The superiority Of Penmanship of our
college has been acknowledged wherever
'ur work has been exhibited. Among the
many premiums and diplomas which VIC
have received, we would with much satis-
faction mention the following: The first
Premium for Business Penmanship at the
Wisconsin State Fair held at GAINESVILLE,
over competition from Milwaukee, Chicago,
Syracuse and other points. The Diploma
of the New England Agricultural Society
held at Concord. A Diploma from the
Mechanics Fair held at Boston, &c. We

THY to you my appreciation OF the value
and usefulness Of the thorough and emf.

system used in your Institution.
The knowledge of Book keeping, Science

eHce there obtained is precisely what is
needed in business. The reality seems
but continuation of the course there pur.
sued. The great feature of your system
is considered to be its practical character
introducing as it does all the details OF
every day business, yet with everything
IN its proper place, and with such practical
examples that nothing is superfuous and all
is perfectly plain to the dullest scholar as
essential IN the successful performance OF
business.

OF more value in giving students clear in
sights into the manner of conducting bus
mess transactions and informing them in
the details of business than months in stu
dying text books.

Having enjoyed the advantages of a
practical business education at your Col
leee I feel it my duty to write word in
It's commentator. From examination of
the system and the course of instruction
in other Institutions, | am more and more
convinced that the Bangor College, under
your thorough instruction and able man
agement, is not only the most comprehen-
sive, but the most practical of any am
acquainted with. l am at present engag-
ed in an extensive produce and commission
business, and find application daily Of the
principles you so well inculcated and
which will be of lasting value to me.
The knowledge obtained of Commercial
Law, as explained by your able lecturer
in that department, more than pays for a
full course at your Institution.
1t is my earnest advice to all about to
engage in mercantile pursuits, if they wish
the best of instruction, embracing all
forms of business transactions, and at the
very lowest rates, to avail themselves OF
the advantages offered at your Institution
Wishing you continued success in your
laudable enterprise | remain,
Very respectfully yours,

DEPARTMENT

Presents unrivalled facilities for those
wishing to become familiar with the
workings Of the magic wire.
The Telegraph--still the wonder
OF the worlds no longer an insti-
tuition to be resorted to ONLY in cases
of great emergency. At the present
time a great part, if not the greater
part, of commercial correspondence
is carried on through its agency.
How advantageous a knowledge
Of the workings and of the various
causes Of the frequent Interruptions
to the workings of the wires, would
be to those who daily patronizc them.
Perhaps no institution in this coun-
try so extensively patronized is so
little understood by its patrons.
The vast extent of the wires over
the country is almost fabulous. In
your travels by railroad or over the
more secluded highway, the suspend
cd wire is your constant companion,
reminding you even in the most
drcary spot, that you are not beyond
the reach Of civilization. The length
of wire represented by only three of
the largest Companies amounts to
over ninety thousand go, 000) miles
or sufficient to wind around the world
nearly four times. To operate and
keep III repair these lines requires an
army Of men. The operator occupies
the most responsible and confidential
positions in the business community.
To him are often necessarily in
trusted the secret affairs of the mcr-
chant as well as those more sacred
in the family relations, to diyulgc
which would impair the financial
success Of the one. and disturb the
harmony Of the other. He should
possess qualities not found in all
men. \ quick, active, pcrceptive
mind, to render lima expert, with
sterling integrity, strict regard for
the duties Of his Office, that his trust
may be kept ineiolatc.
Good operators possessing these
qualities, to fill lucrative and desire
able offices are in constant demand.
The facilities which this College
affords for acquiring a practical
knowledge of telcgraphing, are un.
surpassed by any telegraph institute
which we have ever visited. The
wires are carried through every room
in the College, and five stations are
IN constant operation.
In transmitting a message from one
room to another throughout the Col
lcgc, the same sound is produced for
the ear, and the same characters for
the eye of the reader. that would be
produced i'll transmitting a message
from one point to another over the
various lines that span the country,
and the same motions are made by
the hands of the operatives on the
transmitting keys. In short, every
thing to make up thorough system
of Geographic communication. can
be found in our College, excepting
the changes in the electrical current
produced by the varying atmosphere.

VALUE OF ACCuRACY.--It is the result
of every days experience, that steady at
tention to matters of detail lies at the root
Of human progress, and that diligence, a.
bove all, is the mother Of good luck. Ac-
curacy also is Of much Importance, and
an invaluable mark of good training in
man-accuracy in observation, accuracy
in speech, accuracy in the transaction of
affairs. What is done in business must
be well done; for it is better to accom-
plish perfectly q snail amount Of work
than TO half do ten times as much. A
wise man used to say, "Stay little, that
we may make an end the sooner" Too
little attention, however is paid to this
highly important quality of accuracy
Asa man eminent in practical science once
said to me, at is astonishing how few peo-
pie | have met in the coarse Of my expe-
Renee who can define fact accurately"

1t is especially desired that each student
should have regular place of worship,
