An nONoR TO THE CITY,

The Business College of Prof. Faddis-An
Institution Without Peer in the North
west-The Opening of the Fall Term.
Yesterday afternoon GLOBE represen-
tative had the pleasure of calling on Prof.
W. A. Faddis, the experienced and accom-
plished principal of that worthy institu-
ton, the st. Paul Business college, and
who has recently taken radical and de-
cidedly progressive departure and one
moreover, which cannot fail to reflect
credit upon the city, and to rebound to
the welfare of his patrons and all intelli-
gent men at large. Allusion is made to
the benefits arising from his recent change
of quarters, the business college having
been transferred from its former quarters
in the Fire and Marine building, to the
handsome and centrally located building
recently vacated by the st. Paul high
school, and located on the northwest
corner of Seventh and Jackson streets. In
referring to the change, language is
scarcely adequate to describe the improve
ment that has taken place over the old
quarters. In the bright, cheerful, airy
and wholesome class and reception rooms
which now greet the visitor, one would
hardly recognize the cramped up and
poorly ventilated rooms of old. The
regeneration has been as perfect as
though brought about by the golden
wand of the magician. By the ingenious
construction of ventilating shafts, and the
arrangement of transoms and windows so
as to admit of the greatest degree of fresh
air and sunshine, the sitting atmosphere
of old has given way to currents of fresh
and evenly graduated air, SO that the
prerequisites, and indeed the very sine qua
non to intelligent study, has been attained
to degree of perfection seldom acquired
even at the famous seats of learning in the
east, where the question of sanitary ap-
pointments in the arrangements of reclta-
ton and class rooms has long been regard
ed as science. Fully approaching the
fact that in order to accomplish good brain
work the student must have the benefit of
proper surroundings Prof. Faddis has
long made this subject special study, and
that he has at last succeeded in securing
rooms which afford the student the great
est degree of sunshine, pure air and bright
and cheerful surroundings, all will ac-
knowledge who may have the good fortune
to call. Situated in the very heart of the
city, the st. Paul Business college,
with its improved and enlarged surround
ings, has entered upon sphere of useful
ness well merited by its able and worthy
principal. The recitation, class and audi
ence rooms have been fitted up in elegant
and tasteful manner and every convent
ence is at hand that can conduce to the
health and pleasure of the student.
1t has long been conceded that in the
rapidly expanding cities of the Northwest
only those can achieve success whose men
tai faculties have been trained to cope
with the skilled gladiators who seek for
positions of honor and trust in the intel
lectual and commercial avenue of the
worlds affairs.
This is exactly the inducement offered
by Prof. Faddis and his corps of trained
assistants. To the young men of the
country he offers business education and
commercial training, which none
who expect to succeed in
life's battle can overlook, and for
the great good he has already accomplish
ed he is deserving the praise of all good
men, while he may rest assured that his
present efforts to advance the cause of ed
ucation will meet with the encouragement
of all who have the interest of the state
and city at heart.
