Don’t Wait Until the Fall.
\Ve are of the opinion that if you
are expecting to attend our school you
cannot give a reasonable excuse for
postponing entering until fall. We
can present sufficient proof to con-
vince you that the earlier you start
in tp obtain a practical education, the
tetter it will be for you. We have now
almost as large an attendance in the
summer as we have in the winter.
We offer every inducement in summer
that we offer in the winter. Our past
records show that students attending
school in June, July and August make
as good progress as those attending
any other three months in the year.
This is due to the fact that our school
rooms are cool and pleasant, and that
our teachers put forth the same ener-
gy in the summer months os in tlte
winter. He who enters now will ftHr
is h in time for a good position during
the busy fall season. We will get the
position for you. We will start you
into 1915 with more money, and a
practical education besides. It has
been our life work solving just such
problems as yours, and qualifying
young men and women to earn three
dollars where they could not have
earned one.
Write u* by mail; tell us confiden-
tially what is hindering you from en-
tering before fall. We have now over
650 in daily attendance. Tyler Com-
