Stetson University Business
Training.

There is a cry for clerks. book
keepers, typewriters and stenogra-
pliers. We can't supply the de-
mand, Good wages are paid. Bet
ter service is called for. Business
fields. They lead to partnerships.
They demand ability and training.
Stetson can give the training. Bust
ness men know it and are writ
ing to Stetson for well trained boys
and girls. Stetson can supply many
more students with good positions.
You are wanted. Will you get
ready?
The length of time required to
finish, depends on the man. Stetson
allows man to go his own pace. If
he can go fast, he goes fast. Ii he is
naturally slow, he is stimulated, but
he is not spoiled by overcrowding.
Other schools promise to graduate
students in three months, but no one
wants the product. 1t is shoddy.
Business men don't want incompe-
tents. Graduates from these three
months colleges can't get even a
trial in some places, for it is folly to
expect a boy or girl to be an expert
in any profession in three months.
There is no trouble about getting
places. Stetson will not recommend
incompetents, ldggards or fools.
That commends its work. Bust
ness men trust Stetson. Any good
boy or girl is sure of a position.
Students from StetsOn Business Col
lege are scattered all over the State.
They recommend the school. A
business college graduate goes into
nice work. He belongs to an intelli-
gent class. He chooses Il good pro-
teSSiOn.
"A man can't get something for
nothing. 1t costs to get an educa-
ton. But it does not cost much.
Clothes and food should not be
chargeable to il, for these one has to
have anyway, and they will cost
about as much one place as another.
The price of an education is in the
tuition. That has to keep up the
buildings, appliances and pay sala-
ries. These latter things are al
most wholly provided free at Stetson.
In ordinary business colleges, the
student has to pay it all. At Stet-
son the University pays a large part
of it. In other schools, where the
cost is low, the student gets little for
his money, and the school does not
pay any of it. At Stetsou also the
price is low but the student gets it
all back and in addition the sum
paid in by the University. Where
other schools put a dollar into man,
Stetson puts five. Then it gives him
the prestige of good name. 1t also
helps him to get Il place. 1t backs
him with its influence. 1t keeps in
touch with him after he leaves.
StetsOn believes in thorough work.
That takes time. The school that
promises to graduate its pupils in
three months is u false pretender.
No school can make good graduate
in three months unless he already
has a good education. 1t cannot be
done. One might as we'll advertise
to give a man n medical or law
course in three months. Such bust
ness colleges fool the pupil. They
fool the public too. They soon go
out of business. The work here must
be thoroughly done. If the founda-
tons are weak, they must be
strengthened, first.
This is a strong college. 1t has
grown from year to year. This year
The increase was 1923 over last year
On the opening day. The offices
have a frontage of 70 feet. They
represent ten different business !
houses. The latest facilities are
here. The strongest courses are
given in bookkeeping, banking, |
typewriting and in com |
non branches. The instructors are
capable and work hard. The latest
method are t; uyht, and the best re-
ults secured.
