Independent of the emulation which
inevitably springs up between the stu

Raise the Standard.

1t is high time that young men be dis
abused of the specious notion created by
some institutions, that to become a good
Commercial student requires but little
time and very little study. Ii should
rather be understood that iii takes as
many points to make a good merchant as
a doctor of laws" as thought De Burgo.
The man of business must be u man OF
thought, of discipline, of Knowledge
For the development of these the true
Commercial College has been established
Prodigies don't grow in all families, nor
in any without study. tod has SO or
dained it, and we have no regrets. If
men will be men, not pigmies, they must
work for the prize. Nothing can be
more ruinous to the interests and sue
cess of young men than the Iallacy wrong
fully held ont that eight or ten weeks are
alone sufficient TO master the mercantile
course, A little reflection ought to teach
any one the utter folly of such thing
But we don't wonder that short time and
little study are advocated along with Iii
minutiVe tuition.
We hold that the true standard of
business education must go up. 1t is a
demand of the times. General progress
requires it. The age will warrant it
and they who put the commercial scien-
ces where they belong, on the top shelf,
will be sustained by an enlightened com
munity. Anything is good enough where
there is nothing better. Rufus Choatcs
miserable scrawls would answer for CHI
geography if there were no better Other
systems of penmonship would satisfy the
demands of commerce now, as in former.

competing Spcncerion system. The old
style of Commercial schools used to an
swer the purpose, until the national chain
Of Colleges brought out into bold relief
the true basis of a proper business cdu.
cation.
We say, therefore, up with the stand
ard of commercial education, and meet
the demands Of a progressive commerce.
Business men will take the best qualified
into their employment True merit will
be appreciated. knowledge will win in
the long run. The time has gone by
when tue public were satisfied
with these imperfect and partial courses
Of study, Literary aud other schools are
raising the standard of education, and SO
must Commercial Colleges.
