EXTENSION COURSES The pur!)ose of Extension courses, whether Correspo ndence or Study Center, is to extend the services of the State Teachers College t o every properly qualified p erson who can not attend an educat ional institution for t h e time being, but who wish es to pursue systematic study under comp etent direction and for college credit with a view of attending College later.

In addition to its courses in residence, one of the most valuable services that the T each ers College can render is an opportunity for 路 teachers in service t o continue their education and to receive aid and inspiration in their daily work. Teachers a.r e urg ed t o avai l t hemselves of eve.r y su ch advantage t h at t his state institution, which is their ins titution, has to offer them.

I. CORRESPONDENCE COURSES Correspondence courses are offered not only f.or 路college credit but also for mature students who need to earn College ent r ance credits.

These courses h ave an advantage over study center 路courses in two respects; first, the individual can take what h e needs, and second, he can c 3r.r y the work forwiird as rapid ly as he is able. Because of these two advantages, correspondence courses have grown in favor during the past few years. Inasmuch as sixteen hours ea.r ned in absentia may be applied toward a degree or a. two years diploma, corresponden ce work.4 is appealing strongly both to graduates of the two year college course who wish to tak e work t oward a degree while teaching, and to those students who were compelled to t each before completing the two year course.

No student, h owever, sh ould attempt to take all the work he needs by study center .a nd correspondence, even if that were possible, as by doing so he loses the inspiration that com es from contact with a virile student body a~d a symp atheti c and enthu si a stic fac ulty.

This contact brings about a culture, refin em ent, and poise that resident attendance. only can give.

How enr路o lled: Each i::tud ent mu st fill out ;ain application blank, (see la s t page of this bulletin for blank) in order t h at th e instructor may ascertain his fitn ess to pursue with profit t h e co urse h e desires.

If the student is accepted, he is n otified at once by th e Registrar, to whom he pays the necessary fees. The ins t ruc t or then will communicate directly with the student, giving instructions and directions for the course.

Regul ations.

No fees are refunded for any cause after enrollment has been: accepted and directions for work have been sent to the student. Every student taking this work must be a matriculant ·o f the College. (Matriculation fe e is $5 .00, paid but once.)

2.
