The Smithdeal Business College believes
that every boy, like Lincoln, has foundation of
brains upon which to build formidable intel
lectuality. Only the desire, the awakened de-
sire of the Lincoln variety, is lacking. It's
there but dormant
To awaken tito bring it into full ma
turity-is the prime object of schooling. In this
respect is where the present-day methods have
failed. Pupils, not fully realizing what learn
ing means, skip over books, retaining the
knowledge impaired only long enough to pass
the inevitable tests. Teachers, too, seem to lack
comprehension in this respect.
AS a result modern methods as practiced in
the schools with many pupils, are failure.
Men and women with college educations, or
rather college diplomas, misspell simple words,
scribble instead of write. butcher the mother
tongue and go through life in mediocre way,
making a success of nothing and failing in most
things undertaken.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1915-07-18

Lincoln had burning thirst for knowledge. He was
Of that type that knew no limitations Nothing to
schooling was NIL but that did not deter him from
becoming master mind
With Bible and copy of Shakespeare he mastered the English
language probably other has done In front OF the
fireplace the back of shovel he figured and wrote with cared
pieces of wood Under almost unbelievable he

They are never taught to apply themselves.
They never mastered the Lincoln desire for
guiring learning.
At this school there is new idea at work
one in which the boy is taught to study and to
master what he studies. That's his first lesson
Until he understands that he does not make
much progress Afterwards, however, he FORCES
ahead.
He realizes what it means to pit his brains
against the brains of another. He enters into
the game with VIM and wins. Like Lincoln,
he masters difficulties seemingly impossible.
If your boy is about to enter school, or if he
is now going to school and for some reason is
not making the progress he should, consider the
statements in this ad. When we say we have
school entirely different from the rest, school
which really teaches-and a school without a
failure--it should command your attention. 1t
should prompt You, if you are interested in CIV
ing your boy the best, to at least look into it.
