THE COLLEGE COURSE,
which is designed to embrace all branches
PURELY MERcANT1LE, has been recently enlarged
and can now be regarded as one of the most
lengthy, thorough and complete ever intro
duced to the public in any similar Institution
in the United States.
THE BOOE&-EzEER1NG DEPART
embraces three distinct grades, viz InitiatoTy,
Regular and Extended Courses and taught on
Folsom's New METHOD. recommended by over
TWENTY of the most reliable PRACTICAL ACCOUNT
ANTS of Cleveland,
TIE NEW METHOD OF TEACHING
strikes at the very terminating points of the
Science, revealing the great natural two-fold
division of the Ledger, whereby is seen the
proper line of demarkation between Real and
Representative Property and the governing
law of transfer, as regards it affecting the two
classes of accounts, and those of the same class
in every variety of transactions, thus stripping
this most useful and beautiful science of much
of its timehonored mysteries, made such by ar
bitrary and infallible rules, meaningless forms
and false notions and hence enables the stu
dent to acquire correct notions of accounts as
embodied in actual practice.
THE INETHATOXY COURSE
embraces a regularly progressive series ofman-
uscript cards. classified somewhatas to the va
riety of transactions. 1t aims to develop the
first principles and philosophy of Accounts,
rather than mere routine and actual formula,
by addressing the reason and judgment of the
student, who studies with the view of appre-
hending and arriving at results, and so pushes
on his investigations with much greater conf
dence, pleasure and Independence.
TRE EREGGLAES COURSE
is intended TO represent every species of bust
,,o-s frOp, +ha cu,,1loc+ Recall 70 tla heaviest
and most intricate of Wholesale and Commis-
sion, as we'll as Banking, RailroadiDg, etc, de-
manded, at present, by our vast and constant
ly increasing Commerce.
THE EXTENDED COURSE
embraces lengthy practical sets from the vari-
Gus business firms, and is designed for ssch
students as may wish to spend longer than the
time required by the Regular Course, (and
that gratuitouslyJ preparatory to entering some
special House.
Bytaking in addition the Extended Course,
the student will be faithfully and proftabIy
employed six months.
PENHGANSEEZP,
PRACTICAL AND ORNAMENTAL, in all its varieties,
will be taught in the most thorough and eff
cient manner by one of the best teachers in the
West. Besides the usual method ofteaching
Business Writing, the Chirhythmographic Sys-
TEN will also be taught. This system, so pop
ular, and recommended by our best education
al men, is now taught in the Public Schools of
Cleveland, Columbus and Toledo. Many 9TH
er places are open for good teachers of Chi
r~hythrnography as soon as they can be quail
fed.

The new suit of rooms of this College, occu
pies the finest location in the city, situated as
they arr on the corner of Public Square and
Superior street, stfording a fair view of most
parts of the city and the lake. The rooms are
neatly and tastefully furnished, surprising in
beauty and convenience perhaps those of any
similar Institution in the Union.
THE LADIES.COURSEis the same as that
of the Gentlemen, affording equal facilities to-
all ladies who may wish to avail themselves
of the Commercial Course.
The Principal having an extensive business
acquaintance is enabled tn secure good situa-
tions for many of his graduates.
