BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION COURSES
The third year of the Business Ad
ministration Course wll begin with
the opening of College on the 14th of
September. This course was not es
tablished until the second year of
the College. President Bunnell ap
pointed as Professor of Business Ad
ministration LaDessa Ilali of the
University of Idaho. Professor Hall
organized this work aid under her
direction the course has been emi
nently successful. There were 17
enrolled in the course the first year
and 20 enrolled last year. Upon the
reappointment of Professor Ilali tor
the third year President Buunel
recommended an increase in salary
and this recommendation was grant
ed by the Board of Trustees.
The following statement from the
192-26 catalogue gives the general
scope of the work offered:
“The Business Administration four
year course is intended primarily for
those who are looking forward to a
business career. Modern business
has reached the stage where internal j
and external economics must be real- j
ized. It has -taken its place among j
learned professions because it has1
adapted itself to the necessary pro- ^
fessional standard and requirements
•College trained stenographers and
typists, accountants, salesmen, and
clerks are in great demand. The in
dustrial management of today seeks
to reduce waste ih materials and la
bor and to promote the most effec
tive organization of the factors ot
production. Such a task requires in
addition to special knowledge a vis
ion of the highest order. A knowl
edge of accounting, statistics, labor
efficiency, resources, business law is
fundamental for a proper understand
ing of our modern industrial system.
Some studies as sociology, govern
ment and history provide the larger
equipment necessary for dealing with
the industrial system. The Depart
ment of Business Administration
aims to offer a general background
suited to all forms of business.
The Three Majors:
“General Business—The major in
General Business is intended for
those who are looking forward to a
business career but have not yet
made up their minds regarding the
particular field they will enter. This
course is also intended for those
who may never contemplate a busi
ness career at all, but wish a well
rounded training adapted to any vo
cation in life.
“Accounting—This course includes
three years’ instruction beyond the
freshman year, with emphasis on
cost accounting, corporation account
ing and the preparation and inter
pretation of state, municipal, nad
other financial records.
“Secretarial Science—Realizing the
wide opportunities for young men
and women with a thorough secre
tarial training, the Business Admin
istration Department offers a secre
tarial major.”
Upon the completion of the West
Wing the Business Administration
Department will be moved to the
first floor of this building where it
will be provided with larger and
much more suitable quarters. These
rooms will be ready for occupancy
by the 11th of September, registra
tion day. It is expected that there
will be a large enrollment in this
course. It is not the intention of
the College to make this a substi
tute for a business college course
but the course has been so arranged
that during the first two years’
work the student can become profi
cient in stenography, typing and ac
counting. Several students have thus
taken advantage of the opportunities
offered in the course and are now
earning good salaries.
Professor Hall will conduct the
classes in Stenography, Typing, Ac
counting, Office Management, and
Psychology of Advertising and Sell
ing. President Bunnel will give the
courses offered in Economics, Am
erican 'Government, Sociology and
Business Law. The Board ol Trus
tees established the position ol In
structor in Business Administration
and it is expected that it will be ne
cessary for President Punnell to
make an appointment to this posi
tion. %

Taking Memory Lessons
from the World’s Expert
At least a dozen Seward business
men and residents have signified
their intention of taking the four
lesson memory course from Charles
W. Ham ley, reputed to b^ one
the world’s most brilliant memory
experts, who will arrive in SewTard
j from Valdez Saturday on the steam
I er Northwestern and who will give
a free lecture and demonstration at
the Liberty Theater Monday night.
There are a number of recent ar
rivals in Seward who were passen
gers on the steamer Yukon, on which
vessel Mr. Hamley came north on,
and they claim his demonstration in
the social hall of the ship was one
of the most interesting performances
it had ever been their pleasure to
witness. Herbert Johnston, who ar
rived in town on the Yukon, is as
sisting Mr. Hamley for a few weeks
on his Alaska tour. Leon Urbach,
local business man, is enthusiastic
over the prospect of taking the
course.
The London telephone company
states they received only four com
plaints for each 1000 patrons.
If You Are Doing Business
With Mail Order Concerns
If you are sending your cash out of town—doing business
with mail order concerns—keep mum about the growth the indus
tries—the advantages or beauty of the town. You have no boast coming, it
is a good town not because of you, but in spite of you.
If you are not a Home Trader You are a
Traitor to the Best Interests of the Town
This community is made up of individuals. Its prosperity
depends on individual effort. If you send your money away for goods
that can be purchased here, you injure the town—and yourself
When you buy from a mail order concern—your money is
gone for good. Not one red cent of it ever comes back. None of
it pays for taxes. None of it pays store rent, clerk hire—or does a blessed
one of the dozens of things accomplished by home-spent money.
Suppose everyone in this 'city sent away for their mer
chandise. The town would go to rack and ruin. You wouldn t be
able to give property away. There would be little employment for labor.
Schools—churches—everything of a public nature would be stripped to poor
house poverty. There’s no reason why anyone should deal with mail order
concerns. Your home town merchant carries the best grades of merchandise
on the market. They are goods of recognized merit. They are sold at
practically one price the world over. You know you are getting fu“ value m
quality. The biggest manufacturers in the country insure that with their
trademarks. Your purchases are protected. There is no buying dissatisfaction
—long waits—long distance return costs—or delivery charges.
Your dealer appreciates your patronage. ‘ He puts forth
every effort to hold your trade. He becomes intimately acquainted .
with your likes and dislikes—consequently can serve you in the most satisfac
tory manner. And to top off all of these important advantages—your local
merchant can save you money. - A
By all means talk up your town—but first win the right to
sneak by spending your money at home. It is the solid worth of home
spent money — not words that establishes the public wealth and welfare
of the community.
Donate to the good of the town by trading IN town—and get the greatest value for your dollars*
