PLAN GRADUATE WORK IN COMMERCE SCHOOL Northwestern University Establishes New Department in View of Trend Toward Business So many graduates of universities are seeking business life that an- nouncement is made by Northwestern University School of Commerce of theh establishment of a graduate di- vision upon the completion of which the degree of Master of Business will be conferred. According to Dean Ralph E. Heilman the purpose of the move is to provide professional train- ing in commerce and industry for the young men and women who have [already passed through the univers- ities and who feel that they fall short of business knowledge. Admission will be to those who hold a degree from a collegiate, scientific or pro- fessional school of recognized stand- ing. Influx to Business "We have discovered that Chicago commerce and industry more and more is taking on men and women of coilege training," commented Dean Heilman.

It is the desire of these men and women to better their positions and to make themselves more valuable to their employers. On the other hand, the heads of these houses are just as anxious to see the university graduate obtain commercial train- ing,--something that few universities or colleges now give. Indeed, firms are advising the university men and women to take a graduate course in Northwestern School of Commerce as one sure method of making faster headway in their special field." Announce Two Plans Northwestern University in this connection announces two plans: One comprehends a full-time course at Evanston and the other is intended for students who cannot afford to give all their time to study but who desire to perfect their commercial training at evening classes or in the late afternoon or on Saturday after- noons. This latter group are in- structed at Northwestern University building, 31 West Lake street, Chi- cago. CHICAGO MOTOR CLUB IS MARKING AN IDEAL LOS ANGELES ROUTE Rapidly extending its endeavors for the benefit of the motorists both at home and abroad, the Chicago Motor club has undertaken to mark the highway from Chicago to Los Angel- es. Starting at Chicago September 15, a special scout car in command of Charles P. Root, who directed the Elgin Road race, will cover a tenta- tive route leading through Aurora, Sandwich, Somonauk, Ottawa, La Salle, Peru. Princeton, Geneseo, Moline, and Rock Island, Ill.; Daven- port, Iowa City, Marengo, Des Moin- es, and Council Bluffs, Iowa; Omaha, Lincoln, Hastings and McCook, Nebr.; Sterling, Fort Morgan, Den- ver, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Trini- dad and Las Animas. Colorado; Santa Fe, Albuquerque, Socorro and Mag- dalena, New Mexico; Springerville, Winslow, Flagstaff, Williams, Ash- fork and Kingman, Arizona; Needles, Barstow, San Bernardino, Pasadena, and Los Angeles, California. When the concrete road between Chicago and Clinton, Towa, is come pleted, tourists will be advised to take this route through DeKalb, Rochelle, Dixon and Sterling. Nature and condition of roads, mileage, hotel, and supply prices and, in fact, everything that can be of interest to a transcontinental motor- ist will be reported back to the Chi- cago Motor club by the transcons tinental scout so that this informa- tion will be available for tourists. Following the scout car a road marking crew will start out to mark the highway the entire 2,800 miles in the same manner that the Chicago organization has numbered numer- ous other routes out of Chicago. Mr. Root will appoint official Chi- cago Motor club garages and hotels along the way. These plates wiil make contracts with the club guar- anteeing fair rates and good treat- ment to MOtOTists.
