Mr. EDITOR:—In the last issue of your estimable paper we noticed an interesting item upon several proposed additions to our college course. We desire that the readers of your journal should know that such an addition is not intended. We do not consider it advisable to add the languages to our well established curriculum of study. Our object is to thoroughly equip "young America" so that he may war and win all contests in the commercial world.
We plan the work of our institution upon the supposition that all graduates are to cast their lot with the American nation, and consequently we cannot but regard the Latin, French and Spanish languages as unnecessary to the strictly commercial course. However, we have aside from the commercial department, a preparatory department of the Lawrence Business College. We find many of our students desirous of entering the commercial department are deficient in the common branches, and we cannot conscientiously allow them to attempt on business practice unless they possess a good practical knowledge of reading, spelling, grammar, arithmetic and geography. This department, then, is designed for those who find it necessary to brush up in the common English branches.
Our aim is not to supplant but to supplement the work of the literary college, therefore we refer all desirous of pursuing the languages, to the University of our State, of which we are all so justly proud.

assembly and in the various departments were animated, enjoyable and able.
Last Monday morning four of the young lady students with gentlemen friends went up the river to spend the day. About 3 P, M. a terrific thunder storm came up. They sought shelter at Mr. Cameron's, but were driven away, and forced to go half a mile to the next house. Before they reached this they were drenched through, and were literally "as wet as a rag." Howe Lowe spirited Miss S. felt tongue cannot tell, but she says it will take more than Ropes to drag her to a picnic up the river again.
The Lawrence and Atchison Business College have just issued a most artistic and neatly arranged catalogue. It contains a full and clear description of the course of study, items of general information about the colleges and several articles of interest upon business education, besides a full list of the students in attendance during the past year—over four hundred in number. These colleges are certainly thorough and standard institutions, and deserving of the increased patronage they receive every year.
The Commercial Educator, a journal of interest and profit to all, is the title of a well edited periodical just received. It contains many interesting articles upon education and success in the financial world. Most of S. S. Packard's address before the Business Educator's Association, held at Jacksonville, Ill., July 9, 1885, is given in full. This address is upon the American Business College. It is practical, to the point, contains a vast deal of importance and is exceptionally well written. The Educator is published quarterly at Lawrence, Kansas, and is well worth 40 cents a year, the subscription price. Sample copy will be sent upon application.
S. T. Field & Co., with their usual enterprise, expect to extend unusual inducements in the book line the coming year.

Before buying your books be sure to give them a call. They will extend you the best bargains to be secured in the city. Address them for their catalogue of school books.

The other evening I was sitting on the sofa, and Mr. Smith was sitting on a chair in the other end of the room, as usual, when I called his attention to the marvelous fact that a man's arm and a woman's waist are the same length. And then what do you suppose he did?"
