Dougherty's School.
At the present day few pursuits Of
fer to intelligent and industrious
young men and women so MANY at
fractions as does stenography. More
over. no other line of work offers so
great opportunities; shorthand work
naturally fits one for more RESPONSIBLE
positions, and then opens the way to
promotion, for the stenographer is al
ways in a confidential CAPACITY. in
close touch with the head of the con-
Germ. In this connection we desire to
make special reference to Dpugherty's
school, at 116-11S West Eighth street
which is doing such very successful
work Mr.. George E. Dougherty, the
proprietor, is himself an expert stem
tended experience. He is author and
publisher of the shorthand and type
writing methods, Dougherty's Short

NilliliS, edCfl Oh WHICH In 1CS line we
believe to be unsurpassed by any 9TH
er system and which he is exception
ally successful in imparting to his pu-
pills. He is an educationalist of the
highest rank, and his experience as an
employer as we'll as a stenographer
has fitted him to realize the needs of
the business world and to furnish the
training young people need to make
them acceptable employees. Accord
ingly his students receive a thorough
training, not merely in shorthand and
typewriting, but also in all lines of Of
flee work. and in business generally.
In fact, this school is a practical bust
ness office in which each student has
a desk and typewriter and is trained
all through the course by means Of ac-
tual work for business men, SO that
while in school he receives great
deal of actual experience. With such
thorough business training it is not
surprising that graduates of this
school find no difficulty in obtaining
employment, there being a constantly
increasing demand for them.
A. T. & S. f. Telegraph School.
There is no profession that offers
the young man such rapid advance
ment, and for which he can prepare
himself in SO short time as railroad
telegraphing and station work, and
now that this profession can be learn
ed in competent college. using
through wires of a railroad like the
great Santa Fe system, young men
preparing for a life profession should
carefully look into the advantages Of
fered by the Santa Fee Railway Tele-
graph school at 503k Kansas avenue.
Mr.. F. D. Peck, manager of the school,
is a thorough railroad operator and
station man, having had Is years con-
tinuous experience, resigning rail-
road position to take charge of this
telegraph school.
There is a great demand for COM
petent operators and station men, and
the graduates from the Santa Fe
Telegraph school are given positions
as soon as competent. During the
past year sixty-four students have
been graduated, and during the past
! four months twenty-nine operators
have been placed in positions at sal
aries averaging over $50 each.
The school averages. about 125
students each year, and owing to the
demand for admission to the school,

ton of Mr.. D. p. Beaudry has been
very successful since it's conception.
Mr.. Beaudry is very popular and
successful as a shorthand teacher and
his facilities for training young people
to become efficient stenographers and
typewriter operators are unexcelled.
He has had several years practical
office experience. along railroad and
other lines which enables him to give

The strong feature of the school is
the many different branches student

course, one of the best published to-
day, and Dement'S famous shorthand

world (402 words per minute). Is
not this proof of superiority

that they are unusually interesting for
those who wish to become well train
