Both correspondence and residence
work The greatest chain of voca-
tional schools in the world is that
known as the Y. M. c. A. SCHOOLS.
The system is composed of resident
schools. This system is composed Of
resident schools in all leading cities
and many smaller cities of the United
States and Canada plus a splendid Ex-
tension Division Correspondence
which offers over $50 courses from
elementary subjects on up through
numerous technical, commercial, agri-
cultural and other courses of college
grade. A motto we'll practiced by this
system is "The Most Service for the
Least Money" In these schools last
year were $4,000 young men.
The department of education of the
SYSTEM has recently inaugurated a
unique plan to enable ambitious young
men to secure college education in
resident schools. The plan involves
some preliminary work leading to per
manent position, paying more than
enough salary to meet all expenses
and making possible the carrying of {
college course at the same time.
Mr.. c. l.. Shaw, the Educational Di
rector, has recently announced tina
