There arc lint few people , per
haps who have taken time lo con
sider what the new college build-
in ff in Brokf-n Bow means to our
city. Its value to the city and
surrounding country would be
hard to estimate in dollars and
cents and w > are not going to
try to fix the amount. But we
do believe that it lias a greater
value lo our community than
will ever be appreciated by a ma-

jority of our citizens. But few
towns in the United States the
size of Broken Bow are privilecig-
ed to have an institution of learn
ing such as Custer College and
none , prhaps , have as fine a
college building as the one
which is being rapidly pushed to
completion in order to be ready
for the fall term , which will
start September 21st. This of
fice is printing 2000 catalogs for
college and you can have one of
them by addressing Lorcn Cor-

Brief History of College.
Custer College was founded in
September 1900 by Prof. Lorcn
Cornett. At first , on account of
the feeling created by the failure
of the old business college , thcout
look was anything but eucourage-
ing. In fad in some quarters he
received discouragement even a-
husc although not in any way con
nected with the old school , But
he was not to be bafiled and with
optimistic spirit and ardent faith
in the success of his undertaking ,
by means of hard work and per
sistent effort , he has accomplish
ed his purpose , with the aid of
those who so liberally subscribed ,
and made it possible to hayc a
college and a building of which
all ma } ' be proud.
Enrollment Increasing.
The enrollment at first was on
ly twenty-six , but friends of the
school began to multiply and by
the close of the year the number
enrolled had reached
eighty-sev
en. Pleased students proved to
be the best kind of advertise
ment and i eople began to to gain
confidence in the school , so that
by the close of last year the total
enrollnuMit in all departments
reached over two hundred and
thirty-one. This is certainly a
most remarkable showing and
more than the most sanguine
could have hoped for.
Seven Departments.
The college maintains seven
departments : Business , Normal ,
Agricultural , Shorthand and
Typewriting , Music , Academic ,
Elocution and Oratory. It has
the advantage of having as able
a corps of teachers as any similar
school in the state.
The Faculty.
Prof. Lon-n Cornell , the presi
dent ofCustei College , has charge
of the Commercial work. He has
sp'irt a number ol years in the
icnce which proves a great
advantage to him as a commer
cial teacher.
Miss May Bcruschein , princi
pal of the Shorthand and Type
writing' ' Department , is a teacher
of more than ordinary qualifica
tions. She is mistress of three
leading systems of shorthand ,
has had actual experience in the
business office and the advantage
of four years experience as a
teacher of shorthand. Sha is cs-
