To this end he has just instituted one of the most novel schemes ever inaugu- rated-a course in literature for the benefit of all the people of the United States and its insular possessions.
 The bureau of education is at the head of this university of It. erature. . university where the sole cost of tuition is to evince interest in the lessons. a univer. sity which confers certificates of merit in lieu of degrees and guar antees that all students will re- ceive benefits in direct ratio to their application.
 Dr. P. P. Claxton, commission CT of education. is the man who is at the head of the literature movement. and from all indica- tions the course will be an excep- tionally popular one.
 We are receiving scores of ap- plications every day from persons who desire to share in the beue- nts Of our reading courses" Doc. tor Clarion told me when I in. Quired as to the response which the movement was meeting with. If the applications continue to come in at their present rate and there is hardly a day that does not show an increase over the day before-we shall be hard m to handle all the correspondence A, tacned to the courses, and congres Will have to make additional apprs priations for the betterment of the lii erary taste of the people.
 It was in order to bring about thi oetterment fin the state of the readiu public" continued Doctor Claxtor that the bureau of education decit Cd to institute this series of course In literature. At present we have te divisions of the main course mappe out. These are:
