ton a book entitled "Kings of the Plat
form and Pulpit" From an examination
of the prospectus we know it is an excel
lent work. 1t has received the endorse
ments of number of distinguished gentle
men, among which we found the following:
''This Kings of the Platform and Pulpit

THE DIFFERENCES.

A YOUNG man may take course of
study in medical college, and his
time, labor, and money may be in a
measure wasted. because he is not cut
out for doctor. He may graduate in
a theological school, and prove a fail
ure as preacher. He may go to an
agricultural college, and never work
on farm. A young man may 90
through life without practicing medi-
cine, without preaching sermon, or
doing days work on the farm, but
he cannot 90 through life without
having business relations with his fell
low-men. He must buy and sell some
thing, or he cannot live. Hence, while
professional education may or may
not be utilized, business education
must be. This is the difference
SELECTED.

1T Is TIME TO MAKE A START

THERE are clear indications that the
dawn of prosperity for which we have
all been waiting is near at hand.
The crop prospects are bright all
over the land There is continued
and increasing European and South
American demand for American pre-
ducts. The exports for the month
ending July / were the largest since
September, 1895. AS crops are short
in European and South American coun-
tries, the demand for American cereals
is likely to be brisk. This means bet
ter prices and better times for the
farmer, and consequently for everyone
else; for when the farmer is prosperous
in this country, other people are pros
porous. g..
Everything indicates that the finan-
cial pendulum is at last swinging back
toward good times, and that we are on
the eve of a brisk revival in all lines
of business.
If it is true that better times are at
hand, it behooves everyone TO get
ready for them. Increased business
will mean an increased demand for
educated men and women, and with
it, better salaries for teachers, clerks,
bookkeepers, stenographers, and office
helpers of all kinds. Young people,
bear in mind that you live in an age
when BRAINS are at a premium, and the
young man or young woman who has
a good education will be wanted.
There will be urgent calls, as there al
ways have been, in times of prosperi-
ty, for young people who can do ably
and oOeU at least one thing. OF this
there is not particle of doubt. The
thing to do is to get ready for the de-
mand.
The business revival will not help
the person who is not ready for it,
There never was a more favorable time
for young men and women to fit them
selves for business or a profession.
Make a start before it is too late, and
then you will be ready to take advan-
tage of coming opportunities.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1897-08-26

LET no young man imbibe the idea
that sentiment has nothing to do with
business. The sentiments of Justice
and honor. are, and always have been
the soul of every permanently pros
porous business. The really wise and
successful business man knows that
no greater business mistake can be
made than to divorce business from
fairness and integrity. The golden
rule is still the best business maxim,
even though some business men ignore
the fact.

LOOKING FORWARD.

THE beginning of another school
wear is again at hand, and it will pro-
Iect into the councils of many fam
fly, an important and perplexing
question.
The boy has completed the work OF
the home school, and it is intended to
send him away to continue his educa-
ton. Perhaps it may not be definite.
ly decided what profession he is to
prepare for:>.
Perhaps parental pride and ambi-
ton may be pftted against inclina-
tions and natural qualifications of the
boy. 1t may be hard to decide
whether it is best to make of him a
lawyer, doctor, minister, or a
journalist, or to prepare him for
some less ambitious calling.
Into these family councils we have
no wish to intrude, but we may be par
doned for observing that many good
farmer, mechanic, or business man
has been spoiled in order to make a
third-rate lawyer, doctor or preacher.
Family pride ought TO cut no figure
when it comes to choosing a life voca-
ton for the child. The one desirable
thing is that he become a useful and
self-supporting citizen, whether he
be blacksmith or bank president.
We assume, of course, that the school
to which the boy is sent, will be selected
with direct reference to his chosen
calling. To choose school at hap
hazard, merely to give the boy an
education" and without regard to
his probable future career, is to max
a grave mistake, and especially so, if
the boy is to make his own way.
Parents who are uncertain as to
what course would be best for their
sons or their daughters, all things
considered, are invited to come to At
lantic, accompanied by their chill
dren, call at the college and talk the
matter over with the president and his
able corps of instructors. 1t will GER
tainly do no harm, and they may be of
valuable aid in deciding this import
ant question.
The daughter may desire to make
teacher of herself. If so. we want to
show you our splendid facilities for
this noble calling. Should she wish
to fit herself for entering college, her
wants will be fully met here. IT,
however, she is more interested in
taking course in Music, Art, Elocu-
ton, or Shorthand, we want you to
see our courses in these departments,
and our complete equipment for sue
eessfully teaching the same.
The son may not care to spend a
long time in school, so he desires to Sc
cure an education of the most practi-
cal nature, one which will help him
most in the active duties of life in
which he must soon engage. Such
may be all he wants; if so, we desire
to show him our Actual Practice
Method of Teaching Business which
we employ in our school. 1t is iden-
teal with that in use in the busy
streets of our cities. TO fully appre-
ciate the merits of this system and
the results accomplished by it's use
one must see the students at work.

FOR MORE COLLEGES.

SECRETARY WILSON'S views. Fav-
or smaller institutions that get nearer
the masses.
WASHINGTON, ID. c., June Sit
never occurred to me that there were
too manv colleges" said Secretary
thought that there were not enough.
| have heard of men being educated
beyond their sphere, but | am very
sure the learning they acquired must
have contributed to their happiness
as well as to their usefulness. Ihave
heard of men being spoiled by educa-
ton, but / have never seen such a
thing, and it seems to me that a man
who is fool with an education, if such
thing is possible, must have been
poor stuff to begin with. You can not
make silk purse out of sow's ear.
That has been demonstrated by the ex-
perience of centuries, but in all of my
career as an educator | have never
found boy or girl who wasn't the
better for learning something, and
the nearer you get the colleges to the
people, the more people you will get
into the colleges. l think they do
more good if they are scattered. The
fewer pupils professor has, the more
attention he can give them, and
while, of course, he ought to have
enough to provide him decent COM
pensation, he ought not to have more
than he can handle. There are forty
colleges in Iowa already, and they are
multiplying all the time. | hope to
see the day when there is college in
every county and five hundred stud
ents in every college. These local
colleges may not afford the same
privileges for scientific education
that a young man might obtain at
Yale, or Harvard, or Princeton, but
you must remember that compare
lively few families are able to send
their sons to such institutions, or any
considerable distance from home.
The most useful college for the West
ern States is the one which let's the
students 90 to their homes every Fri
day night and stay over till Monday
morning. Some of the institutions
out west are very poor, but they are
not too poor to give boy an educa-
ton, and they teach him lessons in

LET Me SEE YOUR WRITlN0.

This is the usual remark that a
business man makes, when confronted
by an applicant for an office position.
The inability to write well has kept
many poor fellow at the bottom OF
the ladder. 1t is not at all necessary
for tie applicant for a business posi-
ton to be a pen artist. Indeed, ten
dency to write with superabund-
ance of fancy curves and shades would
be rather disadvantage than other
wise. What is wanted is plain,
neat direct, and facile penmanship,
not too coarse, and above all, easy to
read. Ease, simplicity and rapidit,
have their value, but legibility is the
one Indispensable thing in office
writing.
Especially important is it that the
clerk or accountant make plain and
neat figures. A single badly formed
figure may result in TIN owing ledger
out OF balance. or in producing a
wrong entry that may cause much
vexation and even positive loss.
In fact, doubtful or badly formed
figures are not tolerated in any bust
ness office, and the first step in bust
ness training should be in the direc-
tion of learning to write according to
the requirements of practical bust
ness.
While the practical character of
our actual business training does
much to train the student in business
writing, and to make him careful in
figures, we do not trust the
matter to the bookkeeping work, but
devote much time to the individual
of our students IN. rapid
business penmanship. We recognize
fully the Importance of this branch
of instruction, and have left nothing
undone that will place our graduates
fully up to the mark in business
writing.
All students of this school who are
enrolled in any of the regular depart
ments are entitled to daily instruc-
ton in penmanship under pen artist.
