To Whom it May Concern.

In reference to circular headed
"HalloranS Commercial School. which
has been circulated in this city, we Is
former students of the w. Il. c.. feel il
incumbent upon us To answer at least a
few OF the statements contained there
in. In this circular We find the state
ment that Not one in fifty of those
who 90 off to Business College are
able to keep a set OF books correctly
when they get through, and the reason
is plain enough, the professors know
only what they have learned from
books. and would fail If they attempted
to keep books"
We consider this an unwarranted, un-
luStifable and untruthful attack on the
w. b. c.
While we were in attendance at the
Business College We have many times
seen Prof. Wright, who has charge of
the commercial department, called from
his desk TO explain 10 sO-called ''prac-
teal bookkeeperS' how to make certain
complicated entries in their books. We
have even seen whole sets of books
brought to the college. some opened
and others changed TO more practical
methods.
We do not know but that mOdesty
should prevent Us from saying anything
in reference 10 the efficiency Of the
graduates Of the institution, but yet
We have never heard OF any who have
failed to keep their book correctly.
We consider Prof. Frasher and all the
faculty of the W. b. c. well qualified
commercial educators. and We can as
sure all students who may enter that
they will be treated a. perfect ladies
and gentlemen. and will receive full
value of their money. and all who com
pletc the course will be practically and
thoroughly qualified for business.
BooKKEEPERS OF THE CITY.
