Herald and tribune. [volume] (Jonesborough, Tenn.) 1869-current, 1881-12-15

The students who are now filling these
positions,,were from the States of Kentucky,
Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee and
Ohio.
Therefore We wonld ask the following
questions
/. What other Business College can
show as many applications made to them
by business men, in the short space Of
four months?
2. Who is better able to Judge of the
qualifications OF young men, than the mer-
chants and business men themselves?
3. What more substantial endorsement
can an institution have, than to receive fire.
quent applications from BUSINESS MEN
who wish to employ its STUDENTS, also
when LEADING MERCHANTS and 9TH
ers purchase its stock at a premium?
A. Is it not commendable for such an
institution toplacei Disadvantages within the
reach of young men nall parts of the South,
by establishing at considerable cost, a
chain Of such institutions?
5. Is it no better for q school to refer
to the numerous applications from bust
ness men, than for to say 1--WE teach the

Goodman's College has no three months
or partial course. Hence the success of
our students.
1t surely could not be reasonably expec-
ted that any college could take the average
young man and in three months pronounce
nim to be an intelligent and competent &C
countant. Having had to educate him in
Commercial Calculations, the Laws of Con-
tracts, Negotiable Paper and the like, a
rapid Business Handwrite, Business Cor
respondence, Bookkeeping in its various
forms, both by Single and Double Entry,
as applied to General Merchandising,
Wholesale, Commission, Banking and 9TH
er kinds of business, and go through the
actual Business Department and the min
ute "details of business in three months.
A MISTAKEN IDEA.
This idea of becoming an accountant in
three months and less time has produced
damaging results. 1t has caused many
business men to look with contempt on
Business Colleges, as they believed it i'm
possiblefor young menxpthoroughy master
the commercial branches in so short a time (;
and young men themselves, who attend
College so short a time, generally go home
feeling afraid TO risk themselves in bust
I ness or with a firms books. 1t would be
better not to have a cent of
their money than to take part
of 1t, and not sufficiently qualify them as
accountants that they may be able to earn
back the money invested in their business
| education.
Time Required.-The time required
to complete the course depends entirely
upon the Students application and ability.

q bright student, and has wasted no time.
No student need be discouraged in five
months, for that is a reasonable time.
While any student who expects to do much
when he comes in contact with the bust
ness world, ought TO complete in six
months. The College rooms are open for
instruction and work the entire day and on
Saturdays. Studants can receive instruc-
tons any hour Of the day or after
school sessions, and diligent students can
put in such extra time. 4
