College VS.. Business Col
lege Education.

There is nothing more to be APP
plauded than a college education 1t

and woman, and fits them to move

society of their fellows. 1t shapes

you shall attend. Don't make a mis-
take here. Choose a school with
reputation for integrity, financial
backing. and one which promghgates
only the latest improved methods
The OK cart and stage coach are
still in use in many parts of the
world. and the forked stick has, not
been supplanted by more modern
machinery; but If you were going to
start a farm would you not want the

chain of schools being established
over the entire West, with an incor-

comforts the sole right to teach the
new Zigzag Lightning Shorthand. the
system which is rapidly becoming
famous in this part of hte country.
The Zigzag Shorthand is far super
dor. more modern in every way; it
is a system that is easy to learn and
has often been mastered by young
sters of from 10 ito ~ years of age.
Where the old systems have over
500 rules, almost 500 exceptions, and
thousands of word signs to be COM
