mercial School has arranged COURSES
that stand alone in this city for com
pleteness and clearness in business
The school has come to the front will
rapid strides. Business men have
found the graduates trained In bust
ness affairs to a high degree. During
the month of August almost fifty calls
for stenographers and bookkeepers
were made.
The school is conducted on a fail
business proposition. That in which
the school stands alone in Seattle
forms a unique feature; and yet it Is
only an example of the business pr1n
ciples that should pervade every enter
prise. The school refunds tuition
yes, it stands ready in word and act
to refund any unused tuition in case
a student desires to leave the school,
for any reason. This is nothing more
than right, yet as stated before, the
school is the only one in Seattle that
does this.
It means much for a school. II
means that all teaching and work must
be of merit or else the students will
not stay. 1t must give better courses
provide better instructors and secure
high-class positions for the graduating
students. That these conditions are
amply met is attested by the good will
of the students towards the school,
Only two students became dissatisfied
during the past year,-because the
teachers were too eXacting. One has
since expressed desire to return.
But during the school year just
closed As students of other local bust
ness colleges, who had become dissatis
fed, or wanted more advanced work
left the schools of their first choice
and enrolled with the Seattle CONNER
cial School. Many graduates and stu
dents of other schools were placed In
well-paying positions by the Conner
cial School. This is another reason why
this school is so popular, and is re
ceiving some of it's best recommends
lions from the students of other
schools.
The bookkeeping course is so ar
ranged as to familiarize the students
with the terms of twenty different
lines of business. A strong feature is
the special column scheme. Every set
embodies some special ruling. Over
100 time and labor saving devices
for the bookkeeper are explained and
illustrated. Many of the special helps
forming part of the course have been
purchased by bookkeepers for prices
ranging from $40 to $50. Yet the
course in bookkeeping is not long and
tedious. There is no unnecessary rep
etition. The student does that which
business demands and which the bust
ness man endorses. That is why sew
eral leading bookkeepers of Seattle
have pronounced this course superior
and have given it unqualified endorse
ment.
The SHORTHAND department is Ger
tainly strong. An experienced cour'
and medical reporter trains the ad
vanced students. The graduating tests
are high. But the graduates are better
than the average stenographers. three
teachers give daily instruction. The
National Convention of Congregational
Ministers which met in Seattle Sept
14-18, selected it's official stenographeI
from the advanced shorthand class
The school has right to feel f1attered
Full courses in English are carried
The text books are up-to-date and are
published by such well-known publish
ers as the American Book Co. They
are endorsed by school men. The Sc
attic High School adopted some OF the
books for the coming year that have
been in use in the Seattle Commercial
School for some time.
