India's Aluminium Wealth,

India offers a great field for future
supplies of aluminium. There are
great deposits Of laterite and bauxite
from which aluminium is derived 1t
is sai1 that the Indian product could
be placed on the market at figure
hr- little more than half that = the
present quotation. The use OF this
metal is handicapped by the cost at
present. and If the metal could be
secured at lower cost its field Of
usefulness would be greatly expanded
There are many comparatively &C.
cessible points where factories for tn
extraction of aluminium could be /
Gated.

offers three thorough courses of business training the Commercial, the Secretarial and the Normal. The first is a most practical and valuable education for bus iness in general. The second prepares you to beome a stenographer, private secretary or reporter. The third gets you ready to ill position as & teacher of commercial branches in high school. The demand for graduates of either course exceeds the supply. The new Morse Building and it's equipment re- presents an investment of over one-hun- dred thousand dollars. There Is noth- ing, accordingly, that compares with the Morse College in the abundance and richness of its facilities for imparting & complete modern business education. On account of the Morse plan of giving each student individual instruction, new pupils may enter at any time and pursue their course with an equal advantage as if they started at the beginning of term. New students will enter every Monday for weeks to come. Send for large illus trated catalogue or, better still, call and see us at work. It would do you good to observe the enthusiasm and interest displayed by our students in the Morse Building at 4S Ann St., half way between the Depot and Main Street, Hartford.
