Here the student receives the attention
which earnest, devoted professors give to
those who seek assistance on the road to
learning. Consecrated to their task by
higher considerations than temporal gain
can furnish, the Christian Brothers give
the student an education on religious prin-
ctplea. Upon this foundation they build

situated upon a tract of more than thirty
acres there are ample grounds for all ath.

This college has done much to elevate

WEIDEL'S COLLEGE MAKES
A NOTABLE RECORD.

Hardly two years ago this college was
opened for business at $40 Olive street
with two teachers. and to-day 1t occupies
1888 and $40. and contractors are now en-
larging the space to accommodate the
steadily increasing patronage that Is in
structed by fourteen teachers
This rapid growth is due to the fact that
no false allurements are held out to the
inquiring patron. and the careful fulfill
ment OF every promise. The young lady

gets just the instruction she needs, and
friends.
A large number of its patrons take the
course merely to be able to cut, fit and
make their own garments, as the cost is
less than the cost Of having a suit made
besides the experience and knowledge
gained.
Then a great many dressmakers and
ladies' tailors take course to. learn the
newest and best things in their line.
Many young men take the evening
course In drafting and designing to become
professionals in this. line. as they can
then earn large salaries.
