Printing and Distribution: After the material has been prepared for printing, it is essential that a high quality of paper and good clear type be used, as, otherwise, the effort to present the subject matter in a clear, concise manner may be almost offset by a poorly printed page. Economy in the matter of paper in press work would be ill-founded in the making up of a successful correspondence course. In the outline which has been made there are ten general subjects covered. It is estimated that these ten subjects would require booklets of 25 to 100 pages each, and the average would probably be 50 or 60 pages. Estimated Costs: Assuming that provision be made for distribution of 5,000 copies of the correspondence course, and that the total number of pamphlets in the course is ten, and that these pamphlets would be issued at different periods, the printing cost would probably be about $1,000 per pamphlet or a total of $10,000. The editorial work required would mean at least one year, and the estimated cost of this work is $3,000. Time of drafting required for illustrations would amount to approximately $2,000. Incidental expenses — traveling, etc., $1,000. The estimated cost of preparing the course would, therefore, be $16,000. There are additional items of advertising, and the cost of distributing the books to subscribers, which are not included, but it is very doubtful if any study course could be prepared for less than the amount given.
