About the author
Founded in 1897, the American School of Correspondence was created as a private, not-for-profit distance education institution in the United States. Over time, it became known for offering home-study programs and instructional materials designed to make education more accessible to students outside a traditional classroom.
The name also appears on a wide range of practical reference works and technical manuals, especially from the early 1900s. Many of these books were aimed at learners who wanted clear, usable instruction in fields such as building, mechanics, engineering, and business.
Today, the institution is still recognized as part of the long history of correspondence education in America. For readers exploring older technical or educational texts, works credited to the American School of Correspondence offer a glimpse into how ambitious self-teaching was organized more than a century ago.
