Business Education.

We have just now had the pleasure Of
an interview with ROBERT G. SPENCER,
principal of the National Spencerian and
Bryant & Stratton Business College, Nil
waukee, Wisconsin. Prof. Spencer is a
son of the author of the Spencerian system
of penmanship---is an accomplished pen
man and business scholar, and is assisted
by corps of experienced and accomplish
ed teachers
We would say to the young, and even
middle aged of both sexes: "Get bus
mess education" and Ego to the best
business college. And in the words of
the Hon Arson Smyth, city superintend
ant, Cleveland, Ohio, "The Spencerien
Penmanship is, in nv estimation, without
an equal.'' And this, we Believe, is the
general opinion of those best acquainted
with the different systems, if any other
can be called a system. A business edu-
cation, however, does not consist of good
penmanship alone, and in the college of
which Prof Spencer is the principal,
there is also taught commercial arithme
tic, business correspondence, the science
of accounts, bookkeeping, actual bust
ness practice, government and laws, and
political economy, thus affording an OPP
portunity to obtain thorough business
education; and our advice is, let every
one who expects to engage in business,
first obtain business education.
1t is not every one who will become
extensively engaged in business, but ev-
cry one should be sufficiently acquainted
with business transactions to perform the
duties usually devolVing upon one Of his
position. And as no one knows what his
position may become, every one should
aim to qualify himself for any position.
And there is no danger of any one becom-
ing too we'll qualified adequately to meet
the ordinary emergencies of life.
Every one should aim to be good pen
man. What can be more provoking than
the illegible writing that is frequently
furnished for the press? An article may
be worthy of publication, and yet require
more time to read it than it would to
write an article just as good or better.
Sometimes we receive poetry that requires
so much time to read it that we give it
up; and sometimes when We'do read it, it
requires more time to make poetry Of it
than it would to write as much and as
good poetry without it. So we would say
to every young man and every young wo-
man who has aspirations to write poetry,
and inspiration enough to do it, be sure
to become good penman. And Prof
Spencer's business college will afford you
the best of facilities to do it.
Ifany young man or young woman has
aspirations to become q good dramatic
writer, and inspiration enough to accom-
plish it, let such a one be sure to become
a good penman; and Prof. Spencer's bus
mess college will afford facilities to be-
come SO Ii any young man or young Wo-
man has aspirations eto become a good
prose writer, and has Inspiration enough
to accomplish it, let such one be sure to
become good penman; and Prof. Spen-
GERS business college will afford the best
of facilities to become So
II any young man or young woman has
aspirations to arrive at distinction in any
thing, and has inspiration enough to ac-
complish it, let such one be sure to OBJ
tain a business education and Prof
Spenccr's business college has the, best IA
cilities to enable such one to obtain it.
