Board of Health in closing all the

against Influenza, necessitated also
the closing of the South Georgi

that the Normal Colledge has here

A short time ago we installed a.
remarkable machine in our Account
ing Department machine which
adds and subtracts, tells the date,
keeps our books and gets out monthly
statements. It does all this work
much faster than any bookkeeper
could and has never been known to
make mistake.
The installation Of this Burroughs
Bookkeeping Machine means that
our accounts will be hadled just as
rapidly and accurately as those OF
the largest and most up-to-date
