One feature not always understood by the public IS
the energetic in which the Correspondence Schools
enroll their students Hundreds of agents representa-
tves go into the homes mills factories and shops per-
suade that they be benefited by course OF IN

desire for education They tell men, and they prove their
point by nnumerabe examples that they can make them
selves efficient in their present occupation qualify
themselves for other and congenial and more
muneratve occupations by of study at home IN
their spare time The cost of establishing these agencies
has been very great but the results have amply justified
the investment from every standpoint Up to the present
the International Correspondence Schools have spent

1t will be glance that the S5ooooo capitaliza-
ton of the International Textbook Company, which oper-
ates the International Correspondence Schools, is really
modest when the of creating the institution carrying
on the business and widening the facilities for education
are considered If the institution had not been upon
sound financial basis under careful and expert business
management and furnishing bona hde education and tech
meal training, it would have broken down long ago.
Twenty-Five years of overwhelming business, until the
Schools now have 5000 persons in their employment are
sufficient evidence of the validity and pemanence of the
institution Since their foundation the Schools have done
gross business amounting to $S5753I4o and have dis
trbued cash dividends amounting to S7oe5372 and stock
dividends of $I,S75,ooo

"Poet-Lariat" Of SmithViIIe

''In memory Of Little Joe Brown" is verse by
]. II. Randall, Jr.

In the spirit of good humor in
which it was manifestly written The
Journal prints the following verse
that was sent to the office from
Smithville yesterday after news of
the primary had been received from
all parts of the state. It ought to
afford good laugh for both Joe
Brown and Hoke Smith followers,
now that the primary is over, and
it is iii the spirit OF pure fun and
good humor and with no intention
Of offending even the loyal followers
of Little Joe" that the following
lines by the jubilant poet lariat'
of Smithville (the former home Of
Frank Stanton) are given to our
readers:
Here rest at Peace, one whom we know.
Ans. JOo MCAi. dS l1IlIIc JOe
Little in form, in mind the same,
He Lived consistent with his name.
And in manner, far from great,
Mis- q verned his poor III tive state.
The fame he earned, though small tin
true.
Was for the things, He did not do.
In Official life "FIGURE HEAD"
He always followed---Never iea'.
De 9TH came at last, Yet Joe "tia said"
W ,uld not admit that he was dead.
Now this, would never do, of course,

And DER his form, this stone. we pray,

To the Patrons of Leesburg

School
We, your committee selected to
arrange for teachers and other minor
details in connection withthe school,
wish to state, that after due and
careful consideration we have @r-
ranged for the services Of a full corps
of teachers and that school will open
this year on the 3lst. day Of August.
This is a little earlier than has been
the custom but we find it is necessary
to do this in order to get in -Four
months by Christmas.
Now, we feel like, with the teachers
we have selected that we can have
as high class School as any county
town il Georgia. At the same time
the teacher is not all that is neces-
sary to have good school. He
must have the cooperation Of both
teacher and pupil and With this end
n view we are going to ask each and
every Patron to go into the work
with the intention of having tt e
very bsst school We have ever had.
I am sure if we viii all begin with
this determination it will be glow
success.
There are one or two other mat
ters we would like to call your at
teenton to. One is the maricula-
ton fee. OF course we all under
stand that there is some little incl
dental fees attached to the school
which can only be met in this way.
This would include Coal, Janitor
AMI many other little things too
numerous to mention and we want
to ask every patron to be prepared
to lay this at the beginning OF
school if it is conven ent. If it is
not convenient for this to be done
on the day of entry please do so as
soon thereafter as is possible. This
little fee is not compulsory but it IS
absolutely necessary in order tomeet
the little incidentals above mention
ed. The secretary Of our Board
will be on hand on the opening day
to give a receipt to all who wish to
pay. The receipts and disburs-
ments of this fund will be duly pub
lished in order that every body will
see and know what disposition has
been made of it. Another matter
that we wish to call your attention
to is that all beginners who viii
reach the age limit for school ano
who expect to begin on or before
january first be entered on the
opening day. For the teacher t.
