The Mountain State Business College,
one of West Virginia'S foremost educa-
tional institutions, is keeping right i'll
line with things progressive, as Is evil
denced by their establishing another
school in Cumberland, Md. The enrol
mcnt of the Mountain State Business
College has reached such Il number as to
make this new institution absolutely nee
eSSary to accommodate the many from
different parts of West Virginia and adj
joining States who are demanding admis-
sion. During the past year over three
hundred and fifty students have received
instruction from the President, Mr.. y.
G.. Sine, and his corps of assistants. The
Cumberland branch will be an advantage
to the many students who make their
residence in the eastern part of West
Virginia and Southern Pennsylvania as
well as those who live i'll Maryland and
Virginia. The Mountain State Business
College is not IL local affair by any means:
in fact there are students enrolled from
as far west as North Dakota and Iowa
and as far east aS the coast States

school right from the start has been really
remarkable. In Il very short time their

keeping, Stenography, Type-writing,
Pennlanship, Banking and General Bus

departments.
Those who are acquainted with the
principles of instruction i'll this school
attribute the success of the school and its
many students to the very practical mOue
of instruction that is administered.
For instance, the Banking department
is fitted up with all necessary banking
furniture and fixtures. The business of
the department is conducted by Il rcgu-
larly appointed cashier, receiving and
paying teller, bookkeeping and other
necessary assistants, all of whom are
regular students of the school. Each and
every student in turn becomes an officer
in the bank as he or she advances in the
work of learning. The rules of the
Mountain State Bank are just as string
ent and binding as they are in amy Nat
tional Bank doing business ON II real
| financial basis. None of the students is
advanced until thoroughly acquainted
with the detail working of the depart
ment just finished.
In the Book keeping department the
work of instruction is conducted in very
much the same practical way. y regular
set of books is opened aud Il certain

business upon methodical business prn-

writing departments particular attention
| is given to actual dictation and tran

The theory of Stenography is thoroughly
