of reputation—an institution that

That is juc the reason so many

Ito the Southern Shorthand and Busi
-1 ness University, of this city, to master
its p actical courses in Shorthand.
Booitkwping, Banking. Typewriting,
etc.
Last night Miss Elite Whitworth, a
most worthy ami ambitious student,
left the Southern to accept a position
is stenographer and . assistant book
keeper with a large manufacturing
concern in Florida, beginning on a
salary of $75 per month. This posi
tion was secured for Miss Whitworth
by the managers of the Southern,
whose vigilance in locating their grad
uates knows no bounds. This fact is
borne out by the evidence that more
stenographers are employed in At
lanta that attended tbe Southern than
the combined number from all other
Business Schools in this city
The people learned that the Southern
teaches the best systems known to the
world.
That it turns out the best qualified
stenographers and bookkeepers in the
shortest time possible.
That the business men give prefer
ence to its pupils when in need of high
grade office help.
Some of the Southern’s pupils have
accepted and held shortband positions
after one month’s instruction, and
quite a number after from two to three
months’ instruction, but. as is the case
tn all schools, such records are excep
tions. The Southern prefers that its
pupils remain .in school from three
to six months and better qualify for
better positions—that’s why the busi
ness men p eter the Southern’s pupils.
Two pupils recently entered the
Southern, paying the regular rates,
with fiee scholarships iri other schools
in their pockets.
