Richmond Business College Moving to Georgia State Building. Ofefh- -■■ ~ - ' i ■ ' • Mil taWS®’l i r 1i ■ : - ' ! I .laWfS'l i ■ * ■&»' y.s?Sr J -7* NEW AND PERMANENT HOME OF THE RICHMOND BUSINESS COLLEGE, CORNER BULL AND YORK STREETS, SAVANNAH, GA. On Friday, the 15th instant, The Richmond Busi ness College will begin its removal from the Masonic Temple to its newly acquired, large and commodious quarters in the Georgia State Building, corner Bull and York streets. The institution will be ready and open for business in all departments on Monday morning, May 18. The Richmond Business College was established in 1882 by Prof. C. S. Richmond. Since 1898, this model institution has been ably managed by Prof. C. J. Richards who became its president in 1903. This is the sixth time that it has been found neces sary to increase its facilities for the better accommo dation of a large and constantly growing patronage. The new quarters are commodious and elaborately fitted and furnished, and have been arranged with especial regard to the comfort and convenience of the pupils, day and night and in all seasons of the year. Under the wise direction of President Richards, The Richmond Business College has always kept well abreast of the times, and has been ever ready to take up and adopt in its various courses any and every new idea which gave promise of improve ment in methods for the thorough equipment of its patrons for making their respective ways in the world, independently of all save self. The management has labored hard for the benefit of the pupils entrusted to their care, and the fact that there is hardly a business house or office in Savannah or vicinity without one or more of its graduates, is convincing proof of its usefulness and popularity. Nor has its patronage been restricted to its home town. Pupils have been in attendance from other towns and cities, as well as from the country districts in various sections of the State, and in many instances, from other States. THE REASON In the Richmond Business College there are five courses taught. Pupils may enter the College at any time and for either day or evening instruction. Diplomas are awarded to all who graduate in any one of the courses. The Commercial Course is designed to give prep aration for business life, with the least possible sacri fice of time and money—to give a thorough and scientific course of instruction and training in the principles and the mechanical work in bookkeeping and its collateral branches, as well as in all the de tails of office work, and to afford as complete a knowledge of the underlying principles which govern business, as time will permit. The Shorthand Course affords such instruction in shorthand, typewriting, correspondence, language, etc., as will enable the pupil to become a capable stenographer in the shortest possible time, and the English Course affords those who require it, thorough and systematic review of the common branches, and those whose opportunities for study have been limited, complete instruction in the more necessary branches. The Penmanship and Typewriting Courses are unequaled. It is no exaggeration to say that there is not an institution of its kind in the country better equipped, or whose courses of instruction are more thorough than The Richmond Business College offers to the young men and young women to prepare themselves for a life of usefulness and independence. The importance of a business education cannot be over estimated, and the fact that this is realized by all is testified to by the action of all schools and colleges adding commercial departments to their course of instruction, as rapidly as possible.
