 OITAWA, ONTARIO. 
 
 T» he Successful in Business Pursuits, obtain a Business Education. 
 
 Tb« Ottawa Bihikksh Colliok, situit- 
 Ud on Sp»rk« Street, oTer tlie Meelianics' 
 loetUute, is a School of ISuaiiiess for 
 young and middle aged men, aud adapt- 
 ed to meet the wauti of all claiises in 
 acquiring a good Gommerciul Educaiion. 
 The method of injtructioii is molt practi- 
 cal i« its character. 
 
 This is the first t'ommercini or Uor- 
 cintilr College in Kritish America for the 
 rtallj thorough and practical education of 
 young men on actual Kutineis Principlea. 
 
 The course of instrueiion adopted in 
 this Institution, we hare no hi<sitat\on in 
 saying, is peculiarly adairtfl te impart, in 
 the shortest time possible conti.'teni with 
 thoroughness, a knowledge which will 
 prere of lasting benefit anil untold value 
 te the recipient. 
 
 We make thoroughuess the tirst grand 
 object to be attained in going through a 
 eouisa uf iistruclion in the Ottawa busi- 
 ness College, Ki we think it is money 
 thrown away aud time lost to the Sludeal 
 if he atteads any Commercial College 
 and does not thoroughly uuderstand 
 what he has been studying ; and we do 
 not think that it would be doing justice 
 to ourselves or the Hiudenl were we to pass 
 him to a second set o' books without his 
 thoroughly understandinK the first set, or 
 b-ing able to answer all the quralions 
 thereon. 
 
 The next object after tborougnoss is 
 rapidity. 
 
 While we make ererytbing bend to 
 thoroughness, we, at the tame tlrae,slriTe 
 to e,dTauc» the student as rapidly as pos- 
 sible, iiH we know that the time of many 
 Students who attend a '('onmercial Col- 
 lege is limited, and eoaseqnent'y h- is 
 anxious to get at far advanced as possible 
 duriig the time he mny be attendisg Col- 
 lege. 
 
 Our method of instruction is so plainly 
 and practically taught that the student 
 is enabled to become complete master of 
 the science of Accounts in rery shortest 
 time possible. 
 
 Time for a ftiU Courso- 
 
 The time in which a Student passes 
 through a full course and reeeiTes his 
 diploma varies ancordi ig to the ability 
 of the student, but it seldom takes less 
 thau three, or more than six months. 
 Diploma. 
 
 A Diploma from thin Oollege is a 
 btaulifully engraved certificate, showing 
 ll^at the holder has puHd throigb the 
 
 prescribed course of instruction pursued 
 in the Ottawa Business Oollegi', and that 
 he is well qualified to take charge of any 
 set uf books whatever. 
 
 The examinations are of tho most strin- 
 gent kind, and during their progress the 
 etiictest possible watchfulness is observed 
 to prevent any collusion, so that each 
 candidate for a degree shall rest on hi.« 
 own resources and nerl'orm his work with- 
 out aid from anj fellow-s'.udenl. This is 
 found necessary because otherwise the 
 propiieiori could not with safely recon||f 
 mend Students to Slit nations in response 
 to the constant application! mads to them 
 for young men to fill v;»rioua posts Tho 
 I examlBatiuns are subjected to the super- 
 ' vision «f a board of well educated gen- 
 tleman, each being a practical man in his 
 ! own d*i artment. Should the result be 
 ! tatisfactory, a diploma, or certificate of 
 I merit is awarded. This document Is 
 signed by the principals of the Ccillege, 
 by th" other teachers, and by members 
 ' of the board of examiners, and is thus 
 i made a most effective instrument in the 
 ' hands of any one looking for em!.loyment 
 ' in auy mercantile house. It ii abo a 
 thorough guarantee for (xreont looking 
 out for employees that those rerommend- 
 ad are thoroughly fit tor the work re- 
 ! quired, for in no cat: will any bo nominat- 
 i ed without the full eonvction thai they 
 arc<rully competent for' the work reqtiised, 
 and also unquestioned moral rect'tude of 
 character. It is a Most gratifying faot 
 that those hilfherto recommended to 
 situations h:tve uniformly oarnod tho ap- 
 probation of their employers. 
 
 Before the Student receives his diploma 
 ' he is required to pass a successful examina- 
 I tion in oach one of the following 
 I branches : 
 
 I Book-keeping in all its Brauohea- 
 
 I adapted to every kind of business, such as 
 
 I MAMUrACTtTBINO, 
 
 Couuiutoii, 
 
 FORIIOX BXCHANQI, 
 
 JOBIIXU, 
 CltAXaiNO SlNBLI TO DoCBLi ElttRY, 
 
 Six Column JouaiiAL, 
 
 Doi-iLi Kntbt f or Rbtail Stobi, 
 
 IiUHBIBIMS, 
 
 HOTBLINO IeC, k»; 
 
 Penuanbhip, 
 
 COMHBROIAL AuiTBHITlC, 
 
 CouHiBOiAL Law, 
 Bankixo, 
 
 Stiahboatimq, 
 
 BCIINBBfl FOKUS, 
 
 SPKLLIlie, 
 
 and the manner of getting out Balance 
 Sheets and Accounts Current. 
 Vo Student that hai not passed a cre'- 
 ditable examinatio' in each of the iibove 
 branches can receive a diploma, although 
 he may, if unsuccessful in lome, study 
 up tho.ie special branches in which he 
 has failed, and in two or three week* 
 come up again for examinatidii ; but on 
 no conditions whatever will a diploma 
 be granted unless well merited. 
 
 W« think a great deal of hurm has 
 been done by tbe indiscriminate granting 
 of certificates and diplomas to Students 
 and i)ersons who have not really merited 
 them, and we would take this opportuni- 
 ty of emphatically asserting that he who 
 holds a diploma issued from the Ottawa 
 Business College holds a certificate of 
 qualification as to ability which will 
 go far in securing a situation wherever he 
 mar apply. 
 
 A Word to Toung Men. 
 
 Do not wait years of time in jierforming 
 the drudgery of th» ofllce or bundle boy. 
 The Ottawa Bdsibibi Collkqe open up 
 the way for your future i^rospority and 
 advancement. It is designed to renedy 
 the difficulties in your way tn Ingher 
 pursuits; to impart te you S'lch a know- 
 ledge as will enable you to com iiaud a 
 salary of $600 to $1,000 a year ; to aspire 
 to end reach the retpoctable and honor- 
 able position of the successful Banker, 
 Broker or Merchant. 
 
 Tbero is aa important caution that wo 
 would give to young men rntoring on 
 business I fe, and it is this simjile and 
 natural admonition, mrt*« iV//i« inUrett of 
 your eni/'loyer or emtomtr to Ur.n Ufitn you 
 or come to you. This the sure and speedy 
 mode torai.<eyou from the position of an 
 eui)<loyed person to thai of either an em- 
 ployer or an indiapensible hand in wfaa -

 with Ba always contested with your 
 lot, but yet aim at a higher, and th^ 
 higher you aim tho higher yon will bo

 ly OTir " afloat," and ths knowledge of | 
 Accounts has sared many a fortiiae, |

 3rd. — An auqualnlanctf with the simple 
 principlea of commercial law ia com^ietenl I 
 to keep prudent men " out of Ooiirl" and 
 [ save a thU amount of annoyance and 
 ' inaecurity. 
 
 4th.— Many a brilllaut career kaa had 
 I ita starting point in Ihe ability to write 
 I a good biisincas letter, while the aatisfac- 
 I tion of being master of this aceomplish- 
 I mentis worth much more than the cost 
 I of its acquirenent. 
 
 5th — The knowledge of lieing thorough- 
 ly eonipateut and able to All any position 
 in which aaaa may be placed in busi- 
 ness compensates him a hundred fold for 
 all the trouble aud cost in obtaiDine that

 and meet with that indiTidual inatructiou 
 ao reqniaite in this d'•p^r•ment of learning. 
 Thaatudent obtainingnurScholarahip can

 eouatry. 
 
 aEFKHENCTES. 
 
 7th.— Th" Ottawa Buisness College is 
 .icknowl'dged to be such. 
 
 8lh — If anyone has doubts 00 this point 
 they can easily be nmored by einroining 
 our cour."* of Ruiiness Training, and 
 Horace Groely says ; " 1 wish ever man 
 had such an education— every young man 
 especially. And if either of my sons had 
 liTcd, and I had trained him, as I .-ihould 
 hiive tried to do, to be a great and good 
 farmer, I should havp Wfi.jted tosend him 
 al least one six months tu a Business 
 College to give him tho aptitude aud 
 habits and forms ot a thorough busiuesi 
 man." 
 
 Colloga Rules and Regulations. 
 
 We havt> deemed it uniiecKSsary to in- 
 sert lists of references in this circular, 
 because the College and the re.-ultj of its 
 system ore so well known andapprcciiited

 Oua great reference therefore is to the
