A Few Points.


GRAFTON of young men contemplating q Com
mercial Education. 1t Is highly important that
your first step be taken Alright. Be sure you
decide upon the institution that will best serve
your purpose. We are satisfied that many
young men do not appreciate the vital points in
this matter. Many are led by high sounding
impossibilities, coming from men that DO not
scrnple to employ any form of advertising, in
truth or untruth, even to the lowering Of per-
sonal dignity, to attract the attention OF young
men. Many choose between Institutions upon
the sole argument that the scholarship is few
dollars cheaper in this than in that.
We well know that economy in all things IS
desirable; frugalty is virtue; but it requires
wisdom to economic rightly To buy cheap
article is not always economy. There is no truth
more pungent than this: "the cheapest is not
altcays the best .s ..
Commercial Colleges arc becoming very nu-
merous. They each claim superior merit. There
is. however, work enough for oil. The result Of
this multiplicity is this: the standard of train
ing s raised, and that institution will ultimately
succeed best which proves itself most thorough
and effectual in its course Of training.
We desire at all times to place our claims be-
fore the public in modesty and truth. In this
feeling content, il the use of honorable,
straightforward means, based upon merit, does
not secure us patronage, we will not seek 1t
otherwise In eur labors the first object in view
is our duty. . sa 'aa44is
&c The Burlington College has but one work be-
fore it--Business training Its efforts are not
divided between multiplied studies and varied
courses IT'S course Of training presents in the
most thorough manner oil the subjects requisite
to the end to be attained s-g. p To.
P3 1t is already established 1t is fitted up IN
the most complete manner. Its Banks, ofhcet
and Business Houses are in perfect running or
der. 1t lacks nothing that is needed for thor
ough, practical course. Business, as actually
done. is illustrated daily through the medium
abundant Offices and apparatus
Is 1t is not an institution known only in lis owl
neighborhood, or in its own State. 1t is one o
forty eight connected Colleges, sustaining an en-
b.yiable national reputation, known and endorse
Inv the most eminent business men and educator
throughout the country.
~ The scholarship issued is good throughout tn
.s Chain for life, either for completing tn
course or review. A scholarship purchased at
local institution dies with the interest of tn
proprietor. ,.y, i.
The nature of our scholarship alone is quit
consideration with many for not unfrequeh.
" is it the case that young men commence thei
course of study at one city, and before compile

causes may lead to this removal: change

self, may, through the agency of the Institute
or some other friend, secure a situation ana r.

schools in the Chain, it becomes matter
great convenience, for they can pursue witho'

ready entered upon, and that, too, without pa.
ing any additional tuition
: Purchase scholarship in an individual inst

have no means of securing the benefit OF yo
