TilK BEV: OMAHA, TUESDAY. APRIL 23. 1912. NEW SCHOOL OF COMMERCE ' Commercial Club i is to tntertain j Its New Members ! Department to Opea in Leavenworth Building Next Fall. v GRATT HURTS FOE TEACHERS Lara-e Atteaaeace U Expected froea Ike Start aae Hellcf for the Hl(h School la Aallcl-sated. Sur-rlntendcnt E. V. Graft o( the public schools is scouttrur for commercial teach ers for the staff of the new Omaha High School of Commerce, which will open In the Leavenworth building next fall. Prin cipal Rusmeisel will have charge of the school and several of the present teachers of commerce at the hlel) school will as sist, but the staff will be deficient, even with all the present corps. "We will need about six new teachers," aid Superintendent Graff, "and they are hard to find. Our commercial teachers generally are either commercial men without teaching experience or teachers without buslenss experience." Mr. Graff thinks one of the needs of modern education Is a training school for commercial teacher;. There Is now nowhere a commercial normal school where teachers are trained to teach com mercial courses. The commercial course In high and normal schools has been so much in demand in recent years that a large number of teachers are required, he says. As there Is no training for audi teachers they must, of necessity, be deficient and Inexperienced in the be ginning. It Is believed the Omaha High School of Commerce will open next fall with a large attendance. Teachers at the high school have been asked to find out how many pupils In that Institution have planned to take up work at the new school. Many have responded. As soon as school dotes work of re modeling the Leavenworth school will begin. A few changes will suffice, with the equipment that will be installed. As there are about MO commercial student ai the high school that Institution, now congested, will bo relieved, but even with the new sdditlon will not have an un occupied seat. Arrangements are goir.g ahead for the big meeting for the new members of the Commercial club, which has been post poned from April 3 to May S. The date was changed because of conflict with the beefsteak vaudeville scheduled by the Ad club. Committees have been appointed to ar range for the Auditorium meeting. A rrograra of speaim; and vaudeville stunts to last two and a halt hours Is being planned by the following commit tee: T. B. Coleman. H. V. Pierpoilt. W. S. Wright and Colt Campbell on Invita tions; S. W. Smith. W. M. Burgess, F. E. Zeiler and J. J. Deright, arrangements; Joseph Barker, Sam Burns. Jr., G. & Maverstick and G. H. Kelly, speakers, and J. F.
