TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
One, somewhat " posted up" touching Men and things, would, at first view, naturally enough presume it but an easy and pleasing task, to teach another a thing, which that person's own Professional duties-the duties he owes to his Creditors-the duties he owes to his family as well as his own personal interest and reputation require him to know. Acting under such mistaken notions, aud from a well matured conviction, that none but a thorough Accountant himself skilled in the practical du- ties and personally familiarized with the entire routine of the Counting-House, could successfully train young gentlemen for the performance of their duties as practical Book-Keepers, the Principal of this Institution opened Jones' Commercial School of St. Louis, early in 1841, UPON A NEW AND STRICTLY ORIGINAL PLAN OF IMPARTING INSTRUC- TION. Although that plau differs, in every essential particular, from those of its pre- decessors and cotemporaries, who had attempted, or were endeavoring, through the use of Bennett's, Colt's, Foster's, and other works on Book-Keeping, to qualify young gentlemen as practical Accountants, and invariably failed in their efforts, this school for a long time seemed destined to share the same fate, but of late years things seem to have changed, and the notions of business men have changed with them .-

JONES' COMMERCIAL COLLEGE.
Then it was universally maintained that young gentlemen should go to the Count- ing-House in order to be educated for business pursuits. Now it is pretty. generally held to be essentially necessary, that young gentlemen be educated for the Counting- House just as much so as for any other profession or pursuit. For thirteen consecu- tive years we have labored in this city for the accomplishment of a single object- viz: the formation and permanent establishment of a reliable reputation as a Pub- lic Accountant, and Successful Educator. That has been our highest aim and this our only Profession. How far we have succeeded in making an impression upon the business community, we leave our " Living Epistles" to say : more than two hun- dred of whom in this city, are recognized as practical Book-Keepers and receiving as ample remuneration for their services as those who have been qualified under any other circumstances. Our rooms are open to the public during business hours and we have at all times endeavored to cultivate the friendly acquaintance of Practical Accountants, knowing full well that they only are fully prepared to appreciate what is of utility, and reprobate that which is useless in a business education, and we say without fear of contradiction that no experienced business man, or Practical Ac- couutant, can visit our rooms and become acquanted with our peculiar mode of impart- ing instruction, and detect the slight difference between our operations and those of the Counting-House in which he was educated, and notwithstanding all this, there are some good men in this community, gentlemen of reputed intelligence and high moral character, who are deservedly popular in their profession as practical Account- ants, that think they are doing their young friends a kindly office by indiscrimi- nately branding Commercial Schools and Colleges " HUMBUGS" ! ! For such we have never held unkind feelings. Indeed, entertaining the opinions they do and occu- pying the positions they hold, we cannot see how they could believe and do other- wise. The old fashioned Schools with which they were acquainted "in the days of their youth" were all of this stamp, (2. e. Humbugs !) and they never visit new institu- tions of this kind, and therefore their " ways are equal," and their'views are but an inevitable result growing out of an impartial comparison of what themselves have acquired under the tuition of experienced Practical Accountants, with what inex- perienced, incompetent, theoretical teachers have attempted to do. Did we under- stand the plan and extent of instruction adopted in this Institution, no better than they do, it is more than probable that we should lend them a helping hand to exter- minate the imaginary evil, and add our warning voice to the Young and Unsus- pecting ; but in this particular, we have an advantage over them : Hence their in- nocency and our accountability. There is a practical Book-Keeper whose name is H- at this time in charge of Books in one of our most respectable mercantile houses, at a salary of one thousand dollars per annum, who upon completing his course in Book-keeping under our instruction some years since, commenced and conducted the following conversation with the Principal of this Institution, in the presence of the whole School.
Mr. H-(standing up at his Desk. ) " Mr. Jones, why is it, that you have so many enemies among the practical Accountants and business men of this City ?"
