: The recent years work at Valde
College has never been equaled hereto
, fore by that institution.
100 students have been prepared 70
; active service.
as of these were prepared for teach
ers' certificates. Average time, i
weeks; cost of tuition, $l5.73. Thes,
, student-teachers Immediately obtained
schools from 3 to months duration
and salaries ranging from $50 to $40 :
month were paid them.
1t was paying investment.
Only certificate branches are taught
in Valdez College, and that is the mar
reason why students are prepared in sc
short time.
This school teaches, trains anc
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 education. because
they prepare the student TO DO in the
great profession of business.
Valdez College for number of years
taught a large number of advanced
branches. 1t sought to do advanced
work, but like countless thousands of
other schools, it did not prepare its
students thoroughly for the daily avoca-
tions of life. 1t was short on examina-
tions and training in the essentials and
long on the non-essentials which stu
dents only occasionally use.
The educational trend of Valdez Col
lege has changed. 1t is now long on
training in the essentials and short on
non-essentials, and the result is, that
Valdez College prepares annually now
as many students for active service
and success as it formerly did in five
years.
54 students have been educated in
the business and the shorthand course
and they have entered business houses
as stenographers and bookkeepers.
Valdez College has lately installed
ten new typewriting machines, Bur-
rough's Adding Machine, Mimeograph
and Letter Presses. 1t has every
equipment and appliance to be found in
the largest business colleges in the land
and it teaches all subjects taught in
standard business schools; and more, it
maintains Normal School where the
backward student may have an oppor-
tunity to become proficient in the rudi-
mentary branches before pursuing the
business or the shorthand course.
On April lst, new system OF book
keeping, embracing complete change
in the theory and the Office practice de-
partment, was introduced. 1t embraces
the latest and most approved forms
and methods in modern accounting,
business and Office practice.
A great revival for the benefit of the
teacher in the common schools and for
stenographers and bookkeepers will
begin Aug. %, at Valdez College.
