COLUMBIA BUSINESS
COLLEGE OPENS


opens this week with prospects for
a largely increased attendance. The
total attendance last year was one
hundred ninety -o1e. This year, it
viii probably reach two hundred fifty.
The rapid growth of Columbia
makes it easy to place the graduates
of the Columbia Business College in
good positions here, TO say nothing of
the ease with which they get posi-
tons in Kansas City, ST. Louis and
other cities.
Every graduate of the Columbia
Business College, and many who did
not graduate, have good paying posi-
tioIs. and the school has no one to
supply the numerous calls for stenog-
raphers and bookkeepers which are
coming in every day.
Three former students Of the school
are in the Exchange National Bank,
two n the Doone County Trust Com
pany, two in the Boone County Ma
tional Bank, and one in the Celtrab
Bank. The Hamilton-Brown Shoe
Company are using six in their Of
fees, a large number are employed
in the University, and there is hardly
a store or Office of Importance in Col
umbia but has one or more graduates
or former students of the school in
its employ.
How many OF thu young men and
yong women of Columbia and vicinity
are going to take advantage at once
Of the splendid opportunities offered
by this school?

Complaints Made
One of the charges made against the
board Of trustees is that no provisions
were made for roads, water supply, the
preservation of arroyas and other nat
ural sources of water and building ma
terlal supplies within the grant; that
the land was sold Internationally and
IN unrestricted quantities. In answer
10 TINS the trustees cite the example
or the rebuilding of the east dyke to
prevent flood waters from OVERLOOKING
the lands, which was done upon the pc
.ntion Of 81 prominent citizens at an
expense of $1,000. Other things which
have been done by the board are the
placing of cement walks around the Las
