This bulletin offers information concerning these different activities in the order as named. For further information address the chairman or any member of the committee in charge. P. O. SELBY, Chairman MARK BURROWS FELIX ROTHSCHILD (Page 2) 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 effectiv service; 2. Those who may be engaged in some other work than teaching and who are expecting to enter or 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 who give them at Kirksville. Past Enrollment. In 1917-18 the number enrolled in correspondence study was 155; in 1918-19, 198 students enrolled; and in 1919-20, 252 students enrolled for this kind of work. The enrollment in extension courses has grown from 124 in 1917-18 thru 175 in 1918-19 to 201 in 1919-20. These classes were organized in Moberly, Macon, Hannibal, Palmyra, Marceline, Elsberry, Hunnewell, Greentop, Memphis, Novinger, Brashear, Trenton and Lancaster. No measure of the other phases of extra-mural activities can be made. It is expected that there will be an increase in these activities during the coming year. Plans for 1920-21. As the school and teachers become better acquainted with these phases of work, they become more effectiv and progress in lessons is less interrupted by points not made clear. The school has the work well-organized so that prompt, attention may be given to student’s needs. More important than this, the personal touch so conspicuously lacking in correspondence schools is found to exist between teacher and correspondence students of this institution. 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 offerd for correspondence study. On discovering the course that you wish to take, fill out the blank application for correspondence study on page 9 in this bulletin and send it, with your remittance fee, 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 you your fee. Regulations as to Correspondence Courses. 1. Students are urged to enroll as soon as possible after the beginning of the fall term and are required to complete their work by the 30th day of May, 1921. No extension of time is granted. No applications for correspondence courses will be received after February 15. Students are urged to complete their work by May -2- (Page 3) 15 rather than delay it till the last possible moment. In the rush of activities at the school during the latter part of May, the teacher may not be able to give you assistance during that time. 2. In each correspondence course for which credit for 2½ semester hours or 1/3 high school unit is given, there will be twenty single lessons or ten double lessons, and, at the option of the instructor, a final 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. A fee of $10 is charged for each college course valued at 2½ semester hour and of $7.50 for each high school course valued at 1/3 high school unit. To either fee must be added 50 cents when books from the library will be required in doing the work of the course for which the student is enrold. This extra fee is to defray the postage in sending books from the library. Books are to be returned to the library at the further expense of the student. 4. No fees are refunded for any cause except in the case of a student who enrolls in a course in which the instructor discovers that the applicant is not qualified to begin or thru the inability of the institution to offer the course. 5. With each lesson paper sent in to the instructor, the student must enclose a stampt and self-addrest envelope for the return of the paper with the criticism and comments of the instructor. Extension Courses. These are conducted by regular members of the faculty at study centers agreed upon by the students and the instructors. Those who are interested in the organization of extension classes should study carefully the list of courses offerd in this bulletin. For special information concerning any course in which you may be interested, write to the Chairman of the Committee or to the member of the faculty who offers the course. The fee is $10 for each member enrold for credit. The minimum number of members required in order to secure the organization of a class will depend somewhat upon the distance of the study center from Kirksville. Classes will not be encouraged unless there are eight or ten in the class. In extension courses for which 2½ hours credit is given, the instructor will meet the class ten different times. The meetings of the class will each be two hours long and ordinarily will be held every other week. All extension courses must be completed by the end of the spring term. It is therefore highly advisable that extension classes should be organized as early in the fall as possible. Maximum Credit. A maximum credit of ten semester hours or two high school units may be made by any one student by correspondence courses or extension course or by both within the limits of the time set for the completion of such work, that is between September and the close of the following spring term. Classification. College students are differentiated into those of the junior college and those of the senior college. Students having less than 60 semester hours of credit are junior college students and select studies mainly from junior college subjects; those having 60 or more semester hours of credit are senior college students and select studies mainly from senior college subjects. All college courses are designated by Arabic numerals: Junior college, courses, by numbers 1 to 99 inclusiv; those of the senior college, by numbers 100 to 199 inclusiv. -3- (Page 4) AGRICULTURE COURSES BY EXTENSION AND CORRESPONDENCE High School Courses Ia.

The direct improvement of the teacher in service will ultimately result in education that is purposeful. 2½ hours. A bulletin concerning this new project is being prepared.

READING CIRCLE WORK This institution will continue to give high school credit for Reading Circle work when done under the rules and regulations of the State Superintendent. A copy of these rules and regulations may be had on applying to the State Superintendent. No credit can be accepted by this institution unless a circle of not less than five is organized with a leader acceptable to the county superintendent in which the circle is formed. Such circles must hold not less than nine regular meetings and make reports of such meetings to the Extension Secretary on blanks which will be provided on application. Applicants for credit for Reading Circle work in this institution should be made to the local County Superintendents. Final examinations will be held in March. LECTURES AND DEMONSTRATIONS During the past few years several superintendents have organized lecture courses for their communities consisting of addresses and musical entertainments by members of the faculty. These courses have proved as profitable and pleasing to the Communities where given as those made up of the regular platform talent. The committee would be glad to correspond with any one contemplating lecture courses for the coming year before final arrangements are made. The members of the faculty are called upon annually for hundreds of addresses, demonstrations and entertainments. They have responded and stand ready to respond for a great variety of occasions such as educational meetings, commencements, community gatherings, etc. While this work is classified with the extension and extra-mural activities of the Teachers College, it is not generally handled by the Extension Committee. The securing of speakers should be negotiated by applying to Mr. William H. Zeigel, Dean of the Faculty. Musical talent is furnisht by the Music Department and Mr. Raymond N. Carr, Mr. John L. Biggerstaff, or Mr. Johannes Goetze —14— (Page 15) should be consulted. Dramatic talent and literature may be secured thru Mr. Claude M. Wise of the Department of English. An excellent manuscript dramatization of Louisa Alcott’s Little Women may be obtained from Miss Emery by payment of a fee of fifty cents. This dramatization was workt out by a group of students at the Teachers College and is suitable for intermediate grades and junior high schools. Some dramatizations pertaining to rural life which have been workt out by other groups, entitled “Missouri Plays” have been printed and may be obtained thru Mr. Wise by payment of one dollar. LOANS MOTION PICTURE FILMS The College has a one thousand foot picture reel illustrating its various activities which it will lend to any interested. It has under way the making of another film illustrating the evolution of plays and games. This is also to be for distribution to communities interested in developing playgrounds and parks. It has no other reels to lend, but for those who wish to use educational films it is suggested that they write the National Board of Review of Motion Pictures, 70 Fifth Avenue, New York City. A large list of films may be had of them. Another source of supply is the Bureau of Commercial Economics, Washington, D. C. Ordinarily there is no charge for the films obtained thru either of these sources. The borrower of course pays the transportation charges both ways. BOOKS The Teachers College Library will lend books when they can be spared to teachers outside of Kirksville who desire such service. The borrower should take care to return books within the time limit set by the Library; when this is not done, a fine will be charged. Postage both ways must be paid by the borrower. INTERNATIONAL HARVESTER COMPANY CHARTS, ETC. Arrangements have been made whereby this institution becomes a distributing center for the International Harvester Co. Any of their large collection of charts, lantern slides, stencils, booklets, etc., illustrating agriculture may be secured by writing the Extension Secretary. LANTERN SLIDES In teaching many school and college subjects, pictures have come to be an indispensable aid. The Teachers College has prepared in its photography laboratory several thousand slides which it will lend to other schools.
