Required

We are often asked how
long it will take to com
plete a certain course.
This is a question that
cannot be definitely an
swered. Generally speak
ing, either our CONNER
cial OF shorthand course
can be completed in six
months. Superior ability,
studiousness, previous ed
ucation and aptness in
learning, are all factors
which determine the
length of time needed to
finish a course. Our
courses are as short as
they can be made, consist
ent with. thoroughness
and completeness. Our
plan of individual instruc-
ton places the time Of fin
ishing very largely at the
option of the student.
Many bright young men
and women have kept
themselves from good po-
sitions by taking a short
course in a cheap school
and going to work for ex-
perience of a few dollars a
week, when a six months
course or a years course
in our school would have
enabled them to make
thorough preparation. and
command EaWetter position
and a salaag in keeping
with the allpa'ior ability.
