Study of Shorthand.
The shorthand department of the
modern buelnese college has always
been conceded to be especially thor
ough. Individual Instruction Is given
In rudiments of stenography, after
which, the student Is passed to the ad
vanced speed practice. Thoroughness
and accuracy are required at every
step. Only those who possess a gopd
common education and who are willjng
to spend'a reasonable length of time In
order thoroughly to master the subject
are desired.
The principal is unable to supply the
demands, made on the college for
stenographers. The shorthand gradu
ates or this Institution are efficient.,
accurate and rapid and prove the thor
oughness of the course of Instruction
by the positions they hold. Thousands
of bright young women have graduated
from the Dixie Business College and
are now earning remunerative salaries
business men In this and other large
cities of the Mouth as well as other
large cities In other states. Wherever
a graduate of tho old reliable business
college lands, he or she Is qualified to
discharge the duties of an expert sten
ographer and efficient typewriting In a
satisfactory manner.
