THE ST. PAUL
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS COLLEGE
| AND 1ELEeRApnIc INSTITUTE.

This is the season Of the year when
every aspiring young man should be
preparing himself for life's responsible.
ities-especially in advance should he
make the rational inquiry as to where
and how can most judiciously and ef-
ficicntly 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 for 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 us'ness 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 rcpresen-
tatives bear the impress Of their own
individuality, but possessing as they
do a 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 indc-
pendent institution in the country. The
important desidcratum is that each
student gets the benefit Of all the in
vestigations Of this immense chain of
Colleges.
In the choice Of Tert Books and
other educational facilities the only
question is what is the best? 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 laborcd faithfully for upwards
of twenty years for the purpose Of de.
| vcloping, ditflsing 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 indicatio Of its first.
class character in all respects. AS every
young man wants to 60 to the best, he
will make the wise choice and 60 to the
St. Paul Business College.
Below we give few extracts from a
| Missouri paper, written by student who
recently graduated in this institution,
and who only reflects the sentiments of
hundreds Of young men who have at
tended the same college.

complishment to he able to open, conduct,

closely the workings Of that institution:
beg leave to call the attention of the public

manner in which the school is conducted.
The man of business requires education that
has reference to the laws that govern tile
numerous complications which enter into
business transactions. The commercial

every variety of business. It would not he

to speak Of the immense wholesale and re-
tail trade Of st. Paul, my object being to re-

and hear much more Of business by attend

SA AS to the text books used, would say
that these, as we'll as the plain and ornamen .
tai work Of both students and teachers have
invariably taken first premiums at the State
Fairs. The text books are prepared ex-
pressly for the "College Association" and
are well up with the times
The rooms are heated with steam pipes and
lighted with gas, and are as attractive and
comfortable in the evening as during the day.
Young ladies who live far out from the bust
ness portion Of the city, by taking passage in
the street cars will find no inconvenience in
attending evening school. It is worthy Of
note that they take as much interest and
make as rapid advancement as men.
Much might be said of business penmanship,
correspondence, mercantile la,o and the la,u

"ectual busincss' department is conducted,
