AmOuR the lneCltutlOnS Wnlcn stand forth
as credit to the city, and which deserve
more than ordinary attention and con-
sideration will be found the well known
st. Paul Business College, which has so Justly
earned the sobriquet of "the old reliabIe.''
Nearly seventeen years ago the Bryant &
Stratton" st. Paul Business college was es.
tablished, with Prof. Faddis as principal. The
road was not an easy one at first, but Prof.
Faddis was not the man 20 be discouraged,
and he persisted in his efforts until at last
the merits of his institution became
known. With this knowledge the work was
comparatively easy for it is an institution
which only needs ty be known to be apprecia-
ted. 1t is furthermore an institution which
never stands still. Prof Fadds and his able
corps of assistants are ever on the alert for ad
vancement. They have introduced
valuable system of practical business
work which trains pupils in the
every day work of life. The pupils represent
business men or firms, and do business with
each other as if in actual trade. A bank is
one of the institutions of the college, and by
means of this, checks are given and re.
ceived in payment of bills, bank ac.
counts are kept, and, indeed, all the par
aphernalia of actual business is at hand. An
inspection of this plan will demonstrate
to any one it's practical value, and the student
who successfully graduates from Prof. Fad
dis st. Paul Business college is uuaIi
fed to manage any ordinary business He is
fitted to accept a responsible position. and, in
fact, he advances in few months more than
he could gain in as many years if he entered
business work without especial training.
The graduates who have gone out of the
college into active business have given Prof.
Faddis testimonials by the hundred showing
the advantages of the college and their appre,
citation of its facilities. Business men, also,
who have employed young men coming
from the college add their prac.
tical testimony to its great
efficiency. In fact, it is almost impos-
sible to overestimate its value, especially since
the introduction OF the practical department,
whereby the STUDENTS do business with each
other as though engaged in actual trade.
TESTIMONY OF THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
The St. Paul chamber of commerce gave the
following evidence of the appreciation of the
st. Paul Business college:
