There is a nation-wide movement on among practical educators to emphasize the following program in education: First, graduation from high school. Next, business training. Then, college or university. Expericnce proves that the high school grad- uate who first has the advantage of intensive work of the private business school makes a bet- 'ter college or university student than does the graduate directly from high school. A business education before college means financial independence in case the college course, for any reason, breaks down. A college graduate who has previously had a course in the business subjects can often use his business course in getting started on the vocation for which he prepared in college. Business has become a factor in every vocation of every kind. It is inescapable. Making a liv- ing involves a knowledge of business---making more than a living involves a larger knowledge of business making a fortune is possible only to those who have a superior knowledge of busi- ness. Finally, it is everywhere recognized that train- ing in business doubles the value of a general, or a professional, education, "IF I wanted to succeed in any line I would get the advice of the most successful men in that line. If I chose to be a tramp, I would go to the most successful tramp. If I wanted to make my mark in the world, I would take the advice of the world's leaders." 4 I O C 1 if What the World's Leaders Tell YOU! ANDREW CARNEGIE, Steel King and Philanthropist: I advise young men and women to save the most precious years of their lives hy securing a business education, that they may IIO forth fully equipped early in life. HON. W. T, HARRIS, Ex-Commissioner of Education: Without a thorough and practical commercial education. a business man is like a ship at sea without a compass or a rudder. E. H. HARRIMAN, America's Greatest Railroad Mairnate: I know of no training that costs so little and pays so much as a business collexre course. JOHN WANAMAKER, Founder of America's Greatest Department Store: In these days the young man or woman without business training stands little chance. A great, grand work is being: done by the business colleges. JOHN D. ROCKEFELLER, World's Richest Man: I believe that every young man and woman who wants to succeed in business should do as I didf take n course at a commercial college. JAMES A GARFIELD, Ex-President of the United States: Business colleges furnish a better education for practical purposes than Princeton, Harvard or Yale. THEODORE ROOSEVELT, Ex-President of the- United States: Every girl should have a thorough business training to make her independent of marriage as a means of support. Then she need not marry except in obedience to the dictates of her heart. Business training makes her self-reliant, not a clinging vine, and if she marries she can contribute some strength to the partnership, H0 CGLLEGE PHONE 3-1307 m-mmmmmm-mmm u nn n mmm a mu: u u n an u 1 1 n r us u I 1 a u uns I

Important Tlviz -Y-0-U-R E-D You Have a House to Build. You employ a carpenter to build a house but as time goes by you notice that his work is not well done. You also notice that your house is developing very slowly. You ask the carpenter why he doesn't make more rapid progress and he answers that his tools are dull. You advise him to sharpen his tools but he says that if he stops to do that he will have to stop work on your house. You attempt to show him that he will save time by stopping to sharpen his tools -that he will do his work more competently, more quickly, and with more credit to himself. The argument ends and the carpenter continues to do slovenly work and is inexcusably slow. You may not tell him so, but you conclude that he is extremely foolish. Throughout this country are thousands of young people starting to build houses the life houses in which they will find their pleasures or hear their sorrows. Some of these young folks are building with sharp tools, with mental facul- ties that have been whetted by training and that will cut sharp and true. Other thousands are trying to build with the dullest sort of tools with minds that have not been developed that have not been sharpened to cut into the material out of which lil'e's great house is constructed. Does it require a prophet to tell in advance which of these groups of young people will build the kind of houses that the world will admire' the kind that they themselves will be proud of and the kind in which they can live comfortably and happily? Youthtime is planning time and building time. It comes but once. Neglect it and it is lost for- ever. Neglect it and it caries into after years troubles that may be vexatious and disabling, Youthtime is the time to sharpen mental tools for the great building job that lies ahead, and those of us who have our houses well along to- ward completion can only think as you do of the carpenter who is building your house that the boy or girl who permits anything to crowd out the opportunity to get an education is indeed foolish.
