To Teachers and High Many teachers and high school graduates want to prepare for teaching the subjects of Bookkeeping, Shorthand and Typewriting, or prepare for business life. The Marion Normal Institue in addition to the High School, the Class A, Class B and C work, maintains a strong, practical business school. Hundreds of well prepared business men and women, and scores of teachers for commercial schools ard commercial departments in public schools have gone out from this institution. This department has a reputation for efficient work. It does not guarantee positions; no first class school does; but up to the present, never has a well prepared student failed to secure a place. We have many more calls for stenographers, bookkeepers and teachers than we are able to fill! Extraordinary Advantages Commercial students have the opportunity to take any regular branch in the other departments of the school without extra cost. They also have the advantage of the library and the social features of the institution. Expenses and Accommodations Expenses are very reasonable, much lower than in cities outside of a school community. Surroundings pleasant and attractive. A fine place to spend the spring and summer.
