parent if you did not wish TO
give your boy or girl the best
| educational advantages that are
in your power, very thoughtless
parent if you sent him to the
first school that mailed you q
catalogue, and an objectionable
parent if you entered him in u
school without first investigating
its location, sanitation, equip
ment, character of student body,
faculty, system of discipline, and
above all, the moral surround
ings. Yours is the duty of in
yestigation, comparison and III
innate decision.
You acknowledge the hcarsay
that "One school is just as good
as another" " 1T all depends up
on the boy or girl. If you rest
your decision on that, you may
later on have bitter occasion to
regret your indolent and indif-
ferent attitude. Your boy or
girl is the hope of your life. In
him or her is centered your
most Cherished ambitions On
him or her rests your future
happiness, 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 h e receives i n
home and in school. If the local
school were an ideal place for
your boy or girl, you wouldn t
think about sending him away
from home. Under present con-
ditions, they doubtless need more
self reliance, because they lack
the power of initiative, are want
ing in breadth the scope of Wis
ion. haven't learned how to study,
can't make for themselves, and
are ignorant of the fine art of Il
business career, If SO, their ed
ucation should be continued in II
school where discipline really
means something, where person
al supervision by the faculty is
constant, whereour service is rem
dered above everything else, and
where manly and womanly char
acter and conduct are held para
mount to all other considerations.
Our school offers many advan-
tages 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,
the faculty is second to none, its
discipline is the outgrowth of
long experience, tempered to
conserve individual needs, inst,
sane and firm. One or two hun
dred dollars spent on your boy
or girl now may mean an un-
bounded success for their future
life. There is a time in every
young persons life for them to
consider an education, and if that
time goes by, unheeded by the
parents, and they fail in the fu-
ture, YOU are, in measure, re-
sponsiblc for that failure. On the
other hand, if you encourage the
seed thought Of an education
hen your son or daughter IS in
terestcd, it may mean the turn
ing point in their lives, and will
cause you much joy and happi-
ness in the future. One or two
hundred dollars spent on them
is one Cf the best business in
vestments you ever made. Ii will
pay greater dividends in their fu-
ture than anything else you could
bestow upon them. Our 22o page
