UNPARALLELED GROWTH
Of San Bernardino Business College. Many Preparing for Civil Service Examinations field There.

Examinations Held There.
 The attendance in the San BernardinO Business College this fall is a record breaker. more than twice what it was a year ago, and by far the largest in the history of the school. Probably no Oth CT school in California has ever enjoyed the growth and prosperity now accorded to this institution, which Is enrolling students from Oregon to Mexico and many other states.
 According to the San Bernardino pa pers this remarkable growth is due: lst to the extraordinary demand for help at handsome salaries in the various de partments of the civil service, thls school having arranged withthe author ities at Washington to hold Tn San Der nardino semi-annual civil service exam nations for 56 different government po- sitions and this being the only school ln California making speciality ot tram ing for the U s. Civil Service and as sisting young people to secure govern ment positions.
 2d, the famous lightning Legible Shorthand is taught there by its author in half the time and for half the cost of the old systems.
 Sd, the school has recently spent many thousand dollars putting in busi- ness offices, banks, 40 new typewriters and other improvements. It is to-day one of the best equipped in the West and has specialist in charge of every department. Any of our young people interested in the work can no doubt get particulars by writing the school.
