EDUCATION BY CORRESPONDENCE.

Next to the individual attention given to each student,' probably the most important feature of a correspondence school’s system of instruction is the style and standing of its lessons. Suppose you hear of a correspondence school, the lessons of which are so thorough and up-to-date that those in one subject have been bought, and are used as a work of reference by more than six hundred practising lawyers, as well as by many hundreds of business men, would you not conceue that that school was in the van among ’ educational institutions? Yet such is a fact in regard to Hemingway and Robertson’s Correspondence Lessons. When the “Land and Income Tax Bill,” described by the Hon. Mr. Wilford as “the most difficult measure ever introduced into the House’ ’was passed, it became immediately necessary to include a complete explanation of this measure in Hemingway and Robertson’s correspondence course in accountancy and business training. Its general excellence so soon became known that the directors of the school decided to issue it —an exact reproduction of the correspndence lessons —in book form. The Commissioner of Taxes ordered twenty copies for the use of the Land' and Income Tax Department, whilst the Public Trustee ordered six for his various offices. Hemingway and Robertson have similarly excellent lessons in all branches of modern business a n d accountancy. Their lessons on the “Duties and Responsibilities of Company Directors and Secretaries," are issued in book form under the title of “Company Returns and Registers,” and this is used as a reference work by hundreds of company officials. Only last session a member quoted in the House as his authority on an important taxation subject one of Hemingway and Robertson’s lessons in economics. The directors of Hemingway and Robertson’s Correspondence Schools, Auckland, gives publicity to these facts in justice, no? only to themselves and their staff, but also that people may really recognise the standing of their correspondence instruction, and not regard “ft, Ah some quarters as in days gone by, as some “new-fangled” American system of imparting knowledge which crams young people through accountancy, law, and other public examinations. Hemingway and Robertson, Auckland, teach by mail, book-keeping, accountancy, shorthand, and office organisation and business methods, and prepare candidates for the law, the accountancy, the University book-keep-ing, the teachers’ and the public service examinations Full details of any of these will be sent on application by letter.
