- Classes in salesmanship, business or
ganisation and solution of O. P. A. prob
lems have only about IB members each,
and those In advertising, business law,

more members if they are to be con
: tlnued. These latter classes have about
. 10 members each, but it 4 believed to-
night's meeting' will bring the enroll
: ment somewhat higher.
