FAMOUS BU8!NESS SCHOOL. 1
Opened September 7. _
With the largest enrollment in its
ltisto1v, the Bryant & Strntton Commer
cial school began its tears' u ork T-ttos
day, September 7. The success of this
school which is one of the best known
in the U11 itcd States. had 11 strikingt
testimony to the value of efficient moo
thods in business education. in the
first place, the school building is 9.1
pectally adapted to its needs. in factl
it was constructed especially for the!
school with ever needed facility. on i
ccllcnt light front high, \t 1dc window!
and plenty of fresh air it is located
in the moat convenient section of incl
ctty,b between Arlington, Boyston and'
Providence street. Boston.
The Bryant & Stratton teaching.
plan is the individual system, based on
the particular requirements of each
pupil. Actual practice is combined with
study. The different courses fit stud
cnts not only for general business but.
for’ secretarial and 'stenograpbic posi-
l'ions,1civll sérvice examinations, ac
counting, auditing and teaching; of
commercialbrancbes in high schools.
Graduates-from thisschool are always
in demand in the' business world. '
The Bryarit‘lk tStratton School has
day sessions only, from 9 to 2, with
no classes on Saturdays or evenings.
A tribute to the high standing of the
school is ,the fact that all patronage
comes unsolicited—no canvassing “or
other methods—in common practice by
business “colleges"——being used
