Money Making is the object of the world’s 
pursuit. Men iu every walk of life are Striv 
lug for gain. It is a legitimate object and 
has a right to be studied and taught. It 
and Finance present wider field for educated 
labor than ever before. 
A thorough knowledge of business affaire 
will, especially at this time, be of the great¬ 
est advantage to every young man, no matter 
what his future calling may oe. 
THE FARMER 
should, by all means, be a better business 
man. A youth need not expect that com¬ 
mercial Problems are to be found in the store 
only; they are lying all about him on the 
farm. Lf lie cannot perceive them it Is partly 
his own fault, partly his father’s, There is 
scarcely a quality of skill, shrewdness and 
activity which gives success to the merchant 
and the manufacturer but could be profitably 
employed on t he farm. 
An institution, then, with a short, useful 
common-sense course of training, that gives 
the young - arnl middle-aged men that practi¬ 
cal knowledge of business which assures their 
future success in any Of lling has become a 
NEW IHILOIMQ, 
75 feet by SO, three stories, has been erected 
in connection with the present main build¬ 
ing. With this improvement the main floor, 
devoted to the Practical and Theoretical De¬ 
partments, Banks, Merchants’ Emporium 
and Offices, is lfiO feet deep by SO feet in 
width, making the largest, single department 
devoted to school purposes in the United 
States. The lower floor is arranged for Lec¬ 
ture Rooms, Mathematical Department, &c. 
The upper floor is devoted to the Special 
Penmanship and Telegraphic Departments, 
thus making ample and superior accommo¬ 
dations and offering increased facilities in 
every department and a completeness in de¬ 
tail and plan of operation never before at¬ 
tained. No other school in this country is 
devoted to the specialty of preparing boys,

time and at the least expense, for active suc¬

been elected Mayor of the city, by the le rgest 
majority ever given a candidate there (hold¬ 
ing the office at the present time,) and t wice 
he has been elected to the State Assembly. 
For eight, years past he has held the office of 
State Commissioner of Public Charities, his 
list re-appointment being by Governor Dix 
last fall. A year ago he was recommended 
by the Governor, United States Senators, 
State Officers, ana nearly the entire Senate 
and Assembly, as Minister to Japan, but de¬

gives bread, and clothing, and homes, and | 
comfort, and the world judges wisely when 
it makes the position a man occupies to 
hinge comparatively more or less on his 
ability to earn money, and somewhat on the 
amount of Ills possessions. If he is poor, it, 
argues either some defect in his expenditures 
or a lack of practical education to cope 
with men in the battle for gold. 
When a boy leaves home it is generally to 
enter upon some business, the end of which 
is to acquire property, and ho will succeed 
just in proportion a.-, he lias been trained 
for the work. Every community is filled 
with young and middle-aged men who are 
failures because they know nothing of busi¬ 
ness—their training having been THBOUETI- 
caL, not practical and useful. Many are 
tied to pursuits they heartily dislike* and 
which are much below their capacity and 
ability, and would change their courses of 
life and better their condition but for the 
fact that relatives and friend# generally op¬ 
pose rather than encourage the effort. There 
never has been a time in the history of our 
country when expert and intelligent young 
men , who have been taught practical life- 
lessona and thoroughly educated for business, 
will be in such demand as in the near future. 
So great is the money capital of our coun¬ 
try, ao share is the, competition, so great is 
the value of time, and so expert have leading 
business men become, that young men no 
longer have a chance Li > excel, aud hardly to 
succeed in any calling, unle» they are 
trained directly for this changed condition 
of the times. To the many young and mid¬ 
dle-aged men of the country Starting In 
Lips or seeking successful, honorable em¬ 
ployment. and to middle aged men living by 
small wages, and desiring to better their 
situations, there is now a wider am,] more 
inviting it aid open than ever before. 
This country will in the future, more than 
ever before, call for men in ail occupations 
of greater practical skill and business gifts. 
Meu who are trained for the exigencies of 
the age and times will be sought for iu city 
aud country. They will be wanted every¬ 
where. The country is full of. wealth wait¬ 
ing for practical talent to develop it. The 
avenues of Commerce, Agriculture, Trade 
national necessity aud will receive the pat¬ 
ronage and indorsement of the ieatling men 
of the country. Foremost, in this wort, the 
most celebrated of all practical schools in this 
country, and one whose popularity has be¬ 
come world-wide, is 
EASTMAXS BUSINESS UNIVERSITY, POUGHKEEPSIE, N. Y. 
Sixteen years ago the Hon, Harvey G. 
Eastman began his labors as a Business Edu¬ 
cator, believing that he understood the Edu¬ 
cation the age and times demanded for young 
men. Iu a beautiful city on the Hudson he 
established the first Usminess College in 
America, introducing an original system of 
practical instruction that has educated more 
than twenty thousand of the present pros¬ 
perous business men of the country. From 
the day of the opeuiug of this Institution, he 
has lanored earnestly to increase its useful¬ 
ness, constantly mailing improvements, and 
perfecting the system of Instruction until it 
stands the acknowledged head for imparting 
a sound Business Education. 
If is the ONLY .SCHOOL in the world 
where the course of study is PRACTICAL 
iustead of Theoretical; where the students 
act as buyers, sellers, traders, bankers, book¬ 
keepers. ‘and accountants in actual business 
operations ; where the bank-bil Is, fractional 
Currency, and merchandise are actually used 
and have, a real value, each day’s business 
being based upon quotations from the New' 
York Markets and every transaction jnst as 
legitimate and bon i fide as in any mercantile 
banking, or business house in the country. 
This plan is original with this institution and 
is not to he found in any other school. Dur¬ 
ing the past year, the course of study has 
been thoroughly revised, and such additions 
and improvements made as t he wants of the 
times demanded. While other schools have 
gradually become extinct, this College is in 
the lug n’t of it- prosperity and usefuitiess, 
uu 1 has enjoyed the past year a large patron- 
ay extending to every Slate in the Union, as 
well as Canada, South-America aud Japan. 
The large number of applications for ad¬ 
mission this fall and winter being greatly in 
excess of previous seasons, made it necessary 
to increase the building accommodations of 
the College. An entire

THOUSANDS OF PARENTS 
whose greatest concern is the prosperity of 
their sons just starting in active life,‘and 
whose great desire is to know how they can 
best aid them in the struggle of making a liv¬ 
ing for themselves and becoming successful, 
Useful citizens; and to the young aud mid¬ 
dle-aged men of the country seeking success¬ 
ful business, the claims of this school presents 
the most flattering inducement?. Its record 
of the past stands unequaled in the annals of 
educational Institutions and is its guarantee 
for tbe future. 
EASTMAN COLLEOE 
has not only always been the headquarters 
for a Business Education in this country, but 
a School iu which the Slate has a commend¬ 
able pride. The original and excellent fea¬ 
tures of its plan of operation—the honorable 
basis on wlueh itisconducted—the high char¬ 
acter of its President and his influence and 
extensive acquaintance in business aud social 
circles, enabling him to assist large numbers 
of graduates to business positions in New 
York and other cities, have all contributed to 
its popularity. Prominent aud successful 
men are to be found in almost every calling 
who owe their success to the start they re¬ 
ceived at Eastman’s. 
While builaiug up his institution to such 
flattering success, Mr. Eastman has not been 
blind to the Interests of his City or the 
State. His hand is to be seen in every pub¬ 
lic improvement or good work that has been 
inaugurated in Poughkeepsie for sixteen 
years, and no person ever opened his purse 
more liberally for the general welfare of a 
city or people. Iu the present Educational 
and Political history of New York, few men 
figure more prominently or are more respect¬ 
ed for their enterprises for the public good. 
White in business projects of magnitude 
as well as iu education, he lias assumed 
leadeiship in his own community and the 
State, he has enjoyed a national reputation 
as the most successful practical educator of 
his day. 
The people, knowing that the man who 
exhibits such qualities in a business point of 
gentleman. To these qualities is allied that 
ever present and most prominent one, an 
indomitable perseverance, through which he 
wrings success from even reluctant fortune, 
backed by the vital force of a manhood in its 
early prime.
