manifold letters, believing that prin-
ciples of mass production applied to
education are destructive of the value
of the training.
Average Age Is 81.
The average of the first 10000 stu
dents to enroll for the home study
courses of the largest university in
the East was 81. There was a great
variety as to educational backgrounds.
Many of them were college graduates
who desired to continue their cultural
activities after entering the business
world. Mothers and homemakers, un-
able to get away to attend classes,
have found in the home study courses
a way for reconciling their cultural
aspirations with their domestic du-
ties
This new standard of education by
mail is only one phase of the grow
ing adult education movement. Men
and women, who have had an ofpor-
tunity to observe life at first hand,
seem more thirsty for education than
youngsters who used to have
monopoly in the student field. There
is a growing tendency on the part of
the large universities to offer extern
sion courses and general lectures after
business hours to the public. AS one
university leader remarked, the pub
lie is determined TO drink ~at the
springs of learning and it should be
encouraged to get pure water.
There is coming to be less excuse
for being uneducated in the United
States than ever before. Ignorance in
the future is going to be looked upon
not merely as an unfortunate handi-
cap, but as stigma. Progressive cor
porations are cooperating with educa-
tional authorities to make educational
courses available to their employees.
Many banks and other enterprises
conduct their own schools.
These signs point to rising aver
age culture in the United States. The
individual who is neglecting these new
opportunities is out Of step with the
procession.

THE BUSINESS OF GETTING
AHEAD.
Is Education by Mail Worth While?

The letter carrier is becoming an
increasingly important factor in the
education of the American people.
The farmer in the wheat belt, the
miner in Alaska and the factory
worker in North Carolina are no
longer inaccessible to places of learn
ing, for the great universities are lit
orally offering to go to those who can
not come to attend classes in the regu-
lar way.
The largest university in the East
and the great universities of the Mid
die West are Offering instruction by
mail, competing with the commercial
correspondence schools, which have
long held the lure Of promotion to bet
ter jobs to those who subscribe to
their courses. The commercial corre-
spondence schools stress the immedi-
ate financial advantages Of taking
their courses; the universities, which
are conducted less with an eye to
profits, emphasize the broad cultural
advantages of supervised study,
Are the vivid hopes which the
commercial correspondence schools
stir up in the minds Of prospects
jusnfied by the accomplishments Of
their graduates?
Many Do Not Finish.
The answer to this question de-
pendS on a set of standards as to
which there is no agreement.
It Is a fact, however, that the NOR
tality rate of enrolling students in
some commercial correspondence
schools is exceedingly heavy. One
expert observer Is authority for the
statement that only small fraction
finish the courses.
In the new competition, the uni
versities are promising less, and there
fore are appealing to more discrim-
mating individuals. One large uni
versity reports that II per cent Of
those who enroll for its instruction
by mail complete the courses. AL
though the fees are as high as those
charged by the commercial CORE
spondence schools, they operate mere
ly to cover costs. The home study
courses are planned and supervised
by regular university Instructors. All
letters to students ere individually
written. Tia uniysrsity uses No
