OUR COMMERCIAL SCHOOL

BUSINESS College In the City of Viroqua,
onsin. We propose to teach all
81 cts usually taught in any first class
aess school, and will guarantee en-

BOOKKEEPING.
Objective teaching Is the moving
principle of modern education; the stu
dent now learns chemistry by labora-
| tory experience; zoology by dissection
and study in menageries and collec-
tions; surgery in performing operations
in hospitals; painting and sculpture, by
work and study in art galleries; geome-
try and applied mathematics, by induc-
| tive demonstrations. Our Actual Busi-
| ness Training applies this objective and
demonstrative method to the bookkeep-
er's art, and its prominent superiority
to the old deductive text book method,
has supplied the advocates Of tine New
Education" with a new snd effective
argument.
WHAT THE STUDENT DOES.
First. He begins the work of book
keeper the moment he enters the school.
Each transaction is pereonal and is dis
posed of as it would be in actual busi-
ness.
Second. His work is properly graded,
at drst, easy, becoming more difficult as
the business progresses. His knowledge
of bookkeeping grows with the growth
| of che business.
Third He receives all incoming and
writes all outgoing papers, calculates
them from current and not imaginary
dates
Fourth. His work covers the entire
range Of business transactions. He is
sues and receives all kinds of business
papers, including checks, orders, re-
ceipts, leases, mortgages, bills, invoices,
shipment accounts, statement of &C.

mone2 orders, and in fact every busi-
ness paper that any business man keeps
on file.

posts and checks all entries made in the

ness world with the proper knowledge

most interesting study. We teach the

method which Is taught in all the lead
ing business schools, and we use moth
ing but standard Typewriters of the

equal to the best, and our business
arithmetic is up-to-date, and only the
shortest and most approved methods
are employed. Our terms are as low as
is consistent TO good teaching. and all
we ask is that we be given fair and
impartial trial, and IL we cannot sup
port our claims, we cannot and would
not expect your patronage. Students

| To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: Since
i have been pursuing the Shorthand and
ITypewriting course under the supervis-
ion of Prof Fl. +. Cook, can, without
hesitation say, that the Modern Gregg
Shorthand" Is beyond question, the sim.
plest ond most legible and rapid system
now In existence. The Touch Method
of Typewriting is simply immense, and
the instructions are frst-class in every
particular.
Those anticipating a course in short
hand and tpyewriting, can certainly
make no mistake in attending the Viro-
qua Business College.
MISS EMMA PLOUGH,
Bookkeeper for the Tate Mercantile Co.
VIRooUA, Wis, December 8, 1908.
This is to certify that I have been at
tending the evening school which Is
being taught by Prof. II. f. Cook, and
am more than pleased with the results.
His methods are progressive and very
interesting, as the student comes face to
face with the actual business PROPOSE
tions, which is by far better than read
ing about IL In book. Prof. Cook is
certainly master OF his profession and
an able Instructor. Young men and
women who desire to obtain an educa-
tion that has a market value, can do no
better than attend the Business College
which opens up January 4, 1904.
