The Washington Business College,
1921 G street northwest, is busily
enrolling students for the fall term.
This institution has not advanced its
rates during the war period nor
since, and the announcement of an
increase in rates to take effect the
first of October has caused a rush
for enrolment in order to begin be-

effect.
The proprietors. Messrs. Poteet &
Whitmore, report that although this
school is open all the year round
and enrolled about 1000 students in
the past year it has been impossible
for their employment department to
meet the demand for efficiently
trained help.
