Philadelphia, Pa., Jane 14, 1911. Dear Prof. Musselman : Some time ago you very kindly recommended me to a position in the Cherokee (la.) High School. I have just received a letter from the principal, Mr. L. H. Mans, stating- that I have been elected to take charge of the commercial work. A number of other positions were open to me, but I feel that this one was the best. I find that as my experience with business schools increases, the Gem City Business College has a national reputation not enjoyed by any other business college. It is a pleasure for a Gem City student to use his influence in directing others to the institution that lias helped so many young people to secure honest remuner- ative employment. A business college, that places its educational ideas high, and then maintains them, is far above the average. Thanking you for your generous assistance, I remain Very truly yours, ■ - ; A. S. GILL.

Dear Professor Musselman : It affords me much pleasure to add my testimonial to the merits of your great -institution. I spent the winter of 1908-1909 in youv school. After completing my course I took a position in Peoria at an advance of $25 a month above what I had received before. This speaks well for the profitable side of the school, and as for the pleasurable side I can say that I never enjoyed a winter more than I did the one spent in Quincy. I can heartily endorse the thoroughness of your school, the efficiency of the instructors, and the splendid moral atmosphere which surrounds the student in your school. May a continued and an enlarged school be your portion. - Respectfully, H. E. SPANGL3R Mr. E. W.
