Occasionally a man succeeds in bus iness with very little knowledge of the details of commercial transactions But the man who wins success under such circumstances cuts his way through the business world with a dull axe. How much broader a path he might cut, and how much more easily and rapidly, were he equipped with a practical knowledge of business details and laws governing commercial trans actions the art of dealing with his fellow men. The importance of thorough, practi cal business education is daily more appreciated. Almost every kind of business is conducted on a higher plane. Profits are smaller than form erly, necessitating greater volume of business, with greater expense for rent, fixtures, help etc. This creates an imperative demand for greater accuracy and speed and improved methods of keeping accounts. Young men and women who can not keep books by the best system, but who can always receive dictation m shorthand, mani pulate the typewriter and conduct cor respondence, and who have a general aptitude for transacting business, need never want for employment ot good salaries. The number of graduates from our business colleges who are experts in these special (pialifications is but a fraction of the demand. The erroneous idea that a business education is of no use to a farmer, is, for the most part, a thing of the past. Farmers ate beginning to appreciate more fully the importance of being able to dispose of farm products to the best advantage to convert them into the largest amount of money with the least expenditure of time . and labor. Agricultural journals urge the value of keeping an accurate system of accounts with the farm, thus demonstrating the comparative profits of various crops and methods, and enabling the farmer to keep a closer watch upon his expen ses, and to avoid countless financial "leaks" which inevitably result from haphazard methods A thorough course in a first-class business college is one of. the most profitable invest ments the young farmer can make. One of the most prominent and prosperous institutions of this kind in this section is the Wilkes-Barre Busi ness College. This college was start ed as a night school in 1885 and in corporated in 1887. - Considering its aje, the size of the city, and its proxi mity to other commercial schools, its success exceeds that of any simular in stitution in the country. Its growth has been steady and hralthtul, each year having shown a substantial increase in attendance. This is not a school for teaching bookkeeping and penmanship alone. While these are ot vital importance, there are other accomplishments scarcely less essential to those who would win success in the business world in these days of sharp competition Among the more important of these, all of which are taught by the most practical and thorough methods, are stenography.typewriting.spelling, gram mar commercial law ana arunmetic, The practical business department gives thorough training in banking, stocks and bones, drafting all kinds ot com mercial paper in fact for the transac tion of all kinds ot business, l ne the ories are applied bv a system of actual practice based upon the methods of the most successful establishments of the cdmmercial world. The College now rests upon a firmer foundation than ever before, backed by ample capital and supported by Vigorous, intelligent management, whose permanency seems assured. It com mands the respect and friendship of the progressive people of Wilkes-Barre, as well as the hearty good will of stud ents and graduates. Mr. G. L. Bald win, the senior principal, has had many years of successful experience in active business. He is a Droad gauge man, of keen perceptions and firmness of purpose, a close student of human na ture, possessing administrative ability which especially qualities mm lor nis position. After mature deliberation he entered this - institution . with the fixed purpose of making" the occupa tion his life work. The associate prin cipal, Prof. A. W, Moss, is a born educator. To his natural inclination are 'added the qualifications which come of long, industrious study and ripe experience in school management. 1 horoughness is a distinguishing trait Prizing knowledge for the satisfaction of knowing and realizing its powerful leverage in raising its possessors above their less fortunate fellows in the struggle for subsistance he applies himself with conscientious zeal to the task of giving his pupils the best pos sible .qualifications for the duties which will confront them in their business career. The faculty comprises, also, such f. corps of competent assistants as such principals might naturally be expected to employ. . Each depart ment is in charge of a specialist fully qualified for the duties in hand. The Board of Trustees consists of men of influence and standing, and some of them, notably Hon. C. A. Miner, President of tha" Board; Dr. F. C Jdhnsbn, of the Wilkes-Barre Record, S. L. Brown and Hon. C. D. Foster ' ' Children Cry for Pitcher patffia., Ladies Think 1 then sict.
