tion in bookkeeping and to inform you
how pleased I am with the position you
secured for me.
'Wl1en I first wrote to you, I had no
idea that bookkeeping could be learned
so thoroughly and so easily by CORE
spondence. My friends laughed at the
idea, and I had always thought it neces-
sary to attend a business college to learn
bookkeeping. but such is positively not the
case. I devoted from one-half hour to
an hour to the. study each evening, and in
three weeks time I had a much better
knowledge of bookkeeping than the aver
age student who attends a business col
lege during the same period. I know this
to be true because I questioned a young
man who was taking a. course in a first
class business college, and he did not be-
gin to have the practical informa ton.
had.
"As soon as 1 finished the course I ac-
cepted a position you gave me- went
to work with a great deal of nervous
ness. After the first day this passed away
because quickly found out that the prac-
tical hints which you taught me enabled
me to take hold at once, and by the sec
ond week had charge Of a set of books
which would stagger many experienced
bookkeepers. The fact that my employer
has raised by salary twice within the pa st
three months, is the best proof that my
work has been satisfactory. I advise any
one who anticipates taking a course in
bookkeeping to take your course. It
would be impossible for any one to attend
a business college and get the same atten-
ton that you give your students. 1 have
learned that if one attends a business
college he is filed full of a lot of fancy
theories that amount to nothing when
he begins practical work. Your course
covers the entire field. When I accepted
! this position I seemed to have just ex-
actly the knowledge I required.
THE advantage in taking a. course by
| correspondence is that when you wish
| to refer to it, you always have 1t handy,
| while in taking a personal course you
must depend upon memory. During the
first few days, 1 was compelled to refer
times, had no trouble.

not do this.
You must pardon me if I appear too
enthusiastic, but several of my friends

would have spent a great deal. AS it
now stands, have a nice position, and

done for me, am very gratefully yours,
