OUR STUDENTS 



Are instructed in the management of instruments, batteries and 

 wire connections. We prepare them to send and receive both Com- 

 mercial and Railroad Telegraph Business, and graduate them when 

 they can copy from the sounders correctly twenty-five words per 



minute. 



OUR MANAGERS 



Are experienced railroad men, and familiar with the duties required 

 of railroad employes. 



Colonel D. U. Sloan, our manager, is widely and favorably known ; 

 was Atlanta's first 



TELEGRAPH OPERATOR; 

 *'an old-timer," forty years ago, and more recently for a number of 

 years, agent and operator for the R. & D. R. R.. assisted by his son, 

 who afterwards was Professor of Telegraphy in " Moore's Business 

 University" for four years, and since then has been Principal of 

 Sloan's Atlanta School of Telegraphy. He has proved himself a 

 successful teacher of others, as his numerous graduates who are 

 now filling positions of trust and profit, will most cheerfully attest. 



BUSINESS PROSPECTS 



For Telegraph Operators were never brighter than now. The great 

 number of railroads in operation, the many new ones in construc- 

 tion, the rapidly increasing business of the "New South" will 

 employ a vast army of Operators, and from the present outlook, the 

 day is far distant when an expert and reliable Telesraph Operator 

 will fail to command good remuneration for his services. Besides, 

 there is no trade or profession in this land that can be acquired at 

 so little expense of money and time that pays so well. Telegraphy 

 is a good business for the poor boy or girl, and might prove a bless- 

 ing for the children of the rich to fall back upon, in case their 

 wealth should take wings. 



QUALIFICATIONS. 



Any young person of either sex, with bright mind and ordinary 

 English education, is qualified to make a successful operator. 



TIME REQUIRED TO LEARN. 



The average time required to learn Telegraphy in our School has 

 been from three to four months, owing to the aptness and applica- 

 tion of the student. 



If you desire to learn Telegraphy, pay no attention to the boy- 

 cotters, the disciples of the ''Telegraphers' Brotherhood" or to the 

 0. R. T'.s, who are sworn to do all in their power to keep you from 

 learning Telegraphy, by fair or foul means. They are not your 

 friends, and their object is obvious. Come and investigate our 

 school and be your own judges.
