those who have had but limited school
opportunities are prepared in q little while

There are no vacations at the Mon
Jana Business college and students
may enter at any time. For those
who attend the college from out of town
when it is desired pleasant homes are se-
cured at such rates IA the pupils themselves
may feel able to pay. The college is very
pleasantly situated in the Electric block,
on the corner of Sixth and Park avenues,
on high ground and commands a beautiful
view of the city and valley. The class
rooms are large. well lighted and ventilated
and there are ample accommodations for
800 pupils.
The various courses of study are most
complete. In the commercial, under the

business life, and the studies are therefore
of the most practical kind, embi acing book
keeping, commercial law, business arlth--
metic. rapid calculations, spelling, CORE
s%pondence. grammar, penmanship and
business practice. After a student becomes
familiar with the simpler methods of book
keeping he is thoroughly drilled in the most
complicated forms, fitting him or her to take
care of any set of books. In the CONNER
cial law department., a very important one,
the topics treated are cont acts, negotiable
paper, Gales of pc sonul property and
real estate, agency, partnership, corpora
tions, liens and others. Lectures on these
subjects are given from time to time during
the sessions by prominent local attorneys.

make lapid progress. In the businei . prac-
tice apartment the pupil puts into use
the work he has gone over in other depaxb-
ments, and thus proves 10 himself as well as
to his instructors his fitness or unhtness to
sc cure a diploma.
No man or woman is to-day equipped for
offic work unless able to write shorthand
and use a typewsiting machine expedi-
tiously. In the Montana Business college

the common English branches, rs we'll as
algebra, are also given their due prominence
in the course of instruction.
