We are in receipt of the annual an
nouncement of the Business OF Com
merciaI College at Green Bay. We are
much pleased with the showing therein
made. The course of instruction seems
to be eminently thorough and practical !;
well calculated to prepare for business
or school teaching. Established in 1868,
it has taught over 1000 pupils, who oc-
cupy positions as clerks, accountants,
business men, teachers, photographers,
telegraphers and penmen. The rates of
tuition seem reasonable and well graded.
The present Principal has had charge of
the College since 1870. He is emphatic
ally self-made man and has made his
College of great service to this section.
It is well deserving of the liberal sup
port it receives. For information or the
annual announcement address A. @.
