Mrs. Frances Moon Butts of the
Washington Business high school,

She is completing an Interna
tional surrey of the status of com
mercial education in the 4 8 coun
tries that are represented in the
federation. The report will be
made at the biennial meeting of
the federation in Geneva in Au
gust, 1929.
Mrs. Butts has completed her
survey of standards in the non
academic subjects of this coun
try, and has learned that 1155
different non-academic courses
are listed for college entrants ac
ceptance by the 182 leading col
leges and universities of the coun
try. Twenty-three per cent of the
total are commercial courses, and
many of the colleges require one
or more such subjects for en
trance. "It is evident that the non-aca-

material for school use and as to
whether or not It would meet any
particular need. Many answers
were received and were in the af
firmative. "However, before any general
distribution had been made on the
basis of these favorable reports,
a number of persons, including
some of those to whom I had sub
mitted the light and power mono
graph for critical study, pointed
out that while it contained a great

to the monograph, she offered to

the call for return was received.
