That there was no occasion for Miss Lane and Miss Rowan becom ing angered and leaving their posi tions was the opinion of Mrs. Har ris, who Issued a statement consider ably at variance with that of the young women. She scouted the idea of an investigation. No Reason for Inquiry. "I can see no reason for an inves tigation,” she said. "We already are in possession of the facts. "Miss Lane and Miss Rowan have resigned. That is all there Is to It. There will be no effort to get them back. Their places will be filled at the regular meeting of the board this noon. "They were unduly excited when they thought they saw a burglar last night. They created a great stir and were the cause of a preposterous scare for which there appears to have been no basis. Says They Lost Tempers. "Then they all lost their tempers when they were advised by the su perintendent to keep cool. The whole affair is regrettable.” Attendants Still Angry. Miss Lane and Miss Rowan were indignant when seen to-day. They maintained they had been in- - cited by the words and ridicule of Miss Bradner, who had laughed at the idea of a burglar, even though there had been a real burglar Mon day night. The young women left the home last night and are at the residence of Miss Rowan. 695 White hall Street. Miss Lane and Miss Rowan went to the home this morning, but did not make any charges against Miss Brad ner to the board of governors, accord ing to Mrs. Dan Harris, chairman. "At the meeting of the board this morning we simply accepted their resignations and will put other young ladies in their places." said Mrs. Har ris. “There was no ‘strike’ as report ed. They did not appear before the board or make any complaint, and we have regarded the incident as a lit tle matter."

Springtime Brings Young People From All Parts of the Country to the Southern Shorthand and Business Universitv. Business education is the present- day necessity! • “Can you write shorthand or keep a set of books?” the applicant for a position is asked by the business man. “Where w r ere you taught business?” is about the second question usually propounded. Young man. young woman, think, and think seriously. Consider well these two questions. Young Coleman came to Atlanta from the North and walked the streets for three months looking for a position, but without success. Sev eral business men, on whom he called, advised him to take a course in the Southern Shorthand and Business University of this city. He thought: he acted. The result: After a three-months' course, the Southern placed him with a railroad company as stenographer at $50 per month to begin. Mr. Coleman was ambitious, worked to please, and he is now r drawing a fine salary. If you want a position, you’ll have to take a business course sooner or later; then, why not now? Don’t postpone longer such an im portant matter- “If you have a diploma from the Southern Business University I will give you a position,” said a prominent business man to a young fellow' ap plying for a job. The Southern is an old school- been running 47 years: has a large faculty; teaches the best known sys tems of shorthand, bookkeeping, etc. Plenty of typewriters on which to practice—seventy-five; think of it! Its graduates send other students, and that tells the story of merit. They keep the school humping. What better recommendation could be desired? It looks business-like at the South ern. Then, the jobs come along just as fast as the busy students can get ready for them. That’s one of the things that makes the Southern the most popular busi ness school in the South. Mr. Seymas was another ambitious young fellow who was living from "hand to mouth” on a little farm up in South Carolina. He wanted bet ter things than his meager income would supply, but he lacked a Busi ness Education and was. therefore, handicapped. But ‘•where there’s a will there’s a way.” So Mr. Se> mas borrowed money with which to buy his Business Edu cation. and this was the best move he MISS ELIZABETH ALEXANDER, Who came from Ireland, took a course in the Southern Shorthand and Business University and is now a fine business woman in her native land. ever made- He took the Southern's full course and now he receives several thou sand dollars a year from one of the largest concerns in the South There are ladies in Atlanta receiving $150 a monih since acquiring a Busi ness Education at the Southern The Southern’s pupils come from everywhere. The following letter came from a most worthy young lady who lives in Ireland: “Castleflnn Co., Donegal, Ireland, “Dec. 10. 1912. “Southern Shorthand and Business University, Atlanta, Ga.
