This university, which is reputed

organization in the world, IL playing
q very important part in the edu'
cational field here In Washington
and is receiving the hearty support
OF business concerns who appre-
ciate the difference between q

LaSalIe Extension University
number among its student BODY
here hundreds Of government clerks
who either recognize the possibility
for reward In the Government oe-
partments for better service ] n
dered or who are preparing for po.
eitions on the outside. LaSalle
points to many instances right here
In Washington where their students
have made remarkable advancement
a. a result OF their training.
They state that this Is made pos.
sible through the application OI
their problem method OF instruction
which gives the student actual prac-
teal experience in the business
field for which they are preparing.
These problems. around which the
whole training IL built; are prog,
lens which have actually happened
IN business and must be handled
I'm the same manner az II the
student were In a position In busi-
ness where he would have the same
problems to face and solve.
This method of instruction Is
removed far from the field Of mere
theory and is made pointed and
practical in every way. One OF the
important reasons why LaSalle
courses give practical, rapid and
thorough training In the business
field which they cover. In because
their instructors have been selected
from practical men who have been
trained in business and professional
life. men who have achieved sue
cess and know how to train others
for the same end.
Every LaSaIle instructor IL q
combination Of business man and
teacher. He has spent years Of
actual experience In the business
field and in addition he has so
trained himself in modern adult
educational methods that he is able
to render the best personal help
to the student. Ae helps the
student over any hard parts OF the
the training, shows him how to-
strengthen his weak points and how
to cash in on his strong ones and
stands sincerely ready to help In
every way he can.
The texts used in LaSaIle train.
ing are prepared by business men
and actual business life in con-
densed form IL presented In a way
the student can easily understand
and digest.
The outstanding feature of those
that the principle underlying the
problems discussed and explained
are named and set out In bold
type. Another important feature
claimed for the training is the
comprehensive consultation service
rendered the student. Through this
service, emergency situations are
promptly handled money saved,
law suits avoided. production in.
creased, cost reduced, business Sc
cured and advancement made to
bigger positions. LaSalle Extension
University claims to be able to
rive such service because there is
hardly q business problem which
has not already been partially or
fully worked out. Such service is
made quickly available through the
extensive system Of files and card
indexes.
LaSaIle Extension University
maintains local offices here in
Washington to render expert ad.
vice and counsel, vocational guild
