Boyd School Places
5000 Pupils in Year

when a student of the Boyd
School is not sent on a position.
The student when contemplating
the business school he wishes to
attend must take into considera-
ton the education received and
the adaptability of that learning
to the business world Going to
school an indefinite number of
months does not mean efficiency.
The Royu School specializes in
individual and small class instruc.
ton and it is a known fact that
one hour of private instruction is
worth 20 hours of large class in
struction.
The Boyd system of shorthand
is featured in the Boyd School.
This system has three rules-no
shading. no position and no word
signs. The Boyd system is easily
written, easily learned, and is
complete in every detail. 1t has
been taught and used in Wash

is no type of work where stenog.

Benjamin Franklin once said
that "An Investment in educa.
ton pays the best interests
Mr.. Franklin should know for
he travelled the road Of adyersitv
as well as that of prosperity.
There are so many kinds of
training or vocations one may
pursue that it is difficult some
times to decide. Que sure thing
is that for immediate emrloy,
ment the business field offers
the sur.st road. One of the first
questions asked in applying for
position generally is, care you
a stenographer or secretary?"
The Boyd Employment Service,
which is conducted by the Boyd
School for Secretaries, has placed
during 1927 over 5000 people in
office positions.
Efficiency is the standard OF
business toGay. The system Of
shorthand or the school one has
attended is generally of little con-
Germ to the business man. The
BOYD School offers a course of
instruction which takes approx
mately three months for a steno-
graphic course, and six months
for a secretarial course. The
large number of Boyd successful
graduates who have entered the
business world in the past few
months is positive proof of the
value of these courses.
The Boyd School is entering
upon its seventh successful year

NV only complaint against their use

GREETED that some general inrorTnar

the time hr~assieres were first placed
on the market.
Hundreds OF girls and rome have
ruined their figures through wearing
a. size thirty-f0ur brassiere when
their bust measurement was thirty

lies. This tight binding down OF the
breasts gradually breaks down the
tissues and muscles. causing the
bust TO sag. Frequently this break

should serve as a warning.
TO improve the appearance or the
figure u brassiere should ftr snuEiy

these two points the bust will be
held firmly in place without injury
