COLUMBIA SCHOOL OF
DRAFTING ENLARGES
SCOPE OF WORK
Big Demand for Courses
Develops.
Practical Value Of Training Demon
strated-Book on Lettering
Published.

The Columbia School of Drafting is
just launching into its sixth year with a
bigger demand than ever for the courses
Of training which they offer. The de-
mand for the graduates Of the school is
demonstrated by the fact that they are
called upon regularly and often to sup
ply craftsmen for positions paying ex-
cellent salaries. Not only have they
been supplying craftsmen for positions
In this city, but they have recently rIl-
ed positions in New York, Philadelphia,
Pittsburgh and other manufacturing
centers.
The school announces the following
enlarged list of courses: Mechanical
drafting, architectural drafting. struct-
ural drafting. Topographic drafting, pat
ent drafting, ship drafting, marine en-
CINE drafting. structural. architectural
and machine design. mathematics, pat
ent specifications. estimating. lettering
blue print reading.
The Columbia School has Just publish
ed a book entitled STANDARD Lettering. {"
which is a scientific treatise on the
standard styles of lettering, including
the government standards as used in
Topographic drafting. The author of the
book is Roy c. Claflin, president of the
school, There is no such book on the
market as It deals with the actual for
nation and proportion of each indivld-
ual letter and gives simple methods Of
laying them out The demand for such
book has been universal, and it nils a
long-felt want
Among the new courses added to the
curriculum are ship drafting and marine
engine drafting. which the school is Of
fering in response to many requests for
these courses. The unusual demand for
these courses is the result apparently of
the fact that 1t is impossible for the
government as well as Private ship
building firms to secure half enough
trained persons for this work The large
naval construction program Just pro-
vided for by Congress will call for even
greater supply OF ship and marine
craftsmen and designers

of the shorthand system which. as
vouched for by the National Shorthand
Reporters Association (under whose au-
thority all bona fde contests are held,
has won more international contests for
speed and accuracy than all other sys-
TENS combined. Mr.. Buriey is also
certified specialist In bookkeeping and
accountancy. The system of bookkeep-
ing taught by the Washington Business
and Civil Service School is taught in al
most every great university in the Unit
ed States. 1t has received unsolicited en-
dorsement from such great men as Hem
ry R. NJ Cook, late State Examiner,
University Of the State OF New York,
and at the present time auditor of the
board of education OF New York; and
from Cooper. Breaker. and other ac-
countants of international reputation.
Mr.. Burley has also had a wide practi-
cal experience as a reporter and is re-
cognized as an expert in this field. His
work as an educator has been unusually
successful and his experience in teach
ing every subject in the business col
lege curriculum has made him specially
valuable in business college work.
The principal OF the school, Mr.. w. c.
Poteet, has been engaged in business
and civil service work in this city for the
past twelve years, and has an extensive
acquaintance among business men. He
has been instrumental in preparing no
less than 10000 students for various pos
itions in commercial lines and in the
Government service. BY reason of his
extensive acquaintance among the bust
ness men of the city. Mr.. Poteet has
charge of the employment department
of the school, and takes a personal
pleasure in bringing the qualified stud
ent and the would-be employer into per-
sonal contact During the past year the
calls upon this department have been
at least fve times as great as II has
been able to meet. The department is
carried on by an unique method, and
this enables the school to have the choic-
est OF positions and requires that they
have the very best OF training for the
student, in order that they may salts
factorily fill the position for which re-
QUESTION is made.
The regular fall term OF the Wash
ington Business and Civil Service School
begins on Monday, Sept. II. They have
already boxed a large enrolment. Those
who wish to enter at the beginning of
the term would do well to make appH-
cation at once.

The Lake School of Shorthand and

Under this plan no student Is graduated
