FOSTER, Formula with pvl bottle 9 Bhow it to your doctor Exaggerate A cultured gentleman, who had been teaching in the public schools for number of years, had business in our city the other day which necessitated his calling at our college. Ho was, of course, invited to go thru tho school, which he did, taking a great interest in each atnd every department as he was shown thru.

When he had passed thru our different offices and recitation rooms, he stopped and remarked: "I had often read your ads in our xapers and thought you were just making exaggerated statements to draw patronage, like many other advertisers. I never dreamed that I would come here and find you accomplishing all or even more than you advertised. You have opened my eyes. You have something far above the ordinary business college, and I am frank to state that I have hesitated to reccommend them to my students, because of their deficient courses of study and slack discipline, which allows students to run loose just as they please in our larger cities, but I shall recommend yours, for I find it to be a wonderful instition of thorough practical knowledge and We wish we had the pleasure of showing every public school teacher of the state thru our school, and letting them see it in operation, see the wonderful work that is being accomplished by our faculty of expert teachers and our larpe crowd of enthusiastic students, for it would mean the hearty support of every one.
