Mr. C. E. Town, of the Commercial Education Department of the Chamber, gives interesting stotistles regarding the educational work he is conducting. The junior examination was commenced sixteen years ago with na entry of 65 candidates; in 1895 the candidates numbered 2,723. Under the senior scheme the numbers had risen fren 17 to 2.395, and the subjents from 1 to 25 in

Thus," says Mr. Town, we are able to keep paos with the foreign invasion, for an English merchant would much rather have English clerks provided they are propery educated- than foreigners. When the Englishman knows his work he is worth more, and is able to carn more, then bis Continental rivals. But he mus! go in for commercial education, and it is to encourage him to do it that this department is carried on.
