made by older readers. Last Satur-
day we had an account of a trip to
Caplen, a little sea-side resort in our
own state. Starting from Beaumont,
A few boats were in the Neches river
a.s we passed along the broad drive,
going out to Spindle Top, five miles
distant. There we saw a wonderful
sight, hundreds of oil wells, many of
the derricks almost touching each
other, pumping great quanities of oil
i in to the large pipes through which it
I was carried to the large tanks made
for it. We could not keep from wish-
ing we bad a little interest in it, so
We could do some of the fine things
that money can do. The next place
wn- Port Arthur, where the Texas
Co. and the Oulf Co. have the larg.-st
oil refineries in the world. Groat
buildings, hundreds and hnii■ >; • ■' ;
tall chimney stacks, worlds <>f ma-
chinery and thousands of woil. ri ii.
Noii cannot imagine what i- being
done there unless you see i*. 1 ho
gn at ship channel, where many boats
were anchored, their different flags
fly ing from their masts, tin Sabine
Pa s, immortalized by biave Dick
Dow ling ami his forty gallent Irish-
men, and there the long drive beside
the restless water of the trulf, made
for us a delightful drive. Along the
coast were a few scattered fragments
to remind us of the fearful storm of

lives in the high waters. About half
a dozen families, sometimes more,
sometimes les , tro to Caplen and al-
most keep open house during 'he sum-

and playing 12 are 'he principal!
amusements, while eating and sleep- I
ing are much indulged in. 1 he drives ■
along the beach are fine, one especial-

tall Lighthouse is. so interesting. I
enjoyed that because I had never I I

Brooks, the keeper, thought
rather unusual for an elderly
like myself to climb th

he said he was going to put me m his
report, when he sent in his "log book

thing nice. The view from the iron
balustrade outside at the top of the
Lighthouse was beautiful The great
expanse of rolling waters all around,
the great ships, the fishing boat
the bay, the city of Galveston,
near, all made us think of the needed
service performed, the entrance to the
harbor made safe by the bright shin-
in.r light from this high tower. I
could not help thinking how much we,

beautifully decorated with garden>

the afternoon, honors going to Dr. j

study schools within lts borders and
tens of thousands of students scat
tered In every civilized country of the
tilobe.
The tdeo of education by corre
spondence, which originated In the
United States thirty-live years ago.
bus gained such universal acceptance
that today tlte enrollment In this coun-
try alone In home-study schools Is
eipial to three times the combined ros
ters of the nation's colleges and unl
versl le .
Men and women students taking
home-study courses In business, the
arts, sciences, trades and professions
now number more than 2,000,000, It Is
shown In a survey made public by Dr.
John 8. NoffsinRer, secretary of the
National Home Study Council, 8IW
Seventeenth St., Washington. D. C.,
while the number of college and uni-
versity students total only 001.000.
The home-study movement, with Its
more than 200 correspondence schools.
Is one of the nation's major Indus-
tries today, not only from the stand-
point of numbers but from the tuition
fee* received. Home-study courses
are one of the big factors in the spread
of knowledge of the English tongue.
One correspondence school alone has
on its books students from «T> coun-
tries. including 8,841 students In the
Philippines, S00 In Alaska, 130 on
the Isle of Cypress. 1.200 In Mexico
and Central America. 300 In China and
Japan, and 900 In Australia and New
Zculnnd.
The home study movement Is slow-
ly changing the handicap of lack of
adult education In the past. The Na-
tional Home Study Council, composed
of the leading correspondence schools,
has Instilled a new Ideal Into home-
study education by the adoption of a
rlpld code of business ethics B>
bringing education Into the home. It is
