TO THE IOWA STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION: For seven years the Iowa State Teachers College has conducted an unusual system of extension teaching- for the benefit of the public schools of Iowa. This system has given the State the leadership in the United States in all matters pertaining- to the improvement of teachers in the public service and in the opening- of the best and most thoroughly organized opportunities that are accord- ed anywhere for recruiting the profession of teaching. So interesting have been the experiences, so general and appreciative the responses of the teachers through co- operation and so pronounced have been the results upon public education in the State that this report has been prepared and printed for distributing information to con- tinuous inquiry from other states and to show the Iowa people what an unprecedented undertaking has been in- augurated by the Iowa State Board of Education and maintained b- the Iowa State Teachers College for the nublic welfare and for progress in education. Respectfully submitted, HOMER H. SEERLEY, President December i, 1920 LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL SEVENTH ANNUAL REPORT President Homer H. Seerley: I have the honor, herewith, to transmit the Annual Report of the Extension Division for the calendar year ending- June i, 1920. Very respectfully, IRVING H. HART Director of Extension REPORT OF THE EXTENSION DIVISION 1919-1920 INTRODUCTION With the end of the college year on June 1, 1920, the Extension Division of the Iowa State Teachers College concluded the seventh year of service to the teachers of Iowa. Already it has passed as an institution into a certain stage of maturity. Its services have come to be considered by the county and city superintendents of the state as one of the chief effective means of bringing to the teachers under their supervision opportunity for professional self-improvement. It has grown with the growth of public education in the state during these tremendously-formative years, grown not only in the diversity and extent of its activities, but in the scope of its vision. It has endeavored with a measurable degree of success to keep pace with educational progress without yielding to the temptations of either sensationalism or fadism. Its work has been that of a clearing house into which have been brought the best thought and practice of the foremost educators of the country and out of which these ideas and methods have been carried to the teachers in service in such form as most readily to be assimilated by them and adapted to their immedi- ate use. Whatever of success has been achieved is due to no single cause but to the enthusiastic and sympathetic support rendered by the President of the Iowa State Teachers College, to the generous provision of funds by the General Assembly at the instance of the State Board of Education, to the loyal and efficient work of the members of the Extension Faculty and to the hearty co-operation of the superintendents and teachers of the state. The report which follows is designed to set forth in sufficiently necessary detail the various forms of activity undertaken by the Extension Division as to their nature, the plan and process of organization, the number of teachers attending the various meetings or enrolled in extension classes, and the cost to the state of the organization and maintenance of the work. Some few comparative statistics are also presented in order to form a basis for a judgment as to the continuing acceptability of the extension service. Separate sections of the report deal with: I. General Study Centers. II. Credit Extension Classes. III. Consultative Service. IV. Institute and other Extra-Mural Service. V. Extension Summer Schools. VI. Recommendations. 8 IOWA STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE GENERAL STUDY CENTERS The first step in the organization of this form of service is the selection of the material for presentation. During the spring quarter of 1919 a series of conferences was held by the Director of Extension with various groups of instructors representing different departments of instruction. As a result of these conferences agreement was made as to the subjects and topics chiefly to be offered in General Study Centers. These conferences also gave opportunity for a mutual exchange of ideas, views and experiences which was of great value to all those participating. The nature and content of outline material to be prepared for class use was also discussed and assignment made to individuals or committees for the preparation of such material. Following this an "Availability Blank" in .the form appended below was distributed to the members of the Faculty, am I (am not) available for assignment to General Study Center Work as indicated below: 1. Check the subjects you are willing to present. . .Agriculture . ... .Language and Grammar . .Arithmetic . .Civics . .Didactics . .Domestic Science . .Drawing . .Geography . . Handwork . .History . .Hygiene and Sanitation . Manual Training .Music .Nature Study . Penmanship .Physical Education . Physics .Primary Work . Reading . Spelling 2. How many Saturdays during the regular school year are you willing to devote to General Study Center Work? 3. What Saturday dates should be avoided in making your assignments? Signed Date From the information obtained from the answers to this inquiry, a list of instructors for each subject was made, together with a tabulated statement of the dates on which each was available for assignment. These data were compiled in a circular which was mailed out to the county superintendents of the state about May 15th. With this circular was enclosed a date sheet containing all the dates in the coming school year satisfactory for the holding of General Study Center Meetings. EXTENSION DIVISION REPORT 9 ORGANIZATION The organization of the General Study Centers for the year was effected as usual by the Director through personal conferences with the county superintendents wherever such conferences were practic- able. The greater part of the time of the Director between June 1 and August 1 5 was occupied with these conferences. The arrangement by the Department of Rural Education for a Rural School Conference to which a number of the county super- intendents were invited and which a number of them attended made it possible for the General Study Center schedules in different coun- ties to be arranged in the office of the Extension Division. Fifteen county superintendents were invited to meet the Director at mutually convenient points, the traveling expenses of the superintendents being paid by the state. The Director called on sixty county super- in endents in their offices. Eight schedules were arranged by letter or by phone. In all, the arrangements for General Study Centers were made in ninety-seven of the ninety-nine counties. In Scott County the preference of the county superintendent was for the organization of Credit Extension Classes. No General Study Centers were scheduled for Clayton County. The increasing demand for Credit and Consultative service together with the necessity of meeting this demand without addition of funds or increase in the number of instructors made it necessary to reduce the number of General Study Centers below the previous standard of six to a county. For the year 1919-1920 this standard was reduced to four. Except in especial circumstances where there was no central point within a county where the General Study Center meetings could be held, county superintendents were urged to hold all of their meetings in the same place. The experience of the past six years tends to indicate that a larger number of teachers are reached in this way than where the meetings are scattered. 10 IOWA STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE TYPES OF GENERAL STUDY CENTERS The "General" Study Center, originally so called to distinguish it from several other types as "Professional", "Vocational", "Cre- dit" and Consultative", deals as its name indicates with the problems of the general field of education. Reference to the section of the report on "Subjects and Topics" will indicate the nature of the subject matter presented in these meetings. From the beginning of the work of the Extension Division the General Study Center service has constituted the major portion of its activities. Other forms developed originally as mere variations from types. Of those named above the Professional and Vocational types have been re-absorbed by the General Study Center. The Credit and Consultative types, however, have become distinctly differentiated and now occupy each a place of its own of unquestioned value in the service. The General Study Centers continue nevertheless to require the expenditure of thirty-five per cent of the Extension Service Fund for their support. The General Study Center meetings vary from type in the form of organization and slightly in the nature of the work presented. As to form of organization they vary in having one, two or three sections or groups into which the number of teachers attending is divided. The division into sections is made chiefly upon the basis of the nature of the work of the teachers involved. ONE SECTION MEETINGS Many county superintendents are accustomed to call their rural teachers together at the county seat on a date immediately before or very early in the Fall Term in order to distribute necessary supplies and take up with them some of the problems which constantly con- front the rural teacher. The Extension Division was called upon to furnish one or more instructors for such meetings in a number of counties, the work presented being usually "The Organization and Classification of a One-Teacher School", and "The Making of a Daily Program". Twenty such meetings were held with one instructor and nine with two instructors on the dates and at the places indi- cated below. The additional instructor in every case but one pre- sented either Handwork or Primary Methods. This particular type of service has proven extremely effective in its results.

In such cases the instructors alternate in their work with the single group, each instructional period being approximately one hour in length. The whole number of such meetings exclusive of those held before the opening of the school year is one hundred and forty-five, constituting the largest number of meetings of any one variety of General Study Centers. In most cases this form of organization is anticipated and provided for in 12 IOWA STATE TEACHERS COLLEGE advance. In other cases where owing to unfavorable weather condi- tions, bad roads or to the prevalence of illness in the community, the attendance falls below the number anticipated and the program is changed after the arrival of the instructors from two sections to one. TWO SECTION MEETINGS The really typical General Study Center Meeting is divided into two sections, one each for Grade Teachers and for Rural Teachers. This division is found to be advantageous not merely because it re- duces the number in each group to a point where it is possible to make a more nearly personal appeal to each teacher present, but because in most subjects of instruction the difference in the condi- tions surrounding the two kinds of schools is such as to make a difference in presentation desirable if not necessary. The interest of the teachers is increased also when they are led to feel that the program is arranged so as to meet more specifically their particular needs. When the numbers of teachers in attendance is anticipated to be one hundred or more, in a few instances three instructors have been sent to a two section meeting. In all one hundred forty-three two- section meetings were held during the past year, to fifteen of which three instructors were assigned. THREE SECTION MEETINGS A distinct effort has been made during the year just past to interest high school teachers, principals and superintendents in the General Study Centers with gratifying results. In cases where the probable patronage seemed assured, three instructors were assigned to each meeting and a program offering separate periods and topics for Rural, Grade, and High School Teachers was presented. The (able below indicates the essential facts regarding meetings of this variety. As will be seen by referring to the tabulated statement presented later in this report, a large number of high school teachers attended General Study Center meetings where no specific provision for their needs was made.

The entire edition was exhausted early in the fall. The most notable contribution to educational progress which it has been the privilege of the Extension Division to make through the medium of printing is the bulletin "A Course of Study in Geography" by Alison E. Aitchison and Marguerite (Mi. Uttley, 5000 copies of which were issued during the Fall Quarter. The reception of this bulletin has been cordial in the extreme. Numerous com- mendatory letters concerning this bulletin have been received. However, the most substantial endorsement has been the adoption of the course in geography as outlined therein as the basis of instruc- tion in this subject in the public schools of a number of leading Iowa towns and cities including Charles City, Clinton, Mason City, and West Waterloo. The number of mimeographed and multigraphed outlines for use in Study Center work is indicated below: Number of Outlines 42 Number of Copies (Est.) 45000 INSTRUCTORS The General Study Center work for the year was done by ninety- two different instructors whose names, classification and number of assignments appear below. Regular instructors are nominated from the membership of the regular campus faculty. Additional instruc- tors are chosen by reason of demonstrated fitness for and ability to do educational extension work from among city superintendents and special teachers and other educators in various parts of the state. Local instructors are nominated at the request of county superin- tendents for assignment to duty within their own county only. EXTENSION DIVISION REPORT 2? TABLE NO.

The prominent lines of work of this type during the year have been in Geography, Reading, Normal Training High School Music, Manual Training in Consolidated Schools, Demonstration of the Life Topic Method of Teaching, Drawing, and Presentation of the Benefits of School Organization under Consolidation for Rural Districts, besides miscellaneous activities- Organization The college worker usually makes a two-day visit to a school system and plans to see one entire class period with each teacher, or in larger places, to become familiar with typical conditions in all departments. Following such visits of observation a group con- ference of all teachers affected is held. On the second day demon- stration teaching of classes usually occurs with further conferences, both individual and group. Staff expense The instructor doing consultative service is usually taken over for the quarter and paid for full time by the Extension Division. Owing to the vigorous nature of the work four days per week are regarded as full time, All traveling expenses of instructors are paid for by the Extension Division budget. No charges of any sort for consultative service are made to the local school. Results The results of this service are immediate and most gratifying. The demand for it is universal. We are limited in the amount that can be offered by the budget and also by the small number of in- structors who possess the peculiar qualifications required, and who can be released from residence class teaching for a quarter.

GENERAL STUDY CENTER WORK The General Study Center work has already reached its reason- able maximum. The amount of this service has already been some-, what arbitrarily restricted as, beyond the limit fixed, both the ener- gies of the instructors and the money appropriated by the legisla- ture for our use may be more effectively expended in developing other types of service. There will continue to be a demand for General Study Center Service, particularly for the rural teachers for whom there is little other opportunity to secure direct help in the problems arising in their everyday work. However, because the General Study Center is general, it would appear that wherever it is possible to replace it by some form of service more specific and more directly related to the needs of the teachers, such opportunity should be taken. Unless something should occur decidedly to in- crease the cost of travel, only a moderate increase in the present amount budgeted for General Study Centers will be needed for the next biennial period. CREDIT EXTENSION SERVICE Circumstances in the past have operated to restrict the expan- sion of our college credit work in extension, such as the difficulty of finding time for the organization of this work, the epidemic of influ- enza last year, and the limited amount of funds available for this phase of the service. We trust that in the future these obstacles will be removed, and are confident in believing that this work is capable of decided expansion. The present budget permits the or- ganization of only a limited number of these classes for credit work. This number could be largely increased if there were money to sup- port them and to provide for a more satisfactory means of super- vision of the work. There is a marked demand for the organization of summer credit classes in college subjects in centers where a sufficient patron- age for such work may be obtained. Due consideration should be given to the question of meeting this demand. EXTENSION DIVISION REPORT 69 CONSULTATIVE SERVICE The Consultative Service of the Extension Division has proven to be the most satisfactory feature of our work. It is in its nature extremely specific, is based upon a careful survey of actual condi- tions and in the hands of expert teachers, such as we have sent into the field, is deserving the universal praise which has been accorded it by superintendents and teachers who have been served. The Ex- tension Division should have funds sufficient to enable it to maintain as large a number of instructors constantly in the field in Consulta- tive Service as is consistent with the demand and its adequate satis- faction. Some adjustment should be made in order to give recogni- tion to the fact that this type of service is much more exacting in its nature than residence work, by providing for an increased compen- sation. If necessary, we should be in ia position to call from other institutions instructors who have demonstrated their ability to ren- der a special type of service desired in this connection. PRINTING AND PUBLICATION It is our judgment that a portion of the Extension budget, suf- ficiently adequate to provide for the issuing of bulletins from time to time, should be set aside. We should like to be in a position to recommend that a monthly Extension Bulletin be issued which might be admitted to second class rates. Such material as is now being issued in mimeographed form might much of it be better placed before the teachers of Iowa in printed form. This also would give opportunity for and encouragement of an increase in productive scholarship on the part of our faculty. ADDITIONAL PERSONNEL The expansion of service suggested above will make it neces- sary to add to the personnel of the Division such assistance as would be required adequately to take charge of the additional work. EXTENSION SUMMER SCHOOLS Such addition should be made to the budget of the Extension Summer Schools as will make possible an increase in the number of such schools and at the same time provide sufficient funds to pay the salaries necessary in order to secure teachers properly qualified for this work." w u fc < fc w H H <* fc o w 1— 1 H £ P u ri o O^ m H o VO OO O * O UD lO m lO m CO M M ■> p o y p p Jh P PQ p OJ O Vh e o P O u 'o u u a 0) 03 1 • t/3 o 'Ja U h-1 > ^ w ^ U h-1 Q U < o vO W o lO m CO c* o ^ o o> o\ ON 00 00 OO CO CO c o CJ OS O^ efl On H > p 3 O u p C/5 U 'o 1>> <3J c o3 o3 P 6 03
