CHARACTER OF THE SCHOOL.
IT'S AIM AND SCOPE.

q IT'S AIM AND SCOPE.
The aim Of this institution is to at
ford course Of training that will
prepare young people for business
life. Those who succeed in business
in this era of close competition are
those who have special training, and
it is the purpose of this school to
give just such training. The plan be-
ing to impart thorough and practi-
caltraining in those ordinary branches
which are so essential to SUCCESS to
every boy and girl in every day life,
and our institution furnishes a most.
admirable training for every mer-
chant or business man. Our gradu-
ates are qualified to enter at once
upon business positions without hav-
ing to serve a long apprenticeship,
thus saving many years of valuable
time, besides acquiring the advant-
ages which education always gives.
It is true that no institution can, by
any course of instruction, supply
that knowledge, ability or judgment
which comes from actual experience,
yet there is no reason why our young
men and women cannot be taught by
study and practice, those rules and
principles which readily enable them
to grasp facts and information and
make use of them. The education
gives to those who possess it a ire
mend0us advantage over those who
do not, and enable our graduates to
rise rapidly to high positions of re-
sponsibility and profit. If, when
they graduate, they go out into the
great business world we'll qualified to
fill important positions, the inference
is that their business training has
been thorough. We point with pride
to the records Of our students now in
business. Nearly every day we learn
of the substantial advancement and
increase in salary Of some former
pupil. Our courses of study are es-
pecially designed as help to those
who are willing and ambitious to help
themselves.
The methods of training in use in
this school are the result of many
years practical experience, combined
with careful, thoughtful study on the
part of the manager of the school.
All departments of the institution
are open to the inspection of the pub
lie, and anyone who will investigate
the methods employed and the re-
suits accomplished, will readily ap-
preciate the superiority of this school
over others.
New pupils enter the school daily,
the term of each dating from the day
of entrance. This being true, q large
portion of the teaching must be by
individual instruction. This indivi-
dual. instruction feature enables
each one enrolled to make the best
possible progress. BY this system
toe ambitious are not unduly retard-
ed by their association with those
who are less earnest, while those
who are backward or slow at learn
ing are not urged forward to keep
pace with others more fortunate.
Each pupil receives the instruction
and assistance from the teacher
which he personally needs. Each
pupil is placed upon his own merit
and receives credit for what he does
according to his ability. Under this
stimulus Of just competition, and
with the guidance of thoroughly com-
petent instructors, each pupil is en-
couraged to make the best progress
in his power. The school we refer
to is our own institution, the Pierre
Business University.
