parent if you did not wish to give
your boy or girl the best educational
advantages that are in your power, a
very thoughtless parent if you sent him
to the first school that mailed you a
catalogue, and an objectionable parent
if you entered him in a school without
first INVESTIGATING its location, SANTA
ton, equipment, character of student
body, faculty, system of discipline,
and above all, the moral surroundings.
Yours is the duty of investigation,
comparison ard ultimate decision.
You acknowledge the hearsay
the "One school is just as good as
another" it all depends upon the boy
or girl" If you rest your decision
on that, you may later on have bitter
occasion to regret your indolent and
indifferent attitude. Your boy or girl
is the hope of your life. In him or
her is conferred your most chrished
ambitions. On him or her rests your
future happipesS, your joyful right
TO live, or your sorrow Or your will
ingness to die. His or her worth to
you cannot be measured by dollars and
cents, but his or her value must be
measured by the training which he
receives in ZONE and in school. # the
local sch1 were an deal place for
your boy or girl, you wouldn't think
about sending him away from home.
Under present conditions, they doubt
less need more self-r"liance, because
they lack the power of initiative, are
wanting in breadth the scope of vision,
haven't learned how to study, can't
make for themselves, and are ignor-
ant of the fine art Of q business ca
reer. If so, their education should be
continued in a school where discipline
really means something, where per-
sonal observation by the faculty is
constant, where our service is rem
dered above everything else, and
where manly and womanly character
and conduct are held paramount to
all other considerations.
Our school offers many advantages
that no other commercial school can
afford. Its location, excellency of
environments, its student body is
made up from the best homes of the
country, its faculty is second to none,
its discipline is the outgrowth of long
experience, tempered to conserve in
dividual needs, just, sane and firm
One or two hundred dollars spent on
your boy or girl now may mean an un-
bounded success for their future life
There is time in every young per-
sons life for them to consider an edu,
cation, and if that time goes by, un.
needed by the parents, and they fail
in the future, you are, in a measure
responsible for that failure. On the
other hand, if you encourage the seed
thought Of an education when your
son and daughter is interested, il
may mean the turning point in theil
lives, and will cause you much JOY
and happiness in the future. One Oh
two hundred dollars spent on then
is one Of the best business investments
you ever made. 1t will pay greater
dividends in their future than any
thing else you could bestow upor
them.
