National speHeerian Business College

National speBGerian Business College
We are informed that the Business Col
lege established and built up In Mill
waukee by Mr.. r. @. Spencer will
hereafter be distinguished by the above
title. and that the Institution has taken
its place IN the National Union of
Business Colleges. This is a new organ
ization on an improved and more liberal
basis, purely reciprocalln its cooperative
relations. Tt leaves IL the hands OF each
of the colleges composing 1T, all the
revenues derived from buttons and
other sources, which, under other sys-
TENS, have been diverted to foreign
places and purposes.
The financial basis and general plan
of the National Union of Business Col
leges seem to give the best possible
guarantees that the important public
interests involved in institutions OF this
kind will be in every respect properly
conserved. The general control OF
the Union of Colleges will be III the
hands of congress composed OF one
representative from each college while
the local management will be with the
representative principal. Only colleges
of the highest character and at suitable
places will be admitted to the Union,
while the representative of each College
must be man and business educator
of unquestionable standing. An I'M
proved and uniform course of studies
and text books is another feature in the
National Union of Business Colleges.
With such plan as this properly car
ried out the best results may be expect
ed. We understand that Mr.. Spencer
of cur city, in connection with gentle
men in various parts of the country, is
one of the original movers of this i'm
proved organization and system, and
that much is due to his energy and
perseverance, in bringing 1t forward.
While the plan will very naturally
meet with opposition from conflicting
individual interests, it seems to us that
with the publici there can be but one
opinion regarding its claims, 1t seems
to be strong, just and republican, and
therefore well adapted to the interests
and spirit of the American people in
this rapidly expanding department OF
education. -Miluaukee u iSconsin.
