important business schools in Texas,
and the whole field was practically
open to him. Notwithstanding there
were several larger cities, Fort Worth
was chosen, and in this selection as
well as in the building of school,
Prof. Preuitt showed rare good judy
ment, as the enrolment of the Fort
Worth Business College has long since
exceeded that of any similar school in
the state, The graduating class alone
was larger than the entire attendance
at some of the other business col
leges.
The citizens of Fort Worth are
known as live, wide-awake, business
people, characterized for push and en-
ergy The very air is impregnated
with "goaheaditiveness," and the ar
tesian water calculated to give
buoyancy to spirits. 1t is impossible
for young man to be here long with
out catching the enthusiasm and be-
coming imbued with this feeling; sue
cess follows as sure as night the day.
Young men should consider well be-
fore selecting a school, for it is not
for the time being, but for eternity.
There is something more to a real
practical business course than wal
nut bank or a few walnut desks.
President Garfield said: AZ would
rather be in the wilderness with Mark
Hopkins as my teacher, with the sky
for my roof and a log for a college
than in the finest college in the
land with inferior instructors" Prof.
Preuitt and his teachers are always to
be found at their place of business,
ever ready to instruct and assist
worthy young men in every way pos
sible.
The college has recently added
telegraphy, which makes six different
Observation-Disclosures, English, pen
manship, shorthand and type writing,
telegraphy and elocution. The in
structors in the different departments
are specialists and have wide repu-
tations, having been chosen for their
fitness to their particular depart
ments. In the faculty are found four
among the leading penmen in the
United States, and at the Texas State
Fair in 1886 the Fort Worth Business
College was awarded every first premi-
UNI, and in 1888, as the following let
ter shows, this institution was award
ed the only gold medal, and was the
only premium entered for:
OFFICE OF THE TEXAS STATE FAIRl
AND DALLAS EXPOSITION,
DALLAS, Tex, November Is, 1888.
PROF. f. P. PREUITT, TT. Worth, Tex.
Dear Sir We send you gold medal
by express to-day.
Yours respectfully,
SIDNEY SMITH, Sec
There are thousands of young men
in our state who contemplate taking
business course in some institution.
The STATESMAN would, as friend, ad-
wise young men to weigh well the adj
vantages presented by the different
schools before entering. 1t is a fact
the majority of students at business
colleges intend to enter business, and
enter these schools with the intention
of getting a position as soon as
possible after graduation. Then it is
certainly to the interest of the stud
ent to select school in live city
where positions are to be had. The
Fort Worth Business College
has the confidence of the bust
ness men, and this accounts for
the fact that every business house in
Fort Worth has from one to four Of
Prof. Preuitt's students. Ninety per
cent of the graduates, through his in
huence find work as book keepers,
statesmen, bill clerks, stenographers or
typewriters in the city, and we are in
formed that applications for young
men and women often exceed his
ability to supply them.
Prof Preuitt informs us he has re-
Gently had published an elegant cata-
logue which he will take pleasure in
sending to every young man and lady
who may be interested in business
education also that he has some
thing of interest to communicate to
every person who expects to enter a
business college the next year. A
personal letter will be sent to every
one who applies for information.
The STATESMAN has tried to give
its readers description of the advan-
tages offered by this institution. We
have made careful inquiry, talked
with the business men of TT. Worth,
and know they hold Prof. Preuitt and
his able faculty in the highest esteem.
and the institution that he repre-
sents is the pride of the city.
In closing we would say, young
men, you WON'T make mistake if you
choose the Fort Worth Business col
lege.
Roof Play Yards.
The latest proposed novelty in large
cities is the building of play-yards on
