TO YOUNG MEN from the Farms— 
MECHANICS-- -SOLDIERS — MID- 
DLE-AGED MEN who desire to bet- 
ter their condition in Life — and 
to PARENTS who would make 
their Sons successful, useful Men. 
I liave su^rsp'^tefl tlie best Coiu'se of Study 
and System of PRACTICAL Trninins for pre- 
paring Young find jMiddle-aged Jlen for active, 
successful life, ever adopted iu this or any oilier 
country. 
My course for Farmers' Sons and Mechanics 
is the best iu the world, it being the most useful, 
the shortest and most c(3mpi'eliensive. 
Sucli is the ]iopularity of my System of Prac- 
tical, Useful Education, tliat my College at 
PoughUeepsie, N. Y., on the Hudson, has be- 
come the largest Educational Institution on the 
continent — enjoying patronage from all sections 
of our own country. South America, Europe, 
Cuba, Mexico, and the Canadas, and exerting 
more power and influence for Practical, Popit- 
lar Education than all Commercial or Business 
Colleges in this countr}' combined. 
Such was the extended patronage from the 
West, that it became necessary to establish an 
Institution at Chicago — under the priucipalship 
of Prol' E. P. Eastman, — where this system of 
Education could be enjo}-ed, and its success has 
no parallel iu the history of Schools aud Col- 
leges, it beiug to-day the largest Educational 
Institution in the West. 
Mechanics who would be successful. Young 
men from the Farms who can devote the winter 
to study. Men of Middle-age who desire to 
change their present employment for something 
more remunerative, and Returned Soldiers and 
others who desire lucrative, honorable situations 
iu business, can enjoy advantages here not to 
be found elsewhere. 
Graduates are assisted to such situations as 
they merit, through the College Agencies in the 
ditlerent cities. References are given to more 
than 200 in Government Departments at Wash- 
ington, aud more than 400 iu the City of New- 
York alone, who owe their success to this Insti- 
tution. 
The prescribed Course of Study can be com- 
pleted iu three months, at a total expense for 
tuition and board of from |8.J to $100. Those 
wishing to become members will be admitted 
any week day in the year. There are no exam- 
inations at commencement. 
The Illustraled Paper of 16 pages, giving full 
information of the Course of Study, aud the 
Eastman system of Training, is sent free of 
charge to all who desire it. 
Applicants will apply in person or by letter to
