CHANCES FOR
EDUCATION IN
THE Y. NJ. c. A,

Through the Charles R. Bishop Trust
and other good friends of young men
the Y. NJ. c. A. is ready to offer strict
ly first-class courses to young men in
it's night school at nominal cost. Last
year more than a hundred profited by
it. The teachers are selected not ac-
cording to how cheaply they will teach,
but according to their abili' =. They
are we'll paid and the best work is de-
manded of them. There are nearly
fifty lessons in each course, two even
ings a week, for only one or two dol
lars per course in addition to the an
nual dues of five dollars for Associa-
ton membership. The Y. M. C. A.
considers this profitable investment
for the average young man to make.
Those who know the teachers will
appreciate that the Association has
much to offer for the next six months
B. N. Newman, formerly at the head
of the English department of San
Francisco Business College, will teach
two classes in what might be called
| business English; for those who in a
limited time wish to correct imper-
fections of every day speech and i'm
prove their expression and learn how
| to write good business letter as we'll.
| H. M. Lull, a graduate of Dartmouth,
formerly a teached at Oahu College and
now teacher Of mathematics at the
High School, has well-earned repu-
tation and is sure to have good classes
| in arithmetic. L. c. Rowland is fit
ted both by training and practical ex-
| perience to keep up the Associations
reputation for bookkeeping classes, in
| which fifty-one students registered last
| season. Mr.. Rowland graduated at
| books in a business house, taught in
the San Francisco Business College,
before taking charge of. the business
course at Oahu College.
| Last season F. J. Armstrong got
such good work out of the large class
| in typewriting that more Remington
typewriters must be hired for his next
class, and he has been engaged for the
| class in stenography as we'll Mr..
Armstrong is also Berkeley man, and
has put the commercial course at the
other one of the new men in the even
| ing school is Willis T. Pope of the Nor
NAL School, who takes up mechanical
and architectural drawing. Mr.. Pope
took the engineers course in the School
of Mechanic Arts at Kansas Agricul-
tural College, taught at Doylestown,
| Pa, and taught this subject in the
Topeka Y. M. C. A.
/ Pupils began to register even before
the teachers were announced and large
classes are predicted.
! Young men who will take the pains
to look into it will find that many OF
our successful men began with little
schooling and less money. They SIM
/ ply used every opportunity, devoted
81 are time to study, mastered their
business, and left the time killers and
pleasure seekers to complain that luck
was against them. Why is it that Sc
many employers have to send to the
Coast for young men? They should
take them from lower positions in their
own establishments, but when they
look there they find cigarette fends
watching the clock instead of the en-
ployer's interests; young men not
qualified to assume greater RESPONSE
| bilities Those who study evenings
we notice are the ones who do not have
to complain of others being advanced
DER their heads. Luck is with those
young men in Honolulu who, ever
without capital, are determined to sue
coed.
