Since there will be no mid-year entering class in January, all children who will be six years of age before January 1, 1918, will be received when school opens in September. It is important that all pupils shall enroll on the opening day of school. Commercial Course in High School. In Addition to the vocational course which have been offered and proved so successful for several years, the Board of Education has added for this year an unusually strong program of commercial work. Mr. E. C. Payne who gave a night course so efficiently last year had been engaged to conduct commercial department in the high school. He will offer two courses. One will include commercial arithmetic, commercial law, business forms, and bookkeeping and the other will include shorthand and typewriting. This is another step in the direction of supplying that education which not only gives scholarship, but also prepares for citizenship in relation to life work. The Teachers J. E.
