field distinctively its own. 1t has
one aim-that Of helping young men
and women better to help themselves
aad to inspire them to greater effort,
to higher attainments.
Its courses Of study will comprise q
practical training in business, thor.
ough course in shorthand, and in
addition a comprehensive course in
practical English, such as is not COM
monty introduced into the business
school. The instructors are all men
and women Of experience and bring to
the college the latest methods from
the east and west. The success Of q
commercial college, which is built
upon the foundation Of its own merits,
is not limited alone to Its spacious,
well-equipped quarters and compe'
tent instructors, but it also embraces
the policy which marks the path Of
truth and duty, which points to cour.
tesy and morality, which elicits praise
and admiration, which excites affec-
tion between college and students,
which wins the favor Of parents, and
which is based upon honest business
principles.
The Allen Commercial College Of
Abilene is not the largest institution
Of its kind in the world. nor has 1t
the only place where one can obtain a
thorough business education. lthas,
however, a larger per cent Of prac-
tical business men and experienced
instructors than similar institutions
in the state Of Kansas, and its iacil-
tiles are equal to the best. 1t is es-
tablished as an independent, non-sec-
tartan institution and stands upon Its
own merits and bids most hearty
welcome to members Of both sexes,
who wish to better their condition in
life by securing practical education.
We are not in sympathy with the
idea Of q three months course In bus
ness, and believe we are justified in
saying that it is cheaper In the end to
attend an actual commercial college
and spend little more time in OBJ
tanning something Of real value. To
know what our work will be may
prove beneficial to those contem-
plating thorough commercial train
ing. All such we would have realize
that this is strictly commercial col
lege, not merely in name but in fact,
not merely in name but in fact, not
merely because its courses embrace
..
commercial branches, but because II
is conducted in a business-like man
ner and will attract jealous young
men and women. Every student
who places himself under our instruc'
tion, will find corps Of teachers
ready and able to assist him in realiz'
ing his liie's purpose.
This institution is permanently es'
tablished in the city Of Abilene, and
open to students all Of the year. Eocf
department is headed by experienced
men assisted by efficient teachers.
