AT BUSINESS SCHOOL.

ness College and heard, besides an
interesting address from Mr..
Lovelace, agent of the N, c, q
St. L. Ry., some of the classes re-
citing. The first exercise was In
photography. Prof. Combs is in
charge of this department. About
fifty words were read to the class.
each pupil being required to write
them on a piece of paper. When
this was completed one OF the pu'
pills was asked to read and pro-
nounce each of these words. On
this occasion the duty fell to the
lot of Miss Eleanor Spencer.
Every word was correctly given
and her average was 100 or per-
feet. The other pupils were then
required to correct their papers,
those who were not perfect, &C
cording to the paper read, writ
ing each mispelled word one dozen
times.
The next class called was in
mathematics. Rapid calculations
were given special attention.
Prof. McCormac, we discovered,
was in his element here. The
objects sought were altogether
practical-that of speed, accuracy
and method. Addition and null
tiplication of different proper
tions, annunciated by the teacher,
were done in rapid manner and
the results in every case announced
almost as soon as the last line was
drawn. Various and complex
propositions in interest were done
as quickly and promptly and il
was indeed astonishing the amount
of skill and facility developed in
the school since the opening a
few weeks ago. Instead of weeks
it looked to visitors that the
standard already attained should
have taken months of careful
training.
The address of Mr.. Lovelace
was replete with practical sug-
gestions and ideas. He drew
from his years of training and ex-
perience some very interesting
thoughts and these were presented
in an attractive way to the school.
He dwelt principally on teleg-
raphy, first, reminding them of
the fact that there was great de-
mand for more operators, and the
advantages of thorough training
in this line of work. He recalled
the fact that in the profession
there were large number of te-
legraphers and railroad men ad-
dicted to habits which unfit them
for business, and the strong temp
tations which lay in their way,
urging pupils to profit by these
examples, and by applying them
selves to business not only Sc
cure good positions, but make
good and useful men. The adj
dress was heartily and cordially
received.
The school has now been in
operation only since August 81
and has grown in numbers to al
most fifty and in scholarship al
most equal to school of many
months its senior. The officers
and trustees may we'll be proud of
the work accomplished. We be-
lieve the future success of the
Union City Business College Is pin
ready assured. Not only so, 6nk
that it will be second in 6pe
ways to no institution in thel
try.
