Others are securing scholarships to be used in August, September and later, just to receive the ben efit of the overwhelming reduction now made. It is not a question of obtain ing as low or even a lower rate at some other colleges, but the point of great interest is that you can now secure such a remarkably low rate in the Ion*-established, old reliable, superbly equipped and well-known Southern Shorthand and Business University, “the school that gets results,” and nat urally the school you prefer to at tend.

From this list vve hope to secure many pupils at the regular rates, which will be in effect by August 1, and thus be reimbursed for the loss we are now sustaining by this advertising offer."
