Los Estudiantes Hispano-Americanos en el Gem City Business College COMPRENDIENDO la idea que los padres de familia de las Naciones His- pano-Americanas tienen acerca de lo ventajoso que es para sus hijos al dedicarlos a la vida comercial el enviarlos por algun tiempo a nuestros colegios, y deseosos de ofrecer a estos estudiantes un lugar adecuado para su educa- cion; hemos dedicado especial atencion a los estudiantes extrangeros y ahora al publicar nuestro catalogo correspon- diente al periodo escolar de 1911 a 1912, no vacilamos en llamar la atencion de los padres de familia ofreciendo a sus ordenes nuestro colegio, pues estamos altamente satisfechos de los resultados que en estos ultimos afios hemos ob- tenido con los estudiantes Mexicanos. Con ellos hemos experimentado y es- tablecido con exito una clase espcial de Ingles, en que suministrandoles ejerci- cios de composicion y de lectura corre- gimos sus defectos de construccion y pronunciacion facilitandoles notable- mente de este modo el correcto apren- disaje de nuestro idioma. El Gem City Business College por mas de cuarenta afios ha marchado a la cabeza de los colegios comerciales de America, contando con un numeroso y experimentado cuerpo docente. Nues- tro edificio es espacioso, higienico y per- fectamente equipado y Quincy, la pob- lacion elegida para fundar nuestro col- egio ofrece al estudiante grandes garan- tias higienicas a la vez que los encantos de su natural belleza, sin brindarle con las innumerables deversiones que le ofrecen los grandes ciudades haciendole mas dificil el dedicarse por completo a sus tareas escolares. Ofrecemos al estudiante varios diferentes cursos a saber : EL CURSO COMERCIAL que comprende las asignaturas siguientes: Tene- duria de Libros, Aritmetica Comercial, Codigo de Comercio, Correspondencia Mer- cantil, Caligrafia y Gramatica, dedicando especial atencion a la ortografia. 1. Ignacio Flores Trevino, General Arteaga No. 106, Monterrey, N. L., Mexico, 2. Carlos Cabello Gonzalez, 2a. de Xicontencatl No. 9, Saltillo. Coah., Mexico 3. Edmundo R. Rodriguez, 2a. de Victoria, Saltillo, Coah., Mexico. 4. Fernando J. Garcia, 4a. de Hidalgo No. 2 ' •, Satillo, Coah., Mexico. 5. Alfonzo L. Butron, Iturbide No. 75, Chicontepec, Ver., Mexico. En este curso tenemos establecido el departamento de practica comercial y en el, el estudiante asienta en sus libros no las transacciones imaginarias de su libro de texto, sino las que el personalmente efectua ya descontando letras, ya comprando 6 vendiendo mercancias, obteniendo asi una exata idea de todas las operaciones comerciales. EL CURSO DE TAQUIGRAFIA comprende las asignaturas siguientes: Taquigrafia, Escritura en Maquina Gra- matica y Correspondencia Mercantil. Y EL CURSO DE CALIGRAFIA en que se estudia detenidamente todos los ramos de la caligrafia moderna. Al mismo tiempo que invitamps a los padres de familia a mandar sus hi- jos a nuestro colegio, creemos en nues- tro deber manifestarles que juzgamos conveniente no sean enviados hasta que tengan al menos diez y siete afios de edad, esto es cuando ya puedan hacerse cargo de su situacion, y comprender de la manera que deben obrar al encoii- trarse lejos de sus familias, puesaunque el colegio vigila la conducta de los estudiantes tanto en la escuela como fuera de ella, una triste experiencia nos hace ver que los jovenes que aiin no han alcanzado la mencionada edad mu- chas veces no atendienden nuestras ad- vertencias y adquieren habitos de ociosi- dad que les son perjudiciales en el porvenir. ASISTENCIA Y ALOJAMIENTO — Asistencia y alojamiento de buena calidad pueden obtenerse al precio de 5 a 7 pesos oro semanarios. COLEGIATURA — Por tres meses $35 oro y por doce meses $125. Los libros para el Curso Comercial importan 14 pesos y 5 los del Curso de Taquigrafia. Publicamos informes mas detallados acerca de nuestros cursos escolares y de los precios de colegiatura en la pagina quince de nuestro catalogo, y con el mayor gusto daremos toda clase deinformaciones sobre el particular. D. L. MUSSELMAN, President, Quincy, 111., U. S. A. 67
