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.
