An Inspiration

A visit to the penmanship classes
of Prof. F. J. Stanley at Baton Rouge
Business College is an inspiration.
Probably few are aware of the fact
that between 1870 and 40 pupils are
here daily practicing under the dlrec-
ton of one of Americas most success
full teachers of penmanship. The rap
i'd growth of the department during
the few months OF Mr.. Stanley1s en-
gagement, is evidence, however, that
many appreciate the advantages to De
gained by attending the courses IN our
own Baton Rouge Business College.
Many excellent specimens of rapid,
legible business writing are exhibited,
but the following pupils merit especial
mention for practically expert work.
Miss Hersilie Gre,
