Opening Of Summer Term at
Oberlin Business College.

The Summer Term at the Oberlin
Business College will open June 16,
1919. Over so positions have been
filled during the past few weeks and
in addition number of calls were re-
ceived which could not be filled for
lack of graduates. Because of the un-
usual demand for its graduates this
school is making special offer of
500 for the years tuition to all high
school graduates and teachers who
enter by June 16.
President Henderson has spent the
past six weeks addressing over forty
high schools through northern Ohio
upon Human Efficiency" urging up
on all high school pupils the import
ance of finishing the full course. The
school at Oberlin is said to have an
older and better educated class of
students than any other business col
lege in the country which accounts in
part for the demand for it's graduates
to fill business, office, teaching, secre.
tarial and Civil Service positions. Any
of our readers desiring a fine position
could make no mistake by spending a
