everyone will doubtless be busy hav-

interesting paper all the year around,
is entitled to share in the joy of the

The entire force joins the publisher

A REGULAR
School of ~Telegraphy
Organized and Opened
at the
Southwestern Louisiana
Industrial Institute.
Lafayette, La.

We have succeeded in securing the
services of Mr.. John l. Hulse, now a
train dispatcher at Beaumont, Texas,
on the Sante Fe Railroad, to conduct
the School of Telegraphy, devoting
his entire time to this work, which will
begin December /. 1907.
The eight hour law, which will go
into effect January l, will require three
telegraph operators for all positions
where only two are now sufficient.
Therefore the demand for operators
will be greatly increased. For several
years to come no telegraph operators
will ever be out of a job unless he
strikes.
Write to US about entering; also get
a catalog Of the Institute, with full in
formation concerning all departments.
