ATemple of Learning
The Lawrence and Atchison Business College.
AN EDUCATION FOR THE BUSINESS MAN—THE COURSE OF STUDY—ANNUAL REUNION—FARMERS' AND MECHANICS' COURSE.
Kansas boasts of her wonderful educational advantages, and with good reason, since her common schools are equal to those of any State in the Union, while ample provision is made for those who wish to secure a collegiate education. It is certainly through no fault of the State, if the childen within her boards do not secure a fair education. The teachers are fully abreast of the times, while many of them have won national reputations either for their scholastic learning or ability as instructors. It would seem that all the State could do has been done, and yet the education received by a great many people, when they get out into the world and attempt to earn a living, is found to be sady deficient. They may be able to discourse learnedly on the metaphysics of Mill or Hamilton; compute the weight of the sun; analyze the substance of which the earth is composed; give fine distinctions regarding Greek verbs, and yet if called on to make out some of the ordinary forms of papers required in every day business transactions, they will be sadly at ease in the education as given by the State, business colleges have been organized. When rightly managed they are as beneficial to those who wish to engage in business as the professional school is to the lawyer or doctor.
This train of thought was suggested by a recent visit to the Buiness College in this city. The college, as all our readers know, is situated in the third story of the National Bank building, occupying the entire floor. The rooms are all large and possess those prime requisites for schoolrooms—an abundance of light and ventilation. In the line of furniture, they are supplied with the most approved styles of school furniture, and are fully equipped with everything that can benefit the student in his work.
It is supposed that the average student on entering, is possessed of a fair English education, and is prepared to enter at once upon the study of book keeping, which lies at the foundation of a good business education. He spends several months in mastering the principles and familiarizing himself with the details of this subject. In doing this he keeps a set of books and writes up all the transactions that are found in the text-books. At the same time he is studying commercial arithmetic. This is very essential since, however proficient he may be in arithmetic, there are many short methods in use in the business world which are not given in the ordinary text-books, and by means of which much valuable time is saved.
As soon as the student is able to pass a satisfactory examination in the branches just mentioned, he is promoted to the actual business department, where he is given a certain amount of college currency and commences business for himself. In this he has occasion each day to make out order sheets, bills of statements, deposit tickets, to draw and induct checks, drafts and notes, as well as to execute more involved documents, warranty deeds, mortgages and powers of attorney, besides keeping a complicated set of books. This training insures familiarity with the details of business which can only be acquired by experience. The student, as a retail merchant, transacts business with the bank, jobbing house, commission house, transportation office, etc., after which he enters each of these offices, assuming in each case the respective duties of clerk, cashier, book-keeper and manager.
The college bank is a regular, organized banking house, which does a general banking business with students in the business practice department. If receives deposits, payr checks, collects notes and drafts, and does a general banking business, the same as the best organized national banks.
The merchant's emporium is an
office at which are represented the various jobbing houses which supply at wholesale the stocks of merchandise required by those doing business in the department of Business Practice. The duties of this office involve making and copying letters, verifying invoices, rendering statements, keeping a bank account, and a set of wholesale books.
We have outlined the course of study which the average student will have to pursue in order to graduate. After the completion of this course and passing a satisfactory examination, the student is given a diploma, and a letter of recommendation which states exactly what he has done in school, and shows just where he is weak, and where he is strong.
FARMER'S AND MECHANIC'S COURSE
In order to supply a want which has been felt in this direction, a special four-months' course for the benefit of farmers and mechanics has been arranged, and will be organized when school opens on the fifth of January, after the holiday vacation. In this instruction will be given in those subjects most needed for farmers and mechanics. As such a large proportion of the people of this country are farmers, this course cannot fail to be very popular.
Prof. McIlravy, the principal, has had charge of the college for the past four years, during which time it has been built up from almost nothing to its present condition. About a year ago he decided to open a similar school in Atchison, which should be under his personal supervision and should be the exact counterpart of this. This experiment has proven highly satisfactory, as the Atchison school is now in a flourishing condition. Prof. McIlravy has personal supervision over it, and makes frequent visits there. A few months ago he sold a half interest in both colleges to his brother. H. G. McIlravy, who is now associated with him.
On the evening of the eighth of January the annual reunion of the students and alumni will be held in the college rooms These are always very pleasant occasions, and frequently old students come long distance to be present.
The teachers are all experienced instructors with practical business experience. From their knowledge of the business world, they are able to give the student valuable instruction, and warn him of the danger he will have to encounter in future years. We have have examined the workings of the school in the various departments and can most emphatically endorse it as a valuable training school for young men and women whatever may be their calling in life. The Lawrence and Aitchison business college is an institution second to none in the west as a place where young men and women can secure thorough business training.

To the World's Fair at New Orleans, or to any point South, and wish to have a pleasant trip, you will need to be informed as to the best, quickest and cheapest route. The Memphis Short route South, with its Through Buffet Sleeping Cars Kansas City to New Orleans, its Free Recalling Chair Cars Kansas City to Memphis (and being over one hundred miles the shortest line to the South), is practically the only line from Kansas City, the West and Northwest, to all Southern cities. No other line runs through cars between Kansas City and New Orleans. No other route can offer but one change of cars from Kansas City to Jacksonville and other Florida points. There is no other good route between the West and the South, Ask your Ticket Agent for tickets via the Memphis Short Route, Write for large msp, with Time Tables, showing through connections.
