I do not like To stroll, meander, tramp or hike. hate to strut and amble, too. To foot it, plod or shake the shoe, toddle, waddle, strike a gait, To saunter or perambulate.

I know, of course, that there are cases When one must walk to get to places, But, X. for pleasure, never bother i To put one foot before the other. 1 And add to this truth That never, even in my youth. Have I. in all the miles I've hiked It.

A Tree Story SEVEN months ago a certain student had a "job. It was not even a "position" just a "job." It paid barely enough to keep soul and body together. It offered no opportunity for advancement. Worse yet there was always the probability of being laid off any time business might be dull. TODAY, after seven months' training, this same student has a "position" not merely a "job" a "POSITION." A position that pays about twice as much as the "job" paid steady work an unlimited opportunity to advance.

An exceptional case? Not by any means. If you will call at the office we shall be glad to give the name of this particular student as well as many others who have taken the same step toward success. 50th Year Opens September BURLINGTON BUSINESS COLLEGE 182 Main Burlington, VtM Telephone 171-W Frem Part Rtat, X. la Barlingtaa.
