AN EDUCATIONAL FORCE that has Earned the Confidence

of Modern Business THE present widespread interest in adult education has brought forcibly to the atten- tion of business men and educators the problem of the g rown worker , denied voca- tional t raining in his school da!s, who wishes to extend his knowledge and increase his eficiency.

T o t h e I n t e r n a t i o n a l C o r r e s p o n d e n c e Schools this is not a new subject. Adult education has been their business for thirty- eight years. I t was in 1891 that the I.C.S. undertook, virtually single-handed, to solvr the wage-earner's study problem on a prac- tical basis. A t tha t time a n ambitious worker who felt the need of fur ther education along the line of his employment had only one place to turn-the ne\v school of home instruction that mas growing up in Scran- ton. H e was carefully and conscientiously taught , and if he had the character to match his t raining, he invariably became more valuable to his company.

I t w a s uot long before far-seeing execu- tives began to appreciate the possibilities in this new idea. T h e y recommended students fo r instruction and proved for themselves the benefits of the I. C. S. system. Since that time the vast growth ol the International Correspondence Schools has been paralleled by the development of a well-founded confi- dence on the part of employers everywhere.

T h e I. C. S. has become the right a rm of Industry. Thousands of its students, past and present, occupy responsible positions as foremen, superintendents and managers in the organizations where they work. And as new conditions demanrl a n increasingly high proportion of trained men in nearly

every field, industrial and business leaders are depending more and more strongly upon the International Correspondence Schools to give their workers this training. Even executives with college degrees find in I. C. S. courses the specific knowledge which their work demands and for which a gen- eral education has not fitted them. More than eight pe r cent of a l l I. C. S. students a r e college men.

Modern business has a right to expect four things from a n institution tha t offers educational service to its employees:

1. Appreciation of the employer's point of view and willingness to co-operate with him in helping the student select the courses that will be moat useful in his work.

2. Sound, competent instruction and the best possible texts.

3. T h e financial abiiity to fulfill every obligation.

4. A sincere interest in every student's progrees and the encouragemerlt that will keep him studying until he has acquired the t raining he needs.

T h e s e a r e matters of principle with the I. C. S., antl have been for a generation. IJpon their x rupu lous observance has bee11 reared a structure of business confidence such as few enterprises have been privi- leged to enjoy.

"Rummy! You pay me!"

Here's a Winning Tobacco! E N a railroader has a pack of cards and his favorite

pipe-life seems pretty good. Especially when his w pipe is filled with his favorite pipe-tobacco.

The men above were snapped in the midst of a game of rummy a t the Rock Island shops in Chicago. They are all seasoned pipe-smokers and say that when it comes to relaxing after a long hard run, there's nothing quite as good as a few deep whiffs of Edgeworth!

What a blend! Mild, surely; yet with a full-bodied character to its Burley mixture that has won friends in almost every quarter of the world. So much more satisfy- ing and enjoyable in a pipe, too, than the usual run of tobaccos men smoke in some other form.

Just try a tin-you'll see why i t is that a railroad man speaks of Edgeworth as "one of my best pals."

On sale everywhere, including Commissary Stores and camps, railroad depots and stations. Two forms: Edgeworth Ready-Rubbed, all ready for your pipe; and Edgeworth Plug Slice, for those who like to "rub up" a pipe-load a t a time. Both come in various sizes, from handy pocket

packages to pound humidor tins.

Free Offer to Railroad Men
