.OELWE|N BUSINESS
UNIVERSITY EXPANDS.
BRANCH TO BE ESTABLISHED
IN WATERLOO.
Opening September Twill Occupy
Third Floor in Fowler Building.

AT the earnest solicitation of the
Commercial Club and Board of
Trade of Waterloo, Iowa, Professor
r. E. Eklund has been prevailed
upon to open branch school in
that city September 1st.
The new institution will be known
as the Waterloo College of Com
merce and will occupy the entire
third floor of the Fowler building,
corner of Fourth and Lafayette
streets. This is one of the best To-
cations for a Business Training
School in the city of Waterloo, as it
is opposite the Street Car waiting
room.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Oelwein Business University, owned
by Mr.. Eklund, is one of the largest
finest, and best equipped business
training schools in the state, it has
been apparent for some time that it's
ever increasing patronage and grow
ing popularity demanded an en-
largement of it's present quarters
or the establishment of branch
school.
Our wide awake sister city, Wat
erloo, has taken advantage of the
situation and is to be congratulated
on inducing Professor Eklund to
establish his branch school in their
city.
The Waterloo College of Com,
merce will be conducted on the same
high plane as the o. B. U. and with
Professor Eklund at the head it is
an assured success. Its equipment
in every department will be modern
in every way, including the latest
Office devices. The method of in
struction insures a thorough bust.
ness training to all students, en-
abling Mr.. Eklund to place all grad
yates in office positions, with the
assurance that they will be thorough
ly competent.
The branch school at Waterloo
will be under the efficient manage
ment of Prof. II. O. Davis, principal
of the Advanced Bookkeeping and
Office Practice in the Oelwein Bust
ness University. Mr.. Davis has
been accociated with the o. B. u
for several years and is exception
ally we'll qualified for the position
1t is exceedingly gratifying to
learn that Prof. Eklund intends to
continue his residence in Oelwein
and direct his efforts to the enlarge
ment and betterment OF the Oelwein
Business University.
With these two high class Bust
ness Training Schools Mr.. Eklund
will be better enabled to fill the
ever increasing demand for his grad
yates and we earnestly advise all
young people desiring business
education to attend one of these
colleges.-Oelwein Record, June IL f,

EnaIand,s Day.

April % is IL memorable day in Eng
fish history. To begin with, it is the
day dedicated to the patron saint of
England, st. George. 1t was through
the crusaders that st. George was
thus selected. He was born in Cappa-
docio. and later his bravery against
the Romans became a military tradl-
ton: hence the regard for him ON the
part Of the English warriors who en-
gagged in the crusades. On this day
also Shakespeare is reported to have
been born and died. Later, In 1861,
Charles IL. was crowned king on April
%. Lastly, Wordsworth died ON this
momentous day.-London Standard.
