N. S. BEARDSLEY. am amused
to hear some business man say, 1.-The
education acquired at busin eSs college
is of no practical value" and "It is i'm
possible to learn practical methods at
business college," Such men are
either ignorant of the work and mis-
sion of the commercial college or have
been prejudiced by some poor school or
some unworthy pupil. Would it do to
Judge our high schools and colleges by
their poor and Indifferent students?
Whom shall we credit for the present
brief and systematic methods of record
ing and tranSacting business? 1t is not
the business man, certainly; he has
never invented anything; but the men
who have devoted their lives to the
work, and whose methods of rapid and
accurate calculation, of brief and sys-
tematic record, have been carried to the
such men as .E. q. Folsom, Ira May
hew, the Bryants. Stratton, FELTON,,
Packard and host of others, whose
works shall follow them and be of
untold benent TO countless millions.
Some business men pass away and their
places are filled by others, and the only
monument left is the marble slab on the
hill, inscribed, "Born - "Died
- and, perhaps, crest in Peace" |
am glad to know that there are many
business men who take different views
of the matter. They prefer to have
trained help, and come to the CONNER
cial school for it. They have not the
time to train their employees in the
things they should learn in the school.
They are not disposed to make the
young work year or two, under the
pretense of learning the business, be-
fore they are to draw any pay. Com
mercial schools do not claim to teach
special lines of business, but to give
such instruction as shall enable the stu
dent to adapt himself to the situation.

trained business men who will get to
the front. Consequently, believe thor
oughly in college preparation. If, on
the other hand, boy has no taste for
study, the four years of the college
course might better be given to learn
ing the details of some business; but |
think he will not get OH as fast
nor attain the eminence in bust
ness circles that his companion
who has fitted himself by college train
irfg will. In regard to women in.
business, think there are many Office
positions for which many young women
are we'll suited, and for such places
more or less study in commercial
branches is the best preparation. We
have of late years in our business
employed an increasing number of
young women, and almost always with
satisfactory results. | advise for girls
who intend to be business women Gull
tivation of the habit of thoroughness in
any and everything they have to do.
The chief failing of young women in
business is tendency to do things
rather loosely. Absolute correctness
and attention TO detail must be cult
waited. Strict attention to business and
to nothing else should be paid during
business hours, and conversation and
gossip not permitted.

are great many high school studies
which are of no benefit to man i'll one
business, though they might help man
in another business. As for women, l
think they should be classed and treated
as men are. They are undoubtedly sue
cessful in business. They should have
precisely the same education as boys.
Many of them are fully as capable of
taking charge of a business as men are.
The only possible fault to be found with
them is that the majority of them do
not enter business to make it life
work. Most of them expect to marry,
and consequently have not the interest

are, however, many exceptions to the

parents had died in their infancy 80
as to preclude possibility OF his future
existence, it is the Republican party.
The party which rose to its feet and
shouted its praise and Thanksgiving
aloud on yesterday, which recorded
its high estimate of his character and
and services, has been covered by him
with odium and laid low in the dust
OF defeat. Men stood up and thanked
him who, on account OF his corrupt
and lawless leadership, would never
vote in Congress again. The last act
OF their official lives was to thank the
man who wrought their political ruin.
Dog-like to the last, they licked the
hand which smote them. The currish
servility which made them the facile
tools OF Bully Reed continued to the
end. With bitterness in their hearte,
but with praises on their lips, they
stood and thanked him. Then picked
up their hats and went out into the
cold world.
Democrats to whom he had render.
cd greater service than has been
rendered by the greatest Demo ,rat in
in the country ungratefully declined
to acknowledge their obligations.
But fortunately for the comfort and
solace Of the Speaker, the number OF
those whom he had hurt was greater
than the number OF tho,e he had help,
ed, and therefore he was thanked by p
vote OF the House.
We feel it but due ID the Democratic
party to assure Mr.. Reed that the
