m \UR aim in this Department is to prepare young- men and^^ women for the duties and responsibilities of active businesslife—to make practical book-keepers of them in the shortest pos-sible time consistent with thoroughness and accuracy.

Under this heading- we introduce our practical system of Book-keeping-, combining theory with practice throughout the entiresystem. In the initiatory department the student receives a thoroughdrill in the principles of book-keeping, the forms of negotiablepapers and laws governing the same.

Advanced Department. In this department all documents and commercial forms areactually prepared by the student ; he is practically a business manand book-keeper combined, as he personally enters into a series ofbusiness transactions, and keeps a correct record of the same. Each paper or transaction is just the same as in actual busi-ness life. It gives him practice in doing- business at the bank andother offices, and makes him systematic and accurate in all hisdealings. The fact that this system enters into detail, gives an experiencewhich would require years to obtain in any other way. Arithmetic. This subject is a cardinal point in our Commercial Course.The instruction differs from most schools, both in method of pre-sentation and matter taught. Our plan is designed to develop thereasoning powers, rather than to store up rules in the memory,hence the mental training, acquired while reasoning out problems,is valuable to the student and the results are very gratifying to theteacher.
