Facts and Figures on Young Peoples
Earning Ability.

$50 pays for an unlimited life
scholarship in bookkeeping,
shorthand, telegraphy or bust
ness administration and finance
in our school. $50 will pay for
the board and lodging Of the ay-
erage student while completing
one of these courses. Two Of
these courses combined will cost
800 for life scholarship, The av
erage time for completing two
courses when taken at the same
time is five months, therefore
board and lodging would amount
to about 5000. When one or
more Of these courses is finished
we will place the graduate in a
position where his first two or
three months salary will rein
burse him for all necessary tut
ton and board paid for the
course. The graduate seeing
that he can now earn 50. 90 where
before he could earn but S1.O0
will soon admit that if he he had
to borrow every cent of the mon
ely to pay board and tuition, that
it was the best investment he
ever made.
With the famous Byrne Sim
plitied Shorthand and Practical
Bookkeeping, and our practical
way of teaching Telegraphy and
Railway Station work, we give
the student a more thorough
training in half the time and at
half the usual cost of a course in
other schools teaching other
systemys. This is conclusively
proven by the endorsements in
our catalogue from those who
have attended other schools and
studied other systems. We con
cluslvely prove every statement
we make, and that is why we
have the largest business train
ing school in America Our cat
