It la nn old but trite saying that
“nothing succeed* Ilka success, omd,
When the manager* of the Dixie In-
Itersfcste Flair. after consMertng Wo
mrrka of the business oolloge exhibit,,
iirtiM.rt the diploma and blue rlbboo

The diploma recites, "For beet ex
hibit and moWiod work In bookkeep
ing, plain tend ornamental penmuoehlp,
nap Id pxloutaitlona, bualnena nnd office
practice, Umklinr, stenography unsd

No literary Inatliutlon of the present
Say can nuoceed without large dona
tions and endowments from year to
roar, and yet a bualneex college muat
aucoecd on Ha own merits. Professor
J. K. Porter has made n phenomenal
• tiirtccaa of tousluos* college work Ut
Macon and from the first has conduct
ed It upon business principle!. Ilia
courae of atttdy and method! of In
struction are on a par wbJh those of
Koolw-ater, Poughkeepsie and New
York, and, acting an Fitunklln's sage
advice. “Kcop thy Shop and thy shop
shall keep (thee." ho employ* the best
tsadhera la bualneas education and
makea fho crowning work of endh de
partment “actual bualhesa practice,
.(ram atari to finish.” *
That which Impressed business men
lion by writing cants or presenting
nnd iteadhers more than tuvrtihlng else
was the ctoraoter of the exhibits. Pro-
feasor Porter (nude no attempts 1o

Iirji-lmwn binds or spread eagle nour
ishes, ns no respectable business col
lege would dace Impose north stuff u|xwi

fine pea work In card writing, flourish
ing. pen lettering, pen art uml burthens
writing, and won the diploma and blue
ribbon, but these were not offered na
forming any -port of the course of
study, except business writing and let
tering. The e CM lilt consisted of {/he
papers nnd vouchers token from the
college mulatto! bank rend counting
room practice. They have the ear
marks of having been rendered dur
ing the hours of business nnd In the
regular way. Then Were were the va
rious offices of the counting room; the
srthilme of bualneas practice used hi
Interoommunksitlon work: the business
prawlee used In connection with the
text, said the work on rapid calcula
tions, earth written by one of the fac
ulty of Porter's Business College; tthe
college money: the form work In short
hand and typewriting ostd. In addition,
typewriting machines in npnrwttivn.
“This la not a school; this Is business
practice.” said rate business nun. "Tli'.n
strikes me as business training." And
here Is the secret of the success In i lls
InH.ltutkui; "Learn to do by doing."
'Besides We hundreds rend rhouranda
