PROFESSOR J. E. GEORGE
In 180!), there was bora in the city
of Enid an institution having a. spec-
ial mission, that of equipping the
rising generation to successfully
battle with the business problems
with which all must ba more or less
confronted. lu lias made steady and
sure advancement along it's chosen
line, until now it stands a sol d insti-
tution, having up-to-date methods,
new equipment, and cjmtetent
teaehers in the line which stands for
proticiency in busicess. The actual
face-to-face business as tiven you L.v
the Enid BusinessCollege, is a feature
unexcelled by any school in theSsuth-
west. The students of this system
have made good wherever they have
been placed. They ::o out into the
business world and accept good posi-
tions and do with comparative ease
the work which calls for men of
experience. hy not? They are
experienced, having had so much
actual work In college, the intricacy
of which is much greater than that
in every day business.
The teachers of this institution, as
well as ths minagement, are of
experience in ev^ry day business life,
as well as especially prepared for their
iliosen work.
We paint to r: j rid reds of ycuilg men
and women who have been successful
through the system as taugr.t by this
institution. Whv not take up the
line of work and be prepared to do
any line of business with ease and
satisfaction? Wj cannot tell what
the vicissitudes of life will bring,
hence we are great believers in busi-
ness education for both men and
womjn, and the world at large is
becoming more and more convinced of
the advisability of a tho rou&li and
practical business course. It is no
longer simply for those who wish to
gain a livlihoad through its acquisa-
tion, but as a oractical education that
we more iully appreciate life.
In a commercial institution, in a
short time, you will become familiar
with hundreds of various kinds of
business transactions which transpir-
ed in a period co"ering many years.
Hence you becoraa familiar with all
these various problems in a short time
that otherwise wjuld requ re a life
time of experiencs, and you would of
necessity be forced to at ail times be
on the lookout for fear of being over-
taken by something with which you
are not familiar.
Arrangements have just beau con-
sumated whereby we add to our
working force two strong and very
able men, men who have been quite
successful in commercial work; one is
an artist with t'ia pan as well as a
successful taacher. It is a fact that
all who are fine writers are not good
teachers or penmanship, but experi-
ence has proven that in this person
we have both.
We consider that we now have a
stronger force than any inst:tution in
this section of our countty.
If you never have considered the
class of work as done by this institu-
tion, we invite your careful and uriti
cal ;investigation, and ask that yon
consider the advisability of this kind
of an education, and if you find us
worthy of your patronage, then do
not procrastinate, but take up the
work at your very earliest opportunity.
We a e in session all the time, so you
need not wait for a certain period,
but enter any day.
COMMERCIAL DEPARTMENT—
In this department, we give you book-
keeping, business arithmetic, law of
contracts, business spelliug, business
penmanship, touch typewriting, and
the advanced business department
which includes wholesale work, com-
missian brokerage, and banking. In
these ollices you will find the most up-
to-date books in the country. The
loose leaf ledger and carding system
are special features of the work.
STENOGRAPHIC DEPART-
MENT—Here we give you Benn
Pittman phonography, Universal
dictatien course, spelling, business
letter-wr ting touch typowriting, and
model cfli:e work which includes
mimeographing, letter press and car-
bon copying, carding, filing, indexing,
ttc.
A tree is known Jby the fruit it
bears, and as evidence of the results
of the work of this institution, we
point you to ttu hundreds who have
attended this institution, and as
specific proof, consider the fact that
in the four banking institutions of
this city, we have from one to three
ex-students in each, also a Urge per
cent of the clerical help in the whole-
sale establishments are graduates of
this institution, also that several of
the best stenographic positions offered
by ttie railroads of our city are filled
by crhis institution.
| Do not hesitate further about this
! matter, because it is impartant, it is
j that which you should not hesitate to
! pursue. In view of these facts, call at
the Coilege otllce located on the third
floor ol the McKenzie-Lee building.
11S-120 south Independence Ave:, in
Enid, Oklahoma, and have a conver-
sation with J. E. George, Prin., and
he will carefully explain the work of
this institution in its entirety.

A Blow at Public Ownership.
No heavier blow wns ever struck at
government ownership and operation
la this country than the report of the
joint congressional committee to in-
vestigate the workings of the postof-
Bce department After describing the
unbusinesslike, crude ami wasteful
methods that have grown up the re-
port says, with admirable directness:
"Under such a system a large rail-
road, commercial or industrial busi-
ness would inevitably go into bank-
ruptcy, and the postuffice department
has averted this fate only because the
United States treasury has been availa-
ble to meet deficiencies."
For years there has been a large
deficit, always made up by a dip into
the treasury. It is true that it has
been held that if the service that the
department extends free to the govern-
ment ami to congressmen under the
franking act were properly charged
up the deficiency would disappear-
that it is merely a bookkeeping one.
The fact remains nevertheless that the
department always runs behind, requir-
ing from $10,000,000 to $14,000,000 to
pay Its debts at the end of the year.—
Saginaw (Mich.) Courier-Herald.
Lartgdon's Lighting Loss.
A well informed citizen of I.nngdon,
N. D„ writes:
"The city bought the electric light
plant in 1902 for $7,500 and added
about $10,000 in Improvements. Four
and a half years later the plant was
sold for $'.>,000, involving a capital loss
of $8,.r>00. In addition to tills tliere was
an operating loss of $2,00:) a year, mak-
ing a total loss for four and a half
years of $17,500.
"It is not known just what the con-
ditions were, but the above statement
Is the closest I can get. as the ac-
counts of the lighting business were
mixed with the rest of the city ac-
counts, and the recorder never made a
statement showing the condition of the
plant.
"While the plant cost the city over
$17,000, it cost it very much moro in
factional fights, as when the plant was
sold there was nothing too mean for
one side to say and do against the
other, and whatever any one wanted,
whether It were right or wrong, he had
to fight somebody if it was of a public
nature, as there was no harmony."
Paying Out of the Tax Pocket.
Whon the municipality of Kingston,
Canada, took over the works of the
Kingston Gas Light company for opera-
tion on municipal account the seiling rate
was put at $1 per 1,000 cubic feet, a re-
duction of 50 cents from the rate that
ruled when the plant was owned by ordi-
nary capitalists. The date of the take
over was July 1. 1907. Up to the 1st of
April, 1308, it is figured that the works
ran behind in Its charges $3,000, with the
prospect that the total for the year will
be close to $1,000. The output there will
amount to not over 12.000,000 cubic feet for
the twelvemonth—American Gas Light
Journal.
When allowance Is made for lost
taxes aud depreciation Kingston will
find that its gas has cost more thau the
$1.50 the company charged. It will
have to pay the amount iu excess of
$1 out of another pocket.
Blames Government Ownership.
Incidentally Japanese statesmen are
complaining that it was not so much
the cost of the war, but'^he purchase
and operation of Japanese railways by
the government, that brought about the
present serious financial stringency in
the land of Nippon.—Cincinnati Com-
mercial Tribune.
The remarkable showing made by
some municipal undertakings frequent-
ly is the result of accounting which
omits factors which no private concern
can iguore and remain solvent.—Chica
go Tribune.

That means that, we hav; a reputa-

a reputation that has been otrtaiii'd

that we carry a remarkably complete
