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.
