CAPTAIN WATERS
SPEAKS To
DOUGHERTY
STUDENTS
One Of Practical Talks by PTaC-
teal Men.
Great Possibilities in StenOgraphy for
iOung People With Grit, Gump-
ton and intelligence.

Captain J. G. Waters, the noted
Kansas lawyer, gave one of the series
of Practical Talks by Practical Men
at Dougherty's Business College, Fri
day afternoon. His speech was a
rapidfire volley of vigorous and val
liable suggestions. The speaker was
introduced by c. D. Wellman, court
reporter, who is a graduate of the
school.
Captain Waters said, in part: You
cannot pretend to what you have not
got. You must be thorough in your
work; and you must be able to con-
vince your employer that you are
thorough.
You should know how to SPELL I
cannot remember ever having COM
mitted to paper a word which / had
the slightest doubt how to spell. If
you have the slightest doubt the only
safe way is to go to the dictionary.
The very rudiments of culture con-
sists in being able to spell the Eng
fish language.
There is q deftness and daintiness in
skilled stenographer's typewritten
work that is always a pleasure for
me to see. This is just the sort of
work that you should know how to
do. To have to rub out and mark up
your work is a sign of immaturity,
and lack of thoroughness and accu-
racy.
You should know how to punctuate.
ana the TWO ththSo ia
punctuation are the period and the
comma. Don't spend any time or
trouble in learning the difference be-
tween semicolon and colon:
Any stenographer who can take me
at my best gait in a speech can earn
100000 a year as a reporter.

This is the pay of stenographers VINO

There is no reason why anybody
in Kansas should be ignorant. Cheap
books give the poor the same -prfvi-
lege as the rich in securing know
ledge. But, the student who persists
in reading trash, will be damned as
a business man or a business woman.
You have got to take hold of things
that are tangible and in earnest, In

There is no excellence that labor

anybody. No one has any sympathy
for me-"

husband she said, will have to hunt
