based on the Christian phtl
osopby of life and training of
future citizens to their high
est usefulness in public serv
ice, the Merritt Davis School
of Commerce, 428 State street.
In Salem, Is operating In Its
12th successful year. In that
time many students have been
trained for responsible posi
tions which they have filed
creditably. The school was
established in 1941 by Merritt
Davis, who spent 90 years of
his life training students In
business courses. Merritt Da
vis retired from active educa
tional service in 19S0, after
being Identified with commer
cial schools in Eugene, Salem,
and after SO years spent as the
head of the Commercial , De
partment of the Salem high
school, he established Merritt
Davis School of Commerce.
Ellis L. Drake. Identified
with the Merritt Davis School
of Commerce for four years,
has been manager of the
school since February 19S3.
Since its founding the school
has developed an intimate
faculty - student relationship
which makes for efficient
training which carries over to
good employer-employee re
lationship. Five courses of training are
offered including a secretar
ial course, business adminis
tration course, professional
accounting course, steno
graphic course and, an execu
tive secretarial course.
Business Administration
Coarse
The business administration
course, In this school, is the
same as that offered by most
colleges or universities as a
standard four - year course.
However, since It is operated
as strictly a business admin
istration course, which con
centrates training to the nec
essary subjects, completion of
this course can be made In
only 20 months at this school.
The professional accounting
course ' is one of the mam
courses taught and is a fully
rounded-out business course.
It Is a diploma course of wide
scope and of practical char
acter In accountancy. Com
pletion of this course enables
the graduate to earn good
money from the outset and to
forge ahead Into a responsible
position as accountant, man
ager or Into the ownership of
a business.
The stenographic course is
designed to be completed in
a minimum amount of time.
It is, of course, not as com
plete as the secretarial or
executive secretarial course
but Is a strong, thorough
course based on the steno
graphic requirements of the
ordinary business office. The
average time for completion
is 5 to 8 months less previous
work taken, it is an economi
cal course and popular In
many respects.
The secretarial course, of
fered by the Merritt Davis
School of Commerce fits one
for an office secretarial posi
tion, for a good salary and
rapid advancement. The com
pletion of the work in this
course requires from seven to
11 months, less, of course
previous work taken.
secretarial
court la one that la recog
nised as most efficient with a
diversity of study that thor
oughly trains the student far
one of the most Important po
sitions in the business world
viz., a business secretary. All
of the essentials tor an execu
tive secretary are Included In
this course which ran be com
pleted In to 12 4 months.
In preparing these eourwM
the management of the Mer
ritt Davis School of Com
merce has kept the fact to
mind that they all must fee
strong and brief. Consequent
ly all of the non-essertUals
have been eliminated thereby
making each prescribed
course as brief as possible
consistent with thoroughness.
"By this method of person
alized individual instruction
the student Is enabled to pro
gress as rapidly as his appli
cations and capabilities per
mit," stated Ellis Drake. -The
development of the achieve
ment of a well-mannered,
well rounded, specialized per
sonality Is ont of the import
ant functions of the training;
given students in this school)
of Commerce. This factor is
materially augmented by the
cultivation of interest and ap- j
preclation of being -able to '
think clearly, constructively,
Independently and to commu
nicate thought In correct and
effective English," further
emphasized Mr. Drake.
Enrollment At Any Time
It is a policy of the school
that students may enroll at
any time mutually agreed upon
in advance between the stu
dent and the school manage
ment. The entrance require
ments are high school gradua
tion, however, if the prospec
tive student is beyond high
school age and not having
been able to complete high!
school, evidence of ability to :
benefit by training in this;
school is acceptable.
Contributing to the success!
of the Merritt Davis School of
Commerce Is the character of
the student body. The schpol
has a capacity for 100 stu
dents in the day school and
100 students in the night
classes. Serious minded, am
bitious young men and wom
en, with high ideals and am
bitions, come to this school
from some of the best homes
in the state of Oregon.
High school graduates will
soon be forced to decide what
channel they wish to choose as
their life's vocation. The Mer
ritt Davis School of Commerce
offers a wonderful opportunity
for these graduates to continue
their preparation for the future, j
I nil nign acnooi eaucaiion
lays a foundation on which to
build a highly specialized train
ing. The Merritt Davis School of
Commerce keeps In constant
contact with all employment
opportunities. The high stan
dard of work which gradu
ates from this school are cap
able of doing has enabled the
school to promptly place gra
duates in desirable positions
"We invite prospective stu
dents, and their parents to in
vestigate these opportunities
and, learn in detail, the ad
