I HE GIRL AND
THE LION
Which Will You Do, Win Your
Independence or Marry a
Two-bit Man?
You are at the cross roads of
life. There are two paths open
to you. One leads to indenpen-
dence, the other to dependency.
You are to choose the road you
will travel. One requires ef-
fort, the other indifference. To
travel one, you must have real
backbone and determination,
the other, any old thing will do.
Some girls say "The lion is in
the way." These girls lack
gumption, get-up-and get.
They reason that if so-and-so
and such-and-such a thing had
not happened they could have
made a great suces. The lion
is in the way. Fear and indif-
ference have entered into their
daily lives and robbed them of
their vim and courage. It's
our life work to train people to
determine to get up and do
things, develop their latent tal-
ents, quicken their perception
that they may lead a higher and
more useful life. Our thorough
practical training in Bookkeep-
ing, Business Methods, Short-
hand, Steno-typewriting, Tel-
egraphy, Business Writing,
Business English, Business Law
Business Arithmetic, Spelling,
Rapid Calculation, Money and
Banking, Corporation Finance,
Taxation and Public Finance,
Private Secretaryship, Sales-
manship, Advertising, Real Es-
tate, Commercial History, High-
er accounting. Economics, Par-
limentary Law and Managerial-
ship, together with the use of
the most modern office applianc-
es, gets the lion out of the way,
gives the girl her independence
places her where she can make
an hororable living,in any city
in the land; command the res-
pect of the very best people. If
in after life, she is left a widow
with plenty of money or prop-
erty she knows how to care for
it. If upon the other hand, she
is left to support herself she
can do so by accepting a good
salaried position or go into bus-
iness for herself.

tion are not only carefully look-
