HOME-STUDY SERVICE 
 
 The Purpose of the Home-Study Service 
 
 What is known as the “efficiency movement” is one of the most sig- 
 nificant movements of modern life. To the business man and manufac- 
 turer it means satisfactory handling and production of wares with the 
 least possible outlay. The movement calls for the development and ap- 
 plication of scientific knowledge. In its pursuance old-time methods 
 have been supplanted and modern inventions have been introduced. 
 
 This movement is spreading rapidly and is touching every line of 
 work. It is back of the recent large expansion in practical arts educa- 
 tion, and the fact that young men and women of college training along 
 these lines go out and make good is sufficient justification for all that 
 has been done in developing this type of training. 
 
 The movement has also brought us to appreciate that education is a 
 life-long process; that the big problem is to catch the pace and keep 
 growing lest we fall behind in the rapid march of progress. 
 
 The demands of this situation account for the recent phenomenal 
 growth of extension education. There are many people in Kansas who 
 for many reasons cannot attend classes on the college campus, or are 
 past the stage where this would be advisable, but who can use the facili- 
 ties of the college to great advantage. The Home-study Service is a 
 part of the Extension Division of the Kansas State Agricultural College, 
 designed to make the state its campus — to enable the College to come to 
 those who cannot come to it. 
 
 Once it was thought that educational problems could be solved only in 
 the classroom, where subject matter was chosen from a textbook. To-day 
 it is realized that the home, the farm, and the shop are calling con- 
 tinually for the solution of problems upon which the future of the people 
 of the state depends. A barren soil, an unprofitable herd, an insani- 
 tary home, and kitchen wastes are but petty examples of the innumer- 
 able difficulties to be overcome. Years of experience and observation 
 have enabled many to solve their problems with some degree of success, 
 but the lack of scientific knowledge is responsible for many individuals 
 experimenting extravagantly and often uselessly. A combination of 
 experience and training in scientific methods is best. 
 
 One way of meeting these situations is through correspondence 
 courses. They are no longer an experiment but are a demonstrated 
 success. With them odd hours of spare time can be made to count. The 
 gross time required to complete correspondence courses is practically the 
 same as would be necessary for the same courses in school. Taken 
 where they may be applied to a practical situation they may be even 
 better. Correspondence courses may be started at any time; they wait 
 when one is busy; they are instantly ready when one has time — in fact, 
 they are made to order for the busy person.

 Home-Study Service 
 
 For Whom Intended 
 
 Though credit courses offered by the Home-study Service are still 
 limited, the number is steadily growing and it is the purpose of the de- 
 partment to add courses whenever a demand for them becomes evident. 
 The other types of work are sufficiently broad to be of value to a great 
 variety of people. The following classes in particular should be able 
 to profit by the courses offered: 
 
 1. Those who have completed a common-school course but who for any 
 reason are unable to attend high school. 
 
 2. High-school graduates temporarily or permanently unable to at- 
 tend college. 
 
 3. Students whose attendance at high school or college has been in- 
 terrupted. 
 
 4. Students who for any reason have fallen behind in their work and 
 wish to use their spare time catching up. 
 
 5. The strong, aggressive student who does not wish to halt his 
 progress for vacations and other interruptions. 
 
 6. High-school and grade classes in practical courses that need sup- 
 plementing and enrichment. 
 
 7. Teachers who wish further professional or other training, or 
 who need help in planning and conducting their work. 
 
 8. Professional and business men who wish to keep growing along 
 some line of interest, industrial or avocational. 
 
 9. Clubs and other organizations that wish to make systematic studies. 
 
 10. Men and women who wish effective help in meeting the demands in 
 their vocations for technical and scientific knowledge and training. 
 
 The Organization of the Home-Study Service 
 
 The Department of Home-study Service of the Division of College Ex- 
 tension was organized to form a close connecting link between the work 
 of the resident classes and those who are doing outside work. The in- 
 structors employed in this department are selected not only because of 
 their technical preparation, but also because they have made careful 
 study of the methods of correspondence teaching. They devote their 
 entire time to this work and can thus give their students the advantage 
 of the help of a specialist both in subject matter and in method of 
 teaching. 
 
 It will be observed that each division of the College has one or more 
 representatives in this department. While such representatives are 
 specially responsible for the correspondence teaching, yet they come 
 into very close touch with the resident instructors who are handling 
 the same subjects, and they have full advantage of the research work 
 being conducted in laboratories, libraries, seminars, and experiment 
 stations. 
 
 This plan of organization gives every person who takes advantage of 
 the Home-study a personal representative at the College to furnish him 
 technical information in a form which can be most readily understood.

 Since the adoption of this plan of organization it has proved its efficacy 
 in the increased number of students who have completed their courses 
 in a satisfactory manner. 
 
 The department attempts to meet the widely varying needs and 
 conditions of the people of the state. To make it practical for those who 
 are not accustomed to regular habits of study, as well as for those who 
 are studiously inclined, the service is rendered in the f ollowing forms : 
 
 1. Free Reading or Unit Courses, each of which is a one-lesson treat- 
 ment in a simple, brief, and non-technical way of a single problem or 
 unit of subject matter for which there is a demand in some phase of 
 practical every-day life. The courses in this list are so numerous and 
 varied that few interests are not touched by them. That they may be 
 readily available and freely used by all to whom they would be helpful 
 they are made free to residents of the state. Full particulars about Free 
 Reading Courses will be found in Part I of the Home-study Service An- 
 nouncement. 
 
 2. Vocational Courses, which are complete, comprehensive courses 
 adapted to the needs of those who are ambitious for thorough, scientific 
 training to meet in an effective way the many practical and technical 
 problems found in the various vocational activities. These afford the 
 nearest possible home equivalent of a college education and offer the 
 particular advantage of utilizing the practical situations of life as their 
 laboratory exercises. For full information concerning the Vocational 
 Courses refer to Part II, the first section of this bulletin. 
 
 3. Credit Courses, which are offered for those who for any reason are 
 unable to attend school and wish to do work of a type that can be used 
 for college or high-school credit. These courses are also of value to 
 those who wish to use their time to advantage when school is not in 
 session. For further information concerning Credit Courses, refer to 
 Part III, the last section of this bulletin. 
 
 4. Special Courses for Teachers, which are a series designed as helps 
 for teachers of industrial, agricultural, and home economic subjects. A 
 particular effort is made in these courses to make available to the teach- 
 ers of the state all the materials and aids which the Kansas State Ag- 
 ricultural College can offer them. 
 
 5. Emergency Courses. During the war a number of those courses 
 were offered to help meet the new difficulties and duties imposed. It is 
 the purpose of the department to continue a service of this kind. When- 
 ever new situations arise calling for such courses, requests for them will 
 be appreciated. 
 
 6. Study Centers. Under regulations established for this purpose 
 study centers may be arranged where college subjects may be studied 
 under the personal direction of members of the College faculty. 
 
 7. Information Service, the purpose of which is to afford a definite 
 source to which technical or informational questions may be referred. 
 All such questions which are referred to the Home-study Department 
 will be answered promptly, if possible, or referred to a specialist in the 
 College or elsewhere, who will supply the information desired.

 8. Lantern-slide Service. A number of sets of lantern slides on agri- 
 cultural and economic subjects have been prepared by specialists in the 
 College with particular reference to Kansas conditions. These will be 
 loaned free of cost (except transportation charges) to any responsible 
 resident of Kansas. 
 
 The experience of the many who have successfully and profitably 
 completed courses offered has proved that there is a demand for the 
 kind of work given by the Department of Home-study Service. The 
 sole purpose for which this department exists is that of rendering a 
 service to the people of the state. For further information concern- 
 ing any of the above features, write to the 
 
 DIRECTOR, HOME-STUDY SERVICE.

 How the Work I3 Conducted 
 
 In correspondence courses the assignment usually takes the form of 
 assigned readings, studies, and investigations, together with a list of 
 questions and directions for a written report. To save postage and 
 trouble in mailing numerous lessons, the correspondence lesson is usually 
 much longer than the common lesson in resident class work. When neces- 
 sary the lesson may be accompanied by a lecture prepared by the in- 
 structor, containing helpful outlines and explanations, additional sub- 
 ject matter, and such special directions as seem desirable. The lessons 
 are modified from time to time as suggested by experience and as new 
 information becomes available. 
 
 As soon as an enrollment card and fee are received at the Department 
 of Home-study Service, assignments 1 and 2 are immediately sent out, 
 and each time a report is received an additional assignment is sent. 
 This plan keeps work always at hand for the student and at the same 
 time makes it possible for the instructor to keep in close touch with the 
 student’s progress and to offer from time to time such suggestions as 
 seem desirable to guide the student in his work. As a rule the student 
 should make careful study of the corrections, comments, and suggestions 
 upon receiving a returned paper before going further with succeeding 
 lessons. 
 
 The progress made by the student depends entirely upon his ability, 
 preparedness, and application. As a general suggestion it might be 
 stated that an hour a day spent in systematic study should enable the 
 average student to complete an assignment a week. Students may work 
 more rapidly if their opportunities permit; lessons will be received as 
 rapidly as is consistent with good work. Under no circumstances, how- 
 ever, will hastily prepared manuscripts showing superficial knowledge 
 be accepted. 
 
 The questions accompanying each assignment are intended to help the 
 student to a better understanding of the subject. After careful study of 
 the assignment, or division of the book, the student should write his 
 
Home-Study Service 
 
 7 
 
 manuscript for that assignment, answering the questions carefully and 
 concisely. This manuscript should be mailed at once to the Department 
 of Home-study Service, where all lesson papers are read carefully, criti- 
 cized, marked, and returned to the student, with such comments, sug- 
 gestions, advice, and additional references as may be deemed necessary. 
 This plan is continued throughout the course, and each student should 
 feel free to ask questions, relate his personal experience, and in every 
 way possible get into close contact with his instructors. No effort is 
 spared by the department to bring about the nearest possible approach 
 to personal acquaintanceship between each instructor and his students. 
 
 Fees 
 
 Only a minimum fee is charged for correspondence courses. Different 
 plans are used for the different types of courses as indicated in the 
 special information concerning them. These fees do not in any sense 
 of the word cover the cost of offering the courses. The Department of 
 Home-study Service, as a part of the State Agricultural College, is 
 supported by the state for the benefit of its people and the fees charged 
 for correspondence courses bear about the same relation to the actual 
 cost as do registration fees for students who attend the College on the 
 campus. For nonresidents of Kansas a larger fee is charged. 
 
 Grades 
 
 In marking papers the same system of grading is used which is used 
 throughout in the resident classes of the Kansas State Agricultural 
 College. 
 
 The quality of the work is designated by the letters E, G, M, P, C, F, 
 and U, having the following significance and order of rank: 
 
 The grade E designates really distinguished achievement, and is the 
 net resultant of exceptionally good mental ability in conjunction with 
 serious application. 
 
 The grade G represents superior achievement, better than that ex- 
 hibited by average students, but not distinguished. It is recognized as 
 a mark of considerable honor, and is the resultant of high ability and 
 fair application, or of fair ability and serious application. 
 
 The grade M represents the standing of about half of all students in 
 the College. It means achievement equal to that of average students and 
 includes about half of all students’ grades. It indicates neither superior 
 nor inferior accomplishment. 
 
 The grade P represents achievement of a grade below that of average 
 students. It indicates a student’s position as being in the upper part of 
 the lower fourth of the class, and his work as being such as may be 
 described as poor or inferior. 
 
 The grade C, meaning conditioned, is the symbol used to represent 
 two types of inferior work: (a) That which is deficient in quality, and 
 (6) that which is satisfactory as to quality but inadequate as to quantity. 
 
8 
 
 Home-Study Service 
 
 The grade F, meaning failure, is used to indicate work that is so un- 
 satisfactory as to require that the work be repeated to receive credit. 
 
 The letter U, meaning unfinished, is reported when, in the judgment 
 of the instructor, the student deserves further time to complete work 
 which has been interfered with by illness or other excusable causes of 
 delay. 
 
 This is the system of grading used in all departments of the College 
 and is worked out on a scientific basis. The system also involves a few 
 points as to the distribution of grades, which it is necessary for the 
 student to know to appreciate their significance. The letters do not 
 represent certain parts of a percent scale, and cannot be expressed in 
 percent, but are a measure of comparative strength among students, and 
 their values are such that among a large number of students about 5 in 
 100 would be assigned E, 20 in 100 G, 50 in 100 M, 20 in 100 P, and 5 in 
 100 F or U. 
 
 Report Cards 
 
 Whenever a subject is satisfactorily completed and the examination 
 passed, a report card is issued to the student showing the final grade in 
 the course. Records are also kept in the department so that information 
 can be supplied about the work in the course at any subsequent time. 
 
PART II 
 
 Vocational Courses 
 
 (Fees, to residents of Kansas, $3 for single subject; $15 for complete series of 8 sub- 
 jects; to nonresidents, $6 and $30.) 
 
 These Vocational Courses are prepared for those out in the field of 
 practical work who wish to secure in a systematic way technical and 
 scientific training and information that can be applied directly in their 
 work. The courses do not give any credit that can be applied toward 
 graduation in high school or college, but they provide the nearest possible 
 home approach to a college education.* 
 
 Those who “did not have a chance to go to college” can no longer say 
 that they do not have educational opportunity. The College can come to 
 them. Those actively engaged in any of the trades, in agricultural 
 pursuits, or in home occupations are surrounded with the most practical 
 laboratories possible. Situations await on every hand to test theories 
 and enrich the live student’s store of workable information. Herbert 
 Quick stated a great truth when he said, “The farm is a better educa- 
 tional plant than money can buy in a city if we only develop a school 
 system that will make use of it.” 
 
 If those engaged in practical work will use their spare hours in study 
 bearing upon their work, it will give an enjoyment and appreciation to 
 both which might not otherwise be found, but there will also be practical 
 results, measured by more healthful homes, lightened labor, increased 
 harvests, and larger bank accounts. 
 
 These Vocational Courses are open to every individual who wishes to 
 improve his abilities. There are no entrance examinations and no pre- 
 requisite requirements save the ability to do profitably the work of the 
 courses, and of this each person is his own judge. 
 
 The Plan of the Vocational Courses 
 
 The subjects in the Vocational Courses are arranged in groups so as 
 to form a systematic course of study for those who desire to pursue a 
 definite line. To illustrate, if in the work in Agriculture one desires a 
 course in Animal Husbandry, one should take each of the five required 
 subjects under that head. Any three from the list of electives applying to 
 agricultural courses may then be chosen. By special arrangement with 
 this department, this choice may be made from any other list shown in 
 this pamphlet. This would complete the subjects required for the Vo- 
 cational Course in Animal Husbandry, and would entitle the student to 
 the Vocational Course Certificate. 
 
 * Any of the credit courses listed in Part III may also be taken as vocational or non- 
 credit courses.

 Home-Study Service 
 
 Examinations. In each subject, before the report card is issued, an 
 examination is required. This examination may be taken at the office 
 of the Home-study Service at the College without charge. If it is not 
 convenient for the student to come to the office for this examination, 
 arrangement can usually be made to take it before a county superin- 
 tendent, city superintendent, or principal of schools, in which case this 
 department will send out the examination questions and directions to 
 such person for conducting the examination. All such examination papers 
 will be sent to the department to be graded. 
 
 Home-study Certificate. A certificate will be awarded upon the 
 satisfactory completion of the required work and the necessary electives 
 in any course. This certificate is not a college diploma, but it bears the 
 same relation to a correspondence course that a diploma bears to a regular 
 college course. The certificate will be attractively designed and will 
 bear the name of the student and the name of the course completed. It 
 will be signed by the Dean of the Division of College Extension and by 
 the Director of the Department of Home-study Service. 
 
 Fees. The fee to residents of Kansas for Vocational Courses is three 
 dollars per subject or fifteen dollars for a complete course of eight 
 subjects. To nonresidents of the state double these fees will be charged. 
 When taking a complete course, subjects may be paid for one at a time 
 till five are paid for, then the other three will be available free of charge, 
 or the entire fee for the series of eight courses, fifteen dollars for resi- 
 dents of Kansas and thirty dollars for nonresidents, can be paid at the 
 start.

 Detailed Information Regarding Each of the Subjects 
 in the Agricultural Courses 
 
 EA 1 . Essentials of Agriculture. 16 assignments. This subject 
 covers the general principles and practices of agriculture in an ele- 
 mentary and yet thoroughly scientific manner. The lessons are planned 
 to give the student a fundamental knowledge of the different phases of 
 soil management, crop production, and animal husbandry, poultry raising, 
 orcharding, gardening, and other branches of agriculture. This work is 
 recommended before taking up special studies.

 EA 2. Elementary Agricultural Chemistry. 18 assignments. The 
 student of scientific agriculture does not proceed far until he finds him- 
 self handicapped unless he knows the essential facts and principles of 
 chemistry. This course is prepared for the man who has not had hig'n- 
 school or college work in this subject, but who needs as a foundation for 
 specific studies in agriculture a practical familiarity with the chemistry 
 of soils and fertilizers, plant growth, feeds, and nutrition, and the 
 various other applications of this science to farm problems.

 EA 3. Soils. 15 assignments. These lessons are to cover the sub- 
 ject of soils in all phases, with emphasis placed upon the handling of 
 soils to conserve the moisture. A study will be made of the nature, 
 functions, origin, texture and composition of soils; the kinds of soil and 
 their classification; humus, its relation to moisture and nitrogen; soil 
 water, its function in the soil and the capacity of soils for water; con- 
 servation of soil moistures; soil temperature; relation of air to soil; 
 fertilizers; farm drainage and irrigation; and the tillage of soils.

 EA 4. Cereal Crop:. 16 assignments. The words “cereal crops” are 
 applied to those plants belonging to the grass family which are cultivated 
 mainly for their edible grain. The lessons on this subject include corn, 
 wheat, oats, barley, rye, grain sorghums, and a few other plants of 
 lesser importance. The history and distribution, structure and compo- 
 sition, culture, insect pests, and diseases. Harvesting and storing of 
 products, and other essential features are treated with a view to local 
 applications and recent developments.

 EA 5. Forage Crops. 16 assignments. Forage crops, such as al- 
 falfa, sweet sorghums, millets, etc., are those produced for the value of 
 the entire plant as a food for animals. They include a far greater va- 
 riety of plants than does the group of cereal crops. The studies outlined 
 give the farmer the information he needs for the culture of the forage 
 plants adapted to bis locality.

 EA 8. Feeds and Feeding. 18 assignments. This course is designed 
 to assist the farmer or prospective farmer in the more economic feeding 
 of livestock. It includes a study of the digestive system and of the re- 
 requirements for maintenance, growth, and fattening. The composition 
 and uses of feeds is studied and much practice is given in the computa- 
 tion of rations for various classes of farm animals.

 EA 11. Farm Dairying. 15 assignments. The increasing impor- 
 tance of scientific, economic, and sanitary production of dairy materials 
 makes this subject desirable to all persons concerned with the produc- 
 tion, care, or use of dairy goods. The lessons are designed primarily to 
 improve farm dairying. They deal with the selection of breeds and in- 
 dividuals, herd improvement, care of dairy stock, feeding, milking, care 
 of milk and utensils, sanitation of herd, stables, milk and other products. 
 The assignments based on the text will be supplemented by reference 
 readings.

 EA 12. Poultry Production. 16 assignments. A comprehensive 
 study of the problems of poultry production and management is made 
 under this subject. Incubating and brooding, feeding and housing, care

 of empirical methods formerly used, and to this extent plumbing systems 
 can be designed to be more definite and reliable. A careful study of 
 these lessons will be of great interest and value not only to the young 
 men beginning a study of this subject, but also to more experienced 
 workmen.

 Detailed Information Regarding Each of the Subjects in 
 The Home Economics Courses 
 
 EH 1. Household Management. 18 assignments. The course offers 
 a comprehensive study of the mechanics of the household, the budget, 
 the business of purchasing, the basis of efficiency, the proper records of 
 the household, practical accounting, order and system in the household, 
 and many other equally important subjects. The business side of house- 
 keeping is not given the preponderance over the esthetic problem of 
 home making, but the latter phase is considered in a wholesome way as 
 well. It is a very general survey of the business of keeping a house and 
 making a home.

 EH 5. Sewing I (Elementary Garment Making). 18 assignments. 
 Every woman needs at least an elementary knowledge of sewing; for 
 even though it is possible to buy every article of clothing ready made, 
 a knowledge of the subject is necessary in order to select wisely, to 
 make the selections look well, and to make them wear as long as pos- 
 sible. The making of undergarments, choice of patterns, alteration of 
 patterns, selection of materials and trimmings, use of sewing machine, 
 the drafting of simple patterns, cutting and making garments, em- 
 broidery, and the hygiene of clothing, will each be studied in a com- 
 prehensive way.

 much more inviting and attractive by a study of this course, for it is de- 
 signed to give instruction upon the various elements that combine to 
 make a harmonious dwelling. In it are considered the outward ap- 
 pearance, the plan of the house, the treatment of the walls and floors, the 
 various rooms, rugs and furnishings, pictures and ornaments. A very 
 delightful study, which will be sure to deepen the interest in things that 
 center in and about the home.

 EH 12. Personal Hygiene. 18 assignments. This course comprises 
 the application of biology and physiology to the health problems. It is 
 descriptive of the value of health. It teaches personal responsibility, and 
 the care of the body as a human machine. Some of the lessons to* be 
 covered are the following: the care of the teeth, the hygiene of eating 
 and drinking, bathing, the care of the hair, and the complexion, physical 
 exercises, and the ethics of health.

 EH 13. Household Bacteriology. 18 assignments. Now that so 
 many of the common diseases have been traced to germ action it is im- 
 perative that the progressive housewife be informed upon the essentials 
 of the life history of the common forms. Moreover, since many common 
 germs are helpful rather than harmful in their activities, it is well to 
 know about these forms. Hence this course gives instruction upon bac- 
 teria, yeasts and molds in a manner that is both very interesting and 
 highly instructive. The housewife who takes this course should become 
 a better bread maker, an expert at canning and caring for fruit and 
 vegetables, and be better prepared to preserve and minister to the health 
 of her family.

 EH 14. Child Life and Care of Children. 18 assignments. This is 
 a study of normal children and their habits. It is given in such a way 
 that it will arouse a deeper sympathy and a broader toleration of chil- 
 dren. It is designed also to enlarge the understanding and create a 
 keen appreciation of child life. The care and feeding of children occupies 
 a generous portion of the course, covering as it does the feeding of in- 
 fants, feeding during the transition period, and the feeding of children 
 of school age. Character building, art and literature in child life, studies 
 and accomplishments, financial and religious training, and faults and 
 their remedies are some of the topics studied.

 EH 15. Household Chemistry. 16 assignments. The progressive 
 housewife of to-day feels that at least an elementary knowledge of chem- 
 istry is necessary in order to comprehend the subject of food and nu- 
 trition in its broadest sense, as well as to understand many other sub- 
 jects and articles connected with everyday life. Hence this course 
 treats of first principles of chemistry in such a way as to furnish this 
 necessary knowledge. Metal tarnishes, iron rust, hard water, soaps, 
 bleaching, blueing and dyeing are some of the practical topics treated.

PART III 
 
 Credit Courses 
 
 (Fee, $10 for a year’s enrollment, not to exceed eight semester credits. For nonresi- 
 dents of Kansas the fee is $15 a year.) 
 
 This department offers credit work by correspondence in two general 
 lines— for entrance credit (regular accredited high-school subjects), and 
 for college credit. All work is equal in extent and comprehensiveness to 
 the parallel resident courses. In a general way the same prerequisites 
 are necessary for these courses as for high-school and college courses in 
 residence. 
 
 Correspondence credit courses have advantages and disadvantages 
 when compared with resident courses. Among the advantages is the 
 fact that they can be taken while at home and in connection with other 
 necessary work that makes impossible attendance at an educational in- 
 stitution. They also have the advantage over class work of requiring the 
 student to work through the material in all its phases and details. This 
 advantage has been well proved by the mastery of the subject matter by 
 those who have completed correspondence courses, by the ease with 
 which they have met their examinations, and by the strength shown as 
 they have continued their work in classes. 
 
 In the organization of this department every effort has been made 
 to eliminate the disadvantages often found in correspondence-study 
 work. Many of these disadvantages, such as absence of laboratory fa- 
 cilities, have been practically eliminated by the fact that no courses are 
 offered in which strictly laboratory work is required. A plan is under 
 consideration whereby certain lines of work previously presented only 
 through the laboratory method will be handled as supervised home 
 projects. Thereby much of this work will be rendered very effective, as 
 it will be done under actual field conditions. 
 
 The absence of library facilities is reduced to a minimum by arrange- 
 ments made with the College library whereby students may borrow books 
 for a reasonable length of time. The disadvantage of lack of personal 
 contact with the instructor cannot be entirely overcome and long has been 
 considered a great obstacle in the way of correspondence work. This, no 
 doubt, has been well founded where the regular resident instructors have 
 been relied upon to handle correspondence students as a side line, but the 
 organization of the Department of Home-study Service provides an in- 
 dependent corps of instructors for correspondence-study work. These in- 
 structors have been very carefully selected, not only because of their 
 special preparation and experience in the lines which they will teach, 
 but also because of their unusual interest in and fitness for teaching by 
 mail. 1 1 1 
 
 The work of the instructors in this department is not merely a matter 
 of correcting papers, but embraces the comprehensive field of surveying 
 
 ( 28 ) 
 
Part III — Credit Courses 
 
 29 
 
 the needs of each student and fitting the instruction to the individual 
 case. Under this sort of guidance the student who is out in the field 
 in close contact with the practical problems of life may do excellent work. 
 The increase in the percent of students who have satisfactorily com- 
 pleted their courses since this plan was adopted justifies the conclusion 
 that many of the disadvantages of the older system of correspondence in- 
 struction have been overcome. 
 
 These courses should be of particular interest to those who for any 
 reason are temporarily unable to attend high school or college. They 
 also offer opportunity for the ambitious student to use his vacation time 
 to advantage. This department does not close for summer vacation, 
 and therefore provides a year-round school. 
 
 The Plan of Credit Courses 
 
 Throughout this bulletin the term “course” is used to refer to a 
 single subject consisting of from eight to twenty-four lesson assign- 
 ments. 
 
 The credit courses are divided, for convenience, into two general 
 groups — the high-school group and the college group. Each of these 
 groups is in turn classified into groups of courses in the same general 
 field of work. Wherever conditions will permit, the required courses 
 named in the general College catalogue are offered. In some cases this 
 is hardly possible by reason of the extensive laboratory and field work 
 required. Some of the groups should be particularly valuable to the 
 person engaged in practical work in the field. For example, the agri- 
 cultural courses are especially valuable to teachers of agriculture; the 
 educational courses should prove particularly attractive to public-school 
 teachers and students preparing to meet the requirements for state 
 certificates. 
 
 Examination 
 
 At the close of each course, before a report card is issued, a final ex- 
 amination is necessary. This final examination may be taken in the office 
 of the Department of Home-Study Service at the College, or arrange- 
 ments may be made by the student to take it locally under the city or 
 count superintendent of schools. In the latter case the examination ques- 
 tions and instructions for conducting the examination are mailed from the 
 department to the examiner, and the student’s paper is sent in by him. 
 This final examination determines entirely the final grade in the course 
 reported to the Registrar and to the student. The preparation of papers 
 is required throughout the course, and the papers are read, graded and 
 commented upon solely as an aid to the student in mastering the subject 
 matter. 
 
 This form of study work gives the student such familiarity with the 
 entire ground covered in any course, and so trains him in expressing his 
 thought in clear-cut, concise statements that the examination presents 
 but little difficulty. 
 
30 
 
 Home-Study Service 
 
 Grades 
 
 Whenever a subject is satisfactorily completed and the examination 
 passed, a report card is issued showing the name of the subject and the 
 grade of work. This grade is turned into the registrar's office and be- 
 comes a matter of permanent record just as though the work- had been 
 taken in residence. The student also is furnished a copy of this report. 
 
 Fees 
 
 The enrollment fee for credit courses is $10 a year. This rate ap- 
 plies to all residents of Kansas. (The fee required of nonresidents of 
 the state is $15 a year.) Those who may be only temporarily employed 
 outside of the state may enroll for the regular $10 fee, provided they 
 still claim their citizenship in Kansas. Enrollment cannot be trans- 
 ferred from one student to another, neither can any portion of the en- 
 rollment fee be refunded. 
 
 If a student’s work is interrupted by protracted illness or military 
 service, he may, by special arrangements, secure an extension of his en- 
 rollment period without payment of further dues. All such cases must 
 be handled individually. 
 
 Each student is expected to pay the postage on lessons, manuscripts 
 and communications sent in to the department. This office will furnish 
 postage for the return of all such papers to the student. 
 
 This enrollment entitles the student to as much work as can be sat- 
 isfactorily completed in one year, not to exceed eight semester hours of 
 college work or three semester credits of high-school work, unless the 
 work is of a very high character, in which event special arrangements 
 may be made for a limited amount of additional work. 
 
 Textbooks 
 
 All credit subjects are based on textbooks; these are furnished by 
 the student. In the paragraph explaining each subject the names of the 
 textbooks, the prices and the names of publishers are given for the con- 
 venience of students who desire to order their books directly from the 
 publishing companies. To assist students in getting the proper edition 
 of the various textbooks, and also to insure prompt delivery, which is 
 hardly possible if the books are ordered by the students from a distant 
 company, this department has arranged with the local book stores to 
 carry a supply of all texts, any of which will be mailed to students at 
 exactly the same price as if purchased from the publisher. 
 
 How to Enroll 
 
 In general, completion of the course of the eighth grade is desirable 
 before undertaking any of the high-school courses, and completion of a 
 four-year high-school course before registering for college work. 
 
 Students who are doing work in residence at the Kansas State Agri- 
 cultural College or at any other educational institution may not be en- 
 
Part III — Credit Courses 
 
 31 
 
 rolled for correspondence-study work without the written permission of 
 the dean or other proper authority. 
 
 Some students may be permitted to carry two courses simultaneously, 
 although usually this is inadvisable. When only one course is taken, the 
 effort is concentrated and the work can be completed in a reasonable 
 length of time. Certain courses have prerequisites; where this is the 
 case it will be so stated in the detailed discussion of the course. These 
 requirements must be met before enrolling for a course. When enrolling 
 use the blank found in this pamphlet, and indicate the course desired by 
 name and number. Enclose this blank with the amount of the enroll- 
 ment fee, which is $10 for residents of Kansas and $15 for nonresidents 
 of the state. All checks should be made payable to Director of Home- 
 study Service, Kansas State Agricultural College. If textbooks are to 
 be sent from this department, enclose separate check for the cost of 
 these and state the books that are to be sent. Never include payment 
 for textbooks in the same check with fees or other expenses. 
 
 Note. Any credit course may be taken as a noncredit or vocational 
 course under the terms indicated for vocational courses. 
 
 High-school Courses 
 
 (College Entrance Credit Work.) 
 
 In offering the following work for high-school credit there is no in- 
 tention of competing with the high schools of the state. It is not the 
 purpose of those who have planned the work to present a full four-year 
 high-school course. Students who have opportunity to attend local high 
 schools should by all means take advantage of the opportunity, for in 
 such attendance they will be under the personal direction of their in- 
 structors and will have the benefit to be derived from association with 
 fellow students, as well as many other advantages which will be help- 
 ful to immature students of high-school age. 
 
 These courses are offered as an aid to those who may by necessity 
 be temporarily out of high school, who may not find the work which they 
 desire offered locally, or who wish to carry work for high-school credit 
 during vacation periods. It is not to be expected that a student can 
 progress as rapidly by correspondence-study methods as he can by de- 
 voting his full time to his work when attending high school. Any stu- 
 dent who completes a half year of high-school work in a year by corre- 
 spondence may feel that he has done exceedingly well. 
 
 These high-school courses will be especially advantageous to pros- 
 pective college students who have entrance deficiencies, and to public- 
 school teachers who may not have had the opportunity to do this type of 
 work. No effort has been spared to make the work as nearly as possible 
 parallel with the courses offered by the accredited high schools of the 
 state. The same textbooks have been used wherever feasible and the 
 credits issued by this department will be recognized by the colleges and 
 State Board of Education.

 These courses follow carefully the State Course of Study for High 
 Schools of Kansas and give three units credit, or full college entrance 
 requirements in English. Each year’s work includes two divisions: the 
 first, composition; the second, literature. 
 
 FIRST YEAR. 
 
 PCE 1. Grammar and Composition. One-half unit credit; 20 assign-

 SECOND YEAR 
 
 PCE 3. Composition. One-half unit credit; 20 assignments. The first 
 semester’s work in grammar and composition is a preparation for this 
 course, which is on composition and rhetoric. Rhetoric has more to do 
 with effective writing and not so much with the mechanical steps of 
 composition. In this course, therefore, the study of effective writing is 
 undertaken.

 such study of this form of composition as will enable the student to ob- 
 serve closely, to select important features, and to describe accurately 
 and vividly what he sees; narration, its principles and essentials; the 
 story — the purpose of the study is to get the student to appreciate a 
 good story. Many short stories are read and their good qualities em- 
 phasized.
