HOME STUDY THROUGH coRRE.
sPoNDENcE COURSES IN AGRI.
CULTURE SHOULD PROVE
HELPFUL.
DIRECTOR T. b. SYMONS.
Maryland Agricultural College
Extension Service.

We hear from many men and wom-
en- who desire to study agriculture and
who cannot leave their homes or their
present occupation to go to College
even for a short course. In order to
provide for the people so situated. the
Extension Service of the Maryland
Agricultural College has arranged to
give instruction by mail. as a part OF
its service to the people of the State.
1t has been fully demonstrated that
instruction by correspondence Is prac-
teal and IL is recognized as an efficient
means of giving valuable information
and direct systematic study. While
such instruction lacks some of the ad.
vantages of personal contact which
resident study gives. yet II has some
advantages of its own.
The student taking a correspondence
course is thrown upon his resources
and thus develops self-reliance. He
comes in contact with the instructor
through correspondence as an in
dividual. not as a member of a class.
Correspondence study enables the stu
dent TO employ his spare time in his
home, while permitting him to pursue
his daily work. II thus furnishes an
opportunity for the busy man and
woman on the farm. the ambitious
teacher. and the young student of lin
tied means to gain knowledge that
viii increase his efficiency and make
his labor more profitable to himself
and useful to society.
The courses offered have been pre-
pared by the teachers and specialists
at the College and Experiment Station
and. therefore, follow similar lines as
the instruction given in the respective
subjects at the Institution. They are
planned so as to be Of special adapt
ability to Maryland conditions.
