twe1ty-ninth year next Friday
June /. The constant aim has been
to prepare young men and women
for the practical side of life. Its
courses of study have been revised
from year to year to conform to the
standards of efficiency and actual re-
quiremeIts in an age when ildivi-
dual preparedness is becoming more
and more fixed factor for real Sue
cess.
Valdez College, for many years
has emphasized the Importance of
individual preparedness for train
ing in the practical things Of life.
This has been the ground work of
the institution, and this policy has
brought nearly 1900 students to
Decorah to be trained at Valdez Co..
lege.
The success of this institution has
been marked. Its graduates are in
demand by business men, because
they are trained in the fundamentals,
trained in special requirements. In
short, it's students are taught and
trained to do what the business
world places before them to do.
An institution that trains its stu
dents for actual service that provides
its patrons with sufficient equipment
to go out into the world where the
results of an education are tried and
tested in the scale of efficiency-such
an institution deserves success, be-
cause it measures UP to the require
ment of a high standard Of practical
education When students complete
a course at Valdez College, they are
prepared, to go out into the world and
do something for themselves without
further preparation.
The present war has, and will
bring many changes and vacancies in
office positions. These positions
must be filled. Business men must
have office help, therefore, bright
and intelligent young men and wo-
men now have unusual opportuni-
ties for advancement. This is e5-
pecially true of ycung ladies, be-
cause thousands of young men who
are now in Offices will be called to
the firing line, and business houses
must rely in large measure on
young ladies to fill the positions va
Gated
Office help can be amply prepared
in from six months to one year.
Young people should embrace the
present opportunities to fill a good
position.
The year just closing for this well
known educational institution has
been very successful one. Valdez
College has been success since the
day it opened here twenty-nine years
ago, and all over the length and
breadth of this land successful young
men and women are holding excel
lent positions and conducting enter
prises of their own, who got their
