THE ST. PAUL
INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS COLLEGE
AND TElEGRAPAlC INSTITUTE.

This is the eoason 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 I most judiciously and ef-
fciently occupy my timee 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 oi
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 commercial
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 tho 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 desideratum 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 10
answer this they have the benefit Of
the investigation of the whole associa-
tion, 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-
veloping, diffasing 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 it's
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-ctass premiums,
which is only an indication Of its first
class character in all respects. As every
young man wants to go to the best, he
will make the wise choice and go to the
st. Paul Business College.
Below We give few extracts from q
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. .,-.', e
''Graduates OF the st. Paul Business Col
lege must be good book-keepers, but I am
glad to say to those who think that a course
Vi training is too limited in Business Col
lege, that while, indeed, it is no small ac-
complishment to be able to open, conduct,
and clesea set Of books, IN q seentiic way,
that bookkeeping alone comprises but a
small portion Of the courses as taken in q
first t-class Commercial College. It has been
my privilege to spend five months in the st.

closely the workings Of that institution J
beg leave to- call the attention of the public
to the advantages of location, and to tile
manner In which the school is conducted.
The man of business requires education that
has reference tosthe LAWS that govern the
numerous complications which enter into
business transactions. The commercial
student who will but observe what is going
on around him as he passes through the
principal streets Of + the = great
Commercial centre of thes Northwest,
cannot help but learn something of almost
every:variety Of business. IT. would not be
in accordance with the objectlof this article
to speak of the Immense whosesale and re-
| tail trade Of St. Paul, my object being to re-
fmind the reader that he may, ii he will, see
aud hear much more of business by attend
ing the St. Paul Business College than can
be learned at country towns of a few thou
sand inhabitants.
ts ssAs TO- thatext books used, ! would say
that these, as we'll as the plain and ornanse1s-
tai work Of both students and teachers have
invariably taken first premiums at the State
Flirs. The text books are prepared ex-
