COLUMBUS MERCANTILE CoLLEGE.-This
aourishing Institution, under the charge OF
Messrs. w. II. Bush and w. j. Marshall, is
located in Deshler's building, on the corner
of High and Town streets. Under the con-
troll of these able professors, assisted by
competent teachers, this Business College
is gradually, but surely winning its way to
public favor and patronage. 1t has been in
operation for some months, and its pupils
and graduates have proved the value and
benefit of the instructions and practical
lessons they received at the Institution.
We cannot be expected, in "a briet news
paper notice, to give even an outline of the
course of study and discipline laid down by
Messrs. Bush and Marshall. We must, for
this, as well as for minor details, refer the
reader to the gentlemen themselves. But
we'may state in general that the great OBJ
ject of the Columbus Mercantile College
the object kept steadily in view and to
which every study, lecture and exercise is
made subservient-is to fit persons OF both
sexes forproperly discharging their duties
and acting well their parts In the great
business world. Of course, theinstructions
given aud the practical lessons impaired
are varied to suit each individual case and
the particular pursuit any one may have
In view.
One feature Of this Institution pleases
us much. It Is that the students are not
hampered by being partitioned off into
classes. No one.is forced into an unwhole-
some and exhausting speed in order to keep
up with others, nor is any one hindered and
put back in his onward march by the slow
progress OF somebody else. Thus, is a
great and sore evil in the system of classi-
tying students avoided. ''@
The Columbus Mercantile College studies
and exercises take a wide range. They
embrace all that is necessary to be known
tob thoroughly qualified for any kind Of
business; for instance Merchandizing
Banking, Railroading, Steamboating, and
for the multifarious transactions in
large Business Houses of every de-
scription. Telegraphing is made q spe-
ciality in the Institution, and facili-
ties are afforded to pupils to enable
them to become thoroughly and .prac-
tically sound operators. Instruction Is
impaired in Book Keeping according to
the most approved methods; in Mathemat-
les; in Peninanship, which is taught with
special reference to practical use; in Bank
Note Engraving and detecting of counter
felt money; in Mercantile Law and Com
inercial forms and usages; and in fact, In
every thing that may tend to afford the best
qualifications and discipline for an active
and successful business life.
We commend this enterprise Of Messrs
Bush and Marshall as one deserving the en-
enlargement and fostering patronage Of the
public. They offermeans and facilities by
which good general business education,
cr.one fitting the student for some special
calling, may be acquired at a much cheaper
rate, and ID q much shorter time, than by
the ordinary course pursued. sp2h
