COLLEGE ANDUNIVERSITY EXTENSION HELPS IN ADULT EDUCATION

The American people have moreleisure thaneverbefore. SThis leisure is the fruit of the organization ofsociety and of labor-saving -machinery.What is to be done with it is prob.ably the most im- portant questionin America to-day.If the free time is spent by individuals in self-improvement and inlearning how to cooperate withothers,civilizationwill improve and democracywillbe strengthened.. ..To the degree that leisure is not well spentindividuals sand civilization will decline,asthey. did in former periods of history . whenleisurewas spentin self-indulgerice.

It is most importantthat: all agencies which tendtoencouragethee individual to develop himself during adulthood,aswellasin youth, should be strengthened.Among the foremost 'agencies that give promise in the education of adults is universityextension.The general public has much to gain byaninvittigation of what educational institutions haverooffer.Asanillustration of this fact the writer,ashort timeago, wasinacity which is the home ofawell- known educational institution.Hewasinvited byafriend,abusi- ness man, toattendalectureonapplied psychology, byanitinerant lecturer.The lecture hallwasfilled with businessmenandwomen each of whom had paid $40-foraseries of lectures running through four weeks.Thelecture wai full of platitudes and promises.The lecturer is saidto have received $10,000inonem"onth for psychological ' information and misinformation. Therewerein the local institution mentioned two nationally known pssychologists either of whomntit only knew4much in'ore .,psychology butwas a moreentertaining speakér than. the itinerant, .self-advertised lecturer.If tli.se businessme and women 'had known the facts, tfiey would have ,used' theirowninstitution and gottenareliable leader in the study of psychology.The pity of the situation is,not that their moriey waswasted, butihateachperson who took thiscourseof pseudo-lecturesthirlksthat he knows much about the subject;when,as amatter of fact, he has received misinformation ahdmisdirection which will merely increase the difficulty

ofanylater study.hemayattemptonthis subject. es Thepurposeofihisbulletin is to make available informationas. to what and where college and university help through extension methodsmaybe bad.The information here givenwasgathered, ;., v 1 ,

k inthe main, bymans ofaqtiestionnairi,sent to all colleFes and universities in theUnited States, and.byanexamination of catalogues, The studyshows thatmanyeducational institutionsof higher

learningare giving extepsion work. %. \ The two kinds of extension workmost in demandarework bycor. respondence and workin classesheld outside ofthe institutions. Tittsetwo kinds of workarewhat is usually meantwhen people speak of univeisityextension.However, this study showsthat thereisa wide variety of 'extensiontetiviCles in idditionto the two mentioned. No doubt thereader will be greatlyimpressed with thescopeof this work, which isgrowing constantlyon accountof the ever-increwiing number of adultswho have needfor guidance intheirstudyprograms. One doesnot need to have hadanycollege workor even td have finished high schoolin orderto enroll for noncredit cetuisesthrough collegeoruniversity extension.In the Main, collegesand universities endeavorto duplicate their residence workthrough extension methods, but the're isalsoastendencyto render any educational service for whichthere isademand and for ;whichtheyareequipped.. Oue needing ,help inelementarysubjects ,should,not look toan collegeoruniversity, butto the evening school ofthe townorcity in irhich be resides.Insome casesWherenoevening school is,orgtip- Used:ita groupof 15or moKepeople ask for class w.ork, througiítha eity superiutendentof schools, theyarelikelyto have their request gran.ted. Work doneby extension, eitherthrough córrespondencestudyorin classes outside of theinstitution,maybe credited towardadegree in 'manycolleges anduniversities.Theamount of credit thatcan10 earned by ext4nsionwork varies amoilginstitutiOns.In general, institutions that offercoursesby, this methodpermit from one-fourth to one-half of the worknecessaryforisbachelor's degreeto be earned by correspondence.There isatendencyto bemoreliberal in this --6gard for classwork taken outsideof the. institution. Mostcolleges and universitiesrecord credit interms of simnester hours. A semester hour is supposedto be equivalenttoonehour of class instructionperweek for 18 weeks,including the periods taken forclassorganizationat the beginning of the work and for examinationat theclose.In general,a semesterhour meaiis 16 actual class hours of instruction, kclusiveof the periods devoted to organization and examination. Many institutions offer throughextensionvareat variety of work for whichnocredit is granted.Thismaybe becausenocredit is desired,orbecause the subjectmatter is not ref college grade,or

because it isnot continuous enough to be worthy of credit. .

Correspondence. Study Courses Sor&of the outstanding advantages of study bycorrespondence are: A (1) The studentmayadvanceasrapidlyashis time, ability, and industry will warrant.No time is wasted waitingfor others. (2) As all lessonsarewritten,oneissure to getgood practice in written expression. (3) A much widerrangeof subjects is offeredthan through class work outside of the institution,asthe latter entails the necessity of findinga groupof people who desireto stulthesame'subjectat the sametime. A correspondencecoursein almostanysubject desiredmaybe had throughsomeinstitution in thecountry.State linesarenotneces.: sarily barriers in correspondencework. One not familiar with modernuniversity correspondencecourses would do wellto examine themso as to see how clearly the assign- mentsaremade out and how carefullythe difficultiesareexplained. The criticisms by theinstructor, after reading thepaperssubmitted by students,areusuallyverydefinite and helpful.Many institutions continue their servicesin the field during thesummermonths; soschool isnever"out" for the cprrespondencestudent.Ifone can but master himself wellenough to succeed bycorrespondence methods, he has attained thoe qualitiesof independenteffort which makea student intoascholar.

Communitycenters,originállycalled socialcenters,areorganiza- tions designedto increase the number and effectiveness of activitite which brinpeople ofadistrict together.The idea behindthis movement is that of securingmorecooperationamongneighborsin the solution of community problems. Toserveteachers and different community center's,manyof the extension divisions of State universitiesand colleges have provided specialists in publicrecreation and playground activitieswho give &ssistahce and adviceonthese subjects.Help is also givenin developing leaders in thevarious communitycenters of the State. Furtherto aid the community centers,someof the extension divisions hold conferences andinstitutes; conduct investigastns'and surveys;furnishprograms,speakers. and exhibits. Of special interest is the Olan developedby the University oi Michigan.The cooperative plan for communitycenter service wu started in 1923,at which .all the colleges and normal schools of the State entered intoatentativeagreement with the State university, through its extension division,to give such assistanceasmight lie in thepowerof the various institutionsto further community center service,piirticulalyasrelated tò smalland outlying centers. The extension division of theuniversity publishes mild distribute eachyear aspecial bulletin in whicharegiven directions for local committees with referenceto the organization of community center serviceprograms.Tlje bulletin.also contains thenames of cooperat, inginstitutions, together with thenames ofthe special chairmen who have charge of the work in therespective institutions.It is especially noteworthy that thistype of service is .the first of its kina in thiscountry inwhich there is presentedto the people ofaStatea cooperative serviceonthe part of all the educational institutions of higher learning.lt is believed that thistype of service will proveof \great value, especially to rural and outlyingcenters. ..
