I just drew the Townhouse and there is an option for my Orphanage that I have not seen before.
It's called "Invite a Correspondent acquaintance to educate the orphans", has a pot of violant as an icon, costs 2 Actions, has Scheme 6 requirement (and no Airs requirement) and appears to be an invitation option as with the Conjuror. I have a screenshot but this forum doesn't seem to allow uploading images. The text of the action is:
[spoiler]
It's all very well to teach them their 'A's, 'B's and 'C's, but there are other, more profound alphabets... This will invite a friend to speak at your Salon, if they have the appropriate Profession.
Make sure they come, or the children will be terribly disappointed. They hope someone's head will catch fire.
[/spoiler]
Has anyone seen this before? I don't have any Correspondent friends and in any case I am grinding my Scheme to get a Laconic Prodigy but obviously very curious about the outcome....

Goodie! It is nice to see some better options for building a better future for the better children.
On the other hand.... well, that is certain a roundabout way of building the Department of Correspondence. Flooding the University with future students that are already your students?

Nice! I would be delighted to teach your orphans and I might enlist another Correspondent's help in my own orphanage.

Up for all social actions except suspicious loitering and trailing the affluent photographer, unless you go with the a selfishness option, in which case go for it. May space out requests for menace reduction.

Upon receiving the invite:
[spoiler] "(Name), a believer in progressive education, would like you to teach a class on the Correspondence at their orphanage."
Upon accepting:
"The class is a success. Only one small fire. (Name)'s orphans ask uncannily incisive questions. Afterwards, you collect their Correspondence-scrawled slates. A few bear oblique variations you've not seen before. Fruitful accident? Or design? Making Waves is increasing... Connected: Urchins has increased to 59 - Welcome! You've gained 15 x Correspondence Plaque (new total 437)."
I must say, that's quite a lovely payout.[/spoiler]

I'm a Correspondent and would be happy to speak at any and all Orphanages.
Also, the Salon appears to have added an invitation option as well; you can now invite a Crooked-Cross to speak at your salon.

Fascinating! I'm currently an Author, but have been considering becoming a Correspondent. Haven't ended up doing so, as the benefits of being an Author seemed to outweigh the upgrade.
Glad to see there are new and interesting things for Correspondents! ^_^

As a Correspondent, can't I just speak to my orphans myself?
I may as well add my profile to the list while I'm at it:

I would be happy to speak about the Correspondence to anyone willing to listen.

I will accept all actions, though I hold the right to refuse for my own reasons. However, if you explain WHY you send me a harmful action like Loitering or Dantes,And I feel the reason good, I will consider it more. http://fallenlondon.storynexus.com/Profile/Kylestien
