A BRIEF VISIT
To GOOdman'S Knoxville Bust
ness College.
A Few Facts About One of the
Leading Institutions of the
Country.
Knoxville Tribune .oct. 4th, 1881. i.

- of Gay and Church streets, anC
. found teachers and students busiIy
= engaged The Professor Franz
" Goodman, was up to his ears il
work and his two competent assis
: tants Prof Allen and Prof Davis
were busy in their departments
The students were all hard at work
and deeply interested, and the light
airy, elegantly equipped rooms pre-
sented cheerful appearance.
Three new students had just en-
tered the Commercial College. They
are three promising young men from
Jacksboro, Tennessee, A. J. Wier,
W. w. Waisman, and John Bow
man. Besides these Prof Good
man received a telegram announc-
ing the fact that o. w. Walsh, of
| Donaldson, Tenn, had just purchas-
ed q scholarship. We believe there
are now between IS and 100 stu
dents in Goodmans Business Col
| leges and a number of new ones are
coming in every week. During the
month of September, Prof @. re-
ceived nearly twice as much money
for scholarships as all the other bus
mess schools in the State together,
yet his tuition is higher than any.
No responsible institution can afford
to sell six months scholarships for
less than $50 and sensible young
men who want good business train
ing will pay that price sooner than
go to a second or third class institu-
ton for halfprice. Those who have
attended GoOdman's Business Col
iege can testify to its merits. For
six or seven years Goodman's Nash
vile Business College has added an
nuaIly large number of active.
well informed and competent young
men to the business community.
We belieJ Q there is not single one
of his graduates who has not now a
paying situation. We know of six
Of his former students who are en-
plOyed in Knoxville There are
now between so and 20 students re-
ceiving instruction in the Nashville
Business College and a large num-
Der have already entered G0odman's
Knoxville Business College. The
principal divides his time between
the two schools, and has in each a
competent corps Of assistants.
Goodman students are in demand |
all over the country. Business men
have found that they are thoroughly |
trained and can be trusted with |
books and business.
Only few days ago, Mr.. 7. D. |
Flippen General Auditor of the Cole |
system, brought to Knoxville three |
former students of Goodman's Bus
mess College. W. B. Lomax, who |
was at the University of Tennessee
in 8178, afterwards attended Good |
mans Business College, but was
taken away in less than three
months to take charge of the books
of Wheeler & Co., to which he had
been recommended by the Princi- |
pal. He afterwards accepted q posi- /
ton with n, G & st. l.. railroad, |
but resigned to accept a place in the
general counting department of the
Cole system under Mr.. Fippen and
is now in this city. J. C. Hooper,
another of Goodman's students who
has been in the employ of the N,
G. & St. L., is also in Knoxville in
the Office Of the General Auditor.
Mr.. Poston, who is mentioned in the
following item from the Nashville
Banner, was also a student of Prof.
"Allen J. Poston and family left
this morning for Knoxville, where
they will make their future home.
Mr.. Poston a short time since re-
signed his position in the Office of
the General Book-keeper of the N,
G. & st. i. railroad, where he was
as a most energetic and
efficient man. He now goes to take
a responsible position in the office of
the General Auditor OF the Cole
system of railroads. Mr.. I. D. Flip
pin, General Auditor of the Cole
system, was, antil few months
since, General Book-keeper of the
n, G. & st. L., and knows the
merits of the men who were en-
ployed there"
Besides these already mentioned
Prof. Goodman has within the past
two months received applications
from the following business firms in
Nashville for his students to fill the
position of accountants, book-k keep
ers, &c.
Edgar Jones, Cashier Third
National Bank Gilbert, Parks &
Co., Commission Merchants; Oman
4 Steward, steam stone works S.
Franklin & Co., Crystal Palace,
Nashville Grain and Elevator Com,
pany; A. A Newson, Southern
Nurseries VIM. a. Morrow, Gen
oranl Insurance Agent
A few days ago while on the train
between Nashville and Knoxville
Mr.. Louis Colyar; Manager of Ris-'
ing Fawn Iron Works, made appli-
ca,ion to Prof Goodman for book
keeper The position has not been
illed yet because Prof Goodman
has no graduates ready at this time.
