Time Of Entering.

Owing to our system of individ-
ual instruction, Students may enter
the College at any time convenient
to themselves, with nearly equal adj
vantage, and the period of instruc-
ton agreed for, viii date from the
time of entry. There will, however,
in addition to the vacation of three
months beginning with the 18th of
June and ending with the 18th of
September, also be a vacation of
eight days beginning with Christmas
of each year, and the 4th of July
and other legal holidays will also be
observed Students for whom we
furnish board will be charged $3.50
per week extra if they remain
during any part of the three
months holidays, but there will be
no extra charge if they remain
during the shorter vacations. Thir-
teen full weeks are reckoned as three
months, and shorter periods in the
same proportion.

What to do When You Arrive.

Intending Students arriving in the
city during College hours, should
leave their trunks at the station, re-
tanning their checks, and come di-
rectly to the College, and after hay-
ing arranged for their tuition, they
will, if they desire it, be shown to q
boarding house. Should they, how
ever, arrive at another time of the day
or evening, they had better either go
at once to the residence of Prof Jones
on Williams street, west side of Broad
street, just north of the Street Rail
way stables, or go to a hotel and
wait until the College is open.

Diplomas.


A beautiful Diploma showing the
exact standing of the holder will be
presented to those who satisfactorily
complete the course of study. None
will be granted, unless the applicant
is able to pass the prescribed exam
nations, and these are of the most
rigid character. Other recommen-
dations will be granted to such as
are entitled to them, but have not
completed the course, but we are de
termined that the good name Of the
College shall not be sullied by grant
ing diplomas or recommendations to
those who do not merit them. We
are not only willing, but glad, at all
times, to do all that we can to help
our students in securing situations,
and we have done so in hundreds of
instances, but we cannot, and will
not, knowingly bear false testimony
as to anybodys character or acquire
ments. We intend that our testi-
monials shall be worth something to
the parties holding them.
A charge of One Dollar is made

fying for Telegraph Operators,

flying for Telegraph Operators, in
connection with other studies, will
be something like six or eight months.
Those taking this branch alone should
become very proficient in six months.
By devoting an hour each day to the
study of Photography, students
should get thorough knowledge of
the science whilst taking the Business
Course. But, necessarily, the time
required in all these studies varies in
different cases, and according to cir
cumstances.

Time Required.

Students should never enter for a
less period than three months, if they
can possibly arrange to attend that
length of time.
The time usually requifed to com
plete the Commercial Course is from
four to six months. We always de
sire students to remain until thor

do so. The time required for quail

Bookkeeping.

In the commercial world, few things
are more readily admitted, or more
generally experienced, than the i'm
portance of Book keeping. The ruin
that rarely fails to punish its neglect,
renders it Indispensable to the indi-
yidual, whilst, from its connection
with the stability and extension of
trade, it becomes interesting even in
a national point of view.
Proportionate to the utility of
Bookkeeping must be the value of
the system that accomplishes the
purpose intended with the greatest
degree of conciseness and accuracy,
and Oh the most enlarged scale OF
applicability; and of that method of
teaching the science which is the
most practical in its nature, and that
the most nearly approximates the
various operations of real business
life.
In the days Of our forefathers,
house carpenters used to frame build
ings by what they termed the Scribe
Rule. This rule consisted in fitting
tenon for some particular mortice,
and cutting a brace of such length as
to support some certain station; these
had marks or numbers on them, cor
responding to like numbers on places
for which they were intended. By
this strange departure from a govern
ing principle in mechanics, all edi-
fees were framed; and any one who
attended country raising in those
days, knows that a proper fit, without
cutting, always reflected a good deal
of credit on the builder. House
jobbers found difficulties in the rule,
for faithful workmen had not always
clear heads; and, in calculations so
completely mental, errors were of
common occurrence, for which neigh
borhoods usually had to suffer, by
being obliged to turn DAT another day
to the same raising.
A certain ingenious builder. how
ever, observed that all the errors
which were made in framing by the
Scribe Rule were, in putting the work
together, corrected by the Square
Rule, and came to the very wise con
clusion that he would use the latter
rule in all his work from the begin
ming But our fathers and mothers,
who had always lived in houses framed
by the Scribe Rule, laughed at the
attempt, and some Of them verify be
ieved his buildings would fall; 9th
ers, that they could not be put to-

Employment.

It is certain that course OF In

far more than it will cost to obtain 1t,
but we will, in addition, do all in our
power to- assist our graduates in OBJ

tons and we are pleased to be able
to say that we have, in the past, thus

Summary.

The following is a fair comparison
of the cost of attending this College
and that of attending others:

Tuition for three months in Orna-
namental Penmanship. ......,... Is to IS

legraphy ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. " 10 Az
Board for three monthS............. IL to 90
Books and Stationery for Com
mercial Course. 8 to Is
Total FROM. 49,. Sl2i to S210
Our entire charge for the same
period, if M the above studies are
pursued at the same time, for Iul-
ton, Board and Incidentals, with
Books and Stationery for CONNER
cial Course, textbooks included), Is
but $83.
These figures will be fully con
firmed by reference to the circulars
of other Institutions.
Mere superficial instruction IS dear
at any price, but if man can get
the best in our College for less than
it would cost in another, he would
be foolish indeed if he were to pat
ronize the dearer institution. We
challenge any other Commercial Col
leee to show a better record than
our own in the results of the train
ing given, as exempifed in our
hundreds of students who are now
actively engaged in business life,

Accidental Discoveries.

Valuable discoveries have been made and
valuable inventions suggested by the veriesl
accidents.
An aichemist, while seeking to discover q
mixture of earths that would make the most
durable crucibles, one day found that he had
made porcelain.
The power OF lenses, as applied to the tel4
escope, was discovered by watchmske.'s
apprentice. While holding spectacle glasses
between his thumb aud finger, he was star
tied at the suddenly enlarged appearance cf
a neighboring church spire.
The art of etching upon glass was discover
ed by nuremberg giass-cutter. By accident
few drops of aqua f"rtis fell upon his spec
tacles. He noticed that the glass became
corroded and softened where the acid had
touched it. That was hint enough. He drew
figures upon glass with varnish, applied the
corroding fluid, then cut away the glass
around the drawing. When the varnisf was
removed, the figures appeared raised upon a
dark ground.
MezzOtinto owed its invention to the sim
pie accident OF the gun-barrel of q sentry
becoming rllsted with dew.
The swaying to and fro of chandelier In
q cathedral suggested to Galileo the applca-
tion of the pendulum.
The art Of lithographing was perfected
through suggestions made by accident. A
poor musician was curious to know whether
music could not be etched upon stone as we'll
as upon copper. After he had prepared his
slab his mother asked HIM to make memo
randum Of such clothes as she proposed 20
send to be washed. Having no pen, ink or
paper convenient lie wrote the list on the
stone, intending to make a copy Of it at leis-
ure. A few days later, when about to clean
the stone, lie wondered what effect aqua fortis
would have upon it. He appl the acid
and in a few minutes saw the writing stand.
ing out in relief. The mex, step necessary
was simply to ink the stone and take an i'm
preston.
The composition OF which printing rollers
are made was discovered by a Salopiau print
er. Not being able to find the pelt-ball he
linked the type with piece of soft glue whIci
| h ID fallen out of glue pot. Il was such an
! excellent substitute, that, after mixing mo
! lasses with the glue, to give the mass proper
consistency, the CID pelt ball vas entirely
! discarded.
! The shop of Dublin tobacconist by thu
! name of Landyfoot, was destroyed by fire
| While he was gazing dolefulIy into tn,
smoulderirg ruins, he noticed that his p,ore
neighbois were gathering the snuff from TIT

through an accident which he at first though

The weekly miner. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1878-1881, 1880-11-30

WASHINGTON, Nov 20.--The sixth Audi
tor McGreer has submitted Lls annual repor
to the secretary Of the treasury. The onl,
recommendation the report contains which
has not already been published is that an ap-
preparation be made for fifteen additional
clerks and one chief clerk at q salary of 81, 100
per annun. For the week ending
Nov. 20 there was distributed 422,9S7 stand
ard silver dollars. For the correspondent.
week in 1879 346,9S7 were distributed. Di-
rector of the mint, Burchard, say that the
statement purporting that he had given it as
his opinion that the coinage of the standard
silver dollar can be continued fifteen years
without disturbing the actual circulation OF
gold, is unauthorized. On the contrary he
believes that the provision for issuing silver
certificates which invite circulation of the
standard silver dollar, and is in opposition t"
bankers and business which drives silve.
dollars into the treasury, has and will pre-
vent their circulation in this country to the
extent that franc pieces circulated in France.
