Miss Bertha Erdmann, formerly of
the faculty Of the University of North
Dakota, is spending a few days at the
university. Miss Erdmann has been
in attendance at the meeting of the
executive committee of the State
Nurses association. While at the
university Miss Erdlnann did some
with the nurses course and training
work. She met with the local Red
Cross Committee Of North Dakota on
Monday, the End of November. Miss
Erdmann was appointed chairman Of
the committee by President Wilson.
She has a wide acquaintance through
the state in connection with this inn
portant work. Miss Erd4nann will
spend the winter in California.
Correspondence courses are rapidly
increasing in number and scope at
the State University. The extension
division has charge Of this work. Stu
dents all over the state are enabled
to follow college work and count it
toward a degree, or to take the work
simply for its educational value.
Courses are offered, in nearly every
field of education. Instructors at the
university take charge of the courses,
mark the papers that are sent in, and
take pains in determining the special
needs of the students. The work is
an important one and the best effort
is put into it. That it is meeting a
need is obvious from the growth and
development of the courses them
selves, as we'll as from the apprecia-
tion expressed on every hand.
The January Quarterly journal,
published at the University of North
Dakota, is now in process of prepare
ton. 1t will contain, q number of es-.
pecially interesting articles. The pub.
LEGATION is unlike most university
magazines and has attracted a very
widespread interest in other states.
In the January number there will be
an article by DR.. Henry, formerly Of
the university faculty, on the English
bar. DR.. 1Bek will discuss the work
Of the Germans in North Dakota. DR..
Davies of the department. of sociology
will write upon the social conditions
in some of our jails in North Dakota.
Professor Bridzell will write Of the
tax commission. Mr.. Syienbjorn
will discuss legislative procedure in
North Dakota. Mr.. Pettijohn, fornt
erly director of the extension division
Of the university, will write on extern
sion work. The number will deal
largely, as the titles of articles would
indicate, with the political and social
sciences.
