year. Mr. Hohn paid quite a tri-
bute to Dr. Gus Levin, a former
Brenham boy, for the part that he
has played in civic activities at
Fayetteville.
The speaker next launched into
the real purpose of his talk and
that was, to remind the business

of the farmers of that trade ter-
ritory will determine whether
Fayetteville will stay where it is
as a thriving little, growing city
or whether it win ’die of d.*y rot.

who first cultivated the soil in
this section of the state to say
that the young roSss are not mak-

adding: "They had fertile land
which they broke up, and without’

that soil they let it wash away

"“U7 J. Boehm, professor of busi-
ness administration, pointed out
some of the features of commer-
cial work that make it so valu-
able.
The commercial department
has become the largest at Blinn.
Even teachers' colleges a r e
stressing that line of work.
Mr. Boehm cited example of
the practicability of busineaa
trainlag where the osnissioa of a
comma caused a firm to toee a
great deal of money; that tbe in-
stallment plan which is presented
in economics takes as much as
fifty per cent in interest; that the
depression was largely due to in-
adequate records of many firms
who needed bookkeepers; the
housewife needs training to bud-
get her expenditures.
One of the new courses to be
offered next term is business law.
Mr. Boehm said that it would in-
clude the principles most likely to
be heeded by the average businesa
man In his work.
Then there are the social as-
pects of a business training where
one could use the typewriter.1 and
