His School Already an Assured Sue
cess--Why He Succeeds.

Less than two months ago the Toland
Business University of Mankato existed
only on paper. Today it is an assured
success, nearly one hundred students
having signifed their intention of enter
ing at the beginning of fall term, Sept.
9th.
To those unfamiliar with Mr.. Toland's
methods and past record, his success is
phenomenal. 1t is due, however, neither
to luck nor location, but to intensely
practical and up-todate methods, liber-
al advertising, and corps of solicitors
and teachers that are unexcelled. Mr..
Toland's name is synonymous of all
that is practical in education. He owns
and operates schools in three different
states, every one of which was sue
cess from the start. High grade work,
liberal treatment of students, and un-
varying success of graduates in secur-
ing employment, insure to students
something very different from the results
His teachers are the best that mony can
secure, and are not only teachers, but in
every instance have had practical ex-
perience in the office or counting house
and know what business men expect of
their employees. Consequently, the stu
dents time is not wasted on the theoreti-
cal nonsense and playing at business"
as in the average business college.
The following statement from The La
Crosse Daily Press is worthy of the con-
sideration of those desiring an educa-
ton that will qualify them for practi
cal work: "Before Mr.. Toland located in
this city business men would not employ
the graduates of our so-called business
college, claiming,and rightly too, that they
were in no way qualified for actual bust
ness. They do not talk that way now
as Mr. Toland has shown them the diff
ference between the half finished pro-
duct of former schools and young men
and women he has prepared for bust
ness. One firm in this city employs
twenty-six of Mr.. Toland's graduates,
among which number is included head
bookkeeper, head stenographer, cashier,
assistant cashier, advertising manager
and credit man, the others being employ
ed as bookkeepers and stenographers."
Another thing that is worthy of con-
sideration is the fact that Mr.. Toland is
thoroughly responsible and his financial
standing insures that no expense will
be spared in equipment of his school,
employment of teachers, etc.
The following extracts from letters
written by bankers who are acquainted
with Mr.. Toland and his schools are
conclusive proof as to his standing.
