fact that every graduate of his depart
ment is now employed, proves the tho
roughness of his work and his ability
as teacher. Mr.. Owens has been con-
four years. He is an expert stenograph-
er and typewriter operator, has had
years of practical experience in addition
to his theoretical knowledge, and is tho
roughly conversant with all modern sys-
TENS of shorthand, but prefers the Ec-
lectic and Gregg. Mr. Owen, Mr.. Leigh
Toland and Mr.. w. G. Lowe, all former
graduates of Toland schools were called
upon to assist the publishers of the E$
lectc System in their recent revision of
that text.
In addition TO his ability as a teach
er of shorthand, Mr.. Owen has rare
skill as a pen artist and has furnished
drawings for both literary and advertis
ing matter. He was selected for the
important position he now holds, over
fifteen applicants. He is an earnest and
enthusiastic teacher and the only COM
plaint that has ever been registered
against him was that he expected too
much of his graduates"
Mr.. Leigh Toland, is also well known
to the citizens of Mankato, having had
the entire management of the Univer-
sity last year. Mr. Toland although
young man, has had five years manager
ial experience, is an expert stenograph-
er and typewriter operator and the ar
rangement of the Eclectic System, as
used in the Toland schools, was COM
piled by him. Mr.. Toland is gentle
man in every sense of the word and has
many friends and no enemies in Man
kato. He has the respect and esteem
of all those who have met him, either
socially or in business way. He will
act as secretary, and general assistant,
whenever his services are required. The
prospects are that after this year, Mr..
Leigh Toland will be the resident mama
ger of the University and the other
Toland schools in this state.
The assistant teachers for Mr.. To-
lands schools have been engaged, but as
signments of positions have not yet
been made.
The Free Press takes pleasure in COM
mending the Toland Business University
as responsible and high grade business
training school, and feels confident that
visit to that institution and an ex-
planation of its methods by Mr.. Davis
will satisfy the most skeptical that it
is in every respect as advertised.
In concluding this article, we desire
to call attention to the catalogue of the
Toland schools, which contains the most
positive proof of the success of Toland
graduates and the thoroughness of his
methods. 1t contains the portraits of
about 1000 students whom Mr.. Toland
has assisted in securing employment,
letters acknowledging Mr.. Toland's as
sistance in securing them employment
and letters from their employers, vouch
ing for the competency of students sent
them by Mr.. Toland 1t also contains
commendatory letters from prominent
professional men, including Ex-Governor
Van SAINT of Minnesota; Rt. Rev. Bish-
op Schebach of La Crosse, Wis; Ex-
Chief Justice Shope of Illinois, and hum
dreds of Others
We are informed that formal re-
ception will be given at the opening
of the University in its new quarters.
or shortly after. This will enable all
interested to learn what constitutes a
high grade, modern business training
school and to become familiar with the
office appliances used in modern bust
ness houses.
