“ Where There’s a Will
There’s a Way.’1
Cowardice sits and whines “I
can’t’; courage forces success. C.
A. Ward entered our school last year,
wi h only 35, to take a bookkeeping
and shorthand course. He paid this
on tuition and material, did janitor
work to pay the rest, worked on Sat-
urdays and at odd times to pay his
board, The day he grsduated, lie
had paid his tuition, all expenses, had
$20 cash, and a $5® a month posi-
tion, secured by the college, waiting
in him.
Such courage, determination as his
alwaya win reepset, admiration, aid,
success.
Another young man enrolled with
us with less than $10. He paid his
way board aud tuition, milking, cut-
ting wood, etc. Business meu admir
ed his pluck and aided him. 11..
completed, did the official reporting
of his district for four years, aud is o
day the respected head of a glowing
college.
Another young man quit work ia a
saw mill in debt, berrowed the money
to coine to out school for a c imbined
course of Bookkeeping and Short
hard, brought his wife with him and
d d light housekeeping. The day he
finished his course, we placed him iu
a good railroad position at $65 per
month, and he has advanced until lie
now getting more than $ 1 so per month
What would weakness, fear have
done for those young men? What
did stamina, will power do?
Emerson says, “Do what you at*
afraid to do;” we say strike out bold
ly—there are no obsticles that brave
hearts cannot surmount.
Toil is the Open Sesame to wealth
and the brightest crown is won in
the dust of the arena. What these
young men did you too can do.
Young frieud, begin making your
arrangements now to enter the Tyler
Commercial College of Tyler, Texas,
