Screenland (Dec 1927-Apr 1928)

104 S GREENLAND Here is YOUR %h School Education/ I Are YOU the INTERESTING type that can dis 1 cuss almost any subject intelligently— or are you I tongue-tied, ill at ease among people? Are you I chained to a low-paid job while others step up to I big positions and handsome salaries just because I they have MORE EDUCATION? If you feel handi 1 capped because you missed the advantages of an S education, if you lack ideas or the ability to express them, then A High School Training is What You Need IT is in High School that the foundations of an education are laid. In Grammar School you merely learn to read and write. And in College you simply continue the studies you pursued in High School. It is in High School that you study Ancient and Modem Histovj— that you learn how to speak and write correct English— that you acquire an appreciation of Literature. It is in High School that you get to know the world you live in through the study of Biology and Physics and Economics and Mathematics — that you obtain the cultured advantages of Foreign Languages. It is in High School where you get the knowledge and training necessary for success in business and social life. Tou may feel, however, that it is hopeless for you to attempt to "go to school again." But through a wonderfully simplified method you can now acquire the essentials of a High School Course right in your own home — in your spare moments without missing a day's work. Your Home Is Your High School The High School Home-Study Bureau actually brings the high school into your home. It's like having a staff of teachers at your elbow. A remarkable series of questions and Answer Books now enables you to make up entirely what you lost in not attending high school. In just twelvo convenient, fascinating volumes, the Blue Books offer you the equivalent of a four-year high school education. As you look at these books you marvel how so much can be compressed into so little space. Unlike ordinary school books these texts contain no long drawn out discussions, no dry-as-dust nonessentials, .lust the most important facts presented in the most successful teaching method known. The editors have boiled down each subject and presented it as a series of fascinating Questions and Answers. Every question is right to the point — every answer is simple, direct, easily understood interesting. Onlv 15 or 20 minutes a day spent in reading these 'books will bring you the knowledge of high school subjects that you need to make yourself more valuable. Better than any get-rich scheme is a training in high school subjects. It is not too late, no matter how long you have been away from school to make up for the education you i missed. Used by 12,000 High School Teachers 1 Principals, teachers and students in High j Schools all over the country use these unique High I School Home-Study Books in their daily work. B They are praised by the highest educational authori I ties* for their simplicity, clearness and thoroughness. A High School Principal writes. "I believe your I method of instruction to be superior to any other. ■ It should be universally adopted." A letter re I ceived from one of our students reads: "I never I spent money for books that give me the real I pleasure these do." And another student writes: I "I am delighted with the books and would not I take $100.00 for them if I could not replace them."
