Don’t Shirk Your Duty
You would be a very unnatural
parent if you did not wish to give
your boy or girl the best educational
advantages that are in your power
a very thoughtless parent if you sent
him to the first school that mailed you
a catalogue, and an unpardonable
parent if you entered him in school
without first investigating its loca-
tion, sanitation, equipment,' character
°f student body, faculty,' system of
discipline, and above all the moral
surroundings. Yours is the duty of
investigation, comparison and ulti-
mate decision.
Your boy or girl is the hope of your
life. In him or her is centered your
most cherished ambition. His or her
worth to you cannot be measured by
dollars and cents, but his or her val-
ue must be measured by the training
which he received in home and in
school.
Our 236 page catalogue will tell
you of America’s largest business
university which has had over 30,000
students from thirty-nine different |
states and eight foreign countries. It
will tell you of the endorsements by
the best business men, ministers, law-
yers and bankers, it will give you the
experience of young people who came
to us with limited means, and after
a short time in our school, what then'
success has been. We know you nre
bound to bo interested, so ask us to
furnish you the proof. Our large,

many, which threatens to disurpt the
entire League of Nations, the State
Department, it was learned officially
Saturday, will send an “official ob-
server” to the conference at Geneva,
which opens Dec. 7.
In this battle the sympathy of the
Government, which is anxious to see
both Germany and Austria admitted
to the league, is entirely with Great
Britain.
It was specifically stated, howev-
er, that the American official cannot
be considered a delegate and will not
have credentials from the State De-
partment.
Hugh Wallace, ambassador to Paris
or James G. Bailey, Charge d’Affaires
at Berne, will in all probability, it
was stated, be chosen for this delicate
mission.
