BAY PATH INSTITUTE.
OPENS IN NEW QUARTERS, WITH
NEW EQUIPMENT, SEPT. THIRD.

Among the educational institutions of
Springfield, the Bay Path has won q
place. The moving OF the school from
the Y. M. q. A. building to larger, more
accessible quarters In the Whitney build
Ing, next TO the Post Office, has brought
II to public attention. The value OF busi-
ness education ls being more and more
appreciated, How many fail because OF
a lack OF knowledge OF business princi-
ples. The brilliant orator, doctor or cler-
gyman, who has given to the world some
OF its thoughts, failed to reap the fruit Of
his own labor because he did not manage
his affairs In business like way.
How many capable, intelligent trades.
men and farmers, who understand their
work and do II we'll, fail because OF sharp
competition In business affairs. The sud-
den death Of the head OF the family often
puts those dependent on him at tho mercy
OF unscrupulous persons.
The institution has been gradually gain
Ing merit In preparing students for posi-
tions by O system OF It's own, which has
proved to be very popular and Of much
advantage. 30 many calls we're received
from superintendents for teachers that
the Institution introduced department
to prepare students for commercial high
school positions, and has been successful
In placing good number OF teachers In
this section, New York, Pennsylvania and
Rhode Island. The individual instruc-
tion that tho school affords with It's num-
bers OF teachers proves to be OF much I'm
portance, admitting the students to take
up the work ut the point OF his farthest
advancement and progress according to
his ability. The routine work begine
with the rudimentary studies, and II the
student Is not thoroughly prepared In the
common branches OF Arithmetic, Spell
Ing and English Composition, much at-
tention Is given to these subjects until
they are thoroughly mastered. A rapid
plain business hand OF penmanship lie
taught except In cases where elegant writ.
Ing is desired. Lessons In Commercial
and tried as do most commonly come into
practice In every day life. The book.
keeping department is modelled after the
most approved forms and continues from
simple exercises Of debit and credit t
whatever advanced methods the student.
may choose, such as commission busi
ness, coal, lumber, manufacturing, Job
bing, wholesale, retail and banking. TIL,
safeguard system is taught as used II
some of the largest houses In the city
and other improved methods adopted an,
approved by the merchants of Springfield
and vicinity are explained.
In the shorthand and typewriting de
lpartment much attention Is paid to Ems
lish composition and other essentials tha
will most help the business man In hi
correspondence and Office duties. Goo
stenographers and bookkeepers are In de
mand, as Is exemplified by the fact tha
Bay Path Is very often without studer
to fill a position for which 1t has bee
called upon. The school Is designed t
furnish finished education and solicits
high class of mature students. The carr
estness of the students In their work |
readily seen.
The school does practically no adver
tising, its pupils coming by recommends
tion or by knowledge of the success O
former students. The advantages of tn
equipment are appreciated by all who Wis
1t the rooms, tending to show that Ba,
Path means to do the very best CONNER
cial work. The success Bay Path stu
dents have had in business Offices prom
ises we'll for the class that will enter Sept
8, and the school with the new facilitie
Is bound to attract attention.
