VIEW OF PREPARATORY DEPARTMENT.

THE BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER BUSINESS COLLEGE

S now entering upon its 21st year, during which time it has been under the fostering care of Prof. W. H. Sadler, its founder and president. Over twenty years of hard, unceasing labor have been devoted to building up to its high standard of excellence the BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER BUSINESS COLLEGE, and it may be safely said that to-day it is the largest and most successful strictly private school in the entire South. No stronger evidence of its popularity and usefulness can be presented than the fact that its pupils by thousands can be found in all sections of the country discharging the duties of intelligent and successful business men.

'The past year has again shown an increase in our patronage. Our patrons are among the wisest and best thinkers of this country, who have accorded us their strongest endorsement. With such a past, we are justified in the pride we take in our Institution ; and while we return our thanks for the generous appreciation accorded our efforts, we are proud to think that appreciation has been honestly earned. So too, we hold it to be sufficiently demonstrated by facts, that the theoretical and practical features combined in our system of instruction secure to the student the very best business educa- tion attainable anywhere in the world.

Experience has proved beyond a doubt that the system of training in this school has given to its pupils habits of exactness, punctuality and dispatch, which have been great helps toward their promotion and success in after life.

Those who are prompted to investigate the matter will find here some assurance that we possess facilities and experience which cannot fail to secure a valuable return to any who may favor our Institution with their patronage.

VISITORS ALWAYS WELCOME.

It will well repay the time and trouble of a visit to our rooms to witness the absorbing attention of the students, who are eagerly engaged in dealings with each other, and who are required to keep a strict and systematic account of all their transactions, and settle their daily or monthly balances. The remark is frequently made by visitors, that never before had they seen such absorbing interest on the part of pupils in any school. We cordially invite parents and others who are interested, to call and examine our superior facili- ties for thorough instruction in business affairs, and we feel confident that no one will go away without having a higher appreciation of business education, and greater confidence and a livelier interest in our school.

There is just enough novelty about the course of instruction to interest students, and they generally become intensely interested before they are aware of it. We refer with great satisfaction to the hundreds-we might truly say thousands-of our graduates and former pupils who are holding prominent positions and are engaged in active business in this city and throughout the entire country.

We are gratified to know that this institution is held in such high 'esteem by the business men of this city. They are our strongest friends and best supporters, and not only patronize the College by sending their own sons and recommending others to take a business course, but apply to us for book- keepers and other assistants whenever they need them.

For the convenience of those who cannot visit us, we have briefly de- scribed in the following pages our course of study, plan of instruction, and facilities offered.

Merit, the basis of honorable success.

THE BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER BUSINESS COLLEGE, BALTO.

OUR SCHOOL

S designed to educate for the practical affairs of every-day life, and not alone to pre- pare its pupils simply to become clerks and bookkeepers, but also to impart such a broad culture as is now demanded by the progressive nature of the nineteenth century.

BRARCEES TAUGET.

UR Course of Study affords a training for business pursuits, provides special opportunities for mental drill and discipline, and brings the pupil in daily contact with those things which are of every-day use in the future.

The system, broader and brighter than the old-time one of "learning a trade," more simple and direct than the so-called liberal education, insists that a good educa- tion must be based upon such branches of study as will enable the student to earn a living when beginning life on his own account.

From the training afforded in this school, graduates enter fresh upon business pursuits as skilful as those who serve years of apprenticeship in the store, besides having the added and incalculable advantage of educated faculties.

BUSINESS COURSE.

HE all-pervading necessity of a cultivation of the business faculties is far greater than is recognized at a first glance. The influences derived from a course of instruction in such an institution as ours are beneficially applicable to the career of every young man in the country, no matter what may be his chosen profession or what his lot in life. It puts the mental faculties in practical working order, accustoms the mind to that habit of comparison the operation of which utilizes as well as helps in creating the knowledge-stock of the world.

It bestows presence of mind, begets quickness of perception, readiness and accuracy in calculation, and a systematic habit in the management of affairs. It teaches the law of contracts and the usages of business life. It implants a readiness in handling figures which is of incalculable importance to all who expect to come in practical contact with the world in any capacity.

In short, it drills the perceptive and reasoning faculties, and makes of the student an intelligent man, prepared to fill his duties in any sphere of life. In a country like ours, such a one alone is of value as a citizen, aside from all considerations of his own welfare, or that of those whose fortunes are connected with his own.

While the general supervision of the College, its discipline and care, rest with the President, he is assisted by a large corps of experienced instructors laboring in their special departments. This systematic division into

DEPARTMENTS

is a distinctive feature of the Institution, and is more thoroughly worked out, and brought to a higher state of perfection here than ever before reached in any similar

A wise man changes his mind ; a fool never.

THE BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER BUSINESS COLLEGE, BALTO.

institution ; bringing the art of imparting specific detailed knowledge in every branch of business study into a nicely adjusted and perfectly balanced scientific action.

The effect of this division is to secure teachers of greater ability than are usually found in schools, while it reacts powerfully upon the pupils, and tends to a higher excellence in every department, exciting the enthusiasm of both teacher and pupil to a degree scarcely attainable when dissimilar studies are committed to the same hands. Hence, competent and

EXPERIENCED TEACHERS

for each department is the rule absolutely necessary to carry out this plan ; each in- structor is carefully selected with special reference to his proficiency in the particular department entrusted to his care, while his efficiency in imparting his knowledge is enhanced by constant practice and experience.

By devoting a prescribed time each day to each branch of his studies, and profitably diversifying the day with different but suitable systems, the student acquires distinct im- pressions, readily retains them, and becomes thoroughly familiar with all.

BOOKKEEPING.

FIRST-CLASS Accountant is at the head of this department, supported by a large corps of able Assistants. The art or science of Bookkeeping is not the exclusive or essential feature of a business education, but it is the most im- portant of these features. For this reason, the Institution lays great stress upon the faithful inculcation of this important science. Every facility, every modern appliance, every device of invention and ingenuity will be found applied in our improved system, which business men and accountants have pronounced at once the simplest, most practi- cal, accurate, and best ever put in use.

ACTUAL BUSINESS.

HIS department is in charge of a practical accountant, an actual business man, with able Assistants. A miniature Business World in itself, this department is a field for thorough, practical application of the principles and methods of busi- ness. It is the most complete and effective pian yet deviscd for familiarizing the student with the ways and walks of the commercial world. Its transactions are actual, and just as they occur in the everyday movements of business. In it, the student occupies in turn every position known to the personnel of commerce, from Shipping-clerk to Capi- talist. Now a Bookkeeper or Accountant, he is at another time a Salesman or Bank- teller, and in turn a Merchant, Broker, Cashier, Banker, Manager, etc., in actual control of the business attached to his department, which is divided up into sub-departments of Merchandizing, Commercial Correspondence, Brokerage, Exchange and Collection, Banking, etc. The activity of reality is given, as it could be given in no other way, through the medium of the department of

Say little ; think much ; do more.

THE BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER BUSINESS COLLEGE, BALTO.

IRTERCOMMAURICATIOR.

HIS feature is enjoyed through permanent connection with the International Busi- ness College Association of Business Colleges, located in thirty-four of the princi- pal cities of the United States and Canada, where our membership enables our students to carry on business with actual correspondents in all the great business centres of two nations, to make and to receive actual daily shipments and consignments of mer- chandise, to import and export wares and products, to draw and deal in Bills of Ex- change and Commercial paper, and to enter into and take practical part in transactions, from the most simple to the most intricate and complex known to the machinery of finance and commerce.

The facilities thus afforded for improvement in the daily habituation with the details of business, the constant application of theory to practice, the solid implanting of cardi- nal business principles, and the knowledge of business peculiarities, differences in cur- rencies, exchanges, and modes of dealing in various sections of the country, by actual contact therewith, are not to be supplied by any other method.

PEREARSEIP.

Approved Position for Writing at a Standing Desk.

HISDEPARTMENT is in charge of the best teachers of that art in the country. The professor who presides over this department is absolutely without a rival in the art, and has awakened more interest in the subject, and at the same time pro- duced more satisfactory results than ever before in the long his- tory of our institution. This is not only our opinion, but it is the endorsement accorded by our patrons and pupils, as well as that of the business community.

In every case a neat, business- like hand and rapid style is taught and acquired. Careful attention at all times is given by teachers to correct position, movement, know- ledge of principles, slant and size, grouping and spacing of letters and proper proportions. Princi- ples used in the formation of fig- ures,abbreviationsand marksused in business, receive special atten- tion, and are illustrated by the Pro- fessor on the blackboard in im- parting instruction to his pupils.

THE BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER COLLEGE, BALTIMORE.

So we pass, step by step, on through the alphabet, from the simplest to the most complicated letters, developing each as we pass in beauty of form and rapidity of motion, until we have covered the whole field of small letters, capitals and figures, forming letters, words, sentences and pages, striving with the most intelligent effort to bring the fingers, hand and arm under complete control of the will, until a good handwriting be- comes an established fact.

Our students are noted everywhere for the grace and finish of their chirography, and are highly appreciated in consequence as clerks or bookkeepers.

With a view to demonstrate the superiority of the advantages of our Penmanship Department we have had photo-engraved, from the original, fac-similes of the hand- writing of a few pupils, showing their style of writing before and after receiving instruc- tion in our school.

Mr. J. IT. Allen, of Scottsburg, Va., shows what he can accomplish in less than four months' work with us in the department of penmanship.

Calimero

The improvement shown by Mr. L. M. Climer, of Gibsonville, N. C., was acquired in three months. He was a most diligent pupil and is now reaping the result of his application, having returned to his old position at Gibsonville, N. C., at an increase of double the salary received before attending our school.

This age demands practical men.

THE BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER BUSINESS COLLEGE, BALTO.

MATREMATICS.

EIE Professor in charge of this department is a graduated mathematician, thorough alike in theory and practice. Separate and special in its features, this depart- ment offers the student an education in mathematics as comprehensive as that of any collegiate institution in the country, and vastly more practical in character.

Commercial calculations and

BUSINESS ARITRAETIC

come under this head, and here the lecture plan, illustrated by blackboard demonstra- tions, is applied in class and general exercises, to develop its principles, and show their practical application to business problems. This is a feature possessed in no other simi- lar institution, the advantages of which are absolutely essential to the success of the accountant and business man.

Students are drilled in all the Short Methods until they can handle numbers with ease and rapidity, and with the accuracy of experts.

This department receives the special attention of Prof. W. H. Sadler, the senior author of "Sadler's Counting House Arithmetic," the most complete and exhaustive work yet published on the subject of Practical Business Calculations.

Each pupil in the school may be found at least one hour every day in this depart- ment discharging the duties assigned to him the previous day, and receiving instruction through blackboard illustrations in the most rapid and approved methods of commercial calculations.

It is in this department that exactness in the performance of each duty is required, and nothing short of exactness in the fullest sense of the term passes for any worth.

With a large majority of pupils the idea seems to prevail that if they understand the theory of the work to be performed, or the principles upon which the question is based, that nothing further is necessary, but in fact a vast amount of drill is found necessary before they are able to execute the work needed, correctly and promptly.

With the business man, theory is well enough in its proper place ; but if the young aspirant for business honors cannot execute correctly and rapidly the work placed before him, his theoretical knowledge will avail him nothing whatever.

Parents are here notified that it is the desire of the President and teachers that pupils should devote time enough to home study, each day, to prepare the following day's lessons. In cases where the pupil's health and circumstances will permit, home study will be found to promote rapid progress very materially.
