This was originally published as Section 31 of the International Correspondence Schools Essential Steam Power Library (original copyright 1906). ICS Learn, also known as ICS and International Correspondence Schools Ltd, is a provider of online learning courses in the UK. It was founded in 1889 in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The UK branch was set up in 1904, and it now serves around 15,000 current students, 88% of whom are in the UK. ICS Learn was founded in 1889 in Scranton, Pennsylvania by Thomas J. Foster. Alarmed by mine accidents, Foster advocated better working conditions and stricter safety regulations, which led to Pennsylvania's adoption of the Mine Safety Act of 1885 and the requirement for miners to pass a safety exam. To help workers pass the new test, Foster began an advice column in the Mining Herald answering mine safety questions. In 1889 he founded the Colliery Engineer School of Mines, the first distance learning institution in America. The organization changed names several times, finally settling on International Correspondence Schools. Its mission was to 'provide practical men with a technical education, and technical men with a practical education.' To achieve its goal, ICS did not instruct its students by standard textbooks, which it believed often contained extraneous amounts of material. Instead, ICS created its own specially prepared "Instruction and Question Papers," which provided exactly the information the student needed and questioned him only on that material. It enrolled 2500 new students in 1894 and matriculated 72,000 new students in 1895. By 1900, one in 27 Americans had taken a correspondence course with ICS. Seller Inventory # 75073
