TO THE PUBLIC ' The object of this publication is to make known the advantages of' a Business Klucfttioh, and to show. rht this school has and will do for its patrons. The number of pupils "who have attended this school, from 'is and otter places, and the pres ent increase, leads me to believe that mi-pfforts to sustain a tirst-class r school in V nsllinrtOn . NC.1S fullv C 1 1 appreciated. 1 am .deeply grateful to W former graduates, friends and patrons for their encouragement in the past, and earnestly solicit same in the future. I will assure you ;that I shall continue to. make it my const: nt .aim to advance the interest tif those' who become students in my Institution. I shall' do all in my pow- - . ... er to promote the welfare andlhan ness of liiy students; so that the' mav remain my friends and confi dints. I esteem it a privilegeat all times, i" or out of school, to do any thing I can for their improvement. By 'this method I succeed in imbuing students with an interest in study, who have accomplished little or ! nothing at other, schools. In con clusion I will .state that I make no statements "or promises in this cir cular, for which I shsill not hold ' myself '.responsible. ' 'Please ijive this circular a careful .ami attentive reading., so as to famil iarize yourself with the advantages .offered by this Institution. Hespectfully submitted i A. 11. Wilkinson, Principal. PARENTS ANI GUARDIANS. Kigli't ninths of our boys and girls iiwr growing up in this world of , t name rce will, sooner or later, en gage in business. The regular pub lic or private schools afford little or no direct qualification for it. Most schools which advertise to fit for "College or Business," really mean nothing-by the latter , except instruc tion in the languages and mathemat ics, and it 'is well known '.that not one professional teacher in forty is proficient in practical Book-keeping, or knows anything about actual busi ness. When your son or daughter i from sixteen to twenty -one years of age, send them to the Commer cial School. They will here not on ly learn business branches, but they will learn much of the inside inan: abluent of an office, as well as neat ness. -accuracy and faithfulness liich will be most gratifying to you and valuable to them: Bear in mind that each student is instructed in dividually, and is required to do his own work in the school room thus making each one self reliant I A young man well versed in busi- - nfss matters is always in demand ULT EDUCATION AT HOME jioung men are constantly leav lfcr this part of the country . to at lpnd Business Schools in the-aiorth ana west , spending thousaiuls of dollars, enriching that part of the country, while this part grows poor " all the time.

I am making this special offer to all who wijl enter in six months from the time they receive this circular, to introduce my system of Leaching.

Remittance of money may be made in advance of a stu dent coming, by Drafts, Post Office Money Order, or Registered Letter. By so doing there will be no danger of losing the money on the way or bei'ig robbed by rascals, frauds and deceivers. PERTINENT REMARKS. A Parent's best gift to a son or daughter. And one that will prove a better legacy than money, is a full course of training at the Commercial School, Washington, N. C. It will give an opportunity to qualifiy themselves for usefulness, and for any position that may be thrust upon them in these progressive times of business activity. " A Business Education is the best lever for direct promotion, position and honor. It will prove an imperishable capital to any ambi tious young man or boy. "Riches may take to themselves wings and fly-away," but the foundation" of a business training' will remain while life and reason exist. .. What Shall we Teach ocjj faji-. MER BOTS AND CilRLS? Extracts from a paper read before the Congressional Farmers Insti tute, held at Rock Island, 111., by J. W. Warr. I would have the farmer boy giv en a practical business education. I would have him rapid, expert and cor rect in figures, a good legible peri- man and a thorough accountant. He . ' v--:;" ! IM IM E 0 A L N. C., A.. H.

A slipshod way of doing buslneshas ferbught many a farm within ' the clutches of . the deadly mortgage . -A farmer is a manufacturer, f andj Jiis wares are governed by the same laws of trade that govern other commodities. If he employs the same business prin- ciples that other manufacturers find it neccessary to employ, he will pro duce only the best articles at the lowest cost and will sell at the prop er time in the best market. In the good time coming the farmer will be more of a business man and less of a drudge; hence the farmer boy of today to be the successful farmer of the future must be provided with a thorough business education j J wulcTgive Our farmer. girls the same course of business training that I would the boy. I would have them qualified to keep the books of the farm , conduct the correspond ence and attend to all the financial details of the business. , Life ins u ranee for the benefit of the wife is a good thing, but the insurance against losses by ignorance of business, is a kind of insurance not so expensive to carry , is ' non forfeitable and the protection is sure. "I do not object to classical lea n ing; far from it. But I would not have it exclude the living present. Therefore I welcome the business college in theform it has taken in the United States' because it meets an acknowledged want , by affording to young people of only common scholastic attainments, and even the graduates from Harvard and Tale, an opportunity to learn important and indispensable life lessons before they go out into the business of life."

HOW MUST I PREPARE FOR BU3IXB8S. Attend this School, take the full course of Business training, make the proper use of your time, study carefully all the principles and rules, do not pass over anything without understanding it thoroughly; every one who does this is guaranteed suc cess, let his vocation in life be what it may . NOW IS THE TIME, DO NOT DELAT. Never put off for to-morow, things that should be done to-day. Remember the beautiful and instruc tive quotation "The great secret of success in life irf or a man to be ready when his opportunity comes. M Hundreds right here have missed good places by not being ready,' so I would suggest to young men that the present is the time to get an educa tion, for responsibilities that, await y ouT Com peterit men are wanted in all departments of industry.

Those 'who do not wish to 'study Book-keeping can take penmanship or rapid calcula tion on very reasonable terms. . What is He Worth ?

To Business Men. Merchants, baa kers, manufacturers, umber companies, rail-road compa nies, etc., wishing to employ a Book-keeper, an assistant Book-keep er, Secretary, Entry Clerk, or any thing of the kind, will apply to the principal of this school, and he will recommend you to one. Several graduates of this Institution are oc cupying responsible positions. Noth ing1 but competent and reliable ap plicants will be recommended, no charge to employer or employee. Night School. To accommodate those living near this School, I will have a night ses 8ion, which will open on the first Monday in October and continue to the first of May; two hours each night from 7 to 9 PI M. Those at tending these sessions have equal advantages to pursue the full course with the day students , or they can take Penmanship or Business Arithmetic alone, on very reasonable terms This is an excellent opportunity for those who cannot leave their busi ness in the day. REASON WHY. t Should Attend the Co miner cial School, 1 Washington, N. C. Because, I realize that skilled , : I 1 labor is iu demand and far more valuable, and that time is equiva lent to money, aud many schools charge; by the quarter aud keep their sLudents on uuimportaut work, thus retarding the progress of the student to augment the tuition. " 'Because, this School gives a lifetime scholarship to pursue the best' and highest honored System in the world for 930 which is less than any other school charges. Beoaus , I can be better qual fled to occupy any position or vo cation in life in ttfe shortest time and at less expense than any othe school.'
