The motion waa enthusiastically received by the other members of the general alumnae association, and united action on the movement awaits the meeting of the executive committee of tha association, which ia to be held shortly. Already, however, individual merrlhers of the alumna have taken lip with gusto the suggestion of the college club and arranged for benefit bazaars to be hold this month. Flora Maria Morrison, 17A (31C), and Helen Varrcll, 17A, will conduct an Elizabethan Bazaar nt the Washington Club, East Orange, Thursday afternoon and evening, December 13, for the ambulance fund. At Convent Station a "Beth Am bulance Bazaar" will engage the stu dents all day Saturday, December IS. Most of the articles have been contributed by the sisters as their contribution to the ambulance fund.

Interest In both bazaars runs high and a substantial amount Is hoped for as the result of the endeavors. The motion adopted by the college club calls for 800 $50 Liberty bonds, the Interest from which will pur chase and equip the ambulance and maintain it during the war. At tha end of the war this fund will be used as a nucleus for a building fund. In the academy students have Joined the Catholic Women's League of Morris-town, and sweaters are seer! on every side, pupils knitting every free moment, and already they have provided substantial aid to the league.

Mr. Freedman, president of the Rhodes Commercial School of 8 to 14 West 126th street, New York city, when asked the other day to tell the secret of the wonderful success of his school, answered by pointing out that the Rhodes' Commercial School differed from many business schools In several respecta In the first place, each regular course pursued, whether the stenographic, bookkeeping or secretarial, entitles trie pupil to at' tendance In the regular high school course In English.

This branch of study embraces both literary and business English. The aim Is to Impart to the pupils the ability of expressing themselves coherently and forcibly, and of acquiring 'the power to write fluently and easily In a telling manner. The shortcomings of thousands of young people In the business world In this necessary and Indispensable part of training Is well known. Innumerable positions leading to promotion and advancement go begging at present on ac count of the scarcity bt such trained young men and women. Second, the Rhodes Commercial School offers a thorough course In business Spanish, which may bo pursued In con junction with any one of the regular business courses.

Pupils are welt grounded In the elements as well as tn conversational ability. A regular text Is followed, supplemented by oral drills In questions and answers on topics In relation to commerce and dally life, ur commerce and social relations with the South Americans are becoming closer and a knowledge of Spanish an acqui sition that yields both financial and cul tural advantagea Mr. Freedman also pointed out the high quality of the teaching staff. In order to be Identified with the Rhodes Commercial School a teacher must nol only be qualified and seasoned but be able to withstand the strongest test at a professional and experienced teacher. The bookkeeping department Is headed by Prof.

Soon after the tes-irons commenced, he says, the children began correspondence In Esperanto with children In foreign countries. Hundreds of letters were received from all parts of the world. "But," says Mr. Sanderson, "it Is from a purely educational rather than from a commercial point of view that I welcome the introduction of Erpcranto Into the school time table.

At Clason Point Military Academy, Clason Point, New York city, Thanksgiving Day was anticipated by the students of tho academy, as they celebrated the festival on tho preceding Tuesday. On the evening of that day all the boys cheerfully united In giving a fine -enter- and musical numbers.

Each bf the three divisions had a quartet, and for good measure the day scholars had one more. The instrumental music on the stage was a novelty, the playing of J. Bechtcl and F. Johnson being very good and the witty dialogue that followed was duly appreciated. The second division quartet takes the palm for creating merrl-rrient they Just march on the stage and everybody feels happy.

The best part of the varied programmo unquestionably was the excellent music rendered by the orchestra. The teacher. Prof. Knowles. and the manager.

Brother Elveus, are to be congratulated on its success. H. Relchert sang in a strong, clear voice that won him an encore, and Raymond Flecks addrefs showed maturity of thought J. Rellly read a well written account of the victories of the football teams. Messrs John Hector, Thomas Klley and Peter Scozzarl mounted the stage and gave short talks that were very appropriate.

One of the best num bers on the evening's programme was the masterly recitation of Fergus McLougn- lln. Previous to this entertainment alt the cadets had attended tha annual banquet tn honor of the athletic association. The dining halls had been tastefully decorated by committees, the third division having transformed their, room Into a bower of beauty. All the tables were loaded with delicacies and dainties, and the cadets, having good appetites, en- Joyed a first class feast. To promote facility and accuracy or expression In oral English and to give a further Impetus to public speaking, a portion of time has been allotted at the beginning of the English lesson.

In which the several students briefly discuss the appointed topics and reply to pertinent questions. To do Justice to themselves and to make a favorable Impression, tnn students willingly visit the school library to gain Information on the subject treated. This tends to form the good habit of seeking knowledge at a reliable source. The discussion with Its accompanying criticism develops a confidence and self-possession that are quite a reserve power in public utterance. Tho method, employed Is already bearing fruit and promises much for the future.
