TYLER COMMERCIAL COLLEGE.
CLOSES A SUCCESSFUL YEAR

The Tyler Commercial College, of |
Tyler, Texas, enjoyed the biggest en-
rollment of their history in 1920. All
previous records were broken by the
total enrolment of four thousand four
hundred and eighty three: the larg-
est annual enrolment Of any Ameri-
can business college, BY the end Of
5his year, they intend to beat that rec
ord. Last month, the total enrolment
was ahead of the same period the
previous year. The wide-awake, pro-
gressive young people Of the South
west have been coming to this insti-
tuition by the hundreds all thru the
year.
There is reason fer the big bust
ness enjoyed by this School, the fact
that since the beginning Of the school,
they have always been ready to ex-
tend a helping hand to their students
or graduates. This policy has won the
friendship and goodwill of their for
mer students and caused them to send
relatives and friends to Tyler, know
ing that they will receive the most
thorough business training to be had
in the shortest time and at the least
3 cost
An example of their policy Of help
fitness is the maintenance Of thu
Students Loan Fund. Any ambitious
Young person who wants a business
training but hasn't sufficient funds cal
secure financial assistance with whicl
y to get a business course through thi
Students Loan Fund, paying it bac
after he has finished his course and ha
taken a position, which the College WI
secure for him. This makes 1t poss
BILE for every young man or woma
who is really sincerely anxious to g
st an education and make a start in tt
C. world to do so.
ne The College also maintains Ser

Today men of many nations are sit
ting down together in IN attempt to
right the world. Millions Of the
earth's people are watching the pro-
ceedings and hoping for relief from in
tolerable burdens. The administra-
tion is asking for the support of all
Americans for the endeavor which 1t
initiated. The United States already
has promised, If the others agree to
follow suit, to scrap many warships.
This is the time Of the beginning Of
what not at all lightly may be called
Showdown" on war and on sarma,
rnents. Every conferee plenipoten.
tlary knows that the people Of his
country want success to come out Of
the labor that has just started in this
Capital city. r.
1t will not be long before the Amer.
lean people, watching the progress OF
the conference, will be able to deter.
mine whether the rulers and the diplo.
mats and the "professionap officials of
the countries Of the world desire sue
cess, or hope that the old order which
gave to them the opportunity, but not
the right, to shape national destinies
shall prevail.
In articles which have attempted to
give the Washington view Of the vari'
Gus contending elements which enter
into the work in hand, the extreme
pacifists, the billiards who won't un'
derstand, and the militarists all have
been described after their kind.
Washington believes today that some
OF the opponents Of success will try to
influence the conferees this way or
that way and will resort to all kinds
Of technical and delaying lodges.

fathers and mothers who, not realizing
that the government made absolutely

Elsa started for the garage. She

not find him about the place Instead,
there was n most pleasant-faced young

said:
