Situations Secured for Our Graduates Free Of Charge
MATHEMATICS.

One Of the most important elements
in the success of a business man is
thorough knowledge of Mathematics.
Most Business Colleges treat this as
side issue and leave the pupil to ac-
quire the best knowledge of the science
that he can. President Lee has deemed
this department Of such vast Importance
that he has put it in tn ehands OF
learned specialist who has few equals
in this line.
Prof. J. w. McLaury, A. b., former
president of Galesburg University or
Wisconsin, has been put incharge of
this department. lie will give especial
attention to the individual needs of The
pupils under him, and will see that this
study is given the attention its import
ance demands.

BANKING.

In the College we have in practical
operation an actual Bank, complete in
every detail and operated on the lines
of the most progressive modern banking
houses.
This institution has a president, direc-
tors, cashier, teller and all the officers
of the regular bank. The same books
are kept and the same system used as in
the best banks in the country.
Every detail is here taught exactly
as it is practiced, and young man can
so direct from our college into a bank
and be able to discharge the duties OF
any position to which he may be called.
IF he goes into other business he knows
better how to transact the business OF
himself or his employers with the bank,
whenever he has thorough knowledge
of banking methods.

ADVERTISING.

The writing of advertisements has be-
come a matter of such Importance to
merchants and other business men that
it plays large part in the success of
any business. The effectiveness of adj
vertising depends on the way in which it
is written and displayed Many of the
largest stores pay experts large salaries
to write their advertisements for them.
This is of so much Importance to BUSH
ness men that President Lee has con-
Guided to Introduce innovation and
has established a regular department in
which pupils will be taught to conceive,
write and display advertising in the
modern and effective manner. This is
done by no other business college in the
United States. We feel sure that mer-
chants and newspaper publishers will
appreciate the Importance of this novel
department.

TELECRAPAY.

The invention OF the magnetic tcie-
graph brought into existence a new fea-
ture in commercial life and one that
requires a particular expert knowledge.
There is always demand for the ex-
pert telegraphcr wherever he may be

cialy wide field is opened up i'll our new
possessions Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines There is n great demand
for experts, and large salaries will he

Our Telegraph Department is com
petc in its equipment, and is in charge
of an instructor who thoroughly under

Guilty of impartinG his knowledge readily
to his pupils. This is the best place
in the South to learn telegraphy.

TYPEWRITING.

To be an expert stenographer one
must learn to rapidly manipulate that
printing press Of the modern business
man, the typewriter.
The stenographer who is an expert
with the machine can always secure
employment where slower operators
would be turned aside.
President Lee considers the rapid
manipulation of the typewriter of such
prime Importance that he has estab-
lished department in which type
writing is specifically taught. Other
schools leave you, by luck, or chance
to acquire such II knowledge of the
machine as You may, by mere practice.
Prof. Geo. NJ. Fleming is an expert
who understands his business thorough
~, and teaches our pupils all about the
mechanism of the typewriter and its
operation.

PENMANSHIP,

A good handwriting plays a great part
in the business success or failure of any
young man or woman. Some people
claim that the art of penmanship is born
in a person; but we prove by actual
practice that we can teach anyone OF
average intelligence to write first-class
hand in a few months practice. Prof
Geo. Lemond who ha shad over twenty
years experience in this particular
work, has few equals as an instructor in
the country. He is an expert in both
plain and fancy penmanship, and every
phase of this useful and fascinating art
is taught here under the most favorable
conditions. Our pupils are noted for
their splendid penmanship, and this is a
feature especially appreciated by bust

The Two Platforms.

The Democratic programme for 1900 Ia
substantially made up already. 1t will con-
sist Of all the imaginary horrors, woes and
delirium of the Chicago platform, rein
forced by the new spectres Of Trusts, mill
tarism and anti-imperialism. The Demo-
cratic party is nothing but ghost, gibber-
ing valnly from the bushes at Progress
striding cheerily by.
The Republican platform for 1900 will be
a platform Of achievement, Of facts. 1t will
be success and honor abroad, good times
at home. 1t will be Cuba and Porto Rico
and the Philippines. The Republicans will
ask to be continued in power because they
have used power wisely and fortunately.
The Democrats, with their blue devils and
their money devils, can do nothing against
the party OF victory and prosperity.
To be Democrat at present man must
believe in many follies and many incred-
bilities but the most incredible and fool
ish thing OF all the articles to which he
must now subscribe is the assumption that
these United States, better and prouder
and greater and richer than ever before,
are a poor, oppressed, miserable, down.
trodden, shiftless country.
The Republican party knows how to rule.
The Democratic party knows how to write
platforms for incompetents and idiots.

China is struggling with a b!metaIic
problem, different in terms from that which
puzzles the civilized world but one for which
II seems to be equally difficult to find a
satisfactory solution. In her case, silver Is,
indeed, a factor, but not on account Of its
relation to gold. Copper is the metal max
ing the trouble, and it looks rs though it
must either drive out silver or be driven
out by it,
Gold is not coined by the Chinese Govern
ment, and silver only to limited amount.
The unit of value is certain weight OF sill
yer called tael, worth about $O.75, and
though Mexican and other silver dollars
circulate they pass only for what they are
worth as bullion. Copper alleged with zinc
Is, however, coined by the Government into
what are called cash, at the rate OF 1 900 to
the tael. Owing to the fall in silver and the
rise in copper. the metal required for 900
cash costs 1854 taels and threatens to cost
still more. Consequently, the holders Of
cash are boarding them or melting them
down to sell as metal so that they are grad
ually disappearing from circulation.
Undoubtedly a remedy will be found for
the evil, but it will necessarily involve the
abandonment Of the coinage OF copper at a
fixed ratio to the tael. The maintenance OF
two standards OF value is as impossible when
one is silver and the other copper, as when
one is silver and the other gold.

The dispute over the boundary between
Canadian territory and the territory Of the
United States shows the monstrous absurd
aty Of its existence.
There should not be any boundary or any
other such question for the two countries
to wrangle about.
The people of this republic and OF the
Dominion are at heart the same, and in
their origin akin. They speak the same
language, and their social order is founded
on the same principles. In this respect
England also Ia like Canada and the United
States, but Canada and the United States
have an uneQualled bond in being side by
side on the same continent.
Was people ever before so cold to the
land it lives in +? Was there ever coun-
try SO stubborn an enemy Of itself az
Canada?
The day after Canada discards foreign

own Governors, as do the States OF the Amer
lean Union, her hewiderment. her languor
and her subordination will change into life,

feel the first thrill of patriotism.

The Patriotism Of Harvard.

Prof. IRA NJ. HOLLIS Professor Of En-
cheering in Harvard University, delivered
the Decoration Day address before the Har-
ward Memorial Society in the theatre Of
Memorial Hall. Prof. HOLLIS had "seen
his fathers regiment go out" TO the strug
gle OF the civil war, with a promise, to his
childish fancy. Of "a glorious picnic" But
when the stream OF wounded came pouring
North and began to follow the procession in
it's daily march to the cemetery, the feeling
gradually dawned upon me that my father
might never come home" and So" con-
tinued Prof. HOLLIS, every man has his
own sensation as he passes through this
hall; yet all must leave 1t with higher re-
spect for their countrymen."
But let us hear Prof. HOLLIS on the
present:
Ask yourselves here II the members OF that
small party which detects the signs of growing
despotism in America are right 1t ia the sheerest
to point out certain abuses in political
methods to point to the history of the past year.

AS to the path Of duty" the policy to
prevail in connection with our new terri
tory must be defined by Congress-. But
OF one thing we may be sure" continued
Prof HOLLIS in the same vein OF patri-
otism; "a safe guide is not to be found
among those amiable and well-intentioned
men who lack real faith In their country"

Some 1899 Elections.

The States which are to elect Governors
this year are Ohio. Kentucky and Mary
land, Iowa, Massachusetts and Mississippi
Rhode Island has already, at the April cleo
ton, chosen it's Governor.
The six States to elect Governors this
year may be subdlvided thus on geo.
graphical lines: The two Western States
Ohio and Iowa, which elect in "off years /"
for two years term; the three Southern
or border States, Mississippi, Kentucky
and Maryland, which have four years
term for Governor terminating In the year
preceding the Presidential election, and
one New England State, Massachusetts,
which adheres to the policy Of an annual
election for Governor in November
In all the States where there is division
among the Republicans, it concerns merely
the candidates to be nominated; there Is no
contest over party principles. On the Dem
ocratic side, however, Indifference as to the
personality Of candidates is displayed, and
the division is In party principles.
