IT WAS MORE THAN WE ANTicIs
PATED.

-
Our enrolment since the first of
September has been highly satisfac-
tory to us; it was more than we antic-
ipated, and new students are continu-
ing to arrive daily. We had 1,500
enrollments last year from twenty
seven states; our September opening
promises even greater success for
this year.
The demand for our graduates has
also been great. This is evidence of
the great wave of prosperity that is
again sweeping over the country.
There never was a better time for a
young man or woman to enter COM
mercial school for thorough, practi-
cal course of business
training, shorthand, typewriting and
telegraphy than now. In taking a
course of this kind, there is absolute
ly no risk to run. A business educa-
ton is no lottery, there are no blanks.
You might forget Latin or Greek. but
no matter what your vocation may be,
business education = is worth ten
times it's cost You will use it as
long as you do anything; it is worth
making sacrifice to get.

WILLIAM McAooo,
Builder of the Tunnel Under the Hud
son River, As Years Old Today.

William Gibbs McAdoo the builder
of the tunnel under the Hudson river,
named after him. was born near Ma
rietta, Ca, on October 81. 1868. He
studied law and began to practice in
Chattanooga after he had reached his
twenty-first year. In 1892 he moved
to New York and began to practice
law there until 1902. when he organ
lied the company which acquired the
old tunnel under the Hudson which
had been begun in 1874. This origi-
nal tunnel plan had proven failure
and a second attempt had met with
the same fact. McAdoo was conf
dent that the tunnel project could be
carried out successfully and he was
made president of the New York and
Jersey Railroad company, which has
since built the tunnel from Christie
pher street to Jersey City. One year
later, in 1908. he organized and was
elected president of the Hudson and
Manhattan Railroad company, which
started the tunnel from Cortlandt
street TO the Pennsylvania railroad
depot in Jersey City.
