Ii was a paying investment.
only certificate branches are
taught in Valdez College, and that
is the main reason why students
are prepared in SO short time.
This school teaches, trains, and
grounds the student in the essentials
of life. 1t aims at thorough
mastery of the three RS as well as
all other common branches. These
are the true foundation of an edu-
| cation, because they prepare the
student TO DO in the great profess
sion of business.
Valdez College for q number of
years taught large number of adj
vanced branches. 1t sought to do
advanced work, but like countless
thousands of other schools, it did
not prepare it's students thoroughly
for the daily avocations of life. 1t
was short on examinations and
training in the essentials and long
on the non-essentials, which students
only occasionally use
The educational trend of Valdez
College has changed 1t is now
long on training in the essentials
and short on non-essentials, and the
result is, that Valdez College pre-
pares annually now as many stu
dents for active service and success
as it formerly did in five years.
81 students have been educated
in the business and the shorthand
course and they have entered busi-
ness houses as stenographers and
bookkeepers.
Valdez College has lately INSTALL
