Return Of Prosperity.

| Crosse Daily Press prints the fol-
| lowing relative to the Wisconsin Busi-
ness University of La Crosse. 1t will
undoubtedly prove interesting reading
matter tothose desiring a business edu-
cation, and will probably assist N many
in deciding what school to attend.
| Mr.. Toland also owns and conducts
business schools at Winona, Eau Claire,
Wausau and Monroe. That those
schools will prove equally successful in
! locating graduates we have every rea-
son to believe, as Mr.. TOland employs
the very best teachers that money can
! secure, and from what we are able to
learn, every student from this county
who has graduated from a Toland
Business University, has secured
desirable employment.
If anyone doubts that business, in
every line, is better than it has been
for years, they should visit the office
of the Wisconsin Business University
and interview its hustling owner. F. J.
| TOland. A Press reporter in search of
news, visited Mr.. TOland today and
elected the following facts:
| Since January more than one hun
! dred graduates Of Mr.. TOland' S schools
have been sent to lucrative positions.
Every graduate of the shorthand de-
| partment is employed, and during the
past few weeks he has had numerous
calls for graduates that he could not
| fill. In proof of this statement. the
| writer was shown letters from Chicago,
| Denver, st. Paul, and numerous other
cities offering good salaries for COM
| petent stenOgrapherS, and was also
| shown letters from both the Chicago
office and st. Paul office of Wyckoff,
SeamanS and Benedict, in answer to
grapher for the milwaukee," in this
city, stating that they had mo one to
send" and that, in both of those cities,
1.-THE demand for competent steno-
grapherS was in excess of the supply"
From the list of employed students

More than 200 of Mr.. Toland's |
students are now employed in La
Crosse alone: we doubt if there is a
firm of any Importance in the city
that does not employ one or more.
The prospects now are that the
''W. B. Z" will be filled to its utmost
capacity by the beginning of the winter
term, and that his WinOna, Eau Claire.
Wausau and Monroe schools will be
equally prosperous
