TO LIVE IN A CITY 



is to possess many advantages. The difference between Success and Failure has been. 

 summed up in one word — Opportunity. 



Hducation City life abounds in opportunities. Foremost among these must be 

 and placed those Educational Facilities which constitute the main approach to- 



Proaress Opportunity. Social economists and publicists deem Education the only 



al)iding influence which must ultimately dispel the startling discrepancies 

 between rich and poor. Education, welcoming all comers, holds the world's best gifts in 

 her hands and distributes them without favour to those who diligently seek the path of 

 knowledge and ensue it. 



Those who sit in the darkness of " back blocks " and remote townships often write to- 

 the Editor deploring the deadly dullness and the absence of purpose which is a feature of 

 the existence of many far removed from the battle of life. There is no longer need to sit idle, 

 your leisure becomes your most valuable asset, and it is in your own hands to take the 

 fullest advantage of the hundred and one subjects in which tuition and guidance is arranged by 

 TKe Empire Correspondence College. 



^^Kat Many young men desire to l:)ecome Journalists ; others have ambitions to enter the 



to Do. Banking, Shipping, or Insurance worlds ; while State and Municipal Services offer 



a wide attraction and afford many comfortable positions with the guarantee of 

 permanence and progression which characterise service in the many departments of public life. 



Ho"W to ^'ou probably possess sufficient ability to graduate in any of these directions ; alt 

 Do It. yo" ^^'^k 's ^^^ general knowledge of " how to do it." A case in point : — 



Some years ago a youth left one of the public schools of England and sat for 

 a Civil Service Examination. The subjects were well within his reach, but he 

 possessed one fatal drawback — a scarcely legible penmanship. His masters, 

 well up in classics, did not possess enough knowledge to tell the youth that 

 without legible handwriting it would be a waste of time to enter for com- 

 petitixe examination. 



Doin^ ! It is here that the Empire Correspondence School can aid yon. In every Depart- 

 ment-Journalism, Languages, Scientific Training, Scholastic success — practical 

 men who knou- the ro])es will tell you how to handle them for your own advantage.
