More persons were enrolled for certi- fled home study instruction this Sum- mer than in any other corresponding season since the first home study school was established nearly 40 years ago, the National Home Study Council declares, adding that the total enrollment fig- ures for the year may exceed the esti- mate of 1.500,000 persons, which was visualized by the council at the begin- ning of this year. The marked increase of home study students noted this Summer is credited to the fact that a large number of the better known industrial and commer- cial organizations of the Nation feature and encourage certified home study in- struction in subjects related to the in- dustry in which their workers are em- ployed, the council explains.
