ANNIVERSARY
Students of the Schools to
Join in Celebration.

1t has been nearly fifteen years
since Thos. j. Foster, then editor of
a newspaper in Shenandoah, Pa, in
PRODUCED a method of teaching
through the mails by means Of spec
ial home study textbooks and a sys-
TEN of direction and correction of
students work, the object Of which
was to enable the coal miners of
Pennsylvania to pass the required
examination for mine foreman. AL
though the enterprise was of great in.
terestii in the mining communities,
not even the founder then dreamed
that his plan was the creation of a
new educational system that was to
turn the whole world into a vast
classroom and afford the means by
which practical, money earning
knowledge in almost every line could
be carried to the thousands that
could not give up work or leave
home to secure educations.
The International Correspondence
Schools now have more than two
hundred courses of instruction, COW
ering almost every branch of nearly
all the well-known> trades and pro-
fessions. Up to the present time
IS, 900 students have either COM
pleted the courses for which they
enrolled or substantial portions
thereof; 225, 900 other students have
completed the study of mathemat-
ical, physical, and drawing subjects.
The widespread practical results
of the work of this great ''home
study" university is demonstrated
by the fact that during the last
twelve months upwards of 1900 re-
ports of increased salary or advance
ment in position have been received
from students.
The many thousands that have
been enabled to change to congenial
or more remunerative occupations,
or that have been otherwise bene-
fitted by this wonderful system of
education, naturally feel deep
sense of gratitude to the man whose
genius created aud developed the In
ternational Correspondence Schools
and who is still the active head Of
the work. AS fitting tribute, a
great celebration has been planned
for the 10th of October, 1906, the
day on which fifteen years ago the
first student was enrolled. Hun
dreds of l. C. S. students and many
persons of national prominence in
educational work will be in Scranton
on that day.
The day will be taken up with APP
propriate exercises and an interest
ing exhibit of the school at work
preparing and printing home study
textbooks and correcting the recita-
tons of students sent from all parts
of the civilized world. A banquet
to the guests will be given by the
schools in-the evening

Attention, Advertisersl

New ways of advertising are con-
stantly being devised Some time ago
the English papers contained an &C
count of an author in London who
committed suicide for the purpose of
advertising his latest novel. It
worked, too, and many copies We're
sold. Now word from his present
headquarters conveys the intelligence
that ne Is absolutely careless about
money and smokes continually.

 Where does the poor man come in in this Christmas business anyhow? Let's make a list of kind deeds to do for him that he won't have to suffer in the receiving of things he wonf have to pay for by the sweat of his brow.
 Give him a corner in the home he may call his own. Clear out the trash in the wardrobe and bureau that theo- reticalIy Is his and make them practi- cally so. Get up all his belongings and put every garment in order or throw away what is beyond redemp- ton.

Let him have one bachelors privilege of an apartment to himself with the trash cleared off mantle, out of corners, a good fire and a bathroom in which he does not have to steer his way through the debris of the toilette making of the entire family who have preceded him and left the evidences.

 No session of the various depart ments of the Southern Educational As- sociatiou that will convene here Thurs- day and Friday will be of more inter- est to mothers and teachers. and to all concerned in education than the meetr ing of the Department of Child Study to be held in the auditorium of the Girls High School on Friday afternoon at clock

 A very able lecture on transitional Periods lu Childhood" was deliveVed here week ago by Dr. 2. F.

His treatment of fhs sub- lect was interesting and instructive, and those who failed to hear him lost an opportunity to be enlightened.
 The program for the naseting of the Child Study Department has been ar ranged along the same topics as the lecture. Some of the most distinguish ed educators of the south will be heard on this sub3eTt. pr. Buehner of tho University of Alabama is President Of the Departmeyt of Child Study. g. E. A;

Gard To Our Friends

This being our last issue in the year.
we beg the liberty of extending to
those who patented the Central
Record office our most sincere thanks.
and say that we appreciate fully every
order given us and every kind word
uttered in behalf of our humble efforts
Ii any customer was dissatisfied with
an order, and same was not promptly
made right, it was because we did not
know of his trouble. Our office is
thoroughly equipped for doing all
kinds of printing, and we are proud of
the fact that fully two thirds of the
business houses give us their orders.
There are few who prefer sending a
way, but they have that privilege and
we raise no objection at all so long as
they do not come to us when they
have an axe to grind by wanting somth
ing published, or, worse still, by ask
ing the suppression of some item Of
news. We are deeply grateful to our
patrons and those subscribers who
have paid for the paper without our
having to hire man to collect it. So
here's wishing one and all a Merry
Christmas and New Year chock full
Of the best of everything the soul de-
SireS.

Excellent Service.

Believing that able and honest Off.
cial service should be put at premi-
UNI, and that expressions of public ap.
proval should be published, we take
pleasure in stating that Hon i f Rob.
lnsOn is making one of the very best
county attorneys in this, or any other
section Of the State. This assertion
is verified by all those who are famil.
lar with his work during the last
term of the circuit court. His part
of the work in the preparation and
trial of cases evinced ability and hon.
esty of purpose. He not only guards
the interests of the county and state
with unwavering fidelity, but his
speeches are strong, logical and elo-
quent. The Record congratulates
him ON his success and predicts for
him brilliant future.

Ruskin defined modern civilization
to be a condition Of mind IN which, no
matter where we are, we want to get
somewhere else as soon as possible, and
no matter how much we have, we are
constantly signing for more. These
three conditions are quite common,
and If society could get rid of them
there would be more peace and happi-
ness. But who shall start the reform
in these matters? What minister is
bold enough to proclaim the truth and
make a sermon properly character
izing the conditional What newspa-
per is strong enough to speak Of the
Sy symptoms with wise words? What
layman is conscientious enough to act
upon convictions which follow thought
upon the subject? Heller SHELTER the
mob rushes from post to pillar, doing
that which it ought not to do and
striving for more when plenty is in
hand.

Prices at Paris

Hibler Bros, shipped 300 hogs to
the Cincinnati market that cost S. 65
per one hundred pounds. and one load
of mixed butcher cattle to the same
market. They also shipped two car
loads OF export cattle weighing 1900
pounds to the market at Pittsburg.
Pa which cost cents per pound.
Messrs. Hibler Bros, say the demand
for meat hogs from farmers is unpre.
cedented in the history of the county,
Notwithstanding the number of hogs
exported has been unusually heavy

The bureau OF animal industry of
the department of Agriculture has

that goats milk is richer in nOurish-

shows that diet Of tin cans, ashes

than one Of hay, bran and fodder.
The bulletin also says that good but

The chain gang has made the street
leading from Stanford avenue to the
depot al. entirely new one. First a
heavy layer of large stone was spread,
they the smaller rock was put ON thick

respect. The many people who have
to haul over the streets appreciate the
improvement. Chief Of Police Beazley
is having all the streets worked on,
and by Spring, Lancaster will have the
best streets in Central Kentucky, Had
