competent teachers of commer-cial branches has been so great

that business colleges have

sprung up all over the country.The advantages offered by verymany schools are limited, for tnereason that they are operatedupon small capital and are de-pendent upon one class of students for support. The eQuip-

ment of such schools fromnecessity is very meagre anOthe patronage will not justifya large and competent fac-ulty. Highland Park BusinessCollege is associated with High-land Park College, one of th"largest and best equipped schoolsin the country, .and businessstudents are placed under theinstruction of specialists in everybranch of their course.
