ODD TESTIMONIAL TO EFFICIENCY OF CORRESPONDENCE COURSE One of the oddest testimonials to the efficiency of the courses .given by the International Correspondence Schools came from a prisoner in a Tennessee, United States, gaol. The President of the Organisation, Mr James A. Linen, Jr., of Pennsylvania, United States, who recently visited New Zealand on a tour of inspection, described in a newspaper interview how the student took a correspondence course in sheet metal work with the sole aim of making an illegal whisky still. The man took lessons regularly and then stopped abruptly, said Mr Linen. Several months afterwards they received a letter from him in which he paid tribute to the correspondence course. He had built his still and been arrested after manufacturing his moonshine whisky. The still had been produced in court during his trial and had been unreservedly praised by the judge, jury and prosecuting attorney as an extremely fine piece of work. The prisoner had written the letter because he thought the school should know its work was appreciated. Mr Linen, who is an inveterate globe-trotter, is father of Mr James Alexander Linen 111, the publisher of the American Magazine, Time. i —Advt.
