Commercial Colleges. THO pATHEB AND OTHER. What are you going to do with your Boys and Girls'/ Wo mean the young people who are just leaving school. You have no doubt received our letters recently, in which we told you many things of interest to your children and now that the youngsters nave left school it reals with you to see that they get a good start in life, a start which will help them in every subsequent step they may take. For the next few years at any rate the responsibility of their movements is yours, and we know that in after years it will be gratifying to you to know that in the initial stages of their business life you did "the best thing'' for them. It has been proved times out of number that, no matter what profession your children may choose to follow, they will always succeed more surely in such profession if they start off with a commercial training—and we can give you many examples in Auckland to-day where (his statement has been borne out in actual fact. We know that you would like your son and your daughter to go straight into an office or warehouse from school, and draw a salary which would help to keep the young party at once, but it is a bad policy, and you would quickly find out that your children were very severely handicapped, and that they compared badly with other young people who had sacrificed their earnings for six months that they might attend first of all one of the Commercial Training Colleges in Auckland. Now, you do not want your child to be handicapped in this way merely for the sake of a few pounds, say for six months. Your child has a long time to live, and six months won't be a. very big slice out of Ihe whole time, and in that six months, if you will send your boy or girl along to us. we can very safely say that we shall so train him or her that before the year is out they will , be receiving a far better salary than I you ever dreamed of. Our system of Commercial Training must not be judged by the past standard of Auckland College history. Our training is based upon the most modern methods employed at the present time in London and New York. We take hold of each student separately, study character and temperament, and then apply knowledge individually. i>ersonal!y. and with as much of the element of human sympathy as the student is capable of absorbing. We will make more of your child in six months than it would he possible for that child to acquire in its narrow groove in any one section of an office or warehouse, and the knowledge gained will be of such service that in after years hn or she will never be found a', a. disadvantage in any sphere of business. Now, the point is this: Can you afford to allow this opportunity to pass by? The child is only young once, and youth is the period for acquiring knowledge. You were once young yourself, and you know that the knowledge acquired between the age of 15 and 20 has very largely constituted the foundation of your business —whether for good or evil and remembering this, t you see the necessity of attending to the early influence which will • work for the good or evil of your child's future days. There is a place in our College for your boy and girl. Won't you come and see it? Won't you take the elevator and snare p. few moments of your htoch hour just to see where your children should by every right spend a few months amongst us? If you would only call in at the second floor of Smeeton's Buildings we could so much better tell you personally how glad we shall be to have the care of the childrentn '•are for them in every way — give them new Remingtons to learn upon—give them kind words of encouragement provide them with luncheon conveniences —and. best of all. influence them to crow un into men and women of high moral as well as high commercial development. The Remington College is the best. _in New Zealand, best in machinesthe world-famous Remington—best in appointments, best in discipline, and in variety of subiects. Do you know that we teach more types of modern office methods and appliances thun any one College either _ in Europe, America, or Australasia? This is a large statement but it is correct.
