Resumption OF Night sessions--An Indi-
viduai System of instruction.


The night sessions of the Goldey Will
mington Commercial and Shorthand
College, conveniently located on the
second floor Of the Institute Building,
northwest corner of Eighth and Market
streets have been resumed.
Tho rooms are large and airy, ele-
gantly furnished and beautifully
lighted by electricity. Tho students
now in attendance range in age from Is
to 40, and are of both of sexes. The
oldest person ever enrolled there was
GO. Each student is instructed indi-
vidually and not in classes. 1t s a
busy place and visitors are nightly well
coined. Some students are being in
structed in bookkeeping, banking and
business, some in arithmetic, others in
penmanship, sstil others in spelling, or
letter writing, or rapid calculations.
Shorthand and typewriting occupy the
time of others. In the shorthand de-
partment some are beginners, while
others are entered for speed work only.
The beauty of this colleges indi-
vidual system of instruction is that
new students can begin any night and
pursue such branches as they may
select, no matter how deficient or how
old, and without the embarrassment of
class recltations or examinations.
There are none. Some of the persons
now in attendance have not been to
school for many, many years, and some
got very little schooling when they did
go. One of the greatest improvements
at the college is the wonderful new
method of teaching bookkeeping,
banking and business. The text book
has practically been discarded, the
students now making records direct
from the business papers received and
issued. 1t is a wonderful invention
and will interest and delight expert
accountants and business men. Yet it
is so easy 20 learn. A visit to these
night sessions will witness the students
counting money, preparing deposits for
bank, billing, issuing and receiving
sight drafts, notes, and acceptances,
&C., and at the same time making all
the necessary records of the actual bust
ness transactions. Anyone should feel
ashamed to say he does not understand
double entry bookkeeping when it can
now be so easily learned and at SO little
expense at the Goldey College. The five
to seven instructors in these evening
sessions are specialists in their respec
tive departments and also are part of
the regular day staff.
For any or all branches in the bust
ness department in the night sessions
the charge liz only $50 for six months,
or Sll for three months, or 81 month,
three nights a week.
