The school directors of the

ing of next week. The board is plan
ning to add another branch of study
In tho school's curriculum, that of
a commercial course. It will in
dude stenography, typewriting, spell
ing, writing, etc., In fact everything
tnat is included in a regular business
course. If the board is successful
in establishing this now branch of
study In the 'Honesdalo High school,
pupils who have graduated from
oiner senoois will do given an op
portunity to take the commercial
course here instead of going to cities
as is now the case, it will also af.
ford tho pupils of tho school tho
same privilege of obtaining a busi
ness course, whereas now after grad
nation, some are unable to take up
a blmilar course In a business school'
or college. Honesdale Is advancing
and its school necessarily must ad
vance with It. Tho proposition is
an ideal ono and should, by all pos
sible means, be adopted. Tho tuition
that might bo received from out-of-town
students would undoubtedly
pay for a teacher and if properly ad
vertised, there may bo a neat sum
In the treasury at tho end of tho
school year.
