This institution has at it's head a
thoroughly experienced business man
he has not only had twenay years ex-
perience in handling commercial
schools, but has had much valuable
business experience in other lines
and is today identified with a number
Of Texas greatest enterprises. Our
people realize that a thorough bust
ness training from one who
possesses business ability and BUSH
ness experience. This is proven by
the fact that this institution is the
largest school of Bookkeeping Bust
ness Training, Shorthand, Typewrit-
and Telegraphy in America. They
use their own specially prepared
text books in almost every depart
ment, text books prepared from the
standpoint Of what the business
world demands, rather than that of
the theoretical school room. Some
merchants are able to do twice the
business of others, with the same
invested. This is due to the
difference of the methods of the two
men. The same is true of business
colleges; the reason that one secures
a larger patronage, gives a more
thorough training, places more of it's
graduates into high salaried DO
sitions is because of it's superior
methods.

JUS before breaking camp at Atlanta,
when he signed Birdie" Cree for the
season Of 1912. Manager and player
came to terms after being clOseted
most Of the morning.
The announcement Of Cree's eligibil-
ity proved a better tonic 10 every mem
Der OF the party than a good workout
on a hot morning. The situation had
been far more serious than those on the

counsel, but the players were in on
the fact that he was prepared to desert
the diamond rather than accept the

The possibility Of Cree's loss was
bound TO affect the spirit Of the whole
club. The athletes realized that with
out the heavy execution Of his big fat
bats a pennant was beyond the widest
dreams of optimism. and strange as II
may seem to a club that finished away
