BARNARD'S BUSINESS COLLEGE 120 SUTTER STREET, SAN FRANCISCO. [From the Evening Bulletin.] A VISIT TO BARNARD'S BUSINESS COLLEGE. The problem of earning a living has become such a grave one that we resolved to make the subject of educational institutions a study, and learn, as far as possible, what the prominent Business Colleges of San Francisco were doing toward solving this knotty question. We accordingly first visited Barnard's Business College, 120 Sutter Street. Here we found a large class of intelligent students, the sons and daughters of leading citizens of San Francisco and Oakland, including, also, representatives from all over the Pacific Coast. We noted, first of all, with great satisfaction, the close personal attention given to individual pupils. This matter of treating students specifically, rather than generically, is a prime consideration. Class teaching has its merits, but until pupils are treated and taught as individuals with distinctive traits and talents, the full powers cannot be developed and disclosed. The personal attention given to each student at Barnard's College is a signal consideration of untold importance and value. Independence of text-books was the next feature that commended itself to the attention of the acute observer. Professor Barnard gives all the instruction personally, and intrusts nothing to assistants. He puts into his teachings that which he would have appear in the students. The object of this College is investigation, and the result is knowledge. The problems solved are not merely abstract ones, but practical in their import; hence, there is a gain of the knowledge of the application. Facts are before theories, and "we learn through doing" is the principle upon which Barnard's Business College is conducted. The bane of the present day is the too extensive curriculum of the ordinary college course. It too often realizes in the student the old adage, "A Jack at all trades, and good for none." This is one reason why the Business College is coming into such high favor. It prepares young men and women for practical work. Each applicant is invited to attend two or three days free of charge, to examine the course of study and witness methods of instruction.
