THE SUCCESS
of the International Correspondence Schools
For the first time in the history of the world an edueatiunul institution has solved the
problem of providing a thorough training for anyone, anywhere, in more than two hundred
subjects. The methods created for this phenomenal enterprise were necessarily so new that
they have been misunderstood sometimes by those who have not taken the trouble to look in­
to them carefully. They have also aroused the suspicion and even animosity of such men us
arc always jealous ol the success of others. But a fter twenty-two years of continuous and
beneficial educational work, the International Correspondence Schools are no longer an ex­
periment. They have proved themselves to be so valid -and effective in dissem inating instruc­
tion and providing training that many unscrupulous persons have tried to gain profit by.sim­
ilar enterprises which lacked either a legitim ate financial basis or a sound educational foun­
dation.

Unity
But at a public hearing upon the bill held in Boston, March 13, it was obvious th at
the measure was introduced simply to give certain men an opportunity to discredit and
depress the financial standing of the International Correspondence .Schools.
This was
proved by the fact that those who urged the passage of the bill were form er employees of
the Schools who are at present engaged in trading in the securities of the International
Correspondence Schools on their own account. Their purpose in attacking the institution is
personal protit. We are, therefore, taking every possible precaution to protect those who
are interested financially or educationally in the work of the International Correspondence
Schools.

The newspaper* of the country have recently given wide publicity to the efforts of
a group of form er employees of the International Correspondence Schools to discredit the
financial management of the institution. A bill was introduced into the M assachusetts
General Assembly purporting to regulate the activities of Correspondence Schools in that
Commonwealth. The International Correspondence Schools have no objection to this meas­
ure uor to similar ones in other states. Fully conscious of doing a perfectly legitim ate busi­
ness, they are anxious that the public should be protected from bogus enterprises designed
solely to m arket stock or furnish inferior instruction.
