He has had eight years’ practical experience as a State school teacher and has specialised in commercial aqd night school classes. He holds a number of excellent testimonials. A special feature of these classes will be the individual instruction and the attention giveh to backward teachers. .Classes are now bei”g formed in bookkeeping, shorthand, arithmetic, commercial correspondence, English, grammar and composition.
