COMMERCIAL LAW.

PRACTICING lawyer, of high standing at the Baltimore Bar, presides over this department. The importance of an acquaintance with the principles of common business law has come to be so generally recognized among business men, that an institution which does not make instruction therein a feature is naturally regarded

Fear no man and do justice to all men.

with distrust. Here, it is done whenever it can be done in our course. The oral and practical plans of instruction are combined. Illustrated lectures are delivered before the students, in which the underlying principles of contracts, usage, liability, forms of business papers, responsibility of endorser, necessity of protests, partnerships special and general, contracts, rights of property, etc., are made clear, to be subsequently impressed in class recitations, and practiced in the actual business department. This is regarded as one of the strong features of this Institution, and its importance cannot well be overestimated.

BUSINESS CORRESPONDERCE.

OMMERCIAL Letter Writing, an art indispensably necessary to the accurate and satisfactory transaction of business, receives particular attention in our course. Brevity, besides being the soul of wit, is the essence of business correspondence. To say exactly what is meant, in unequivocal terms, without unnecessary words, and leaving no room for misapprehension, is the object of business correspondence. The ability to do this is of course acquired, and comes with practice and good teaching. Once acquired it is a recommendation in itself, for nothing is so fruitful of mischief and trouble as inexperience, uncertainty, or ambiguity of expression in business affairs, and the ability to write a real business letter is highly prized in commercial circles. In connection with this, style, grammar, phrasing and spelling receive all needed attention, to make instruction in the art thorough at all points. Indeed, pains are taken through- out our course to supplement and supply any insufficiencies and omissions in the common school education of students, so that they become distinguished as well for the use of their native tongue as for their practical knowlege of business affairs.

COURSE EXAMIRATIORS.

TUDENTS are passed from one department to another, through examinations, not too frequent to be irksome, and yet carefully adapted to the purpose of fixing and realizing instruction already had. Their past work is reviewed, and their standing and grounding assured as they go along, by a special system exactly opposed to the harassing and utterly inutile routine of the cram and rote plan, the vicious results of which are simply to bewilder and cumber the mind and disgust the pupil. This ordeal, which is almost invariably dreaded by the student elsewhere, is looked forward to here with anticipation of pleasure and gratification. He knows it to be an added opportunity to mark his progress and fix the results gained, as well as clear up in his mind anything which has before been imperfectly grasped or cloudily comprehended. It makes certain of holding what has been attained, and mounting to the next step from a sure founda- tion. In these exercises the principle of personal instruction, which pervades our system as it is found nowhere else, is again applied thoroughly, and the Professor passes his pupil in the knowledge that he is informed upon his studies, not merely drilled in the unreasoning exercise of memory.

Difficulties, like thieves, often disappear when we face them.

Sessions

Of our School will begin on the Ist of October and continue until April Ist of the succeeding year.

HE night sessions of THE BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER BUSI- NESS COLLEGE are arranged for the convenience of those who cannot give day-time to the studies they wish to pursue with us. They invariably attract earnest and attentive workers, and result in incalculable benefit to students. Many an enterprising young man, passing his days in the pursuit of some humble avocation to earn his daily bread, has utilized his spare evening hours to fit himself here for higher and better things, and has thus been able to command a success that was impossible through any other plan. All the features of our day instruction are reproduced in the night ses- sions, and the advantages we offer to students of one class are accorded fully to those of the other.

We make every effort to advance our evening students rapidly and satis- factorily. There are no classes, and if a student is unable to enter at the open- ing hour he may come in at any time and receive instruction the remainder of the evening and without delay. Each student is taught separately at his desk, and thus avoids the embarrassment arising from a consciousness of back- wardness and ignorance, and at the same time is able to advance as rapidly as possible.

Separate instruction may be obtained in Bookkeeping, Penmanship, Arith- metic, Rapid Calculations, Business Correspondence, Phonography; one or more of which may be taken according to the needs and desire of the student.

Young men having situations, and desiring to advance their business rela- tions, should be able to respond to the following with confidence :

Are you an accomplished penman ? Can you " average " accounts ?

Are you an expert bookkeeper ? Can you make partnership settelments?

Are you thorough in double entry ? Are you an accurate correspondent ?

Do you know commercial arithmetic ? Can you draw up business papers? Do you know counting-room practice ?

Are you gaining ground and securing an independence ?

What valuable service can you render in exchange for a higher salary?

Are you using any part of your income, or devoting any part of your time to preparing for earning a higher salary ?

Do you know when out of work you cannot successfully compete with others, unless you are their superiors in attainments ?

If you can answer the above questions satisfactorily, go on your way rejoicing.

But if these questions perplex and trouble you, make prompt arrange- ments for training, either day or night, at the

BRYART, STRATTOR & SADLER BUSINESS COLLEGE.

During the twenty years since the establishment of this Institution it has been well known to the citizens of Baltimore and to the people of the United States. Its halls have always been thronged with ambitious students, who have gone forth to their life-work, commending it to relatives, friends, and acquaintances, who have in turn secured for themselves within its walls a practical education.

It is never too late to learn.

REGULATIONS ADD TERMS.

WEER TO COMALAERCE.

HERE are no term divisions or vacations. The students' time, as to convenience may be consulted. They can enter at any time, and pursue their course of study as rapidly as their abilities will permit. A common-school education is all the educational preparation required to enter the College.

DISCIPLIRE.

Parents, in placing young men in our school, can feel assured that they will be under the most careful discipline, and that no efforts will be spared to fit them for future use - fulness. One of the most important lessons for a young man to learn is punctuality ; therefore, in all cases we insist upon it in the school. Our aim is to form correct busi- ness habits, as well as to impart instruction in business affairs. Hence, we demand from each pupil punctual attendance, prompt attention to duties, neatness in all his work, and gentlemanly conduct toward both teachers and fellow-pupils. Habits formed at school usually adhere closely during life ; hence too great care cannot be exercised. Such rules and regulations only are made as are required to guide the student pleasantly and prosperously in his relations and work toward self-governing, substantial business manhood. He is simply expected :-

Ist. To attend strictly to his own business as the only means of success in life.

. 2d. To be prompt, systematic, thorough and conscientious.

3d. To cultivate the sentiments and manners of a true business gentleman.

ATTERDARCE.

BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER BUSINESS COLLEGE. Dear Sir :- My clerk, J. Philip Hupmann, received a business education at your College, and I can, there- fore, say from my own knowledge that your institution is a most excellent one, and that a young man who has gone through your College has an education which will give him a position at any time.

BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER BUSINESS COLLEGE. Dear Sir :- It affords me great pleasure to testify as to the value of the course of instruction of your ex- cellent Business College. Having been acquainted since its establishment with the general method of teaching and instruction, and having very closely ob- served it more recently, from the fact of entering one of my sons in your College, I can with confidence re- commend it to the public as worthy of most liberal patronage and support. The plan adopted for instruc- tion in Bookkeeping, Penmanship, Arithmetic, Lec- tures on Commercial Law, and other subjects, affords very valuable instruction to the pupils, familiarizing them with the rules and usages of trade hy a course of actual business training, fits them for the duties of any station in life they may be called upon to assume. Wishing you a continuance of the successful career you have already attained, I am,

Very truly yours, FRANCIS P. STEVENS.

President Mount Vernon Company.

BALTIMORE, July 2, 1883. MESSRS. BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER, BALTIMORE. Dear Sirs :- I beg to thank you for your kind at- tention paid my son during his studies with you. Fully appreciating the advantages every young man possesses after a due course with you, I am,

From Hon. FERDINAND C. LATROBE.

BALTIMORE, July 13, 1883. MR. W. H. SADLER, President, &c.

Dear Sir :- It affords me pleasure to congratulate you on the success of the Bryant, Stratton & Sadler Business College.

I consider it a most valuable institution to our com- munity. A city largely depends for its prosperity on its commerce and manufactures, neither of which can be successfully carried on wi.hout a thorough sys- tem of accounts. An institution like yours where ac- counts and business affairs are so admirably taught, is therefore both necessary and beneficial. I hope your Last success will be an encouragement for continuing the good work of your College, and thus affording facilities for the youth of Baltimore to obtain a thorough business education I am,

Very respectfully yours, FERDINAND C. LATROBE.

Be as careful of the property of others as you would of your own.

Dear Sir :- I thank you for your kind attention to my son while under your charge. He has shown wonderful improvement in his studies.

BRYANT, STRATTON & SADLER COLLEGE, CHARLES ST., BALTO., MD.

Dear Sir :- Having had a son at your school, and having now in our employ some of your old students, I can say that your Commercial School is unex- celled in the country. I have been through your school, and seen the wonderful order and system with which it is worked. A boy going through its curri- culum is certainly well qualified for a business career whether in or out of the office, his education is per- fect in these respects. Among our correspondents we can frequently see the style of writing and figures which are prevalent at your school, performed, doubt- less, by your former students. In a word, not wishing to disparage others, I can commend your College to the public most cheerfully, knowing it has no superior.

Yours truly,

THOS. W. JOHNSON.
