PROUD OF YEARS WORK
STRAYER'S BUSINESS COLLEGE
SETS NEW MARX.
Students Number More Than 700.
Office Practice Course Proves
Popular.

Strayer's Business College is especially
proud Of its years work. which has just
closed. The enrolment has been greater
than that OF any other year in the history
OF the school. the number having reached
more than 200 students.
The course which has been most popu-
lar Is the combined or bookkeeping course,
including shorthand and typewriting The
school has long since recognized the fact
that business men, as rule, prefer ste
nographers who have knowledge OF ac-
counts and has accordingly recommended
the combined course to those who are de-
sirous of equipping themselves for the
highest grade positions. The records
show that more students have taken the
combined course within the past year
than any year preceding.
The civil service courses have also
proved 10 be I'm great demand. One
teacher. who has made special study OF
the civil service requirements. has de-
voted most of his time TO this branch OF
the work In the future this department
will be given special attention.
Students Like New Course.
The new course in Office practice has
proved TO be one Of the most valuable ad-
who wish to become efficient stenogra-
piers and able office assistants This de-
partment, though new has demonstrated
its usefulness by the fact that nearly half
OF the students passed through this work
before attempting positions in business
omces. In the future this department will
be strengthened and all the latest meth
ods and devices of up-to-date Offices in
