The general proprietors refer with pride to the list of resident principals and professors having immediate charge of the local points.

THE INITIATORY COURSE comprises a complete knowledge of the THEORY OF ACCOUNTS, and the collateral branches, embracing Penman- ship, Commercial Law, Commeroial Calculations course is most care- fully and critically watched, no student being per- mitted to pass from one step to another without a thorongh and satisfactory examination.

The ‘Counting Room’ ie a minia- ture business world, in which are represented ‘all departments of economy, and affording to the stu- dent s nove) and interesting glimpse of the outer | world fer which he ia preparing, Here he sees, in actual and harmonious operation, the different branches of trade and commercé which unite countries, states, communities and individuals in the closest bonds of mutual interest, and make up that grand system of economy which men call BUBINESS, He'is established in businese as & is farnished with a cash capital, which he invests in merchandise, purchasing the same from an IMPORTER OR JOBBER, . and defraying the necessary expenses of getting them in store. He learna the peculiarities. of the particular branch in which he is engaged—the sys- tem of box and bundle marking; the styles and de- nominations of weight and measurement, and the customs which prevail in first clase houses. He keeps a regular bank acqpunt—an institution of this kind being alwaya in operation, and serving as the great central financial agent of the bhsy community of dealers—making regular daily deposits and drawing checks as occasion may require. In the course of business he receives other people's’ notes and issues his own, all of which pass regu- larly through the bank either as discounts or col- lections, requiring constant vigilance upon his part, and a thorough understanding of business customs in this direction. In the constant Tepetition of baying” and selling he learns to wateh care- fully all the phases of the market, and to study the theory of gains from the prac- tical lessons occurring under his immediate obser- vation and direction. He is also thoroughly drilled in original entries of all kinds, and learns to rely upon himself, Having had sufficient practice in this direction, he passes to the other departments and becomes, in turn, & proprietor or omaploye in eee es. & Soxinssrox Hovse, - svnance Ornce, Potr OFiice, Orrics, Raraoap Orrice, Srmampoar Orica, ManvPao- tony, &e.

From these positions he length into the tera | | BANE, where he becomes financier and learns to apply the theoretical lessons of his course in this direc- tion, Tho Bane is fitted up with all the modern conveniences, and furnished with # complete ect of books and. blank forms, together with neatly engraved bank notes and coin sufficient for the united business of all the various “ houses’ in oper- stion. The business at the bankis at once the most natural and effective, being the result almost entire- ly of the other departments, and consisting of such actual transactions as require all the forms and ma- nipulations common to banks of circulation and de- posit. The student acts in tarn as TaiieR, Boox- KEEPER, Casnier, and in fact becomes familiar with all the entries and Processes practiced in banks. The bank is kept perpetually in operation, the books being closed only at stated periods sufficieutly for the purpose of deolaring dividends. Its import- ance in perfecting the operations in the business department is not less than that of other similar institutions in the great business world, and the finishing touches which its multifarious dutios give to the student are well calculated to impart a de- gree of facility and confidence in actual business operations such as no mere theoretical training could accomplish. 6 as The time necessary to accomplish the complete course is from three te four months, but progress is marked, not by the lapse of time, but by pro- ficiency in the prescribed studies. INTERCOMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE COL- LEGES AND ITS ADVANTAGES TO STUDENTS. It will be readily apparent that a connected chain of institations, located in the leading com- mercial cities, affords facilities for carrying on an extensive inland and foreign trade, such as cannot be enjoyed by a mere local school, Through these ageneies shipments are made and consignments received, with all the attending cor- respondence, incloding ACCOUNTS GALES, ACCOUNTS CURRENTS, STATE MENTS, ETO. This arrangement also gives ample scope for bank correspondenee pertaining to DISCOUNTS AxD COLLECTIONS due abroad, differing in no respect from that cone nectod with first class BUSINESS AND BANRING HOUSES, In shorty the plen Of instruction “adopted, and pursed in these Colleges is the result of ten years’ careful stady and exporience, with such fare op- nities for making i efter tual aa bave been en, Joyed by | Forwassime House, Ix-|'Yons in Commereial Caleulaticda, With 8 ng te APRIL #4, 1863—1RIPLE SHEET.

Bryant, Stratton & Co.:— GEntLEMEN—Having interested myself in the es- tablishment of your Commercial College in Brook- lyn, I have taken some pains to learn whether it has acquired favor with our community or not. The result is favorable. From allI can learn the College has obtained aeye a very reputable po- sition,with its patrons, and has before {t the pro- mise of @ useful and permanent career. I have had occasion to remark upon the persevering and determined spirit with which you have pursued an enterprise that was inaugurated at rather an un- favorable moment, and am very glad that the re- sult has been such as to justify your confidence and to secure that of its earlier and later friends.
