JULY, 1924 No. 7 Published by the State Teachers College Issued Monthly Entered as second class mail matter April 29, 1915, at the post office at Kirksville, Missouri, under the Act of Congress of August 24, 1912. Accepted for mailing at special rate of postage provided for in section 1103, Act of October 3, 1917, authorized July 26, 1919. (Page 3) CORRESPONDENCE AND EXTENSION COURSES Purpose. The purpose of this Teachers College in offering correspondence and extension courses is to enable every one who cannot attend an educational institution for the time being to pursue systematic study under competent direction and for credit. Such study is particularly desirable for: 1. Teachers who wish to improve themselves while engaged in teaching and to add to their qualifications for more effective service; 2. Those who may be engaged in some other work than teaching and who are expecting to re-enter school some time sooner or later. Character of the Courses. The correspondence and the extension courses are the same as those given in the class rooms of this institution and are conducted by the same members of the faculty as give them in Kirksville. CORRESPONDENCE COURSES Cost. A fee of $12.50 is charged for each course given. Matriculation. If a statement of your high school work is not on file here, you should first write for a blank on which an official of the high school in which your work was done may make a statement of your credits. At the same time you should also write for a matriculation card. This matriculation card should be filled in by you. Both cards should be mailed back to the Registrar as soon as possible. Procedure in Selecting a Correspondence Course. If you desire to take a course by correspondence, examine carefully the list of courses described in this bulletin that are offered for correspondence study. If you wish a description of the courses more in detail, consult the June, 1924, Bulletin of the Teachers College or write to a member of the Extension Committee concerning the same. On discovering the course that you wish to take, fill in the application for correspondence study on the last page of this Bulletin and send it with your remittance to the Registrar. On receiving your application the Registrar will notify the instructor under whom you wish to take work that you have applied for a course, and if, in the judgment of the instructor you are fitted to pursue the course, he will send the outlines for the work with full directions as to how to proceed. In case the instructor decides that you are not qualified for the work, he will report that matter to the Registrar who will either ascertain from you what other course you would like to take or refund your fee. But no fee will be refunded after the outlines have been mailed to you. Regulations as to Correspondence Courses. 1. Students are urged to enroll as soon after September 9, 1924, as possible and required to complete their work by May 12, 1925. No extension of time is granted. Applications for correspondence courses will not be received after February 1. Students are urged to complete their work by May 5 rather than delay it until the last possible moment. In the rush of activities at the teachers college during the latter part of May, the faculty member may not be able to give you assistance during that time. 2. In each correspondence course for which credit for 2 1/2 semester hours is given, there will be twenty single lessons or ten double lessons, and a final 3 (Page 4) examination covering the entire course,. A single lesson is planned so that it will require approximately five hours of sixty minutes each for its preparation and a double lesson just twice that amount of time. 3. For the final examination the student will come to Kirksville on a day designated by the teacher, or in cases where this is inconvenient the student may nominate persons, preferably school superintendents or principals, and the teacher will select one person to whom the questions will be sent for the examination. 4. The textbooks needed for any course may be ordered through the Y. M. C. A. Book Exchange, Kirksville, Missouri. If the book is not in stock it can be sent direct from publishers. The Teachers College can not undertake to furnish reference books from its library. The student may secure reference books from nearby libraries or from the State Library Commission, Jefferson City, Missouri. In many cases the student should and will desire to purchase the reference books he needs. But in some cases where the Teachers College Library is well stocked, or where the student finds it impossible to secure reference books in other ways, our library may furnish books at a small fee to cover postage. Students desiring to obtain reference books from the Missouri State Library Commission may secure application cards from Mr. I. R. Bundy, Secretary of Library Commission, Jefferson City, Missouri, or Miss Hazel E. Hutchins, Librarian, State Teachers College, Kirksville, Missouri. Students pursuing correspondence courses should use the individual application blanks, whereas those pursuing extension courses may profitably use the “traveling libraries” application forms. The Library Commission makes loans only to persons residing in Missouri. 5. No fees are refunded for any cause except in the case of the student who enrolls in a course in which the instructor believes that the applicant is not qualified to begin the course. 6. The Teachers College does not guarantee to give all the courses mentioned in this Bulletin for the reason that sudden changes in teaching faculty sometimes require the withdrawal of courses from the list; also teachers are limited to 20 correspondence students each. 7. With each lesson paper sent in to the instructor, the student must enclose a stamped and addressed envelope for the return of the paper with the criticism and comments of the instructor. Bulky manuscripts and accounting books are better sent by express than by mail. 8. A maximum credit of ten semester hours or two high school units may be made by any one student through correspondence courses or extension courses or by both within the limits of the time set for the completion of such work, that is, between September 9 and May 12. Courses from other schools will not be accredited in excess of this maximum. 9. Not more than one-third of the credit for any certificate 6r diploma from this State Teachers College may be earned through extension and correspondence courses. 10. Special notice. Correspondence and extension courses will not be allowed to begin until credentials and matriculation cards are on file. 4 (Page 5) COURSES OFFERED BY CORRESPONDENCE CHEMISTRY 1b.
