A. GOOD IMPROVEMENTS.

Since many students come to us for a
business course, who are not sufficiently
grounded in the ordinary English
branches to ms Ike any thing like the best
possible use of our business training, we
have found it necessary to increase the
scope of our English course, without nd
ditional cost to the student, and we can
now offer advantages in this direction eX-
celled by no school in the country We
have spared no expense to get an in
structor who, for the past year, has made
our Normal English work a browning
success. Those who can pass satisfactory
examinations need not take the English
work but those who cannot pass the eX-
auinations should not only have but
want the English, because they cannot
haze good success without English. This
feature is not a Few one; we have only
added to it. it has developed the school:
and now, foi the good of all, we shall
push it. Correspondence solicited. Cali
