Both teachers and st.udcnts retttl'ned to their work fired with new zeal and thc out- look for a succcssful . . term is very n ] a tteri ng' . It was nearly eleven years ago that Prof. Barrctt came to this city and ; founded the institution. In that time hc hag demonstrated thc fact that hc can give any young man or young woman a first class business training and at a rate of tuition form $20 to 530 cheaper than is charged at at any other good business col- lcgc. The growth of the school affords abundant evidence of this fact. At present thc attendance is larger than ever before , and the accommodations afforded by thc building arc taxed to thc lini A school must be known to bc a good one before people will send their sons and slaughters there to secure the education that is to meat : so much to them in after years. That the Fal1s City business college ] ] has such a reputation cannot bc doubted because - cause from a humble beginning its growth has been steady and well ] ] marked from year to , ycar. In our opinion the succcss of the business college ] ] is due largely to the fact that all thc pupils arc treated alike and one receives as much benefit as anothcr. Prof. Barrett accomplished this end by a system 01 Private instruction , enabling thc backward students to il\'oid the cmbarras mcnt which naturally ] ] arises from an inability to keep up with classcs. A know- ledge of thc feeling that exists between principal and student shows another reason for thc pop- ularity of the school. \Vhilc Prof. Barrett demands at all times thc best work the pupil is capable of doing , he is at all times one of them , has their best interest at heart , works with but one aim and that is to scnd out young men and young wom' n prepared to enter thc avenue of the world's activity and to fight the battle and win it. 'l"his year thc enthnsias111 is even more marked than ever , and where such enthusiasm prevails - vails in a school , good work must result. The Falls City Bus- incss College has long Passed the experimental stag'c. It has de- velopcd into a sound cducatonal institution , with graduates successfully - cessfully holding responsible pos- itions all over thc count.ry. Its sphere of usefulness ] is gradually widcning' It is a credit not only to Prof Barrctt , whose untiring efforts has dcveloped it , but to the city and the community generally ] ] as wcll. . . . . . . , . - - - - - - - ' - - - " " - - - - - - ' - Mrs Heckler De . = ' \ o Mrs. Mary ' J. lIccklcr - , her home in Waukomis , O. h. : . and ; her remains were brought to this city , the funeral services be- ing' held from thc Christian ' , church on 'Vcdnesda\ The news . of .Mrs. Hec1dcrs death brought sorrow to time hearts of many friends who Inlcw her during r ' ' , !
