Description of the Oollege. The Scranton Business College Is one of the foremost of Scranton's educa tional institutions. Its handhome build ing at the corner of Linden street and Adams avenue is one of the landmarks of the city, nnd its central location, opposite the court house, makes it un surpassed for convenience of access both for Its large body of students and for the many visitors who come to the Klectrlc City and mako this school one of their objective, points while "seeing the bights." The permanent home of this commercial school Is a handsome edifice of gray stone, four stories high, with large and commodious floors, well lighted with large windows, and being situated on a coiner receives light on two sides, the effect of which is en hanced by the open park In front sur lounding the court house, making It a cool and airy location In summer, the ventilation being arranged In accord ance with the most modern methods nnd after the specific plans of the pio ptletors, Messrs. Huck & Whltmorc. This corner is one of the coolest spots lu Scranton dutlng the ton Id season, and in winter the floors devoted to the use of the school are heated tffectlvely and scientifically, thus conducing to comfort and ability to study either In the "dog days" or when the winter blasts are howling around the corners, When Established.

The principals of the seveinl departments give their poisonnl super vision to the Instruction, and nre nil men of long experience and practice in teaching, having been ldentllled with business college work for many yeats. Professors Huck and Whltmorc have H. D. Buck. been In this line of work for fouiteen years, and this long teim has qualified them to the highest extent to preside over a largo and constantly mowing body of students. Third Largest in the State. According to tho report of the Sup erintendent of Public Instiuctlon tho Scrnnton business College Is tho third largest commercial school In the State of Pennsylvania. Thro me H00 stu dents in actual attendance, this num ber being neatly equally divided among young men and women, thc male sev piedomlnatlng slightly at present. As an evidence of the high reputation the college enjoys, It Is only necessary to state the fact that the demand for Its graduates ftom business houses In this nnd other cities Is greater than the supply. Its graduates nie employed In the very best business houses In confidential and responsible positions-, and a large number of them aie In iecolpt of very good salailes. Tho 1'ilUino can test ify cheerfully to the thoioughness of the tialnlng of the giaduates of this colli go, having several of thrm In Its employ at the present time. The metlui.ls of Instruction employed ' aie equal the liest of the business col leges In 'iirs country and nie con stantly linpiovlng, always keeping pace with tho expanding business de mands of the eomnieicta! voild. Good Positions Easily Secured. This college Is highly recommended by the most piomlnent business and professional men. Including educa tional leaders as well as those In other walks of life. The opportunities offeied to Its students coinmei dally are great, and so eager Is the demand for them that a gieat number are offered positions by business houses before they gtnduate. Hundreds secuie posi tions fioni heio oltiW directly or In dliectly. Messis. Huck nnd Whltmoie take great pride In those who have passed under their tuition and keep their Interest in them alive long after they have lecelved their diplomas or have entered into active employment, striving to help them into better nnd more luciative positions nnd following them up with kindly zeal, knowing that a worthy pupil cannot jccelve too much encouragement, nnd will appre ciate all that can be done to make his way smooth. They have secuied a number of positions for Individual students, each better than the last, and their inteiest in a giudunte survives long after the student has left their college. Students have seoued posi tions thtougli the prooiietois, not only In Scranton, but In many other cities, Including New York, C hlcago, rhlla- Business delphia, and th principal cities In the country. The Two Couises. The lower llonr of the college Is de voted to the stenographic departnn nt. Here aro taught shoithand, typewrit ing, manifolding, penmanship, practi cal grammar, capitalization, punctua tion, business correspondence, tiling letters, spelling and pi ess copying. On A. R. Whitmore. the upper floor aio tho recitation and largo study rooms of the business de partment, where tho students acqulro a practical knowledge of bookkeeping, penmanship, correspondence, press copying, commercial law, business arithmetic, short methods, rapid cal culation, practical grammar, commer cial paper, forms and customs and spelling. A scholarship in cither of these deuartments Is unlimited, tho Bite- aawe-; ' fteE until thoroughly proficient in his elected course. The list of graduates successfully filling lmpoitant and good paying sit uations In Scrnnton is too long for publication here, but it emphatically Indorses the claim of tho proprietors of tho soundness and substantial mer its of their Institution. In selecting the special towards for tho Kducatlonal Contest The Tribune was led by tho logic of this proof of excellence and decided to secure two scholarships In this excellent commercial school, and those who ate fortunate enough to se cure thns" scholarships will receive re wards of far greater value than tho price placd upon them.
