Gettindjllhead . Two High School graduates start out together, alike in appearance, personality, and prospects. The first realizes the need of special commercial training. The second says he will get his in the School of Experience. While one is struggling with the fundamentals of business as an apprentice at a small salary, the other is rapidly pushing himself ahead to a position of trust and responsibility. We are on the threshold of a new educational era. Reconstruction will demand that you be competent to do the practical work of the nation. The war left the Business College standing in the forefront as the great exponent of practical and eflicient vocational schooling. DO YOU KNOW- That scores of ambitious young men and women have defrayed their entire expenses through college by means of a Business Education? That a knowledge of Shorthand and Typewriting will enable you to do your college work in a more satisfactory manner by getting lectures and addresses verbatim? That you will have every advantage over the young man and woman who lacks this special knowledge? THREE MONTHS FOR THE COST OF ONE Roanoke High School graduates have a peculiar advantage as a result of having one of the leading business colleges of the country in their home town. They can attend the National Business College three months for what it costs an out-of-town student to attend one month. Business men frequently ask if we have a Roanoke High School graduate who has completed stenography or bookkeeping. They see in you a future manager or executive. But remember that Shorthand, Touch Typewriting, Bookkeeping, Accounting, and Banking are the stepping-stones by which you are expected to reach these more responsible ositions. P The Career Courses, as taught in this Institution, are approved by the United States Government Bureau of Education. These courses are also approved by business men every- where who know and appreciate the services of competent and efhcient assistants. VV e want you to have a copy of our catalog and view book. It contains many valuable suggestions. It will tell you why thousands of young people with a National Business Col- lege training are Getting Ahead. Write to-day for a copy, or call at the office and get it. ROANOKE NATIONAL BUSINESS COLLEGE, Roanoke, Va. QThe school that met war-time conditions is a good school to attend any timej
