Experienced Accountant, Court Report er and Teacher. Lee’s Commercial School. A Special Short-hand and Book keeping* School will open in the Dean Building on Mon day, July 11th. To the People of Gainesyille: In this age of industrial and com mercial life shorthand and book-keep ing have become a necessity, and all young men and young ladies who desire to toil in the fields of business or in the iines of the profession should, in their own interest, add a knowledge of shorthand and book-keeping to their other qualifications. Every one should be trained to dexterity in some useful and productive industry,not solely that they may follow that pursuit, but that they might do so in case of failure m their callings. In this age shorthand ranks fore most as a profession. Compared with the legal profession it is invariably the case that the fees of the stenographer equal those of the attorney, and oft- times exceed them. In the Benham murder trial, which has just been Up before the courts, it is shown by the official report that the compensation of the stenographer was more than three times that of the at torney, the former receiving $1,800, the latter $500. Also in the famous Borden murder trial, the stenographers’ fees amounted to over $1,700. For report ing the Lexow investigation, which lasted some six months, the amount paid as stenographers's fees was $17,- 460.57. The opportunity is no presented you to obtain a knowledge of the latest im proved methods of book-keeping and shorthand by attending either our day or night school. Our course is so arranged that you may only attend at night and by prop er application be thoroughly prepared at the end of the term to keep aDy set of mercantile, double entry books or obtain a complete knowledge of short hand, and be able to write any matter from dictation. This vve guarantee to all those who attend our school regularly and con scientiously apply themselves. Hun dreds of - young men and young ladies have acquired their only knowledge of these important 'studies by attending our night school and are now holding responsible positions as book-keepers and stenographers. With the ex perience of the past to aid us, with the assistance, co-operation and confidence of an intelligent and progressive peo ple, with the enthusiasm which accom panies progress and meritorious work, we are sure that all who take our course will be p 1 eased and far better prepared to fight the battles of life suc cessfully.

To Whom it May Concern: I attended Prof. Lee’s shorthand schoolhere.and do not hesitate in saying his course is the best.
