Correspondence Work Covers Extensive Range. EXTREME CLAIMS FOUND Need for Regulation Cited * ' By Investigator. An examination of the offers and selling methods of 87 commercial corre spondence schools, advertising in recent periodicals has been made by Earl Kil pktHck, director of the University Ex tension division. The article, which is primarily intended for the use of exten sion students appears in the “Extension) Monitor,” the departments monthly pub lication. Through the reading of letters and ad vertising matter of these 87 schools by Mr. Kilpatrick, one school was found to have a present enrollment of 100.000. In the past 29 years, this same school has had 2,000,000 students, located in every part of the earth. Single Subjects Taught. Ten of the schools have a very exten-' sivc list of subjects, five schools teach j accounting; eleven, drawing and painting;] six, music; four, civil service; three, for- j eign language; five, shorthand; and four I writing for profits. Others teach single I subjects such as advertising, banking.' dancing, aeronautics, chiropractic, aod wrestling. • The courses contain no clement of in dividual instruction, but text books are selected for the teaching • f t\o specific subject. One short article in the pamphlet on “Educational Faculty” benrs the follow ing statement: "Thirty-seven schools actually name and list the faculty, and of these, 31 give in greater or less detail the educational qualifications of their faculty members. One man not only tells the story of his life, but also in cludes his mother’s picture. Some claims are rather extreme, even considering the ilnmes listed, as: ‘No other law school either resident or non-resident can equal our brilliant array of legal talent.’ ’’ These schools are found to offer cut rates, discount coupons, and special of-1 fers to industrial students, who may be induced to take their “bargains” by cor respondence study. Very personal mim eographed letters, flattering the students upon their versatility and marvelous abil ity, are sent to prospective students, prophesying success after correspondence training. Regulation Needed, claim. In a closing paragraph of Mr. Kilpat rick’s pamphlet is the following state ment: “Clearly the commercial corre spondence schools should be Regulated and those that do not give competent in struction should be persuaded or forced to mend their ways or to retire from the business. Perhaps in its interstate as pects, this is a problem for the United States bureau of education. Legislation would probably be necessary.” 60 NEWSPAPER MEN ARE EXPECTED HERE (•Continued from Page 1.) ise, editor Albany Daily Democrat; E. M. Ileagan, editor Albany Daily Herald; E. E.
