BUSINESS COLLEGE NOTES.

Prof. Wilson, who has charge of the
shorthand department this year, came
in last Saturday from his home, Bowling
Green, KY.
Several of last years students have
returned to complete their work and
with the beginners are starting over
with a vim and determination which
augurs success.
The general comment OF those who
have come to our new quarters is what
delightful school rooms An ideal
modern Business College" If you, kind
reader, have not looked in upon us, re.
member that you are welcome.
We are really too busy enrolling stu.
dents and getting school matters general
ly arranged to chronicle many items
this week, but trust that these notes
from time TO time throughout the schol-
astic year may prove of interest to ali
of our readers.
While our enrolment for the first
week is very satisfactory. we have a
number promised for next wbek, and in
fact expect to enroll new students vir.
tually weekly throughout the school
year. While this is fact, however, do
not encourage young people to delay
their entrance, as the more quickly this
work is begun the sooner good office
position is furnished to each one COM
petent.
Reports have come in from the other
Moothart schools that the openings are
satisfactory and prospects for con-
tinued additional enrolment excellent
in other words, the young people. not
only OF Southeast Missouri, but of the
entire country, are beginning 10 look
the stern realities of life squarely in the
face, and deciding that il one year S
good, consistent school work will thor
oughiy prepare them for an Office po-
sition which is absolutely guaranteed,
that this is the kind of training they
want.
The College football team has ar
ranged a good schedule with strong
teams and will open the season with the
Cape Normals early in October. The
team will make several good trips and
the prospects for a successful football
season in Pennington were never better.
The contest for positions on the team
has begun and promises to be sharp and
interesting, as Captain Pipkln has de-
cided to place the men on the basis Of
their willingness to practice rather than
their regulations as "oid stars"
