It is a startling fact tliat only one bo}' in four hundred is in school at the age of 18. Some have dropped out through lack of interest. More have been obliged to give up their hopes for au education on account of the lack of money and the constant struggle for life in their homes. Xot a few of these youngmen could now command better positions and larger salaries if they had the necessary education. But how and where can tliey get it? Many of them could not afford to stop work to attend school even for a few montlis, nor haye they the money laid by to defray the necessary expenses. Alive to this great need, the Young Men's Christian Association has taken a bold step forward to flll the gap. Without the necessity of a young man's giving up bis employment or of having a fair-sized bank account, it proposes to offer him the advantages ot' a thorough and practical business education under the most competent instruction to be obtained in a University town for au astonishingly low figure. This is to be a permanent institution. It is backed by the most snccessful business men of the city. It will be a power in the community for developing intelligent, patriotic citizens and honest, thoroughgoing business men. Much praise is due the Education al Committee, composed of Geo. L. Moore, L. H. Clement, and Geo. H. Pond, for their untiring efforts in securing a corps of the very best of instructora, and in being able to offer courses of such exceptional and practical value. The following is a list of the instructora, the courses offered, and the time required for each : BUSINESS TRAINING COURSE. Book-keeping, 25 lessons, 1 hour each once a week. D. W. Springer, Instructor. Business Correspondence and Business Arithmetic, 25 lessons, 1 hour each once a week. D. W. Springer, Instructor. Penmanship, 25 lessons, }., hour each once a week. Ed. L. Seyler, Ass't Instructor. Spelling. (To be combined with English and Composition work. Practical Business Law, 25 lessons, 1 hour each, once a week. Civil Government, 25 lessons, 1 hour each, once a week. T. W. Hughes, Instructor. INDUSTRIAL COURSE. Mechanical Drawing, 50 lessons, 1 hour each twice a week. Herbert J. Goulding, Instructor. LANGUAGE COÜESE. Germau, 50 lessons, 1 hour each twice a week. J. A. C. Hildner, Instructor. . English and Composition, 25 lessons, ! hour each, once a week. Classes will begin Oct. 1, and continue 25 weeks, closing about Apr. öth. There will be no class work, however, on legal holidays. For members of the association the tuition will be $1.00 for the firet one hour course elected and 50c for each additional one hour course, or $2.00 for the first two hour course elected and $1.00 for each additional two hour course. For non-members the tuition will be just doublé the above figures. Thus a member can take any two of the above courses at a cost of only 3c a lesson. No young man who has a desire for a better education should miss this opportunity. The only requirement is to feel your need. The entire work will be under the supervsion of Mr. T. W. Hughes, at present Instructor in the Law Department of the University, who is one of the iblest educators in the state. Some very attractive printed announcements will be out next week explaining the entire work in detail. For further particulars cali on or write to the General Secretary, B. B. Johnson, Y. M. C.
