good as can be hadS its systems are
the best TO be had, and the persona
attention and interest paid to each
student makes the school a most de-
sirable one to attend. The interest
in the student does not cease when
1he finishes his course, but continues
until he is placed in. good paying
position. If you cannot call and VISIT
