A Plain Talk on Education
UNDER the heading “A Plain Talk on Education,” the United States Trade Reports, a paper published in Cincinnati, Ohio, sets forth briefly the value of a good education, and then states that in response to letters of inquiry from its readers it has sought information concerning different educational institutions as a basis for advice to inquirers. Its conclusion is expressed as follows:— Having made a careful investigation of the standing and character of all the leading institutions of the country, and with due respect to all those which offer good advantages, we beg to draw our readers’ attention to the Union College, of College View, Neb. This school offers exceptional values, and at terms most reasonable. The courses of study are broad and liberal, and embrace every requirement of modern education, refinement, and culture. The faculty is composed of instructors especially qualified in theory and practise to teach, and one of the many good features connected with the work of this school is the attention bestowed upon the individual education of the pupils. The buildings occupied are large and commodious, modern in construction and equipment, and every facility and convenience is provided for the pupil. In fact, the entire tone and influence, moral, social, religious, educational, and physical, are all that can be asked by any parent for the welfare of his child. Therefore, in view of these carefully ascertained facts, we have not the slightest hesitancy in so strongly indorsing the Union College, of College View, Neb. In connection with this article there is printed a large picture of the college buildings and grounds. We are informed that this article was published without solicitation, and that the information and the cut were furnished by special request. We do not recall any experience similar to this in the history of our educational work.
