The management of the American School of Corre-spondence and that of the Armour Institute of Technology have found it wise and desirable to co-operate in providing technical education by correspondence along lines in harmony with the best laboratory and resident school methods. Students of the American School will thus receive, through their instructors and examiners, the benefit of the Armour Institute's magnificent equipment, its splendid technical libraries and extensive laboratories, with their unsurpassed facilities for making special tests and investigations.

The Armour Institute was founded in 1892 by the late Philip D. Armour, for the purpose of giving young men a liberal technical education. It is the leading exclusively technical school of the West, and under the able administration of the President, Dr. Frank W. Gunsaulus, it has become one of the most progressive and practical schools in the country. Its courses include Mechanical, Electrical, Civil, Chemical and Architectural Engineering, each leading to a degree of Bachelor of Science (S.B.).

Dr. Gunsaulus, President of the Armour Institute of Technology, is the head of the Advisory Board of the American School, and the professors of the Armour Institute are associated with the faculty of the American School in the instruction of American School students. All examination papers from students in the vicinity of Chicago go directly to the faculty of the Armour Institute for correction and criticism. American School students also receive full credit toward a degree in the Armour Institute for all work done in the American School, and students are earnestly recommended to continue their studies at the Armour Institute. All students wishing further information concerning the splendid opportunities offered by the Armour Institute can obtain a catalogue upon request.

The instruction thus afforded increases the earning power of students so greatly that many of them, by the time they graduate, are able to attend a resident school. To such students a course at the Armour Institute affords exceptional opportunities, for the credit allowed on account of the work done in the American School reduces considerably the time and expense necessary to secure a degree. The student not onlyfinds his work greatly simplified by his previous studies, but also, by being able to pass many subjects, gains much valuable time for his strictly professional studies. He has at his command at the Armour Institute all the resources of a great progressive technical school,- a school thoroughly in sympathy with his previous instruction.

Never before has so great an opportunity been placed before correspondence-school students for combining resident-school work with correspondence instruction, - for carrying on studies at home under the guidance of professors in a resident technical school.
