A Successful Essex County Institution 
The Growth of Lynn Bur- 
dett College Phenomenal 
JX these days of educational fads and innovations with 
only untried newness to recommend them, when ex- 
perimental guesswork is almost epidemic, it is refreshing 
to chronicle the steady growth of one of our successful 
Essex County institutions, which, because it was founded 
in educational sense, has grown to be the largest of its 
kind, outside of Boston, in New England. The present 
year it has been found imperative materially to increase 
its capacity. The success is due, not only to what it has 
itself accomplished, but to the hearty co-operation and 
‘support which it has received from business men, who 
are never influenced by other than a substantial proof of 
efficiency. 7 
The City of Lynn may be justly proud of Burdett 
College. Housed in its own building, erected solely for 
educational purposes, it has given the young people of 
our county every possible opportunity to enter business 
equipped to meet its requirements. 
A Burdett College graduate is a marked man or 
woman, is always in demand, and never has to wait for 
a position. The reason is obvious. Our business men 
know the experience and efficiency which come from a 
Burdett education, and they are confident that one trained 
in that institution will be able to immediately assume 
responsibility, to begin, not as an apprentice, but several 
steps up the business ladder, and that he will not require 
that constant watchfulness which is at once annoying and 
unprofitable to the employer. 
The Burdett student begins to do business the mo- 
ment he enters the school. He is taught business by do- 
ing business. His time is not wasted by useless study 
and merely mechanical practice. He is given only what 
can be used in business, and is brought into direct contact 
with what will have to be done when he is in the business 
world. 
WAMPSCOTT, although the second week is nearly 
gone and the foliage is just beginning to show the 
tinges of yellow and red on her beautiful avenues, has 
few other evidences of the complete waning of the sum- 
mer season, for there are still a great many guests at the 
hotels and the cottage colony has not even begun to think 
of leaving for the city. The season of 1916 has been 
unprecedented as to the number of guests who visited 
here, to the large cycle of social functions and to the 
tremendous amount of war relief work which the ladies 
_ accomplished. 
Quite the prettiest matinee bridge and luncheon of the 
season was given at the Neighborhood club last Friday 
when Mrs. George F. Baldwin of Chicago, who makes 
the New Ocean House at Swampscott her summer hone, 
was hostess to sixteen of her friends. The clubhouse 
was a profusion of beautiful cut flowers. Gladioli in vari- 
colors in large’ vases decorated the reception room. 
Daisies, brown-eyed in large quantities were used for 
decoration in the card room, while wicker baskets of 
roses of the various color tones adorned the tables in the 
dining room. A string orchestra gave a concert during 
luncheon. The guests of honor were Mrs. Frank May 
of Chicago, niece of Philip D. Armour of Chicago, and 
Miss Josephine Chapin, also of Chicago. Mrs. Baldwin 
was very charming in a beautiful gown of green crepe 
over gold lace with touches of gold embroidery at the 
bodice. She wore a stunning green satin hat with green 
tulle fluting and beaded ornaments. Among the guests 
Lynn Burdett College is not merely an educational 
institution. It is a place of business with every facility 
for the training of those who would enter business. 
Every teacher is a specialist of both academic and _ busi- 
ness experience; every room is filled with the atmosphere 
of accomplishment and of business-doing. The student 
maintains his or her individuality and is treated individ- 
ually, advancing as ability and studiousness allow, not 
being held back by any class average. The whole school 
belongs to each pupil. All that is in it is his. 
In the Burdett auditorium the students come into 
close contact with our ablest business and_ professional 
men, and from them they learn what is to be expected of 
them when they enter business. ‘I‘hey do not listen to 
mere lectures, but are given insight into business-doing 
by the business men themselves, who actually do business 
before them, under the direction of Mr. Nathaniel C. 
Fowler, Jr., the business expert and author of 31 standard 
books, who is repeating in the Lynn College the success 
which has been made at his Laboratory of Business at 
Burdett College in Boston. Associated with Mr. Fowler 
in this work are 127 of the ablest business and profes- 
sional men of Boston, Lynn, and vicinity, including col- 
lege presidents and professors, bankers, manufacturers, 
merchants, and eninent men of every class. Many of 
these men of mark will appear during the present school 
year at the Laboratory of Business at Burdett College, 
Lynn. 
Lynn Burdett College is located opposite the Lynn 
Depot, and its building is the largest and best equipped of 
any educational institution of its class in the vicinity. 
The Principal extends a most cordial invitation to young 
people, their parents and friends, to inspect the building 
and its unusual and complete facilities.

B. Palmer, Mrs. Arthur Blood, Mrs. E. W. LaCroix, 
Mrs. John Tapley, Mrs. Robert Kimball, Mrs. Eleanor 
George, Mrs. Frank B. Fay, Mrs. Frank Spinney and 
Mrs. Frank H. Gage. 
One of the hostesses of the week at the Tedesco club 
was Mrs. J. M. Farquhar of Ocean avenue, who enter- 
tained very charmingly at a luncheon and bridge party. 
Covers were laid for twelve. After the luncheon a bridge 
game was enjoyed. 
The Board of Governors at the Tedesco club enjoyed 
a dinner at the clubhouse on Tuesday evening which was 
followed by a business meeting. p 
Members of the Woman’s Golf association were visi- 
tors at the Tedesco club on Thursday, enjoying a game 
on the splendid links and later partaking of luncheon in 
the clubhouse. ~ About forty members were present. 
Invitations have just been issued for an elaborate 
dinner-dance to be given at the Tedesco club on Saturday 
evening, Sept. 23rd, by Mr. and Mrs. Wliliam Converse 
Chick of Swampscott. About one hundred and fifty invi- 
tations have been sent out. It will undoubtedly be one of 
the most brilliant social functions of the season, 
James M. Whiting of Boston, who makes his sum- 
mer home at the Tedesco club, entertained on Thursday 
evening at a dinner-dance at the clubhouse, which was at- 
tended by about one hundred notables of Lynn, Swamp- 
scott and Marblehead. The clubhouse was beautifully 
decorated with greenery and cut flowers. A sumptuous
