The International Correspondence Schools had
their birth in humanitarian impulse. The first
course Of instruction in coal mining. designed
10 safeguard the lives Of miners by educating mine
foremen and superintendent. That course was
quickly followed by others until there are Us
courses Of study.
During the past twenty-five years no fewer
than .765 students have been enrolled in the
United States and Canada. and enrol!ments are now
being made at the rate Of 100000 year.
The preparation Of the textbooks written by
the Schools for the use of students has cost more
than $2OOOOOO. These texts are prepared solely
for the work Of instruction by correspondence and
form the most up-to-date library Of their kind in
the world. Their value is attcsted by the fact that
they have been purchased and are being used for
classroom work for reference purposes in l67 uni
versites. colleges. Institutes Of technology and other
wel-known institutions Of learning. The University
Of California has just discarded its textbooks dealing
with the strength Of materials 1t has had l. c. S.
instruction papers on that subject bound into volumes
and has adopted them for the use Of its students
The United States Navy Department is using $1,000
textbooks in the naval ship-board schools. and
this is about one-fth Of what will be required when
these schools are in full operation.
The international Correspondence Schools are
now the greatest teaching institution in the world
They have become powerful factor in enhancing in
dustria efficiency. They have increased the earn
ing power Of hundreds Of thousands Of men and women
and, more than all. they have become great social
and moral influence by creating ambition stimulating
hope, and preaching se-eance to their student body

Every effort is being made to keep the students

HAN[FY RETURNS
FROM BIG MEET
Attended Governors Con-
ference at Madison, Rep
resenting North Dakota

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 1a.-Hon.
James M. Hanley has returned from
the meeting of governors which he at
tended at Madison, Wis.,, during the
greater part of last week. Mr.. Hanley
attended as the personal representa-
tive of Governor L. B. Hanna.
These meetings are usually very
informal and given over to discus
sion of problems that confront the va
rious states. Conservation was one Of
the principal topics discussed at tho
session and under this head was taken
up the matter of government lands,
In the western states especially, which
bring no revenue to the states, and
the governors discussed the proposi-
tion OF devising some means whereby
these lands could be taken up or in
some way be made to bring In some
revenue, In the western states there
is a great deal of this land which is
Of no value to the individual states
from a revenue standpoint.
The matter of rural credits was
also discussed and 1t was found that
North Dakota probably has solved the
rural credit proposition as we'll per-
haps as any state SO far. The system
that North Dakota works under Is the
loaning out of school money at q s
per cent rate. The only drawback to
the North Dakota plan at present is
the insuff1ciency of funds to go
around.
Other matters taken up were the
advisability of adopting uniform laws
on sanitation. employers liability law,
and extradition. The matter Of CIV
ing governors the right of introduce
ing bills in the legislature was also
thoroughly discussed.

Bismarck, N. D., Nov. 1S.-Although
the state pardon board does not meet

the inmates of the peniteitnary have
applied for hearing before. the
board. There are, of course, among

there is large sign in the penitentia-
