I mf ipjppii im'|"wijp,iu«,jujhhp. : ■■"<-* ~ ~ F ™ yw??*, Ijf ; ■ '- Ty^7 THE ATLANTA GEORGIAN AND NEWS. tfATURDAY. MAY W. m the most successful BUSINESS SCHOOL IN A TLANTA Messrs. H. L. Bridges and Bernard C Ansted Have Since the First of January Established Upon a Firm Footing the Highest-Toned Educational Institution in At lanta. -j lt Ir Ion* connection with the best known Institutions or the South, eluding the University ot Georgia, the Ihiys' High/ School of Atlanta, and sortie of the largest business colleges In the Xorth and South, have guaran teed the success of this enterprise. That these gentlemen would succeed oas a foregone conclusion. Having, during their careers, trained over 6,000 bookkeepers and stenographers, prac tically all of whom are holding splendid positions throughout the South, It was natural that their friends should flock to their support. In fact, 111 students bare already enrolled on the registers of the Dixie Business College, quoted by Its proprietors as The School for Thoroughness. This claim Is certainly not an Idle one. judging from the scene of activity to be witnessed In the school rooms of the Institution. There are eight whole sale unices. Including a shipping and commission house, a hardware concern, a shoe business, a cotton buying estab. ll.hment, a lumber business, two banks, and a clearing house, all under the management of members of the student body, who all are engaged In buying, selling, negotiating loans, etc.. In fact the activity of a busy community is here reproduced, the only difference being that the currency ip restricted to college purposes. In the Department of Shorthand the same actlvUy Is evident. The students nandle the correspondence and office work of the institution. The moat advanced stenographers taking the die tatlon, transcribing their notes, mant- foldlng. Indexing, flllng, tabulating and billing; in fact, every detail of office life la demonstrated, and the students receive such thorough training that when they leave the school to accept positions they can at once begin their duties as experts. The Dixie Business College Is the only school that requires all of its stu dents to write by the famous Touch Method of Typewriting, both on the double and single keyboard. Profes sor Ansted was the pioneer of this celebrated method in the Southeastern states. Professor Bridges has, for nearly ten years, specialised as a pen artist and teacher of accounting, in every branch of the subject. His record and that of Professor Ansted are so well known In Georgia that the Partnership Is real ly an Ideal one, the one partner being an expert in one main branch of Com merclal Education and the other part ner an expert in the other great branch. Such a combination does not exist else where In Atlanta or in the state. The school Is elegantly equipped and young people who are fortunate enough to attend this thoroughly modern col lege will undoubtedly secure a splendid equipment, as we have never seen such unwearied devotion on the part of teachers to their students' Interests. The Instruction Is made Individual throughout the entire course. The entire tone of the school Is eminently superior, and the class of students Is decidedly representative. EX-SEN. M'LAURIN 10 HELP GROWERS FIGHT EXCHANGE New York, May 18.—Ex-Senator John L. McLaurln has been retained by the Southern Cotton Association as asso ciate counsel for Messrs. Ivins, Mason, Wolff A Hoguet, of New York, on the trial of the case of Price against the New York Cotton Exchango. This shows to what extent the growers are Interested. Mr. Ivins has expressed his pleasure at thus being placed In the ’ position of having the assistance of counsel familiar with the business of cotton on all of the cotton exchanges. There is a feeling growing that Mr. Price in the present suit will not be able to force a square stand-up fight with the cotton exchange. The effort to have the suit dismissed on technical grounds shows that he will have to meet every legal Ingenuity before he can get them down to his desired Issue. "Developments of interest will come most surely If Price’s suit goes to trial,’’ said a friend of the operator, “and facts, which rumor dealt with often, will come to light. It is not the South alone Which will be interested. Every man who has respect for elementary honesty In business will be Interested, Intensely Interested. "It will help to cure the acute astig matism from which the 1 gentlemen in control of the exchange, seem to suffer. They will be able to look ahead, to ap proach that fairness to all Is essential to the conference institutions Itself.' DUND MRS, BRADLEY WILL VISIT EUROPE Rev. Dr. H. S.
