TEXT	Educational institutions are the symbol of that which has made our country great and our people intelligent. In Newark we find no school or college more worthy of mention than the New Jersey Business College, which is conducted by Messrs. Miller and Drake, gentlemen whose reputation as successful teachers extends throughout the United States. The New Jersey Business College was established in the fall of 1874, and has constantly increased ia popularity and patronage. Beginning with a very small attendance, the number has grown until the earollment for the present year reaches over 300, and a grand total of over 2,000. This success has not been won by a resort to sensational advertising or a short and catch-penny course of study. Believing that a business education comprises something more than a smattering of book-keeping, it has been the constant endeavor to establish a course of study in fact as well as name, and a business college worthy of the title. That this purpose has not failed the growth of, and confidence in, the College testify. Visitors are always welcome, and persons wishing to pursue a course of business study or to become familiar with the methods of instruction are cordially invited to call. This institution qualifies persons in the best manner for desirable positions in actual business. It is intended for the thorough training for business life of young men and women of fourteen years and upward. It occupies pleasant rooms, neatly furnished, and is conducted by gentlemen of experience in commercial education. Students may commence at any time and progress as rapidly as their proficiency will admit. A special evening school for those who cannot attend during the day is a feature at this College. The course of study embraces lectures on general topics, practical grammar, commercial law, phonography, book-keeping, penmanship, correspondence, Literary Society exercises, arithmetic, actual practice, busmess forms, German, drawing, and spelling. A library containing hundreds of volumes indicative of the course of study pursued is accessible to students. The building is a large brick structure, admirably located, three stories of which are occupied by the various departments of the College. The faculty comprises C. T. Miller, principal of practical department, teacher of commercial law, correspondence, arithmetic, grammar, elocution, plain and ornamental penmanship, and lecturer on the science of accounts, etc.; William E. Drake, principal of theory department, teacher of arithmetic, correspondence, lecturer on commercial law, etc. ; C. O. Sutton, assistant in theory department and teacher of penmanship; Gustavus Fischer, A. M., teacher of German; J. F. Steiger, architectural drawing ; J. S. Baldwin, mechanical drawing. The Alumni Association is becoming an interesting feature to those who are nearing graduation, and to those who have graduated this association preserves memories of college days, serves to 'stimulate those who are striving for a diploma, and unites as one brotherhood all those who are fortunate enough to enter the institution. An annual catalogue, elegantly arranged and executed, containing in detail all matters pertaining to the College, may be had on application. Messrs. Miller & Drake are to be congratulated on the success that rewarded their efforts, and that they are deserving of it is attested to by the thousands of testimonials they constantly receive from all over the country.
