institution like this, unless
founded upon honesty and ear
nest intentions, promoted by
business relations and the prepa-
ration of successful young peo-
pie to fill the most responsible
positions in the business world.
These years of hard, earnest,
and honest work, has establish
en- an inviable reputation, and
has won the confidence of bust
ness men throughout the Mis-
sisippi Valley.
The owners, Professors Moot
hart and Kinder, are recognized
as leaders of business education
in the Middle West, and it means
much to everyone to become
identified with such a prominent
and well established business in
stitution.
The Business University has
just opened it's eleventh year
with the largest enrolment in
it's history, and the manage
ment predicts, that within a
few weeks, it will have a still
very greatly increased attend
ance.
The building occupied by this
school is scientifically and COM
modiously arranged, and is I'M
surpassed by any other Business
College in the State. The APP
pointments of the building are
first class, and strictly modern
in every particular, the rooms

Educational Institutions of Pennington

the record of such development
of a large number Of proficient
pupils, the Schubert School
stands as a distinctive education
al asset to the community. Its
work extends far beyond mere
local bounds, while it's presence
here makes it unnecessary for
musicians to go to distant cities
for competent and effective in
struction. The faculty is a fac
ulty of specialists. Each is fit
ted by long training and study
for his or her speciality, and the
work is confined to instruction
in those branches of which each
teacher is a finished and prof.
Gent exemplar as well as in
structor. All pupils, when COM
petent, are given the advantages
of choral work, ensemble work,
orchestra work, and frequent
recitals also help to develop poise
and confidence in playing or
singing before the public. Pu-
pills are received at any stage of
their own advancement, and
courses of study arranged with
careful regard to the individual
needs of the pupil, rather than
by any set system, program or
formula of instruction. This as
sures the most rapid and perma-
nent development of the capa-
bilities of each pupil, with a
broadening of musical percep-
ton and taste leading to finished
musical expression.

THE SCHUBERT SCHOOL
OF MUSIC

Among the educational insti-
buttons of Pennington, the Schu-
bert School of Music occupies a
unique and important position.
1t is an institution begun with
only the faith of known ability
in the future as it's encourage
ment, but with the test of time
proving it a needed and success
full business enterprise.
The Schubert School is just
entering upon the fifth year of
it's work, and is the only institu-
ton in Southeast Missouri de-
voted wholly to the study of mu-
sic in its various branches.
The thing that makes a thing
worthy of note is its faculty.
Without teachers who thorough
ly understand their business, ar
tistically developed, thoroughly
trained in their art, and with
quick sympathy for the needs of
pupils this school could not have
attained it's pre-eminent posi-
position and held it through all
these years.

OZARK BUSINESS
UNIVERSITY
y - " 81

1t is a matter of great salts
faction to the people of South
east Missouri that when they
think of business education,
their mind is naturally directed
to the Ozark Business Univer-
Sity of Pennington. This great
commercial school had its be-
ginning in the organization of
the first Business College in
Southern Missouri at DeSoto al
most twenty years ago; for it
was there that President G. w.
Moothart organized the first
Business Training Institution in
this section, after which on ac-
count Of the ideal location and
superior advantages, he came to
Pennington and established the
Moothart Business College in
this city, from which as nu-
cleus, having competent instruc-
tors, strong courses of study
practical teachers and the con.
fidence of the business men, this
school has grown from a small
beginning to what is today
known as the Ozark Business
University, and recognized as
the greatest training school ir
Southeast Missouri.
Such a school will live anC
grow on its merits, and always
give more than value received tC
its patrons.
Naturally we realize that nc
school could have grown and be,
come a prosperous and thriving

by the State Legislature in 1859.
In 1878 the institution was NOV
ed to Pennington and located on
a beautiful tract of ground with
in the corporate limits of the
city, containing, according to
careful measurements recently
made, a fraction under twenty
acres. In 1885 Miss Carleton
transferred the property to the
st. Louis Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church,
since which time it has been OPP
Grated with the same high ideals
as those which actuated its
founder.
Carleton College is an old
school, but during the last two
or three years it has been born
again and is starting anew, full
of energy and youth. 1t has a
large field and a great opportun-
ity. It's new building is some
thing to be proud of. Its loca-
ton is ideal. Pennington is half
way between st. Louis and the
great, new garden of the South
east. A vast, fertile garden, re-
deemed from the swamp, is rap
idly developing into a new agri-
cultural empire. Carleton Col
lege is located at the nearest
point to the north of this new
country, where regular Health
Resort College Location is to be
found. st. Louis, with it's large
and increasing population, is just
the proper distance form us to
the north. There is a fine strip
of country between Pennington
and the Mississippi River to the
east. To the west lie the Ozarks
in all their glory. A good college
is needed in this great country
and we are laying anew the
foundations for this needed
school on the very spot where it
ought to be.
This college has always done
good work, but its work is i'm
proving. The teaching force is
now at the schools high water
mark. We will certainly keep
the Faculty up to the high stand
ard. Our moral and intellectual
atmosphere must be the best.
Our students must continue to
enter any other college or uni
versity without discount.

cepts the responsibility which
he is asked to assume, at the
head of this old, new school.

EFFICIENT PUBLICITY

The idea is entertained by some of
the older type of merchants that the
good repute OF their firm is spread
from mouth to mouth in conversation.
and that they do not need to adver-
tise in the newspapers
That condition may have prevailed
many years ago when people had no
thing else TO do but gossip about their
neighbors. In those times everyone
discussed all of his home purchases
with all his neighbors.
Today "A man who depends upon
conversation and gossip TO spread the
news of his store, will not find that
his place of business is much frequen-
ted People do not exchange infor-
nation about their domestic habits as
they used 10. You have little idea
whether your neighbors buy their
goods of Smith, Brown, or Jones. The
world is full of wide interests, and
the bargains one may find in certain
store are ordinarily known to those
that find them.
The newspaper is the only efficient
means of acquainting the public with
the business news of the town For
one person that will learn something
about a given store by word OF mouth,
a hundred learn about il through
newspaper notices.
The advertising columns of news
paper are read just as attentively as
any sensation that may appear i'm the
news columns.
The results of the two policies are
obvious. In one case merchant
drags along, with only a small part
OF the community knowing anything
about what is happening in his store.
In the other case, practically every
one knows when that merchant has
special bargains. and what can be
done in his store at any given time.
