The best magazine for

School Advertising

is the one which builds up an institution by supplying it with students who will be a credit to it the one which has weight and influence in the homes where the advantages of the Private School are recognized, appreciated, and acted upon. Not always the homes of the rich, but always the homes of innate refinement.

For 24 years SCRIBNERS has been welcomed in such homes. As such homes have become more numerous the circulation of SCRIBNERS has increased. To-day its value as a medium for advertising the best schools is unequalled-uneqalled in the extent of its circulation to homes that count.

CONFIDENCE

Doubt never raised a man's salary-
confidence makes many fortunes.

The purpose of the International Correspondence Schools is to give a man confidence in himself by training him in the line of work he prefers.

I. C. S. Training is today one of the greatest recommendations that a young man can have. EMPLOYERS VALUE IT BECAUSE IT IS REAL. This is a fact proved by hundreds of I. C. S. students holding important positions. Over 400 I. C. S. students voluntarily report each month an increase in salary as a direct result of I. C. S. training.

With this truth before you, is it not worth your while to inquire just how the I. C. S. can help YOU?

To do this it is only necessary to mark and mail the coupon.

In return the I. C. S. will show you how to accomplish what you desire.
