As the time approaches for the pay ment of the second tuition instalment of $25, at the beginning of the sec ond semester, February 1. the con tinuation of enthusiasm among the more than 180 students revives the courage in the hearts of the local sponsors,of the enterprise. The edu cation committee of the Rotary Club, ihe organization committee of local businessmen and educators, and the University of Pennsylvania alumni who were the means of bringing the night school to Harrisburg. are all highly elated at the success so far, and feel sure of being able to secure the required number of 100 new stu dents for the freshmen class next j ear. Fed Elated They are feeling well rewarded for their efforts, by the interest shown four nights a week by the hard work ing fellows—there are two young women in the crowd, too —attending the lectures of the Philadelphia pro fessors. Another good reason for a little boastflllness is the record of the recent examinations, which show the Harrisburg class made higher average ( marks than any of the other three) extension schools conducted in Scran- r ll !

Among the alumni of the evening school in Phila delphia. where more than 3,000 men have taken the same course as is be jing given here, a census recently taken • showed that graduates of the school j average in annual increase of salary i 23 per cent. ■School Good "Mixer" | Another direct benefit is the com -1 munity of interest and association among men of the same lines of work. | Going to the same school brings into I intimate contact bankers, accountants, office clerks, salesmen, stenographers, | cashiers and offlco managers.

Real University Spirit • The University "atmosphere fostered by associating with professors from ione of the leading schools of the country gives .a broad outlook on life, and adds a first-class city feeling to i llarrisburgers.

Father and Son in Schools One of the enthusiastic students is Jacob S. Baum, an employe of Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart for about twenty- ' seven vears, and now credit man at the local store. 11l speaking about the school he said: "I have a son who is attending the Wharton School at the University in Philadelphia. I was not free to go with him ft) the city, so I am taking advantage of the ] extension here at home. I find it 'i i very great help to me and have i il- j ready been able to apply some of my new learning to daily problems. in two instances questions of commercial | law have arisen in this department that I have have been able lo solve | through the better understanding | gained in the night classes. Yes. it : takes digging, but it will be well ; worth all the work, and I think many • of the students intend to stick It out Three Year Course The course of study consists of three vears. costing SSO a year tuition. The additional total expense for books and paraphernalia is about sls. Through the efforts of State Librarian T. U Montgomery, complete sets of the text hooks have been furnished at the State library. The Harrisburg city library also has a set. The work includes three years 111 accounting, business law, money and banking, corporation finance, govern mental regulation of business, selling and advertising, industrial manage ment, real estate, insurance, invest ments. Upon satisfactory completion of the course, the student is awarded I a certificate of proficiency identical with those given at the evening school in Philadelphia. The instruction is based on two j fundamentals: Klrst, to give men en-j gaged in business a comprehensive j survey of business facts, that are im mediately available for use: second, to! develop the power of analysis, enabl- , Ing the businessman to reason coin-; plicated business problems through to J the end. i The teaching staff is composed of members of the faculty in the day and evening departments of the Wharton School In Philadelphia, and of success ful businessmen secured for special subjects in which they are authorities. Classes are Informal KBch subject is given in a lecture every other week, with a review of the work the alternate week by an other member of the faculty, a quiz master, who intimately questions the I students. The class of more than 150' Is as Informal as a primary school, the instructor calling on individuals by, name and getting Into personal ( acquaintance with the crowd. Several' of the professors call the students "boys and girls." and crack Jokes n.i freely as some of our city high school teachers. The movement for the school w»a first urged by the committee of local] University of Pennsylvania Alumni i headed by Thomas Lynch Montgom- i cry. It was then developed by Prof, i Wendell P. Ralne and Professor Pier-1 son of the Wharton School faculty, j who commenced an active campaign i among prominent Harrisburg men. Harrisbuig Newspapers Itig Factors i In connection with the plan of ad vertising the school, it is interesting' to note the part played by newspa- j pers. According to the report of the l preliminary work, by Professor Paine.) 1 46 per cent, of the students enrolled; ' first learned o fthe proposed school j j through news Items and advertise- | ] ments. Fourteen newspapers helped | lin the movement: nbout 2,000 Inches of newspaper material appeared, and i j also a number of editorials, seven of! which appeared in the Harrisburg I Telegraph. Three cartoons alsowere! j printed in the Telegraph. | Of the three Harrisburg dailies, the I Patriot had 106 inches of news; the Star-Independent, 326, and the Tele graph 421 inches. The Patriot had 00 .inches of paid matter, the Star-Inde pendent, 192, and the Telegraph, 192 Inches. Other methods used to arouse pub-; lie interest and their results were: Through friends, 34 students; through letters. 30; through the otary club,' 7; through place of employment. 12: j through Mr. Haines personal efforts, T. The Rotary club committee Is given ; special emntio nin the report. | School Has Social Side As the students are becoming better acquainted, social affairs are on the; increase. The school life is not all! I grind, and the fellows look forward) jto three years of pleasure as well as ! great ' advancement in knowledge of practical helpfulness. There is an air of good times in the class room dur ing intervals between lectures, and' j oftentimes some of the. tricksters ot' 'the crowd are up to their waggery. Figure miTlils | The other evening one of them put! ion the blackboard the following test I | questions in accounting for to test the I ability of the professor: "John had I I two cents; Tom had 3 cents; Willie | had 6 cents; Mary had 10 cents. Who had the most money? Who had the least money? Did Tom have morel cents than Willie? Did Mary have more cents than Willie? How many cents did John have? Which boy had the most money?" It is said the Philadelphia professor was puzzled for a time. CASTOR IA For Infants and Children j; In Use For Over 30 Years j i j Signature of j FEBRUARY 3, 1915.
