Prominent Business Men -have had the following to say concerning their office assistants trained by methods


 All the writers of the system taught by us qualified, ten of the writers of other systems failed to do so on account of not being able to read their notes accur- ately.
 The winner of the first, place. writing the system taught by the Norwich Commercial School. exceeded the best previous re- cord on solid non-court matter made in the Miner Medal Con- tests by twenty three words per minute.
 Another writer of the system taught by us, a boy of seven / teen, now personal stenographer to President Wilson, won second place and exceeded by fifteen words per minute the best previous record on solid matter made in the Miner Medal Con- tests.
 The writer of the system taught by this school, won third place. a girl of seventeen-made the highest accuracy record ever established. up to the time : of the contest, on solid non- legal matter. It was this re- cord that led to the offering of the Adams Trophy.
 Briefly above illustrates what has been done by writers of the system taught by the Norwich Commercial School

German Pathologist, to

BERLIN, Sept. 26.-The German
biologists who have been expert
enting with radium in the treat
aent of cancer have discovered a
substitute for radium which contains
all of the radio active elements neces-

growths and yet is far cheaper than

Professor Hahn. the diseoverer. has
named the new element mesothorium.
While 1t is considered to be much
more plentiful than radium and easier
to obtain, it has not as yet been pro-
duced in such quantities as to bring
the price down to reasonable fig-

The German scientists who have
been observing the treatment of the
cancer patients at the various hos

of mesothorium has worked COM
