A THOUGHT WORTH

Parents, when you select a school
for your son or daughter or young
men and women depending upon their
own Judgment, should take into con-
sideration the moral surroundings in
which they will be placed when at
tending school. Our large cities are
full of saloons and their accompany
ing evils. The business college lOcat-
ed in these cities cannot control their
students when out of the school room,
therefore, they are left to roam the
streets at will and get into all kinds
! of company. The Tyler Commercial
College is located in the beautiful
and healthy city of Tyler, Texas, a
town of $4,000 inhabitants, with no
saloons or their accompanying evils.
Tyler has often been referred to as
the intellectual center of Texas and is
noted for its splndid citizenship. Our
large crowd of 1000 students annual
ly is controlled with perfect ease, both
while in and out of school. The school
is opened each morning with exercises
that strengthen the moral character
of every student within it's walls. Lee
lures by prominent business men from
various parts of the country upon the
necessity of truthfulness and honesty
in true business education; lectures
by some of Americas greatest orators.
men Of extensive travel and careful
study. These morning exercises are
made interesting, inspiring, and en-
couraging. They cause our student
body to determine to be honest, to be
upright, to be economical and indus
trious, to be ladies and gentlemen who
will make the brightest type of citi-
zenship. A business education with
out the proper moral training is a
failure, yet there is not another bust
ness college in tn state that spends
five minutes on the moral training of
it's students. The moral training Civ
en- by the Tyler Commercial College
has been endorsed by various religious
bodies, by prominent business men
and presidents of railroads; it is the
aim of this institution to see that ev-
cry student leaves morally strength
ened as we'll as with a practical
knowledge of Bookkeeping, Shorthand,
Cotton CHASING, Steno- typewriting,
Business Administration and Finance
and Telegraphy.

!, .Istrated free catalog of the Tyler
Commercial College, Tyler, Texas.
Read it carefully and obtain full par
ticulars. 1t costs no more to place
your son or daughter in Americas
largest and most successful business
college than it does in some small, il
ferior institution, with all the tempta-
tons of the larger cities.

CALL TO HIS PEOPLE
Tells Germans. to Continue
Until Their Right to Ex-
istence is Acknowledged
"PEACE EFFORTS
IN VAIN" HE SAYS

AMSTERDAM, Aug. ain a procla-
nation issued to the German people,
Emperor William says:
-Four years of hard struggle have
passed, full OF eternally memorable
deeds. An example has been given for
all time Of what a people can do that
stands in the field for a most just
cause and for the maintenance OF its
existence.
Gratefully revering the Divine Hand
which has been gracefully extended
over Germany, we may proudly say we
were not found unworthy In the tre-
mondous task before which Providence
placed us.
IT, I'm the struggle our nation was
given leaders capable OF the highest
achievements, it has daily proved by
fidelity that it has deserved to have
such leaders. How could the army
front have performed its tremendous
deeds IL the entire labor at home had
not been carried to the highest meas
ure Of personal performance Thanks
are due 10 all who, under difficult con-
ditions, have cO-Operated in the task
set the State and community, and espe-
cially TO our faithful unwearying OIL
cials. Thanks are due likewise TO the
countrymen and townsmen and also
the women, on whom, In this wartime
so much falls.
"The war year which is opening to-
day viii not spare the German people
further privations and trials. But,
whatever may come, we know that the
hardest lies behind US.
What has been attained in the east
by our arms and safeguarded by peace
treaties, what is being completed in the
west-that gives us the firm certainty
that Germany will issue strong and
vigorous from this storm Of the peoples
which has felled to the ground so
many a mighty race.
ION this day Of remembrance we re-
call with pain all sacrifices which had
to be made for the fatherland.
wide gaps have been torn in our
families, and the suffering Of this ter
rible war has spared no German home.
Those who, as boys In their first en-
thuiasm, saw the first troops depart
stand themselves today beside their
fathers and brothers as warriors at the
front.
Sacred duty commands that every
thing be done that this precious blood
does not flow in vain. Nothing has
been neglected by us 10 restore peace
to the devastated world. The voice OF
humanity however, still finds no hear
ing in the enemy's camp. As often as
we have spoken words Of reconciliation
we have been met with contempt and
hatred. The enemy does not yet want
peace. Without shame they smirch the
fair name Of Germany with ever-fresh
calumnles. Again and again their
mothpleces declare that Germany musi
be annlhllated
I'VE must. therefore. continue tC
night and TO labor until our enemies are
ready TO acknowledge our right to ex
istence, just as we have VIGOROUSLY
fought for and gained it against theil
overwhelming onslaught.
God is with US.
