1. It is a question of the survival of the fittest. The Teutonic races that emigrated to America came with the intention of making it their final home. They wasted no time in futile attempts to find gold or “discover" something. They cleaned away the forest, they established farms and built cities.

It is needles to state that they incorporated into their local governments much that had its practice in the northern countries of Europe.

Nothing gives me more pleasure than to be afforded the opportunity of expressing my entire satisfaction with the substantial and beneficial results I obtained from Vories's Business College, and to speak of the school in the highest terms of praise. I can recommend the school as being thorough in its methods, well equipped and upto-date in every particular. After investigating several schools of the State, and particularly so of Indianapolis, I found Vories's Business College excelled by no other, as the coordinate methods used in this College of teaching touch typewriting and English together far excels any other method of instruction.

When I entered the school I studied Gregg's Shorthand, and with this marvelous system in just four months from that time I took court testimony; in five months I took a play at the Grand Opera House; and the sixth month I reported the Annual Meeting of The American Carnation Society, held in this city, for a Chicago paper. I feel proud of the record I made while in the V. B. C., and I am much gratified with the progress I am making in my present position with the Atlas Engine Works; and will say that it is due to the superior methods of instruction I received while attending this institution.
