TO YOUNG MEN from the Farms— 
MECHANICS- -SOLDIERS—MID¬ 
DLE-AGED MEN wlio desire to bet¬ 
ter their conditioa in Life—and 
to PARENTS who would make 
their Sons successful, useful Men. 
I have suirirpsted the best Course of Study 
and System of PRACTICAL Trainiii!? for pre¬ 
paring Young !ind j\Iiddle-aged Men for active, 
Buccessful life, ever adopted in this or any otlier 
count ry. 
My course for Farmers’ Sons and Mechanics 
is the best in the world, it being the most useful, 
the siiortest and most comprehensive. 
Such is tlie jiopularity of my System of Prac¬ 
tical, Useful Elucation, that my College at 
Pouglikeepsie, N. Y., on the Hudson, lias be¬ 
come the largest Educational Institution on the 
continent—enjoying patronage from all sections 
of our own countly. South America, Europe, 
Cuba, Me.vico, and the Canada^, and e.verting 
more power and influence for Practical, Popu¬ 
lar Education than all Commercial or Business 
Colleges in this country combined. 
Sucli was the e.xtended patronage from the 
West, that it became necessary to establish an 
Insiimtion at Chicago—under the |uincipalship 
of Prof. E. P. Eastman,—where this system of 
Education could be enjoyed, and its success bas 
no parallel in the histoiy of Schools and Col¬ 
leges, it being to-day the largest Educational 
Institution in the ^Vest. 
Mttchanics who would be successful, Y'oung 
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 ami 
others wdio desire lucrative, lionoi’able situations 
in 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 
different cities. References are given to more 
than 200 in Government Depai'tments at Wash¬ 
ington, and more than 400 in the City of New- 
York alone, who owe their success t(jthis Insti¬ 
tution. 
The prescribed Course of Study can be com¬ 
pleted in three months, at a total expense for 
tuition and board of from $35 to $100. Those 
wishing to become members will be admitted 
any week day in the year. There are no exam¬ 
inations at commencement. 
The Illustrated Paper of 16 iKiges, giving full 
information of tlie Course of Study, and the 
Eastman system of Training, is sent free of 
charge to all who desire it. 
Applicants will tiiiply in person or by letter to
