Abstract	As enrollments in correspondence schools soared in the early twentieth century, unethical practices marred the reputation of this type of learning. Prominent schools created the National Home Study Council in 1926 to combat the proliferation of sham schools. At the same time, council members knew that the better schools also needed to change their advertising, sales, and collections. Analysis of the transcripts of annual meetings traces these pioneering efforts to enhance correspondence schools. (As Provided).
