WE TAKE pleasure in announcing
that our Telegraph Department is in charge of a thoroughly competent
Instruction, who has had years of experience as a railroad and
Commercial Telegrapher.
The
Telegraph room is elegantly fitted up. all the furniture is of
hard wood, the long tables being divided by glass partitions.
The equipment consists of twenty-seven regular line Instruments of
the latest pattern, Switch-boards, Relays, Battery-cases,
Typewriters, etc.
The
Course of Study consists of Telegraphy, Typewriting, Grammar,
Spelling, Penmanship, and Station Agent Work in our Business
Department, where the Students ship and receive Goods by Freight,
send Telegrams, etc. |
|
We wish to have it distinctly understood that we do not teach
Telegraphy merely from books, but from actual experience, and teach
exactly what is needed in every-day Railroad and Commercial Work.
Our
Students are taught to handle Train Orders, and all kinds of
Commercial Work, as well as to perform all the duties of a Station
Agent, such as making Way Bills, Bills of Lading, Expense Bills,
etc., such as are now in use on all standard Railroads. Our
Students are also taught to take the Message from the Instrument on
the Typewriter, which system is now in use in all large
Cities. "Machine" Operators always receive the
largest salaries. |
|
OFFICE WORK |
| In addition to the
thorough and practical instruction received in Telegraphy,
Typewriting, Grammar, and Spelling, each Student in this
Department is required to serve as Telegraph Operator in the
three Offices of the Commercial Telegraph Company, and as
Agent in the two Freight Offices of the Business College
Railorad. In these Offices are found the forms generally
used by Telegraph and Railroad Companies. In the Freight
Offices, Sets of Railroad Books are used. Hence, it will
be seen that our Students, in addition to receiving thorough
and practical instruction in Telegraphy and other Branches,
are also given actual practice in Office Work, such as cannot
be found in any other similar School in the West. |
