valuable asset to tho ranks of colleges of that claxs In San Francisco It started when Misa Barrett opened an office for stenographic work the business growing so rapidly that she soon found It neres sary to train assistants and In time hor office and her school became the largest in the city With the school grew a correspondence department and free employment service Selecting a school Is almost a Important as choosing a vocatlci ni thealm of thl school la to ci rry out a progressive plan of teaching business work to resldontn and non residentsresidents and to coach in preparatory subjects so that the graduate may have a comprehensive Itnowledgn of the subjects studlod For example In stenography the training Is so complete that the student when graduated la really an experienced atenographer though perhaps he has net held a position BELIEVES IN SCHOOL Knowledge of Language Is Big Necessity A THOROUGH knowledge of the English language and 4 its constructive features is as important as shorthand for the finished shorthand writer Shorthand itself is nothing more than an abbreviated method of recording speech and therefore special attention is given throughout the entire secretarial course to this important branch of study but the subject is made so attractive through the improved methods of various schools that it is a pleasing and interesting study Hi NFflO TELLSJF

Declared by Healq ToBeOnlytoswertoMatter Confronting Parents of Today Aim of Business College Is to Construct a Firm Pedestal of Learning Most Direct Road to Success Is Trod by Thousands Attending

country but It seems to ne not Important to find something for them to do as It la to fit them to do tome thing well In my opinion the beet solution ot this vexed question Is education Educate th head and it will set the bands to work I believe that the difficulty with our boys and girls arises mainly from defective education Give them a useful education and they can and will take car of themselves Our graduates always succeed at something We do not know of a slnglo one out of tfiouaauda who 1 idle today They are not all In Business some are on term and some employed at mechanical trades hut all are at work with hand cr brain and whatever they do Is well and systematically done os a result of their education Those not having sufficient energy to got an education seldom accomplish anything In

do not wish to be understood aa speaking In discouragement of liberal education For those who have time and the means to afford what Is called a finished education It 1 well enough and I have naught to say against it but certainly the great want ot the present day practical education Neither do I recommend any system of education as a means of getting rid ot work I believe In work but unless lt is directed by Intelligence and forethought it is of little avail Let ua then educate our boys and girls to do something wen and the question of what we shall do with them will already be aolved they will take care of themselve 4 Village schools nrlvate rhnl if schools and at least one larre state university have tried individual In struction ana round It to be most remarkably successful The Impression Is widespread that Individual Instruction Is an advantage i raiw tne nngnt panllhaaan opportunity of going ahead On the contrary one of the hinniil rnit of Individual Instruction Is that there are no dull pupils Few who have not observed closely the results of Indl yianai instruction And seen how nearly the same time Is required by almost all pupils to do a given subject but would be astonished to lesrn of the degree of uniformity In this respect where Individual Instruction is used Have you seen students attempting tasks set for home atudy for which thoy falleil to perceive the method of Attack Can a student who Is under individual Instruction fail to understand Just what he Is to do or how be la to do It When he haa don It can he have failed to gain confidence for the next tank And canhe fall to gain after a time the knowledge of how studying Is done and the confidence which makes it no longer a task but a pleasure Is It surprising that students who have been given a chance to reason for themselves and trained to reason for themselve who have been under th necessity of preparing each for himself every part of every lesson txry day should prove themselves In college worthy of a college education should prove themselves In the business world capable of carrying th message to Garcia should become leading lights In the professional world and should attain the highest eminence as statesmen Is It surprising that a former President of the United State said thinking of th president of his alma mater that his conception of a university was Mark Hopkins at
