NEW COLLEGE AT LOGANSPORT

Young Lady Opens Private College and|Wants Pupils Who Desire Service of Qualified Teacher. Logansport Exchange: While a number of people have been tearing their hair in an en-_. deavor to locate business enter*"' prises in our city, a young lady of modest, retiring disposition came quietly into the city, looked the field over and decided that she would cast her lot with the busi ness and educational interests here. Without any flourish ot trumpets she rented the second floor over the Logansport Loan & Trust Co., Pearl and Broadway, and fitted it up for a private business college It was not until after all this preliminary work had been arranged that this business lady made her name and plans known to the citizens ot our city and county She is Miss I. C. Campbell late private secretary to President Sherzee of Oxford (Ohio) Univeisity for Women.

Miss Campbell’s first work as an educator was ten years ago, when she became assistant instructor in the commercial department of the Manual Training School, Indianapolis. She severed her connection with this school to take the principal ship of the commercial and short hand department ot Muskingun (Ohio) College. From here she went to be private secretary to the president ot Oxford, as above stated While filling that position she conceived the idea of launching a school of her own. Putting the de sire into action she established a private school in Ohio and conduct ed it for sometime, when she Sold out at a handsome figure. She then set about for another location, and decided.that Logansport afforded a field for her.

Miss Campbell does individual instructing in bookkeeping, shorthand and typewriting. Her work is highly spoken of, and it is said that when a pupil finishes under ner he is fully equipped to take and hold responsible positions. ” Students may enroll at any time. The classes will be small and the students thus recite several times each day, and are therefore not held back waiting for others who do not advance so rapidly. This is indeed a great advantage, for what one person can accomplish in a few weeks it may require months for another to accomplish. ,Mies Campbell brings with her the best of references, and there is little doubt but what she will succeed here, for there are many that prefer to send their children to a private school. Miss Campbell only accepts such pupils as she-as-sures herself are of the highest moral standard. This is indeed a splendid safeguard to throw around your son or daughter.
