When everybody else is using the mails, it would be strange if
the schoolmaster did not do so likewise. In another column our
readers will find an advertisement of the International Corre¬
spondence Schools of Scranton, Pa. This system of education by
correspondence was commenced there in 1891, when The Colliery
Engineer Co., the proprietors of the school, established a course
in coal mining. The success of the attempt was so marked that the
scope of instruction was extended, until now the schools offer in¬
struction by correspondence in the theory of all the trades in the
United States, in addition to mechanics and mechanical drawing,
electricity, architecture, civil engineering, plumbing, heating and
ventflating, steam engineering, etc. The enrollment of the schools
has now reached 14,000. These figures indicate that the success
of the plan has been remarkable. Any of our readers who desire
to obtain Instruction in any of their technical pursuits should
write to the company for information as to the courses offered.
Those connected with the building trade can obtain much help in
this quarter. The courses In architecture and architectural draw¬
ing are of especial interest and value to real estate men and clerka
