The students at Kelly's Business College say
that the Prof. does all and more than he adver-
tises.
Young men and women, why deny yourselves
a good practical education, just such as you can
use to good advantage in after life, when you
get it within so days. for $40? It is your one
one great chance of hfe-a genuine fortune OF
great lasting value. 1000 have tried it within
the last 40 years. and reaped an abundant har-
vest. One German girl who was very poor. a
charity student. is now worth $1eOe. 600. and u
600 handsome fortunes have been realized. l..
Davis, now worth $150.0O0. and G.. Rus. now
worth $2.OOOOOO. started in life without anything
except the education obtained at Prof Kelly's
expense.
No honest. v!rtuous young man or woman.
howerer poor now. can fail to gather honest
wealth if they obtain such genuine knowledge
of business as is now offered at Ravenna and
Fostoria. by Prof Kelly, to all. rich and poor
fyoung men and women would improve their
opportunities as ex-President Lincoln did. or
even one-fourth as well, for all now have four
times as good chance. they. iastead of being as
| a majority now are. poor, ignorant drones in
society. slaves and dupes of cruel monsters. such
as tobacco. alcohol. fiction. vice. falsehood. de-
ception. crime. &C.. they would be honest
wise. thrifty. virtuous. wealthy. happy. success
full. free men aud women. blessing to them.
selves. their families and their country.
Young folks. while you fritter away your time
and opportunities think of Douglas, the noted
| black man. who has moved the world with his
oratory. Think of him little slave, stealing
into the streets at night and studying such book
and papers as he could pick up. by the stree
| lights. Will you contrast your advantages and
condition with that little black slaves disad
| af ha 4
has lived. the harvest he has gathered. and thel
ask yourselves why you should not make sucl
use of your time and advantages as to enabl
you to gather better harvests. be better. hap
pier, successful men and women, the salt of tn
earth, leaders of society. reformers, inventors
friends of God and man. shining lights to guild
tho coming generations to higher realms of ex
istence.
Parents, can you not see that the education
you are giving your children is not by any mean
the education you should give them; that it doe
not fit them for the duties and obligations oflif
or for success in business; thas it is mostly
stufing of the memory with lessons that the
personally know as little about as your cisterr
know about the water they are filled with.
you disbelieve this. bring your graduates to m
room. in Riddle bio; k, Ravenna. and 1 will cor
vince you of the fact. and will not charge yo
anything either. Do you not know that parrt
education is no good that it does not develo
or strengthen. but weekens the intellect. and ur
$ fits for success and business? Do you not kno
that our schools have foodedAmerica with hell
less, stuffed bookworms. who will not work al
dc not know haw in many cases. They can col
jugate Greek verbs. solve algebra problems. &t
but know little or nothing of the problems

get more practical knowledge by means of the
T judgment. within 80 days. than they now get
e eight years. What better fortune can you gi1

and better their condition in every respect.
Fathers and mothers. why. oh. why not

Why not give them those studies they will ne
in everyday life. Come to the Ravenna Collie
and witness the vast difference in making livil
10 fountains of knowledge of your children and
converting them into reservoirs.
