The ST. PAUL

INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS COLLEGE
AND TELEGRAPHIC INSTITUTE.
This is the season of the year when
every aspiring young man should be
preparing himself for life's responsible
tiles especially in advance should he
make the rational inquiry as to where
and how can most judiciously and ef-
ficiently occupy my time! To answer
this inquiry intelligently it is absolute
ly necessary to know Of the superior
advantages and facilities that have been
provided fer the special training OF
young men and ladies in the St. Paul
Business College. 1t may not be known
by some of our readers that this Col.
lege belongs to an ''Association" whose
members meet annually for mutual con-
ference on the progress and develop
ment of practical business education.
These meetings are composed Of
members from the leading comm ercial
centres of the country. reaching from
Portland, Maine, Montreal and Toron-
to, Canada to San Francisco, Boston
and St. Paul to New Orleans.
1t may be true that these represen-
tatives bear the impress Of their own
individuality, but possessing as they
do years experience since their last
meeting, and ever ready and willing to
give each the benefit Of any advance
steps he may have taken, furnish the
members Of the Association with op-
portunity not possessed by any indie
pendent institution in the country. The
important desideratum is that each
student gets the benefit Of all the in
vestigations of this immense chain Of
Colleges.
In the choice of Itrt Books and
other educational facilities the only
question is what is the bestl And To
answer this they have the benefit Of
the investigation Of the whole associa-
ton, many Of whose members are au-
thors of great celebrity and rare talent.
having labored faithfully for upwards
of twenty years for the purpose of de-
vcloping, DIFF Using and perpetuating a
sound and comprehensive business edu-
cation commensurate with the growing
wants Of business life.
To place the St. Paul Business Col
lege beyond reasonable doubt Of its
superiority it was the only institution
of the kind that was considered worthy
ofrecognition at the State Fair this fall,
although several other schools and col
leges were represented, this college
receiving three frst-class premiums.
which is only an indication OF its first
class character in all respects. AS every
young man wants to 60 to the best, ne
will make the wise choice and go to the
St. Paul Business College.
Below we give few extracts from
Missouri paper, written by student who
recently graduated in this institution,
and vino only reflects the sentiments OF
hundreds OF young men who have at
tended the same college.

omplishment to be able to open, conduct,

my privilege to spend five months In the st.

to the advantages OF location, and to tie
manner III which the school is conducted.
The man of business requires education that
has reference to the laws that govern the
numerous complications which enter into
business transactions. The commercial
student who will but observe what il going
on around him as he passes through the
principal streets OF the great
commercial centre Of the Northwest,
canno. help but learn something of almost
every variety OF business 1t would not be
in accordance with the object of this article
to speak O. the immense wholesale and re-
tail trade OF ST Paul, my object being to re-
mind the reader that he may, if he will, see
and hear much more OF business by attend
ing the St Paul Business College than can
be learned at country towns OF afew thou
