A very important element in the edu-
cational System of the city is the Los An
geles Business College and English
Training School, conducted by Prof. d.
B. Williams and a large and competent
faculty. Although in existence only a
year this institution has accomplished
phenomenal success and has obtained
for itself place in the very first rank of
schools of that order throughout the

last few months for lack of room in
which to provide for their instruction.
The establishment is first and foremost
as business college, and it aims to give
a course of instruction of a practical
character which shall prepare young
people of both sexes for the active duties
of business life. The commercial course,
which was specially prepared by men of
experience as practical accountants and
teachers, embraces bookkeeping, pen
manship, business arithmetic, letter
writing, commercial law and kindred
subjects. As an adjunct to this work
there is department of actual business
practice, in which the student is pro-
vided with capital and set to conducting
some regular line of business. In this
he is taught to keep full set of books,
draw up all kinds OF business documents,
notes, drafts, checks, leases, mortgages,
contracts, etc.
THE ENGLISH TRAINING SCHOOL,
which is prominent feature of the COL
lege, is also open to both sexes. In this
department young people are afforded a
thorough drill in all the common English
branches, and the work is supplemented
by collegiate course for those who de-
sire to prepare for higher institutions of
learning.
The instruction in penmanship which
is continued throughout the course is of
the most thorough and efficient charac-
ter. There are in the faculty of the school
five competent teachers of the branch.
The shorthand and typewriting depart
ments are also conducted by competent
instructors. The college is under the
management of Prof. DR.. B. Williams,
who was formerly connected with the
Bryant Business College in Chicago. He
is supported by an able faculty, fully
competent in numbers and experience to
supply the wants of the school, most of
them being practical specialists in their
own line of work.
In the course of the year the school
has enrolled nearly $50 pupils, and at
the present time there are over 100 in at
tendance in both sessions. A list of refer
ences made up of the patrons of
the school-prominent business and
professional men of the city-shows
that the pupils of the school are
from the best families, and that the as
sociation and acquaintance open to those
who enter is of the most advantageous
sort. ne

who are employed during the day, there
is a night session, at which the same ad-

In it's new quarters the college will be
glad to welcome visitoss and with it's
enlarged accommodations will be able to

pupils. The new term begins on Mon

pupils can enter at any time with equal
advantage.
