replies have, been- re
ceived, one from the secretary for
education in an imposing envelope
which bears the inscription "On His
Majesty's Service" and s four from
school children. All are stamped in
purple ink. "Passed by the military
censor, N. Z."
"Your city is a city of roses while
ours ie a city of ferns," writes Mar
jorie Rash from Newton school.
The replies all have to. do with a
description of New Zealand's indus
tries and intimate references to the
war.
We should have liked to have visited
the San Francisco exposition, they
write, but San Francisco is so very
far from Wellington.
"New 'Zealand is an agricultural
country," writes one little girl to her
Portland correspondent. "It sends a
terrible amount of frosen meat to
England."
"Our boys fought well at the Dar
danelles," she says of the war. "I
knew three men who were there; one
is killed, the other two are wounded.
They told me that the landing was ter.
rible. All the sea roundabout was red
with blood. The Turks had no mercy
for them at all. We have a number of
about 2000 leave every week. If you
were In Wellington today and for
many days to come you would see
wounded soldiers walking about the
streets."
