The CHAS. E. DAWSON 
Spare time at home, Art Training 
SCHOLARSHIPS. 
CHAS E. DAWSON, creator of the "Dawson Girl." 
needs no introduction to our readers. His art 
appeals to people of culture and retiuemeut. The 
beauty, dignity and distinction he has given to the aunouuee- 
ments of our greatest advertisers have exercised a marked 
intluence upon the artistic printing of the last ten years. 
And his success is reflected in the work of his students. 
TWELVE years ago he founded the first and most suc- 
eeasful Correspondence School of Art in Europe. 
THEllE'S nothing experimental 
about his System, its supreme 
value is proved by the ever-growing 
number of his students and their 
piiirttcal achievements. Prac- 
tical in the way they have been 
trained to make saleable draw- 
ings — and sell them! 
WITH Mr. Dawson's 
unique experience in 
fostering and developing the 
aims and needs of the ambi- 
tious artist, he has helped more 
men and women to earn money 
by art work than any other well- 
known artist. 
HE teaches the profitabJ- 
branehes of Art, in 
eluding Designing, Bool- 
and M a g a z i n

t i s e m e nbs,

1 should never have been able to design for reproduction 
if 1 had not had your tuition. C You opened my eyes to the 
possibilities of the profession, and no matter how good an 
artist one may be they couid not help but be benehted by 
your instruction. 1 have benefited most by confidence you 
have given me, and the tips as regards the arrangement 
of a design, and the possibilities and limitations of the 
various processes. — Birntiiujham. 
Your ways and means of doing certain designs have never 
been seen in any art book, or taught in any 
school. 1 have the work at my finpcr 
tips, and am now starting to 
ters, Mnral and Fabric Decora- 
tion, Silhouetting, Lithography," 
Lettering, etc. 
SOME TRIBUTES. 
*' Dsar Mr. Dawson,— I consider your 
Art Course excellent in every way. 
The mass of Technical Instruction it contains, and its 
stimulat ng influence upon one's efforts make it indis- 
pensable. Even now I always have it by me for 
reference and find it an immense aid. 
"Yours very sincerely,

Dear Mr. Dawson, — I am glad to add my tribute to those 
which I am sure you must receive from every student of 
yours who knows a good thing when he sees it. 1 am 
positive that anyone with average intelli- 
gence and a little natural ability who intends 
taking up Art as a profession— no matter 
how ignorant he may be at the beginning — 
cannot fail to lay a sound foundation for 
future success by carefully following your 
clever, practical and most interesting lessons. 
H this letter leads anyone who doiibts the 
value of postal instniction to take your 
Course, T shall feel that T have been the 
means of doing them a good turn. You are 
at I'berty to us" my name as an endorsement 
of my entire faith in your amazingly efficient, 
origmal, and inspiriting system. 
Yours faithfully, 
A. CHANTRY. CORBOULD.

I have re- 
ceived £10 for 
three sketches and a 
royalty of ^d. per 
copy for the first 5U0. 
I am sincerely indebted 
to your teaching, for it is 
entirely due to you that I 
have secured publication 
— Ealing. 
I won first prize (£25) in 
the "Studio" Competi- 
tion for a Sardine poster. 
This fully justified 
my taking your 
coui-se, which has 
been nnost useful. 
It is very comjilete, 
and I thank you for 
the satisfaction I have 
got from your first 
instruction, and the care 
taken in jgiving me in- 
formation on such a wide range of subjects. — 
Esbanh, N.B. 
I should like to tell you how much I admire your system. 
Even to one who, like myself, has tackled every branch of 
art, it contains many useful hints. The very language you 
employ bucks me up. I shall not fail to recommend it. — Bray. 
Y'our kindness and courtesy to the student does not end 
with the payment of fees.- — Exmmith. 
My first commission brought me three guineas. I have 
since designed other posters and now have twenty-four in 
hand, and orders for music covers. I cannot express fully 
how greatly I admire and appreciate your wonderful Course. 
It is all most int.'pnmg.— Sheffield.
