Business College, Water
vile Maine.

Waterville has long been noted for
its superior educational advantages,
found both in the public schools and
the higher institutions of learning, as
Colby College and Coburn Classical
Institute.
But it is with pleasure that we now
call the attention, not only of our citi-
zens but of our readers in all parts Of
the State to much younger and less
pretentious school, that is however
entitled to take high rank in its class,
and must add to the reputation of the
city as an educational center. We re-
fer to Morgan's Business College
which is now without question one
of the leading and very best equipped
institutions of the kind in the State.
1t now occupies new quarters in the
block just completed by the Hon. Will
liam T. Haines.
This College has been in existence
for ten years formerly being known
as Kiest's Business College.
Two years ago the school was pur-
chased by w. H. Morgan, Maine man
and graduate of Kent's Hill. In the
year of 1900 Mr.. Morgan entered the
Rochester Business Institute at
Rochester n. Y, where he took a
special course of study known as
1.-THE Teachers Training Course"
After Mr.. Morgan's graduation from
Rochester Institute he was engaged
for few years as teacher in some of
the largest business colleges in New
York City and Boston, consequently,
his return to Maine found him well
qualified to assume the work which
he undertook.
The growth of the school under Mr..
Morgan's supervision has indeed been
extraordinary.
In fact the schools former quarters
had become inadequate and the recent
move was practical necessity.
The new school rooms were specially
designed for Business college work oc-
cupying nearly an entire floor of the
block, and being conveniently ar
ranged, we'll lighted and beautifully
finished are indeed most admirably
adapted to their present use.
A main commercial room, a separ-
ate room for typewriting, another for
stenopraphic work, shorthand dicta-
ton room, and a students reading
room together with fine suit of pri-
vate offices model Office department
etc., all most thoroughly equipped and
p
structors can but impress the most
disinterested person with the fact that
to all outward appearances at least
Morgan's Business College is an ideal
institution.
In speaking of the model Office de-
partment Mr.. Morgan claims his
school to be the first in the State to
install the Globe Filing Cabinet for
the use of its students thus giving
them the advantages of three of the
most up to date systems of filing now
in use. He also feels safe in saying
that his school was the first in the
State to enter into the much needed
and time saving method of giving
direct dictation to the student on the
typewriting machine. This is great
time saver to the student over the
old method of transeribing shorthand
notes and enables him to accomplish
twice the labor in a given time, and
makes him of much more worth to his
future employer.
a reading room equipped with
choice literature for the use of the
students, including on its tables more
than twenty of the leading magazines,
is a feature of no small importance to
school of this kind.
The courses of study are most COM
plete, thorough, and comprehensive.
In speaking of securing good posi-
tions for the graduates of the school,
Mr.. Morgan informs us that the con-
slant demand for competent Office
help far exceeds the supply and that
at the present time he is behind in
filing the open positions on his lists.
The fall term will open September
with the largest enrolment of any
school of the class in this part of the
country Turf, Farm & Home.
