Education by Correspondence
i Done in Unique Way
Australia, a continent five-sixths the
size of the United States and with a pop
ulation of only 3,000.000, is attracting
the interest of the University of Oregon
extension division to such an extent that
a correspondence has been started with
educators in Australia by Miss Mozelle
Hair in an effort to discover more about
the unique educational methods of the
Antipodes. Transportation and com
munication on the island continent are
still in their infancy and the chances for
inland dwellers to get an education have
been very few.
The system of correspondence study
explained in the first letter of a series
to arrive here, outlined the methods now
being used to overcome the natural han
dicaps of a sparsely settled country.
Old and young alike are given the op
portunity to study by correspondence. A
special correspondence staff is attach
ed to the Melbourne high school for the
purpose of giving tuition by mail to
teachers in remote districts who wish to
obtain higher qualifications necessary
for their promotion in the service, the
letter explains, and the writer goes on
to say that about 500 teachers are being
thus instructed.
Another staff of teachers is attached
to one of the larger elementary schools
in Melbourne for the purpose of instruct
ing children who are confined to their
homes by some, physical infirmity and
those who live in districts far remote
from state schools. About 700 of these
invalid and remote children are being
instructed in this way. .
In all cases of instruction the work is
sent out from the correspondence cen
ters. and the students work the papers
and return them for revision. Both the
children and the teachers instructed in
this way, the letter says, appear to make
the desired progress.

No one needs to remind you that your appearance is
a business asset to you. And isn’t it true that your ap
pearance is greatly helped by the way your clothes look!
Keeping your suit well pressed always makes your
suit look 'better and you will look and feel better, too.
A suit that is not regularly pressed soon loses its shape
and becomes baggy; all of which can be avoided at a
low cost.
Let us take care of your suits for you, pressing them
regularly, cleaning them occasionally, and repairing
them when the need arises.
Let me do these things for you so that your suits will
always look good and be in first class condition at all
tunes. By so doing they will wear longer and with more
satisfaction.
All our employes are men tailors who are
experts and artisans in their line.
Having one of the best equipped Tailoring Establish
meats in the citv, carrying one of the largest stocks ol
the latest novelties in Domestic and Imported A\ oolen
goods, guaranteeing latest and up to date styles, places

for the future, always at the most reasonable prices con
sistent with first-class work, the best that can be had.

or bring your suits to us the next time you are coming
our way. Very truly yours,
