Accepted for mailing at special rate of postage provided for in section 1103, Act of October 3, 1917, authorized July 26, 1919 (Page 2) (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 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 in Kirksville. CORRESPONDENC COURSES Cost. A fee of $12.50 is charged nor each course given. See also regulation 3. 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 fuller description of the course, consult the June, 1921, 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 out the application for correspondence study on the last page of 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 after September 12, 1921 as possible and are required to complete their work by May 28, 1922. No extension of time is granted. Applications for correspondence courses will not be received after February 15. Students are urged to complete their work by May 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 —3— (Page 4) five hours of sixty minutes each for its preparation, and a double lesson just twice that amount of time. 3. To the fee of $12.50 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 enrolled. 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. Books may not be kept from the library for a period longer than two months without special renewal granted by the librarian of the Teachers College. 4. No fees are refunded for any cause except in the case of a student who enrolls in a course in which the instructor believes that the applicant is not qualified to begin the course. 5. 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. 6. With each lesson paper sent in to the instructor, the student must enclose a stamped and self-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. 7. A maximum credit of ten semester hours or two high school units may be made by any one student by 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 12 and May 28. —4— (Page 5) COURSES OFFERED BY CORRESPONDENCE CHEMISTRY 1b.
