ed success. He has a way of keeping
a laugh going about all the time, even
while he is ladling out stuff with the
thought to 1t. He isn't word painter,
and he doesn't pose as a humorist.
Some one has called him a verbal car
toonist," and that probably expresses
it as well as anything. He talks
on community development, the great
thought that is gripping the country
today. Farmers and business men es-
pecially ought to hear him, although It
must not be imagined that he is going
to deal in dry, tedious technicalities.
Not a bit of it That isn't Miller's
way of reaching the minds of the peo-
pie. He Is entertaining from the min
ute he appears on the platform until
the last word Is spoken.
But the point is that his lecture is
along lines entirely different from any
thing else that will be heard here or
probably has ever been heard here.
His lecture Farming and Being
EARNED" is a thoroughly comprehen-
sive discussion of the most serious crop
failure In the world. when I am Old
Bill" discusses the building Of men and
women for the future.

IN EDUCATION.

The Bryant & Stratton Commercial
School, 1874 Boylston Street, Boston, ono
of the best known institutions in the
United States for the training of business
men and women, re-opened September 9Th.
The location of the school is advanta-
geous 1t is in one of the most important
centers, bounded by Arlington, Boylston
and Providence Streets, easily accessible
from the distant parts of the city and the
suburban districts.
Particular attention has been given to
the conditions under which the students
have to work. The building was con-
structed especially for the school. There
is excellent light from high and wide
windows and plenty of fresh air in constant
circulation throughout all the rooms.
The school occupies the entire building
with the exception of the street floor.
The Bryant & Stratton teaching plan
has become famous. 1t is an individual
system, based upon the personal require
ments Of the pupil, and tends to develop
his or her ability to the highest point of
efficiency. A combination OF study and
practice enables the graduate to accom-
plish difficult practical work Immediately
upon entrance into the business world.
The School not only fits for general BUSH
ness but offers other courses equally strong,
fitting for private secretarial and steno-
graphic positions, the civil service, and
the teaching of commercial branches in
high schools.
There is an amending demand from high
grade business houses for Bryant q STRAIT
ton graduates. Today they are demon
strating their ability in every part of the
world.
The Bryant & Stratton School should
not be confused with so-called business
colleges. The sessions are similar to those
of strictly academic institution-from 8
until 2 daily, with no attendance on Sat
urdays, evenings, or during the summer
season.
The strongest evidence of the high char
acter of this institution is the fact that all
it's patronage comes unsolicited. No can
wasting or other methods in common prac-
tice are used to obtain students.
