WIS case or tho economic Nul-
Niyal of tho fittcst. for the compc-
uuon was something ficrco, SO
bread and butter and shoe strings
claimed his attention to tho neglect
OF the latest steps and he began TO
look about him for some place
wherein he might develop whatever
latent talents hc might possess and
thereby lncrcHso his selling" points
tp the ultimate benefit OF himself
and the business world.
Tho night schools OF Tulsa are tho
pulse that Indicate this change. AZ
the Tulsa business college. for i'm
stance, there has been q night school
cnrolimcut this year that is better
than normal. r.. \. GWisc. head of
the school, says that tho average
man attending night school is tn
his twontios. This age doesn't vary
much, Tho night-school man is "a
littl older than the day-school man.
Hc Is employed during tho day and
be is making use OF the opportunity
ot night school by perfccting him
self along the line i'm which no a.
working, or some cthcr that no likes
better. There arc n number OF vo-
catlonal or government students In
tho Tulsa business college night
school p1d these men vary In age
from 20 TO 80 years.
Most students Men.
Another interesting phase Of the
Tulsa Business college night school
that be the result OF the existing COM
ditipns IS that go per cent OF the
students are men. This Is an un-
usual state OF affairs. Guisc stated

piers. They are with tho larger
oil companies and corporations. But
they require stonOgraphers OF ex-
pert ability and sometimes mean
combination positions and Il is but
few men who have the training and
ability 20 take those Jobs"
So the man stcuographcr who is
months or years ago could hold
his position with ease and with lots
OF time TO dance and day dream
about what he was going TO do some
day IS rudCly awakened by the
nonc-too-gentlo sitting process that
dropped him on Main street sans
Job and sans prospects, and the net
result Is that ho digs in to equip
himself no that he can grow up with
the Job.
Not only Is there an increase In
enrolment at the knights OF Column
bus night school this year, but there
Is stcadior attendance as woll.
