CHAPTER XLI. COMMERCIAL AND BUSINESS SCHOOLS. Returns from 398 commercial and business schools are tabulated in this report. Schools failing to report for two years in succession are dropped from the list. In the 398 business schools represented in the report for 1895-96 there were 1,913 instructors and 80,662 students. The total number of graduates in the commercial course was 10,481 and in the amanuensis course 8,836.
