Business College.

We are srisvsd To sss students going out from
schooi after . few weeks conrss in some bnsi-
mass college tonr own not sxcsptsd), only hall

Iifs. II IL true that We can furnish the fin shing
touches IN TIM science Of accounts to, ana make
. Rrst-class accountant ont Of . perroil who mas
had two or three years experience In bnsinssh Tor
himself Or his employer, In three months time,
for he realizes what his deficiencies are and what
principles must aecassarily b. we'll imp,ssssi on
bis mind; bat We cannot make > hrst-class BOOK
keeper out Of . student who has had no prev'ous
knowledge Of actual business In less than SIX
months.
No school can conscisntiously advertise to
complete ! course in either shorthand or book
keeping in less time, for neither science can bo
complstsi in loss tins. to say nothing OF other
branches absolutely necesaary TO the qualification
Of = iirst-class stenographor or bookkesper.
Students often some to as, having been promised
Z situation by some bnsiness man, to qualify for
one position, ~ II his whole sue; % depended
ON that ons position. He asks US TO ut him Tor
th.t position in the short time Of one month or
six weeks. He performs his duties to the salts
faction Of his employer, perhaps, but when he
comes to cope with . fir, t-class bookkeeper or
stenogrspher, alas! he is left. y to use the school
boy EXPRESSION. A sad experience teaches many
that ii IL batter to be fully competent, though it
cost more. than parti lily fitted, to cope with an.
other.
Now We want students to come for a term OF
six months. In which time we guarantee to give
them 4 complete course, If they mako cool use
Of their time. The theory Of bookkeeping will
consume about four months, taking into consid-
Grafton the other necessary branches. The other
two months will he given to business practice.
We mean to go further than sdvertiss . business
practice department. We shall have it in our
school and get out of it the best results possible.
We have tho best room for this department in
Helena.
Realizing that many students are not abs to
lay out much money in an education, We shall
reduce tuition Tor six months from $50 to $40.
This reduction will. We think, be appreciated by
many students who are economic in their OK
penditurs of money. The reduction will take
effect at once, and continue until Oct. 30. 1891.
Although the Montana Business College has
done but little advertising, except through its
students, it has been well patronized. as students
and others friendly to its existence are aware
This can be accounted for only in the fact that 1t
was founded by msn Of integrity and moral
worth, and ls2t alive on principles Of true merit
Its prt sent manager hopes to make it the ideal
business college of Ron.ana. 1t takes time to
build up = school that will meet the approval OF
an intelligent people, such as we have in Mon
tana. ... T.. +
We solicit the hearty CO. operation Of all that
have an interest in such an institution also In
vita you to come to Electric tuilding, corner
Sixth and Park avenues, and learn something Of
the management and courses of study. VERY
respectfully,
HOMER &. PHELPS. Principal.
