This college is one of the great
Association of Colleges, a chain of thirty to
links extending throughout the coun-
try, popularity known as Bryant and STRAIT
toms National Chain, Of Business Colleges.
The institution here Is TrsctiGally indepen-
dent, and, under the management Of E. R.
FELTON,, Esq aided by an efficient corps of
instructors, is in a very fl%ourishing condi-
tion. The daily roll call of the students is
now about one hundred and seventy. The
attendance through the winter will not fall
short Of three hundred. s44vuUasu
The design q this institaton and Of all
such colleges is, to furnish young men the
facilities Of a thorough business education,
so that without serving a tedious appren-
ticeship, they may early enter upon careers
of usefulness, profit and honor. The expe-
rience of mankind has eliminated in GER
tain definite business rules and customs,
which have acquired the certainty of laws.
A science has been founded on these, and
this science, and its practice, is that which
the young man seeks in these'eolleges and
comes upon at once. For the student finds,
in this colleges society ihi miniature. He
finds Trade in all its forms and phases. The
game is run out into every possible detail.
There is not a branch of business, but he
sees its operations, and must acquire its
,.z1o-Fa- - IL b1;,. n-5+I ~. 49,,
plest transactions, with the rudiments of
business, and advances to the most compH-
| Gated operations. There is Bot a single
kind of business but it is taught, in all its
details and relations, with matchiess thor
oughness, in this college.
To give a clearer idea of the college, we
will conduct the reader through it. We
come first to the rEekTrIl
TNITIAToRT DEPARTMENT,
which is under the superintendent of Miss
A I, Terrell. She has been in charge of
this department a year, and been eminently
successful as a teacher. Penmanship and
the theory of accounts are taught here.
When the pupil has mastered the rudiments,
so to speak, he is advanced to the
l. g4lt. THEORETICAL DEPARTMENT. g...s
Here they are instructed by Mr.. John NJ.
Drake, in railroading. forwarding, steam
boating and in arithmetic and theoretical
bookkeeping. When the theory has been
acquired, the student passes under the tuition
of Mr.. Morris j.. Drake, teacher of banking,
commission and practical bookkeeping.
He is drilled in these until the processes be-
come perfectly familiar. The theoretical
and practical are combined. Every sort Of
business is transacted in the class, underline
immediate inspection Of Messrs. J. Nelson
Ashburn and John NJ. Drake. Every
detail, done on paper, passes under the
eve of these instructors. The class are not
left to themselves to transact mock business
and run the risk of committing errors, as in
some self-vaunted colleges. Every paper
transaction being thus passed under a mi
eroseope, as itwere, the pupil must grow up
into correct and assured business habits.
This is the strong point the GROWING merit,
of this college. Students are drilled in the
theory and practice of every conceivable
branch of business, under the constant eye
Of v~igilant teachers, until they are "dyed in
the wool, and they of necessity graduate
finished, perfec, business men. We cannot
conceive of any course of instruction more
searching than that pursued here, and Ger,
tsinly no business college in the country
has q better record, or may take a justel
pride in her graduates, Than this of Mr.
Felton's. .s

the most perfect in vogue. No other eoIIeg,
in the country, We are assured by compe
tent judges, has a 1.-THE of the merit, il
these particulars, which this institution
claims,
We must not fail to inspect the
TELEGRAPH DEPARTMENT,
which is under the general superintendent,
of H. NJ. stager, Esq with Mr.. G.. c. Eel
ton practical instructor. 1t is pronounced
the most complete department of the kind
in the country. One hundred pupils car
be accommodated. The office is furnished
with -four registers on which students Iearr
the alphabet and writing, and nine instru
ments on which advancement is made by
them, sqeqessively, to reading on paper and
by sound. A commercial line has been es.
tablished, with eight offices, on which 6
knowledge of all kinds of telegraph bust
ness is, acquired. Also a railroad line, with
SIX Offices, for teaching railroad telegraph.
keeping train reports, &c. Wires
are to be extended to Offices in
various parts of the building, each
office Standing for a city with which
business is to be transacted. There are
thirty-fFe instruments on these two lines,
furnishing ample accommodations for a
class of one hundred members. The whole
science and art of telegraphing may be
learned here in perfection.
Nh. FELTON,, the Principal is fitting up
the old Law College apartment, in Rouse's
Block, as an adjunct of his establishment in
NOrthrop's Block. The large influx of
students makes this extension necessary. 1t
will also necessitate an addition to the
corps of instructors. Mr.. C. E.. Wilber will
be at the head Of the Pen1nshshiP depart
ment this winter, assisted by Messrs. J. A.
Jones and A. P. Root. The institution is
heurishing under the admirable superin-
tendance of Mr.. B. R, FELTON,, and is -ae7
complishihg great and good results. We
have no hesitation in declaring it the best
institution of the kind in this region. We
wish it abundant success.
