 listablishcd for the special piirpose of qualifying Opcnitors for the Neiv 
 Telegraph Lines notv biiilding through Canada. 
 
 This Institution, although establislicd but a short time ago, has already become one of the 
 Permanent Institutions of Canada. Its rapid growth and prosperity are due to the demands 
 of tlie Telegraph community ; and the necessity of establishing a thorough and practical 
 Institute at the present time, when the whole Dominion is being traversed by a complete net- 
 work of Telegraph Lines, and when the prospects of the futiire of the busiftess are better 
 than ez'cr before, is too clearly demonstrated in itself to wed any further commendation. 
 
 The Dominion Telegraph Company have already built Lines from Toronto to Buffalo; 
 all along the Lines Offices have been opened, and have been supplied 7uith Operators exclu- 
 sively from this Institute, xvho are giving entire satisfaction. Those Lines are now about to 
 be extended to Montreal and Sarnia, and hundreds of Offices will be opened.

 "Women, as yet ig '■ of the S'elegrapher's 64lplat6ct^ will be employed. 3 iie Jnstiiute will

 She Sa/.-.rits of cvperienced Operators are from $^^ to $6o per month^ and the States $IOO per month.

 I have no hc^iitution in suyimj, tliat I cimsider any persons wishimj to acquire a thorowjhly practical knoirtedyc of the Art 
 of Telcijruphy, can do so at ijunr Institute. A ijreiit nundter of Operators, hutli mule and fcimde, trill lie required the coin- 
 iiiij Sprinij and Summer, on the New Lines now huildlmj, and competent Gnuiuutes of your Institute irill he emploired, as 
 they are required. Yours Truly, MARTIN RYAN, Sup't Dominion Ttlcgraiih Co. 
 
 64 fair hnowledge of reading and writing are all the necessary qualifi4iations^ and any person 
 cf ordinary ability can become, a competent Operator.

 TSE atriflKS OF A fEXK<JBA3?HE». 
 
 Tliere is no Trade or I'rofe.ssion which recpurcs so little amount of labor, and at the siinu' tinm none 
 where the employee lias the same amount of freedom anil independence. Nearly all Operators have an 
 Office entirely to themselves, pleasantly eituatcd and furnished, where they send and ri'ccive their dis])atehcs 
 from all (piarters of the continent, unmolested or "watched" by "masters," "foremen," i^'o., as is the case 
 in nuiHt other lines of business. The Operator's Superintendent is ^^enerally many hundred miles away, 
 an<l the Operator is left entirely to himself, to act and think as he pleases. In nuiny eitses Operators 
 (owing to having so much si)nro time while on thity) study for the professions ; many carry on some other 
 business in connection with their offlee, sueh as Booksellinji, Express Olfiee, Sewing Machine Itusiness, ifec ; 
 and those nt Railway Stations act as Ticket Ai,'ents, thereby doubling the salary they would have received 
 for Telegraphy alone. ( )n all IJailroads Telegraph < Operators are most generally chosen for the most 
 important positions, such as Agent, .Superintendent, Manager, iVe. Young men have nt all times found 
 the businose easy, pleasant, honorable, and remunerative. 
 
 We nsk notio to "nter the business, and would advise none to do so, without looking n])on it as nn 
 investment, and expecting to be benefited by the same. Our competent graduates found it to pay. After 
 having completed their eoui'se, and being a.ssisted to an office, three niontli.s' salary repaid them for their 
 outlay, and now they continue in constant employment, and at the same time feeling that with their trade 
 they are in an independent position, and can jirocure employment at any time and anywhere. The old 
 Lines are continually increasing their business and ojiening new offices, rendering it necessary to employ 
 many who have not a very perfect knowledge of the business. Many of our Students found employment 
 on the liailroad Lines lieforo completing the course. The neces-sity for young men to learn the business 
 is fully evinced by tlie letter (in this circular) of the Manager of the New Lines, who will require a large 
 number of Ojierators, and as the existing lines are already short of Operators, the jmispects for those who 
 learn could not bo brighter, the business being yet in its infancy, and unlike nearly nil other lines of 
 business, which are cuowdbd from vh.\k to yk.\r. 
 
 L — The business in itself is faseinaling in the extreme. The idea of communicating instantaneously 
 a distance of thousands of miles, .nf.vku i,<)se.s its charm. 
 
 2. — Enterprising young men and ladies can obtain a good salary in a shorter space of time than in 
 any other business. 
 
 3. — The Telegrapher may select his place of business and residence in accordance with his fancy, either 
 in the great metropolis, the quiet village, the fashionable watering place, or the isolated cabin on tlie [dains. 
 
 4.— In many instances the Telegraph is connected with other business, nnd thus advantages of great 
 value are received. Some Operators do a thriving business in tliis way. 
 
 5. — Railway Companies, Express Companies, and JIanufacturers oll'or a premiunf by way of large 
 salaries for the services of Telegraphers to act as Agents, Book-keepers, &c. 
 
 6. — Telegraph Operators not unfrequently have the opportunity afforded them of travelling to distant 
 parts of the country free. „ " ^ " ' • ' 
 
 7. — The study and practice of Telegraphy is not tedious, but on the contraiy, to those having leisure 
 hours, it would serve as u pastime rather than a task.
