THE! VALVE of a thorough business
training, to a young man espe
cially, cannot be overestimated. It
will open the way to tenure a good
class of positions where, It he Is hon
est, faithful and energetic, his advance
ment will bo rapid and sure. It will
teach him how to, transact business
for himself or others In a buslness-llko
manner according to the most approved
methods.
It is a most valuable mental disci
pline, encouraging systematic and
painstaking habits of dolns things.
promotes accuracy and Quickness In
thinking and starts a young man out
into the world with the ability to ren
der effective service where another not
so educated would be but an encum
brance. A New Institution.
The Lackawanna Business College is
now rounding out Its first year. Start
ed only In September of 1001, It has al
ready become recognized as one of the
leading commercial Institutions of the
Lackawanna valley. It was begun as
a branch of the Lowell School of Blng
hamton, N. Y., being under the same
management that has made the Low
ell School a striking success. At the
tlme that the Lackawanna School was
started Its managers made a number
of promises In their published an
nouncements.
They promlse'd their pupll3 thorough
courses and careful, painstaking, indi
vidual Instruction. They promised that
pupils should be advanced as rapidly
us was consistent with thorough work
and that their methods of instruction
would be such as to Insure a thorough
knowledge of the subjects and pro
ficiency on the part of the pupils in
much less time than many suppose
I necessary.
The school after eleven months' work
lis now prepared to show results. The
management Invites all Interested, es
pecially the contestants In The Trlb-
jne's Educational Contest, to call at
the school to make a personal investi
gation of the work done by the pupils,
nd to satisfy themselves of the cor
rectness of this statement.
The school is In the hands of skilled
ind experienced managers and in
structors and young people desiring to
prepare themselves in a thorough man-
icr and at the least possible expendi
ture of time and money should enter
U-once. One feature of this school is
that there are no vacations. There Is
!io break In the studies until the course
s completed.
Location.
The Lackuwunna Business College Is
pocated In the Guernsey Building, on
Washington avenue, opposite The Trib
une building. Here ample siudy rooms
liave been equipped with modern ap
pliances and conveniences for the pur
suit of commercial life, Including a
banking institution, which is conduct
ed strictly according to the usages of
jp-to-dato financial houses. Its loca
tion Is highly desirable, being acces
sible by trolley from any portion of the
Wty and neighboring communities and
imly a few minutes' walk from any of
ne rour railroad depots of Scran ton.
:t Is but half a block from the county
curt house, on the same block with
ho Municipal Building, diagonally on-
iioslte the Post Olllce and less than
two blocks distance from the Albright
.ucmormi library and tho Scranton
High School. It eun thus be readily
been that Its location Is as neurly cen
tral to the business portion of the Elec
tric City as could bo found,
The Management.
When the college was opened last
September It was not started, ns so
winy similar Institutions are, as a
ncans to an Piid, by young men with
out a practical knovledgo "of tho busi
ness. On the contrary, the Instructors
fvere solected by tho management sole
y because of their having had long and
varied experience and wero able to
profit by thut ripened knowledge. It
yna not enough that the teachers knew
low business was conducted, what cer-
mn technical forms and papers meant.
Jiat they hud acquired the knack of
mtlng neatly and legibly; but they
nust also know how to tell all who
should come under their tuition, no mat
ter how crude and stunld the mtnlla
might be, Just how to do It as well, and
not only Impart tho Information) but to
drill and train and rehearse t until
the highest degree of perfection wus
attained.
J, K. Bloomer, tho Principal and
wunager, is also tho proprietor of the
Lowell Business College of Blngham
ton, N, Y, Ho has had twenty, years'
experience qb a teacher and manager
Lof business schools In various parts of
e country. since he has been n
tranton his energetic manner and sin-
kre ambition have won him many
llende, while his students are entliuaj-
astlu luhnlrers of his system of Im
parting Instruction,
.T, N, Sitioot,' "Tho Typewriter Man,"
hus had several years' experience as a
toucher and malinger In business col
leges. Being In close touch with the
typewriter users his Influence is very
ndvnntiiRcoiis to graduutcs who are
looking for positions.
D, W. Wagner Is a graduate of
Tabu's Business College. He Is an ex
pert accountant and entirely familiar
with the latest text-books on rapid
calculations and "Short Cuts" In fig
ures. Ho Is tho President of the Book
keepers' Association of Scranton.
The faculty Is composed entirely of
teachers of long experience, who
are painstaking and thorough In their
methods of Instruction. The business
department has for Its head an expert
accountant, while the shorthand de
partment Is lu charge of an experi
enced court stenographer and teacher
of shorthand.
Bookkeeping and Business Practice.
Bookkeeping and business practice
Is taught by methods by which the
pupil "learns to do by doing." Ho
buys and sells from the day ho begins
his course. He handles nil the busi
ness papers arising in business and
not only learns the latest and most
approved methods of recording ac
counts, but also gains nn insight into
business methods followed in different
lines of, business.
Special drills In the theory of ac
counts and accounting, office practice
and business relations by mall with
students In the Blnghamton school tend
to make this one of the most Interest
ing as well as thorough courses of busi
ness training that can be had.
Methods of Instruction.
The methods of Instruction are large
ly personal. Dull students .ecelvc the
individual attention necessary to keep
them interested and progressing. The
student who Is active and has had good
educational advantages is not retard
ed in any way by tho Inaptness of any
other student. The unit of the school
is the student, not the class. If a stu
dent is backward In one study he need
not be retarded In the rest. If on the
other hand he has special talents, his
work can be so mapped out as to se
cure their fullest development. In
other words, special aptitudes are cul
tivated, while special deficiencies, If
any, are not allowed to interfere with
the pupil's general progress.
Banking and Office Practice.
The student, before the completion of
the course, is given the benefit of a
training which is as near a counter
part of the methods and work In real
business life as can be afforded. His
transactions represent dealings with
students in this school and with the
students and offices in the Lowell
School of Business. His work is re
corded in a large and permanent sot
of books kept in the office and Is done
largely by correspondence.
Banking.
The bank Is organized as a national
bank, capitalized at $100,000, and does a
general banking business, receiving de
posits, discounting and collecting busi
ness paper of tho students, Issues New
York drafts, protests dishonored pa
per, etc. It handles a large number of
active accounts and Is a most valu
able part of the student's training.
Penmanship Is given constant atten
tion. Students are taught a style of
penmanship which isjigraceful, legible
and rapid.
Arithmetic is taught from a text
book arranged expressly for those who
are fitting themselves for business
life. This work Ip supplemented with
a largo amount of rapid calcula
tion drills, and this training is a
valuable addition to the work in arith
metic as ordinarily taught. It en
ables the graduates to do their work
much more rapidly and with less men
tal effort than required by the' clerk,
bookkeeper or business man who has
not had the advantage of such drills.
Spelling Is taught dally. II is a very
important part of a business or short
hand training and the attention Is giv
en to it that it merits.
Commercial Law.
The young man who enters a business
life without a thorough knowledge of
tho principles of law governing differ
ent business relations Is much like a
ship at sea without a compass and he
Is Just about as likely to roach the har
bor of prosperity as would the ship
without a rudder to reach Its port on
the other side of the ocean.
The pathway of a business man Is
thickly strewn with shoals and quick
sands and a familiarity with the prin
ciples of commercial law Is very essen
tial to his safely. The pupils of the
Lackawanna Business College study
the rules governing business relations
of almost every kind. Including notes,'
drafts, endorsements, agencies, cor
porations and partnerships, sale of
goods and transfer of real estate.
Business Correspondence.
The pupils In their business dealings
carry on a correspondence on n great
variety of subjects. Their work Is all
Inspected by tho Instructors and re
turned coirccted.
Tho ability to write a good business
letter Is one to which many a success
ful business man owes his first start,
Old-fashioned Ideas are constantly
giving way to tho now. What wero
perfectly satisfactory ways of doing
things In the days of our fathers ore
entirely superseded or are being'
changed In a way that makes it neces
B.iry for the young man of the present
day to be on tho alert and to take ad
vantage of overy opportunity thut pre
sents Itself to enable him to "keep up
with the procession."
Value of Special Training,
In oyery coinmercli'l or manufactur
ing establishment, as well as in the
different professions, those young men
or women succeed, meet with rapid ad
vancement and receive good salaries
who have had the advantage of a spe
cial course of training,
No young man ought to accept a po
sition us clerk or employment in any
business establishment before he hus
had a thorough business training, oven
If he has the opportunity of doing so.
He loses many chances of bong ad
vanced because ho hus not the knowl
edge or training necessary. If, on the
other hand, he hus had such a couise,
every year's experience will make Ills
business training more valuable: one
helps and rounds out the other.
Shorthand can be learned In six
months and a Bpeed of fj-oin 110 to 123 J

words per minute on new matter ac
quired, also a speed of upward of DO
words per minute from dictation upon
the typewriter, together ' with pro
ficiency In transcribing legal docu
ments in proper form, in manifolding
and duplicating processes and a thor
ough knowledge of the duties of the
amanuensis.
But tho conditions must bo right.
First, the student must be industrious.
Next the instructor willing and able to
give the student the individual atten
tion he or she requires. Then the sys
tem taught must be the best. Ade
quate provision must bo made to give
students the necessary amount of time
upon the typewriter for transcribing
their notes, etc.
All these conditions prevail at this
school. Consequently the management
Is placing its students in positions
where they are giving excellent satis
faction after having been with them
from three to six months.
Tho management does not wish to bo
understood as promising every student
entering the shorthand department
that they can be fitted for satisfac
torily performing the duties of a
stenographer in so short a time. They
do not promise impossibilities, and, un
less the pupil Is studious, takes ad
vantage of all the helps the course af
fords and possesses a fair amount of
ability, the best advantages that can be
given him will not produce any extra
ordinary results.
The System Taught.
The Graham standard system of pho
nography Is taught. It Is the best
known and most scientific system of
shorthand. Nearly GO per cent, of the
court stenographers of tho United
States use this system. It Is capable
of tho best results obtainable. This
system was selected for the school be
cause after an experience of many
years in preparing young people for
shorthand positions it was found that
the Graham stenographers were al
most Invailably among the front rank.
No permanent classes are formed.
Pupils receive individual instruction
from their teacher until the day they
enter. They begin to receive dictation
and to use the typewriter the first
week. Tho students advance as rapid
ly as possible, irrespective of tho prog
ress of others. Speed drills In taking
notes and writing upon the typewriter
to stimulate the efforts of students are
held frequently.
Typewriting.
Tho pupils are instructed In tho use
of all the standard typewriters. There
lb no ohurge for their use. Tho touch
system Is taught, tho Van Sant. The
pupils recelvo instruction In typewrit
ing legal forms of every descrip
tion, tabulating, cutting stencils for
tho mimeograph, making letter-press
copies, etc.
A Pew Questions.
Yuu know many things. Undoubted
ly, but are you prepared tu do the
things that tho business world must
have done and Is willing to pay for?
How about your penmanship'. Can
you write an easy, graceful, legible
hand?
Are you well drilled In the shortest
and simplest methods of arithmetical
calculation'.'
Do you know tho forms and require
ments of u good business letter?
Can you write shorthand so that you
can tuko a business letter from dicta
tion? Can you draw up correctly checks,
notes, drafts, bills of sale, leases, eon
tracts, and all other forms of commer
cial paper?
Can you keep u sot of books by double
entry?
If you can do nil these things your
education has a commercial vnluo and
you can use It as u stepping stono to
the deshuble places that those best
qualified will be called upon to nil.
If you cannot do till those things here
Is an opportunity offered to round up
your education, with facilities for fit
ting you for the practical duties of life
ami putting you In u position to seize
opportunities for advancement.
Examinations,
Frequent examinations on nil sub
jects embraced In the different courses
aro given, not so much to find out what
the student knows as to enable the
teachers to give tho proper attention
to tho things not thoroughly mastered.
No student Is allowed to udvance faster
than these examinations show thor
ough mastery of subjects passed over.
A Word to Parents,
Don't neglect dqlng something for
your boys and girls until It Is too late.
A little money spent on them now may
be worth more thun a great manv
thousands left to them when their lives
are half gone. Many a boy has re
mained down near the bottom the lad
der nil his life for lack of a little help
at the right time help.too, which could
have been given to him without any
serious sacrifice on the part of his par
ents. Tho Tribune's Educational Contests
have helped many a young man and
woman to a start in life. Maybe they
can help your son or daughter.
Two Scholarships.
The Tribune offers two scholarships
In the Lackawanna Business College,
for cither young men or women, in
either the business or shorthand
courses. Each scholarship is good un
til the student completes the course he
.-elects, providing he does so within
one year from the time he enters upon
his studies. The scholarships are
valued at $S3 each.
PLENTY OF R00H
FOR BEGINNERS
Pour of the Leading Contestants
Have Not Scored a Point in Over
Two Months Sixteen Points May
.Win a Scholarship.
The Tribune's Educational Contest
has still Just ton weeks to run, and in
that time there Is room for many
changes. Ten weeks is a long while
and much woik can be accomplished by
any earnest young man or woman.
There are probably a great many
young people who would bo glad to
secure one of the thirty-three scholar
ships offered, but who refrain from
taking up the work feeling that it is
too late. It needs but u little thought
to demonstrate that this Is a mistake.
Human nature Is Just the same in an
educational contest as it is In any
other work, and there are naturally
many among The Tribune's contestants
who become easily discouraged, Even
among the thirty-three leaders, whose
names are published every morning,
there are four who have not turned In
a point since July 1, and two of these
huvo not been heard from In three
mouths. Beside these four there are
four others who have only scored from
one to six points In two months. This
means that there are at least eight
places among the leaders that can be
easily occupied by any young man or
woman who. Is ambitious to secure an
education. As it now appears, sixteen
points Is quite likely to secure a
scholarship valued at $(J0 or more.
These points at the most did not cost
"over $S.
In order to protect tho contestants
who are working earnestly for It, The
Tribune will not allow others to enter
on the last day and secure scholarships
by paying tho subscriptions of two or
three of their friends, as could easily bo
done. No now contestant will bo re
ceived after October 1, and no contest
ant will bo allowed to score after that
date who has not at least ouo point
credited previously. This Is done solely
to protect the contestants, as The Tri
bune Is determined that everything In
connection with Its Educational Con
test shall bo conducted with absolute
fairness.
Tt nlifilllrl (in lmpnn In inltiil flint tliorr.
Is no limit to the number of points re-
quired to secure a scholarship. If the
contestant In thirty-third pluce on the
closing day should have only sixteen
points, those points will entltlo him to
a scholarship Just the same as If ho
had ten times that many. Contracts
for each of the scholarships offered are
signed and they will be given without
tiny cos't whatever to tho winner, as
has been fully described heretofore,
Another thing to bo remembered Is
that every one who enters, even If they
do not secure a scholarship, will be puld
ten per cent, of all tho money collected
for Tho Tribune. Even this Is worth
working for.

After tlio 2 o'clock dinner In sum

able chairs, a swing for the restless

of tho tree, besides a stout tublo on

If there are guests, us there Usually
are, so much the better) the oldor
b6ys, assisted by ono of tho elders,
bring out tho "picnic" tablecloth and
dishes, tho food already prepared and
tho beverages, and tho table Is spread.
The smaller children have a bench
nnd Bit at ono end of tho table, whero
they cat their cereal and milk, their
fruit sandwiches and cake. The older
pcoplo have a rather moro elaborate
menu from which to draw. Tho meal
Is nccompanlcd by much pleasant
converse. Including anecdotes or per
sonal reminiscences In which nil are
Interested. When tho meal Is con
cluded, the dishes nro packed into a
basket, carried back to tho kitchen,
piled In tho dlshpnn and covered w.lth
water so that they will wash easily
the next morning while breakfast Is
preparing. The food Is put away and
covered, the refuse and crumbs brush
ed off for tho "chicken pall," and in
ten minutes everything is cleared up
nnd all are settled for the "children's
hour."
The programme for this vailes, but
there Is always a story told or read
by father or mothera short chapter
In tho Bible, and then some of the
sweet old hymns of tho church
classics overy ono of them Keblo's
"Song of My Soul," I.ytle's "Abide

"Now tho Day Is Over." and thnt

may be scattered far over land nnd
sea, tho seed is sown, tho Impression

quiet Sabbath hour jtoes on for nye.

The distinction between bouillon nnd
consommo Is not always clearly un
derstood In tills country. In Franca
tho difference Is marked.
Consommo, which means literally
"boiled to rags," Is a double stock,
and Is tho concentration of tho flavors
of several meats and vegetables. It
may bo prepared from beef, chicken
nntl veal, with cither flavor predomi
nating. Bouillon, on tho contrary, is merely
n preparation from boullle, or boiled
beef.
A properly prepared consommo Is o.
firm, clear, st raw-colored Jolly, rep
resenting much careful labor on tho
part of tho cook. It Is too cxpcnslvo
for an every-day soup, but makes a
dainty entranco to a state dinner or
luncheon.
A popular soup among tho French
common pcoplo has for Its foundation
tho heads, necks, feet, heart, livers,
glzznrds and tips of wings of two
chickens or fowls. Tho other ingredi
ents aro a halt pound of the breast of
pork, two tablespoonfuls butter or
'drippings, one heaping talilcspoonful
of flour, a pint of water, ono onion,
one and one-half pint of turnip cut
In long pieces, one pint of potatoes
cut In cubes, one-half pint sliced car
rot, salt, pepper, a bouquet of sweet
herbs nnd a bit of garlic If desired.
The soup is known ns Abattls a la'
Bourgeolse, and Its method of prepa
ration ns given by Mlis Parloa Is as
follows: Skin the head, rut off tho
bill nnd remove tho eves. Parboil tho
feet when the skin will slip off llko,a
kid glove. Cut the neek In two or
thiee pieces, nnd tho heart, liver, giz
zard nnd pork Into small bits. Put
tho butter Into a stewpan nnd as it
begins to brown add the sliced onion
nnd pork nnd cook to a line brown.
Remove tho pork nnd stir in tho flour.
When It has browned ndd tho water
nnd stir until n smooth gravy. Now
add tho pork, tho abattls or bits of
rblckcn and tho carrots, nnd season
with salt and pepper. Add tho herbs,
cover and cook gently for an hour.
Then stir, ndd tho turnips and pota

ed, socially speaking, as it is
now. This statement has been
repeated at intervals for the

Just at this time than ever. The
Country club Is a forlorn spot, and
the lonely caddie roams over the links
unmolested and unterrifled. No ar

away from the city later.
The bowling alley is completed, but
will not be opened until a formal open

Puro ollvo oil not Its counterfeit
picscntment of cottonseed or peanut
Is, without doubt, tho best ttssuo
builder known. Its uso both internal
ly and extcrnnlly Is being widely ad
vocated. A well known San Francisco
.man who hns reached tho rlpo age of
100 years and still preserves his facul
ties utmost unimpaired, attributes his
longevity nnd good health to tho freo
and constant uso of tho very best
ollvo oil. It forms a largo part of his
dally diet and Is also employed ex
ternally to keep his muscles firm and
Joints flexible. If ho has an earache
a few drops aro poured into the ear
and kept thero with a bit of cotton.
A lamo shoulder' receives a good rub
bing with tho oil. Not a pain or ache,
ho declares, can wlthstnnd Its applica
tion. It has long been observed that thoso
who treat ollvo oil as a common ar
ticle of food and, uso It ns such nro
generally healthier and stronger than
thoso who do . not. Tho American
housekeeper has still to learn that
there aro many ways of using tho oil
beside In salads. It may be used with
good effect as a substitute for butter
In compounding tho ordinary brown
or whlto sauce. A tcaspoonful of oil
added, just before taking up, to every
quart of split-pea, bean, potato or
other soup lacking fa, greatly In
creases Its richness ns well as flavor.
A child soon learns to like tho taste
of ollvo oil on bread in place of but
ter, while any kind of cold meat
that Is to be recooked is Improved by
having a little oil poured over it at
least half an hour before heating.
Almost better than tho oil Itself are
tho pickled rlpo olives, luscious with
oil, rich, perfect in flavor. In the
East It Is still hard to find them with
out going to the Turkish or Italian
storfs. On tho Pacific slonc their su
periority to the green olive is so fully
recognized that the "black olive" has
superseded Its fledgling brother1 at all
well bred tables. They may "bo
bought looso in bulk and aro cheaper
than tho green ones.
