The Business College is in close
touch with the business men of the
city. There is scarcely an institution
that does not number among its most
trusted employees former students of
this college. AS a result, attending
students, investigating actual business
methods as carried on in the various
business houses, are shown the ut
most courtesy.

inviting feature of the place is the

also be noted ample provisions for

than what we read and study. The

haunts of men; the artist, in the world

Nature of Work.

1t is the aim of the Business Col
lege to provide thorough, practical,
and technical business training. 1t
is not intended to give an extended
course in commerce, such as is given
in the universities of the country. The
aim is to fit young men and young
women for actual positions in bust
ness offices.
To this end, the major portion of
the instruction in bookkeeping, short
hand, and typewrting is individual
There are several advantages in this
plan the most important being hat
it permits the student to proceed as
rapidly as his ability will allow. He
is never held back for the sake of STU
dents less capable than himself. Some
students have in three months finished
work that other students have re-
quired twelve months to complete.
instruction in all the other branches
is mainly by class work, but indivi-
dual assistance is given whenever de-
sired.

lines along which the members of the
faculty at st. Mary's exert their eff
fort, i'll preparing the pupils entrust-
cd to their care to fill the places for
which they may be destined with
honor to themselves and benefit to
their fellow creatures yet it must be
added that the distinctive aim OF the
Sisters of the Holy Cross is to sup
plement such intellectual and artistic
training as might be elsewhere ac-
quired by assduous attention to the
physical development and well-being
of their pupils; and above and beyond
all, by unremtting and unmeasured
efforts to inculcate the sound moral
principles that must form the basis
of 4 Christian character. Knowing
too that the charm of gentle and re-
fined manners is the result of habits
acquired in youth, the Sisters use ev-
cry means Of endeavor to form their
pupils to the highest standard of
politeness and etiquette.
The entire student body is divided
into three departments; little ones UNI
der twelve years forming the Minim
department; girls from twelve to ff-
teen the Junior department.; those
over fifteen the Senior department
Each Of these departments has its
own projects, Fairgrounds and dor
mitories.
The disciplinary government OF the
school in mild, yet conducted with
hrmness and vigilance that is rcluis-
lite to secure the necessary order and
regularity of a school. The students
are trained to keep within the line OF
duty by sense of honor, justice, and
propriety, rather than through fear Of
punishment; and though the younger
children may sometimes feel the irk-
someress of lawful restraint, those of
maturer minds, who have at heart
their own welfare and progress in viz
tue and science, readily acknowledge
the wisdom and beneficience of each
and every regulation laid down for
their guidance.

A business education gives confidence
and strength to any young man or
woman, and lays the foundation for a
prosperous career.
In this college, the course of study
is thorough and comprehensive. 1t
has been outlined with great care,
and includes all the usual commercial
branches as well as others of the
highest practical and disciplinary
value. 1t turns out skilled stenogra-
pliers, competent bookkeepers, quail
fed accountants, and expert telegra-
pliers.
For fourteen years the Salt Lake
Business College, and for seven years
the / atter-day Saints Business Col
lege, were the leading commercial
schools in the West for the training
of young men and women in business
branches, and for securing good posi-
tons for their graduates, also for
many of their undergraduate students
These positions have frequently been
lucrative, in pleasant places, and in
lines of steady advancement. There
has been constant demand for the
graduates of these institutions among
reliable business houses of this city
and state-a fact that furnishes the
best of evidence as to the practical
nature of the training given.
But improvement is always pos
sible. 1t was recently decided, there
fore, by the management of the Lat
ter-day Saints University, to purchase
the Salt Lake Business College, and
to combine it with the Latter-day
Saints Business College.
The Latter-day Saints Business col
lege is now undoubtedly the foremost
institution for commercial training
within the inter-mountain west. In
equipment, facilities for practical
work, and faculty of instruction, it
ranks well with any business college
in the United States.

like the turn of the cyclonic storms

due to the earth's rotation. Jean
