which of these two colleges Is the better
Please let me know your opinion on this mat
ter soon possible. MISS r.. Z,
I cannot answer a question OF this
kind as one of these business colleges is
quite as good as the other. The only
preference you could make would be in
the kind of a course you want to take,
as one college may offer better advan-
tages than the other in some special
study that you want to take up but you
will have to Judge that for yourself. Do
you know any one who has attended
either of the schools? In that way you
can get a good idea of what they are
like and can make your choice between
them.
