Idea of Impniting Knowledge Gen einlly by Mnll Was tit First Not Only Coldly Received, but Even Opposed nnd Condemned by Biil linht Men Success of the Schools nnd the Students Pioves They Weie Entirely Amiss Intetesting Figures Aie Given. On October the Ifith, the Intel national Coiipspondcnce Hchools celebrated Us tenth Hiintveismy. Ten yeats ago Mr. Thomas Coates, of Peckvllle, l'.i,. eii i oiled as tho fhst .student ot the sdiools and his etnollineiu nimks the begin ning of one of the most successful i'.'ii eois that has ever attended the launch ing of any enteiprlsp In our city or In raet In any city In the T'nlted Slates. The growth of this Institution fiom October M, ITU, to the inesent day. I the gicntest cducntlonnl nehleicinent of the eontuiy. In 1811, eight or nine pet sons pot formed the wotk that now necessitates the services of an ainiy of 2,'"ii0, and up to the piesent time JIILoOU students have eniolled In the schools. When Jlr. Coates hecame a uttldent of the schools, the Institution was known as the Cotiespondence School of nines, giving Instiuctlon In coal mining, and It Is a cierilt to this sys tem or education, which has grown and been peifected In such an estiaordl nniy manner, thai the fht student, who at the time of his emollnient was an oi riiuai y coal miner, was ennbled by his couise of study to secine the position of mine .supeilnlendent. It must be giatlfylng for the schools lo be able to stale that thousands of their students aie tilling Impoitant positions In eeiy line of industry and In every quill ter of the clvillerl world. Many of these students pel e ri ed In their stud ies and simply upon their own .show ing of inipiovement and nilvaiu ement in technical knowledge seemed higher positions, while many olhei s weie placed in tiitatle positions tluoiigh the irciicv of the schools, its i:akla- ni:enrTioN. "When the schools stalled, no one had any conception of the gieat suciess that the future had In stole for them. It was lpallzcd that theie was a btoad Held foi a correspondence institution on the lines jai,j down by President Fos ter, hut it was Midi an eiithely new plan, sin h a diange li out all aecepted methods of imparting knowledge that, like the steam engine, the telephone, the phonoginph, the lelegiaph, and all other nineteenth eentiuy Inventions, this Idea of teaching by mall was at III st (oidly tecelved ami even opposed and condemned by men of billllant ed ucational attainments and bioad pi ac tual espeilenie. Scepticism concern ing the cottespondence sjstem of teaching- was mel with on all eldes, but as people became acquainted with the woik of the schools and weie In ought line lo face with the piaclleal tesiilts as shown bv the advancement of I. c, S. students, the doubt as- to the ability to studv and leaiu in this way gtad ually dlsappeaied, and man ol the doubting ones beianie RtudenU and en thusiastic advocates of the sdiools. It was not long after the Conespon dence Sthool of .Mines had bien oigan I.ed when it was leallznl that theie was a demand for teclninleai education in oihei lines, espedally in inechauii s, and ionises along these lines weie pie- pat ed lij competent etigineeis and placed befote the miblic. Ne.w studies have been added so inpidly that at the piesent lime the schools cuiileula 1011- I sisi ot neat ly one bundled uniisps with a number still in piepaiatlon. Tlie leinaikable giowth of the sdiools is due to a number of causes, among' w hidi able business manage ment plaj.s an inipoilant p.ut. The lesults attained under the new s.vstem was also one of the f hlef laetois In the development of the schools. Tluoiigh the Instiuctlon furnished, i.'itpentti.s became aichlteils, machin ists became mechanical englneeis, sui eyois beianie dvil ensineeis, eleutu eal woikets became electilial engl neeis, thenien and laboiets became steam englneeis, while thousands of ot lifts impiovctl their piospeets tluoiigh their studies. What may be eotisldcied the pi hue cause ot the sdiools' giowth Is the specially pie pa led tPMbooks of the ditfeient ionises HOOKS AVCRE INADHQCATK. Oidlnaiy textbooks as piepaied tor schools and t olleges weie Inadequate, because It was seen that lnstfin tlon by mall Avlth tlie aid of sudi test books was Imptaetlcable, It was nec essaty, thetefoie, to employ toinpeteut persons to piepate special textbooks tor e,u li couise of stud. To tills end the schools have devoted many yeats ot labor and have spent Inmdieds of thousands of dollais for the pin pose of making these testbooks thoiougiilv lotnpiehensivo and piaetlcal, so that anybody with tlm ability to icad and wtlto the lhigltsh lnnguage eould mus ter any of the school's coutses, To the a edit of the schools, it must be said that theio Is no Institution of learning In the vvoild whete mote i.ue Is taken with the pupil, or vvheio mote llglri examination of each lesson ns w oiked out by the pupil Is made, nnd whole tho lequireiuout.s for passing Unit h'sson and for Dual esunilnatlon mo so high. No pains mo spated to inalto oi ety student a ctedlt to his own eftot ts and the schools' touching, Ten .ve.iis ago tho Coiiespondeiuo School of Mines occupied two rooms in tlie Coal Hxchnnge building on Wyom ing avenue. Later this was Increased to twenty-four looms. From time to tlllio additional offices vveio occupied In other buildings, until It becaino .in put out that the schools must have a homo of their own, Plans woie ,ic foidlngly piopaiod, and tesulted in tho election of tho beautiful buildings that giuco Wyoming uvonue. These buildings weio no sooner oc cupied than It became evident that even tlioy weio not adequate to hold the schools' totces at its then into of Bxpnuslon.and they weio again obliged lo tosott lo lenteil oldies. Tlie schools at pipsout oicupy wholly or ill part eighteen sepatuto buildings in the city of Koiuntoii, and a mammoth now building Is now In couise of eoubtiue. tlon. which will, when llnlshed, give employment to seveuri bundled men and women in addition to the bchool's piosenl fence. Hcsidus this, tho schools have dish let olIUcs In sixteen of tho luigost cities of the United States and Canada, nnd eveiy city or town of nny linpoitance tluoughout the United States nnd Canada has n eub-dlstiR-t olllce, Few Institutions In the country run boast of bucIi a rtoresentatlon. ' Tho volume of business conducted ly tho schools may he toughly estimated ri om some of the following state ments: The I oln I eniollinput inoiuborrlihi of Hip Itileiiuitlonal Coirospondence Schools with their fnmllle?, on the basis of flvp persons lo a ramlly, would people n city of npaily L'.ono.OOO popu lation.

The schools pay tho post ace to the student only, nnd thetefoie the nhove llsures icpiescnl hut hnlf tho ipvenup that the t'nlted Stiitos postolllce del Ives fiom tho schools. II loqulies 10,000 checks a month to pay tho company's hills. Tho total attend ance of all the colleges and universities III the country Is about 200,000 students, while tho Intoriintlnunl Coiiespondeiii e Schools tit. Its present into of Ineiease will soon have double that number. In th" publishing of the Instiuctlon and question pnpeis, text hooks, adver tising llteintnio, etc., of the schools, 1.12 persons mo pniploj'od nt Scianton, nnd two of the largest printing houses In New Voik city mo largolv supported by their woik. They me tho largest pto duceis and oonuinpis of books bound In cloth or half lenther In the Culted Slates or the world. The nunibpr of pages of iidvei Using mailer dlslilbtttPri per month amount to over 24,000,000. The pi luting nnd binding plant now bp ing eieetpd at W5otnlng avpiiue mid Ast slict will bo the laigest private pi luting plant In the woild, nnd will have it Mpaclty sufflclent to pi hit, fold and bind 2.000 400-pagp fixf) Inch vol umes per day. The new ptlntety will be 167x1(10 feet, thteo and four stoiles high, and will contain ovci fi't actes of tloor space. Ill Older lo handle the business of tho sdiools expeditiously, the woik is divided into eighty sepoiato riepait ments, each depaitmont having a cuief vvlio looks aftpf th" business that comes under his dppm lmciif. In 189S the schools had an Instruction tor built for the purjioso of soliciting eniollments aniong inllroad men and give thoin In stiuctlon in evet.v bianch of the ser vli e. MOm: CARS NECKSSAKY. A few months dptnonstialed the fact that this car eould not In justlio cover the enoimoiiM tenltoiy In sight. Two moie c.us weie theietote built and put into set vice. Kven these weio found in adequate lo handle the lapldly liu teas ing business, nnd eaily in 1000 tbiee more cms, equipped with sectional models and woiklng nppatatus, wpip oideied to be built. These six ems now tiaveise neatly all the leading un loads in Ainei lea and assist in ln sltuftlng over ir.,000 l.illioacl men. The schools have ai laugements with sixty two lalhnail companies, lepiesentlng ncaily iio.000 miles of ttaek and equipped with 10,000 engines, to ptn vlde oriiuation for their emploes. Some months ago, the Ftaukliu iu stltule. the oldest, most conseivative and most Influential scientific body in Ametie.i, on behalf or the Philadelphia cxpoiL exposition, aw aided the Intel -national Coiiespondence Sehool the highest award, a diploma and silver medal, for "a unique.

It would be haul to find wolds mole belittinglv desdiplhe of the International Coiip sponilenee Sehools system than those used by the Fianklin Institute.
