 Machine to Instruct Students.

A real mechanical marvel is the new bookkeeping machine that has just been installed at the James Business college. The machine is Q Burroughs adding g-substracting mod el such as is now in use in thousands of banks throughout the country. It will be used for purposes of instruction at the school, and will add greatly to it's equipment for turning out trained students. .-
 One should see this Burroughs in operation fully to appreciate what q wonderful thing it is. 1t automati- cally prints dates, substracts checks, adds deposits and computes new ball. carriage across the ledger sheet, and with a speed that seems incredible That is to say, the machine not only posts figures to the ledger sheet, but computes balances automatically as the posting is done.
 The James Business college feels that an institution of its kind shoul1 ] keep abreast of the times and make the work of it's students as practical as possible by familiar.zing them with appliances that are found in modern banks and business offices. It was with this thought in mind that g Burroughs bookkeeping machine was installed. Students will be taugh, how to use this machine in various kinds of work and this experience will stand them in good stead when they seek positions as bookleepers.
