Are You Prepared?


Are you prepared? This IA the
question that faces all Of us many
times during out lives. Can We
answer in the affirmative? II not.
it's never too late to begin and you
don't have to go far to start.
The Miller Evening School at
Dubois and Jay is open two nights
a week on Mondays and Wednes-
days to help people OF the commu-
nifty with this question of prepare
tion. They offer courses to suit
people OF various educational
levels.
Their is the elementary school
where instruction is free and grad
es through are given.
A course that should prove po-
pular and beneficial is the COM
bined auto repair and welding
course. Miller has one OF the best
equipped auto shops In the city and
instruction in all phases OF auto
work is available twice weekly for
IL weeks for the small sum OF
$3.50. For those OF us who own
cars, we could save this much and
more in repair bills by learning
how to repair our cars ourselves.
In addition, man with auto me-
chanic experience is ard will be
more in demand In our present in
dustrial life.
The Miller School Is also offer
ing a new course in General Psy-
chology for the man on the street.
In this course ar endeavour will be
made TO find out what makes a hui
man being tick" Why do we do
certain things? How can we get
along better with people? This
course should be especially help
full to those people who In their
normal business OF everyday liv-
ing are thrown in contact with the
public.
These are only a few OF the
things offered by the Miller even
ing school Why not drop over
Monday evening between Z and .
and talk over your problem with
someone on the evening school
staff?
