Coleman College Annex.

The marvellous increase in the enrol
ment Of students at Coleman National
Business College of Newark, which,
with other business reasons, has made
necessary the addition of large annex
to that very popular institution, is but
the natural outcome of years of faith
full work in behalf of thousands of young
men and women who have been trained
for business careers at Coleman College
and who have attained great success
through such training.
Although the graduates Of Coleman
College number many thousands there
are none who fail to add their encom
iums of praise Of the methods peculiar
to this grand business institution Els.
tablished forty years ago by the Bryant
q Stratton chain of business colleges, il
was purchased in 1881 by Professor
Henry Coleman, who came from the
foremost business school of the day,
where he bad devoted seventeen years
of his life. Success was at once achiev.
ed, and today there is not a business
school in the land that bears better
reputation for thorough, practical work
than does Coleman National Business
College.
And today, after forty years of teach
ing, having added year by year increas
I'd facilities, Professor Coleman has
found it necessary to provide an annex,
which he has located in the magnificent
Strauss building at the corner of Acad-
envy and Halsey streets, Newark, where
the entire top floor is devoted to the
preparatory academic and shorthand
and typewriting departments Of the
school. This annex opened on October
18th last.
The Strauss building has just been
completed and is one Of the most beauti-
full and best equipped in the city. 1t
has two entrances, one on Academy St.
and the other on Halsey st. In addition
to broad and spacious stairways, an
electric elevator runs from the Academy
street entrance to all the upper floors.
The building is lighted by both gas and
electricity and is provided with the
latest scientific heating and ventilating
apparatus. The sanitary arrangements
are beyond comparison.
The college occupies the entire top
floor of this fye-story building. An
eighteen foot ceiling. windows on all
sides and an immense dome in the main
assembly hall, make this an ideal place
for school purposes. The main hall is
one of the handsomest school rooms to
be found in America. From the center
of the dome hangs magnificent chan
delier, and the dome as well as the rooms
are ercircled with jutting incandescent
lights When this hall is illuminated
the effect is one of surprising beauty.
Adjoining the main hall on the north
the preparatory and academic depart
ment is located. Nearly 10000 square
feet of space have been added in addi
ton to the present large apartments
over the depot of the Central Railroad of
New Jersey, which are still to be re
tanned. New and modern furniture has
been installed in the new annex Every
effort has been put forth to make the
courses rapid and yet complete. Cole
man College is one of the oldest schools
in this country and has always kept up
to the times. Prof. Coleman's latest
move is ample evidence that the school
is not only kebt up-to date, but that it
anticipates the future.
