MIR. FOSTERS ADDRESS.
X Was shortly after 10 o'clock whoa
the cigars Norc lighted and chair:
drawn back. President Foster then
made q brief address, in which he out
lined some interesting facts regarding
the schools, which he said now have
no less than 1000 students scattered
over the entire face of the earth
some in South Africa, some in Aus
tralia, hundreds i'm the various coun-
tries of Europe and as many more in
South America.
ON Feb. 2S, he said there were 1116
field men and 022 home office en-
ployes in the service of the company.
He said 1t was his earnest belief that
before many years elapse, If the schools
make the progress they have made
within the past few years, the salary
of every solictor-c collector will he at
least $500 a month.
Each visitor present was then called
upon to read a testimonial from some
student in his territory who has been
lonetitrd by the instruction received
a the schools. These testimonials were
Intensely interesting and gave a good
idea of the wonderful advantages
which a. man may derive from the TAX
ing of course in some technical
study in the schools
Here was a letter from former ar
mature winder in an electrical works
who took course in the theory OF
electric power and lighting and be-
came in a short time a foreman. There
was an earnest and sincere commun
cation from "a machinist, who had
been grinding away year after year
without any prospect Of advance
| ment. He took a course in applied
| mechanics and became superintendent
of big machine shop. And so they
went.
