THE Gem City Business College is non- sectarian but its teachers are religious men and women. They represent sev- eral different church organizations and interest themselves in the moral welfare of the students under their charge. Our students are not required by the college to attend church, but they are recommended to do so. The Y. M. C. A. occupies its own building, and a cordial welcome is extended to the stu- dents of the G. C. B. C. to attend their exer- cises and functions. Many of our students become members of the Y. M. C. A., and thereby secure the benefits of the gymnasium, bath, and other privileges that belong to the organization. The Y. W. C. A. also has a strong organi- zation in the city. All of our lady students are invited to become interested in this asso- ciation and its privileges. Nearly all of the churches of the city have excellent Sunday School classes with which our Students have become identified. Some of the Bible classes in the different churches are conducted by teachers of our school, and a large percentage of our students take advan- tage of these classes. Students of all denomi- nations without regard to church affiliations will find a warm welcome and free seats in all the churches of the city. Practically all of the Protestant denomina- tions are represented — Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, Christian, Congregational, Episco- pal, and Lutheran churches abound. There are also a number of Catholic churches; and a Jewish synagogue. It has been the custom of our churches for several years past to entertain the Gem City Business College students by way of welcom- ing them to our city. The Anthony Hotel Port Wayne, Ind. Professor D. L. Musselman, Quincy, Illinois. Dear Professor: As you will remember I came to Fort Wayne about a year ago to take up a position with Weil Bros., of this city. I worked for them for a time and later secured a better position with the Anthony Hotel. Speaking of Weil Bros., I wish to say that they think very highly of the G. C. B. C. students, and prefer them f j all others. When I informed Mr. Weil, Senior, that I was going to leave their firm, he made the remark that, ' ' When we do bring good stenogra- phers to Fort Wayne, some one else always gets them. ' ' This, I thought, spoke well both for the college and for myself. My work is very pleasant and . I have no difficulty in performing it to tne satisfaction of my employer. I shall always take an interest in your school, and recommend it to my friends. With regards to the faculty and yourself. I am Very truly yours, EDNA HAMMER. THE DIFFERENCE From a financial standpoint no education pays so well as a thorough business training. To complete a university course usually re- quires four vears ' time, and a cost of from $600 to $1000 a year. A full Combination Course at the G. C. B. C. may be completed in one year at an approximate cost of $340. At the lowest estimate the four years ' university course would cost $2400 A Combination Course compl-ted in one year would cost 340 Making a saving of three years in time, and in money $2060 The G. C. B. C. graduate can therefore work three years at a good salary be- fore the university student is through school. During this time he can earn at the lowest calculation $65 a month, or $2340 Thus making a gain over the professional student of $4400 In the meantime the G. C. B. C. student is well established in business with his salary constantly increasing; whereas the profes- sional student must work up a patronage that would require many months ' time, as a rule, before he is even earning a livelihood. UNIVERSITY COURSE A great many young men take the short- hand course before entering a university. The knowledge of shorthand enables them to study the university subjects to much better advan- tage, as they are enabled to take the lectures of the professors, and they frequently make considerable money by furnishing copies to other students, who are not so fortunate as to understand stenography.
