Examinations.

Although we are prepared TO take students at
almost any stage of advancement, and lead
them step by step through all the intricacies Of
a most complete Business Course, yet, at every
stage of their progress, after they have entered
upon their studies, they are subjected TO the
most searching examinations, and they must
be able TO convince that they thoroughly
comprehend the work already gone over, be-
fore they will be allowed to proceed TO that
which is new.
No entry that they are required to make is
permitted to be placed in their books before it
is first made their states and criticised by the
Teachers in charge: and when they have
passed through any particular department, they
are required to prove by their work, that they
are thoroughly familiar with all the details OF
what is taught therein; before they are ad
yanced to another department.
After having passed through all the depart
ments necessary to graduation. they are sub
iected to the Final Examination which covers
the whole ground over which they have passed,
and generally occupies from two to four weeks.
In this examination, the student is required,
in order to graduate and receive his diploma, to
take at least eighty per cent. of credits in the
more important branches.

duties as have heretofore been per
formed by others.
The Head Master of the Public
Schools in o neighboring town, lately
wrote to us, saying. 81 hold two d..
plomas from other Colleges, and have
been successful In giving my pupils
such knowledge of Bookkeeping as
has enabled them to take charge of
several sets of books, yet, / should
esteem a diploma from you as of
greater value than the others, as | am
fully satisfied that you give the best
Business Course to be had in Canada,
and shall always take pleasure in
using my influence in your favor "A
But it is needless to multiply these
verbal expressions of the apprecia-
ton of our labors by men who are
best qualified to Judge of their merits,
for the graduates of the College are
the best testimonials we can place be-
fore the public, and they are scatter
ed far and wide over nearly the whole
of North America.
The highest authority we have up
on the subject of merit has said

Reading.

Many man fails to attain to the
position to which his talents would
otherwise entitle him, simply from
not being able to read well in public.
To enable our students to fit them
selves for all such emergencies, we
give thorough drilling in this re
spect in our private classes, and when
students become sufficiently prepared
for the purpose, we give public
musical and literary entertainments,
in which all who are able, take a part.
This course Of training not only fur
nishes the readiest mode of accom-
plishing the direct end had in view, but
also Indirectly prepares young man
to spe,tk in public without embarrass-
ment when his interests require him
to do so.

Be Consistent.

If, in dealing with merchant you were to de-
tect him in trying TO cheat you, you would not
as a consequence, heneeforth set all merchants
down as rogues and swindlers. Nor if your
neighbor should purchase a suit of clothes and
they should prove to be made OF shoddy, would
you for that reason conclude that all garments
were made of shOddy, and forever thereafter re-
fuse TO purchase or wear clothing.
Then If, amongst the numerous institutions
that profess TO give a Business Course of Educa-
ton there is here and there one that Is conduct
ed on the shoddy principle, do not at once fool
ishly decide that none of them are worthy OF
your confidence and patronage
There are probably no other educational insti-
tutions in existence that have by results, during
the past twenty five years, so fully proved the
practical value of the instruction which they
have impaired, as have those institutions known
as schools of Business or Commercial Colleges
The vast majority of business men have long
ago learned TO prize these institutions as the Pre-
paratory Department of Commercial Life. and
have not only readily given employment TO the
graduates of such as are in good standing, but
also sent their own sons to participate in the ben
efts derived from their course of training.
Yet in the face of all these facts, there are still
few blg0ted ignoramuses who will sell you that
these Colleges are all humbugs, and that a Few
, weeks of experience in the counting room ID
worth far more TO the embryo Commercial man
than the entire course in such training school.
Asa them their reasons for their opinion and
| they will either be entirely unable to produce
them or they viii tell you that the son OF they
neighbor was sent to such College, and that af-

Business Arithmetic.

The great Rule OF Common
Sense is unquestionably never more
palpably necessary in any branch of
education than in this. The time
spent in working problems by written
tlles, without an understanding OF
be principles which are the founda-
9ns of those rules, we deem little
etter than wasted. We may see this
Eaaonstrated almost any day in the
ae of many who are considered the
ant scholars of some of our pub
E. schools. These scholars, we are
bitten told, have gone through and
completely mastered all the text
books on Arithmetic authorized by
BIZ Board of Public instruction, and
yet, if you ask them a plain pratical
question, involving the calculations
I bat are constantly arising in every
day business life, and do not suggest
b what rule they are to work it, in
Fine cases out of ten you cannot de-
bend on the accuracy Of the result at
mich they arrive. We speak advis-
bly, in this matter, and have often
been led TO deplore the sad lack which
gusts in the method of giving in
guction i'll this indispensable branch
b Commercial Education.
In this, if in no other branch of
|Eudy, should the pupil be impressed
btu the idea that he has brains of
|hs own, and should think and reason
|op every part of his work, and in no
|ase be contented to adopt the opin-
|Dns and ideas of others, without sub
Rcting them to the test of his own
Fason and Judgment.

To the Business Men Of America.

5. GENTLEMEN Allow us to urge up
on your attention the claims of the
graduates of this College. They
have been thoroughly and effectuany
drilled in all the various duties of the
countingroom. Their capacity in
this respect has undergone the strict
est scrutiny. Their examination, as
you will learn by a perusal of this
paper, has not been confined to few
hours, or even days, but has been
steadily carried on for several weeks,
and no available means has been left
unemployed, in fitting them to serve
you etfectually and we'll We there
fore trust that, as faithful servants of
the Business Community, we shall,
in the future, be rewarded, even more
bountifully than in the past, by your
showing that you appreciate our eff
forts by giving good, remunerative
employment to those whom we have
thus fitted to fill positions of trust
that are at your disposal. We do not,
of course, profess to have made them
acquainted with every form of books
in use, as this would clearly be i'm
possible; but we do claim to have
prepared them to take charge of any
set of books that may be placed in
their hands, provided they first have
fair opportunity of making them
selves acquainted with the peculiar
features of the plan ON which they
are kept.
Give them fair trial, and we have
no doubt you will be fully satisfied
By addressing us, you can always
obtain competent accountants at
short notice

Commercial Law.

This science as applied to Con
tracts, Agencies, Partnerships, En-
dorsements, Sales, Negotiable Paper,
and all other points connected with
the safe and sure prosecution of bus
mess transactions, receives the proper
attention, The subject is inculcated
in familiar Lectures, and also by gen

Correspondence and Composition


The exercises in these branches en-
brace a suggestive course Of instruc-
ton, comprising the best principles
and rules, the observance of which
must lead to the highest proficiency.
Brevity in commupication-the style
of folding and directing-the spell
ing, punctuation, capitals, use of prop
or words, &c, receive most minute
attention.
Correspondence and Essays on diff
ferent topics are required weekly, and
students are thoroughly drilled in
everything pertaining to good letter
writing.
Any person having the opportunity
of examining the letters received by
those who have an extensive CORES
pondence, will not be astonished
when we say that there is not one
man in fifty who writes a truly good
letter; but to an intelligent person
who has not this privilege, it would
seem almost incredible that such
should be the case, when we include
in this number men of every profess
sion-teachers as well as others.
We have perused some letters writ
ten by teachers which should cause
the blush of shame to mantle the
cheek of the schoolboy of ten years.
Such spelling, such capitalization, and
phraseology, one would hardly expect
to find in the communications of those
who make no pretension to good ed
ucation, much less among the produc-
tons of those whose province it is to
instruct others. IF this be the case
with the correspondence of teachers,
what must it be when coming from
those who are taught? Indeed, a
well written, faultless, friendly or bus
mess letter is one of the rarities of
our land.

Grammatical Construction, Spell
ing and Word Studies.

These also receive due considera-
ton, great interest being attached to
thorough understanding of the
words of the English language that
are in use in the business community.
To secure proficiency in spelling,
classes are formed and contests en-
tered into, and all students are ex-
pected to take part in these exercises.

What those Say who Know Us
Best. .r..

We are constantly the recipients of
words of cheer from our former stu
dents, like the following = ..
No. My experienceproves that
your Business Course is worth more
to me than gold I could never have
hoped to fill my present position,
without the knowledge received in
your classes"
No. 2-"I find when coming in
contact with graduates Of other Col
leges, that my knowledge of all that
is essential in business is more extern
sive and practical than theirs"
No. 8" Although I am now farm
ing, and shall probably be a farmer
all my life, / find the knowledge &C
quired in your institution worth in
fnitely more to me than it cost to
obtain it.
No. a. [ am now Manager in this
Bank, and, thanks to your institution
find no difficulty in doing all that is
required in such position"
No. g." Although living in anoth-
er city, where one of the most popu
lar of the Canadian Commercial Col
leges is located, I am satisfied, that [
have been gamer by paying for my
travelling expenses and board and at
tending your excellent institution, in
preference to boarding at home and
attending the one here"
A leading wholesale merchant of
London, whose business amounts to
many thousand dollars per year, in
speaking of his son who attended our
institution, and who now has the su-
pervision of his entire establishment,
said to us that had it not been for the
training the young man received from
us, he would have been utterly in
competent to fllthe responsible posi-
ton that he now does with honor to
himself and the qualification of his
/ friends.
/ Another of the leading London
merchants voluntarily told us that he
had much rather have our young men
to assist him in his store, though to-
tally unacquainted with the business,
than to have those who were familiar
with it but destitute of the know
ledge we impart For, said he, Il
can teach them my business, but ]
cannot teach them that which you do.

eral Exercises, in which are discussed
not only imaginary occurrences, but
those which naturally arise between
the students in their daily transae-
tons. By this method, we give to
all the students such knowledge as
will prove of vital Importance to
them in after life, which must be, if
they engage in business, never-ceas-
ing succession Of contracts and agencies.
