Now let'a consider these undodgeable facta about BOYLF.S COLLEGE: BOYL.E8 COLLEGE haa an enrollment now and haa had during the entire rear, 114-1 ai 1. of more Omaha students and more outof town etudenta, than all other Omaha buslnea colleges. It simply could not have done this unless It had proved Itself the beat bunlnne college In Omaha. BOYLES COLLEGE Is the only buelnesa college In Omaha that owna and oc cupies solely for business college purposes a building of Ita own. Parents who take an Interest In tha selection of a wholesome, healthful In stitution will be Interested in knowing that BOYLES COLLEGE BUILDING la kept absolutely clean at all timea by means of vacuum cleaners; the rooms are oiled with a sanitary odorless preparation which absorbs the dust; tha sup ply of air la constantly refreahed by the Pullman system of ventilators; there la light, bright, wholesome sunlight everywhere; sanitary drinking fountalna have been Installed, and individual drinking cupa are provided for those who desire them. The free gymnasium la a big, airy room well equipped with ap paratus for exercise. Occasionally a local business college advertises that It turna out mora court reporters than other schools, but when you find out tha facta you will perceive that that school can point with pride ?) to Just one official court reporter in the whole atate of Nebraska. That position was secured for tha young man before he aver learned shorthand that he would have gotten the position if ha had attended any school In the land. So what does this great beating of Tom Toma over a simple fact amount to, before 4 he proven claima of BOY LBS COL LEGE, as a superior court reporting school, (contained In the 110-111 Year Book) as well as a superior business training school, a superior telegraphy school, and a superior Civil Service Training Institute. The proof, too, la un controvertible that for every single court reporter that haa been turned out bv any other achool In the whole state of Nebraska, BOYLES COLLEGE haa tuned am aooree. The facta are that what are considered simple Incidents In the curriculum and results of BOYLES COLLEGE, are occasions for great ecstaolse oa the part of some smaller and weaker collages. BOYLES COLLEGE now has enrolled for the full term four times as many students as any other Omaha Institution. Now what does this prove? It proves most emphatically that BOYLES COIy LEOK is tha favored business college , in Omaha. THE OVERWHELMING FAVORITE.

It was the needs ot the college which was In mind, and the high schools were au thoritatively told what they should teach and how much. The collegea set the stan dard; they dictated the subjects, even se lecting the texts In Engtlsh literature to be taught. The college was master; the high school was servant. But ft could not last, declares the Inde pendent discussing this subject, and the sesalon of the National Educational asso ciation at San Francisco records the re bellion. And why should they not rebel? The high school has had a tremendous growth In these few years. In the two last decades high school attendance has Increased almost fourfold. The high school Is the people's university. The overwhelm, lng majority of boys and girls do not go beyond. It. If but one In twenty of the graduates of the high school goes to col lege. It Is too much to ask that the high achool curriculum should be dictated for the advantage of the 5 per cent. There must be considered also the advantage of the very large number who are unable to complete the high school course. The special committee appointed by the National Educational association last year accordingly gave the high school the prece dence, and bade the colleges follow after. They hold to the fifteen educational units, but not for the college primarily. They make much vocational Instruction In me chanic arts, agriculture, or demosetlc science, which they regard as "rational elements In the education of all boys and girls, and especially of those who have not as yet chosen their vocations." Accord lng they allow from the total fifteen units four units for such vocational Instruction, but they are careful to add. "or for addi tional academic work." So there Is a choice left, and the curriculum should be flexible. The courses are divided into ma jors and minors, and each student Is ex pected to complete two majors of three units each, and one minor of two units. This leaves room for the vocational studies, snd for such other studies as will be re quired by the boys snd girls who expect to go to college. We take It that the full fif teen units now required for entrance to college would not Include the four voca tional units. Beyond question It would be an advan tage to every student entering college If ha or she has had a course In agriculture, tha mechanic arts or domestic science, but he needs a good deal more. He cannot now give to these studies the four units allowed in the high school course, and the colleges cannot well accept them In making up the complement without lower ing the standard. The chief purpose of the college Is not vocational but cultural. And yet the chief purpose of the high school Is not to fit youth for college, nor Is It simply for culture; It should be for both. Those who do not go beyond the high school should be allowed to pursue the vocational studies, so as to be better farmers, mechanics and home-keepers; but other special studies should be pro vided for those who need them. The high school Is the most democratic Institution we possess. It Is the chief ren education of the most of our people. Real education begins In the high school. It tremendous development will not be stayed, nd It must supply whst the bulk of the people need. To be sure It doea net give a complete eejratlon. and the chief leaders oi punnc me, our uiinsers enorguiaee. win be those pre-emtnently who have passed from the high school on to the college and university. Education has no limit, but for the bulk of the people the high school will be their university, snd democ racy will rest on It. For a comparatively small number of Its graduates of excep tional ambition or opportunity It will open narrow door by which to pass up to higher halls of study, but for the multi tude It win open a broad gateway into the activities of life. No limit can be set to Its development, certslnly no limit can be set by the college.
