A Sign Of the Times.

From the Weekly Free Press, Nov. 9th, 1879.
A sure indication of the revival of business has
recently been brought to our notice in connection
with the Commercial College in this city. The
proprietor, Professor Jones, informs us that, du-
ring the past six months, his business has exceed
ed that of the same months last year by a large
per centage, and that his prospects for the COM
ing winter are exceedingly encouraging.
1t is well-knOwn that the system of training
pursued at this College has always been noted
for thoroughness and practical utility, and as a
consequence, the institution has been extensively
patronized by an appreciative public; but many
who would otherwise have given their sons the
advantages of its business course, were. during
last year, deferred from doing so by the string
ency OF the tunes, and the consequence was that,
although the attendance was large, even under
these adverse circumstances, 1t was not nearly
equal to Whit 1t Is likely to be during the coming
season. We see that students from long distances
are among those who have recently entered, and
we are glad to know that this excellent lnstitu-
ton is so very generally appreciated, both in
Canada and the United States We believe there
is no better of its kind anywhere

A Valuable Course of Study.
From the sarnfa Observer, Dec. 5th, 1879.

From the Sarnia Observer, Dec. 5th, 1879
The course of business training pursued at the
London Commercial College has long been noted
for its thoroughness and practical utility, and the
institution stands very high in the estimation Of
the public for its efficiency in importing necessa
ny commercial knowledge in all its varied details.
A large number of the prominent business men
of our day have, during the past eighteen years,
been enrolled as its students. Sarnia has contrib
uted goOdly number of these. and from the
unqualified satisfaction expressed by such, will
undoubtedly, in the future. contribute many
more. A very important feature III connection
with this College, as cOntrasted with other inSti-
tutiOns of the kind. is that students from dis
lance who desire it, are now boarded at the Col
lege and the rate charged for tuition, board and
books. Is only about the same ~ board alone
would cost in many other places.

1t is estimated that nine-tenthS of the failures

We doubt if there are ten business men IN this
city who could DO this, and yet without the
knowledge necessary to such an end no man is
really safe. t,, g5
We, however, know one man at the head of
one of our most prosperous establishments, who

Useful and Entertaining Lecture.

From the London WeekLy Herald, No0. p, 1879.
Professor A E. Willis of Chicago, author OF
various works Oh physiognomy, Willis PhySiog-
nomical Chart, ETC., and who has for years been
one of the most noted lecturers on this and kin
dred subjects In the Colleges of the United
States delivered lecture yesterday afternoon
before the students of the London Commercial
College.
The Professor. who, by the way, graduated at
tn is College some fifteen years ago, secured the
fixed attention of his hearers throughout, and
gave them the most valuable suggestions, by
which they might, to agreat extent, read the
character of man in his face, the color of hair,
his walk, and general appearance.
The lecture was profuSey illustrated by pOr-
traits of distinguished men and women, and
diagrams on the blackboard, and proved thatthe
speaker had given the matter years of the most
searching and minute observation.
The subject was handled in a mastery man
ner and was received with due appreciation by
the audience.
The Professor is now on his way to New York
City, where, we understand his lectures have
been very popular in the past, and where he
contemplates taking up his permanent abode.
In this connection, we cannot help remarking
that London has good reason to feel proud Of
her Business College, for during the past eigh-
teen years, 1t has probably, in a quiet way, been
fitting more young men for spheres of useful
ness and honor than any other institution in our
broad Dominion.
We notice that among those recently arriving
to attend this College are, Mr.. j. Dean, of the
city of Marshall, Mich. Mr. Archibald Lough-
rey, of Detroit Mr.. ThoS. Foster of Smiths
Falls, Ont Mr.. Z. C. Mowat, Of Guelph, and
Mr.. j. IL. Gallagher, of Portland, which is about
twenty eight miles east of Kingston and
among those who have lately completed their
studies and returned home are, Mr.. George
Duthie, of Toronto Miss ROsina TownShend, of
Boston, Mass !; Mr.. i. T. James, of Chicago. H. :;
and Z. j. Knight. of Black River, N. Y. Thus it
will be seen, that whilst the College Is enjoying
the liberal support of the city of London and
adjacent towns, it also numbers among its pa
irons, persons Of both sexes who reside in other
cities of Canada and the United States, where
similar institutions exist, and remote localities,
from which, III coming here, they must pass
| some Of the most popular of the American Col
| legeS. '-' |'' .' 's
We presume that the envlable distinction to
which Principal Jones has attained, as a Conn
| mercal Educator, during the past eighteen
| years. has much to do with the popularity of
this institution, but, judging from results, we
believe, however, that the thoroughly practical
nature of its course of training, has contributed
| still more to this end ... Jars
| We are pleased to add that present appear
ances indicate that the attendance at the College
| during the coming winter, Will exceed that OF
any former year. and this will be but the just
reward of solid merit and steady perseverance
in doing good. l

Extracts.

1t is a very easy matter for anybody to praise
himself, but it is far more difficult matter to
earn the expressed approval of other disinter-
ested parties, and especially those to whom the
public look for a true and impartial record of
events We believe, therefore, that the follow
ing extracts from recent issues of well-known
papers may be justly considered as truthfully
representing the estimation in which our former
institution, The London Commercial College, has
been held by those familiar with its operations
and the work which it has been doing. We have
only space for few of the very large number of
such. articles that have appeared in the public
prints from time to time during the past 10 years
but it seems to us that no reasonable person can
read these words of unmeasured commentator
without being convinced that no institution of
the kind, either in Canada or the United States,
possesses better facilities for fitting young men
to enter upon successful business career, than
wehave furnished in ours.

with its unprecedentedly liberal rates for tuition

vantage to come to London for a business edu-

nearer home, with higher rates and inferior in

into our city and expended here that would not

reason for wishing both the College and its pro-
prietor a continuation of that success which has
been so marked feature of their career in the
past.

A Wise Plan.

Every man should mind his own
business, and only that. 1t is hard
to tell him SO in plain words; yet it
is one of the simplest rules of con
duct, and the most useful that man
kind can adopt in their intercourse
with each other. There is a great
deal of Paul Pry in the human heart,
or wonderful inquisitivenessin regard
to the personal and private affairs of
friends and neighbors. This spirit
makes more mischief in the commu-
nifty than almost any other cause, and
creates more malice, envy and jeal-
ousy than can be overcome in a cen
fury. Let every man mind his own
business, and there will not be half
the trouble in the world that there is
at present.-Chieago Ledger.

A Good Change.

We are informed that the board of

decided upon one session day in the
arst and seconds rades in the public
schools, thus requiring the little chill

stay in school only three hours each

hours is long enough to keep these
little ones confined in school. Chill

Something to be Proud of.

Great Western Weekly Bulletin. Dee. 4ti, 1879.
In almost every section of Canada as we'll As Il
large portion OF the United States, may be found
fOurishing business establishments conducted
and owned by men whose business success IS
principally due to the training which they receiv-
ed in the London Commercial College. Under
the management OF its founder. Professor J. W.
Jones, this institution has, for eighteen years
past been steadily sending out large numbers Of
young men, fitted to fill the most responsible
positions, as accountants, statesmen, clerks, mail
ayers of banks, teachers, professional men, SC,
&c. AS the pioneer commercial educator OF
Canada, Professor Jones may justly feel proud of
his achievements in the field of commercial
science. No institution i'll America has a better
reputation for thoroughly practical work than
this College. The result is, that whilst many in
situations of learning are langushing during

about the ordinary price for board during the

A. -Well-tried Institution.
From the Family Circle for Nov. 1879.

We are convinced that no other institu-
ton in Canada has SO well proved it's use
fitness in fitting men for successful business
life, as one of our own local establishments,
we refer to Jones London Commercial Col
lege. ....
Founded by its present proprietor in the
fall of 1861, the first of its kind in Canada,
it has ever. since occupied the leading posi-
ton among the practical training institutions
of the Dominion. The result is, that to-
day there Is scarcely locality in British
America where its former students may not
be found successfully engaged in trade, com
merce, or the learned professions, whilst a
large number of young men once con-
nected with its classes, seeking for a more
extended field of operations, have migrated
to the United States and other foreign coun-
tries, and are there making their influence
felt as sterling business men.
In June 1873, the principal, Professor
Jones, adopted the plan of boarding all pu-
pills coming from distance who desired it,
and erected large three-story brick build
ing for that special purpose. This building

came home totally incapable Of taking charge of
a set of books.
Now, we will wager our reputation that in
nearly every one of these instances there has Ell
ther been lack of brains or application on the
part of the student himself. gt.
Any sensible person knows that in such cases
the very best of instruction will fail to produce
satisfactory results.
We readily admit that there are sham Com
merca Colleges as well as sham institutions of
other kinds, and of course those who may fool
ishiy choose to attend one of these will find their
money, in great measure, thrown away but on
the other hand we boldly assert that, as class,
no institutions have better reasons for feeling
proud of the results of their work than have
these same Business Training Schools.
We know that it would be hard to find school
OF any kind, where thOrOughness is more persist
emily and ZealouSly aimed at and inculcated,
than IN our own institution, and the results Of
our training are certainly of the most satisfactory
nature imaginable.
We claim the privilege Of being judged by
these results and we know that any reasonable
man will accord us this privilege. i.
We do not fear for the verdict of the public, If
rendered upon these grounds.
