energetic assistant superintendents
and solicitor collectors in the employ
of the International Correspondence
schools were last night rendered a
banquet at the Hotel Jermyn by the
company. The guests included field
men. whose territory ranges all the
way from the classic precincts of cul-
tured Boston to the rugged slopes OF
the Rocky mountains. and the banquet
was only part OF general entertain
ment programme planned for them.
During November and December, the
company declared a contest the win-
ners of which were to be awarded a
trip to Scranton. OF the one thousand
and seventy-one field men, one hun
dred and forty-seven qualified for the
trip, and as 1t would be hardly possible
to take all OF these men away from
their posts at the same time, another
banquet will be given in thirty days
and perhaps still another a month af-
ter that one, until all of the winners
have received their reward.
