                         BENJAMIN J. FERGUSON
     The American Penman (The leading Journal of the profession) has
this to say of Prof. Benn. J. Ferguson who is at the head of the
Waycross Business College:
     "Prof. B. J. Ferguson is a Virginian by birth.  He received his
education at the State Normal School, Athens, W. Virginia, the
University of Kentucky, the University of Valparaiso, Ind.  He also
holds certificates from the Phonographic Institute, Cincinnati, Ohio,
the Gregg School of Shorthand, Chicago, the Day School of Graham
Shorthand, Cleveland, Ohio, the Scott-Brown School of Commerce, New
York, and is a graduate of the Zanerian Art College, Columbus, Ohio,
the leading school of penmanship in America.
     He can teach and write the Pitman, _______ _______, Gregg and
Chartier _______ shorthand and is the author ________ Shorthand, a
system that is very brief and legible and so simple any one can learn
it.
     Professor Ferguson is an expert writer and has a wide and
successful experience as a commercial teacher.  He has taught in a
number of the leading commercial schools of the country.  He taught
business science for two years in the North Georgia Agricultural
College, Danlonega, Ga., and he brings with him the unqualified
endorsement of the entire faculty as the strongest commercial teacher
ever employed at the N. G. A. C., and as a man of character and high
degree of proficiency."
     Mrs. Ferguson, who will assist with the work in the Waycross
Business College, is a specialist in Typewriting as well as a
successful teacher of English and Shorthand.  She has taught in a
number of the leading schools and colleges of the country, and is
perhaps the most successful typewriter teacher in the South.
     With such teachers at the helm, the Waycross Business College is
bound to become a leading factor in the commercial education of the
South.
