paTIileHI Ol EuuCdllOH.
Extension courses are being offer
ed by the State Department of Educa-
ton to the teachers of elementary
schools of Garrett county during the
school year of 1921-1922 at the follow
ing places: Friendsville, Grantsville,
Accident, Kitzmiller and Oakland.
These courses are both professional
and academic. The professional
course, because of the small number
of teachers who enrolled elsewhere,
will be given at Oakland only. .Aca-
demic courses, however, will be given
at the high school buildings at Grants
vile, Friendsville, Accident, Kitzmil.
Ter and Oakland.
Only persons who hold second grade
certificates or who are high school
graduates, may enroll for the profess
sional course. The course which will
be given is principles of Teaching"
An academic course may be taken by
any person interested in teaching Ger
tainly, no teacher in Garrett county,
holding regular or provisional third
grade certificate who is within a reas-
enable distance from the centers
where such courses will be given,
should fail to avail himself or herself
of this opportunity. Even though you
may not have enrolled for the work up
to the present, the opportunity to do
so is still offered. Go to the place next
Saturday that suits you best if you
now desire to take up the work out
lined. At Friendsville, the course
which will be given is mathematics:
at all other centers, English will be
given. Schedule for the first meet
ings is as follows: Professional course

At the first meeting, teachers and
instructors are to arrange the time
for other meetings. The tuition fee
to be paid by those taking academic
courses will be decided upon, also. 1t
is exceedingly important that all who
expect to do this work should start
Immediately. Thirty weeks, two hours
week, are required for the course.
In case of some very severe storms,
some arrangements may be made
later for doing the work.
Some of the values of these courses
are: % An Extension Course sue
cessfully completed may be used to-
wards extending ones certificate; (2)
An Extension Course successfully
completed receives the same credit as
a summer school attendance for rails
ing the grade of a certificate; 60 An
Extension Course helps one to pre-
pare for Uniform Teachers Exami-
nations for raising the grade of ones
certificate; (4) An Extension Course
will help each teacher to become a
better teacher, the school taught to
become better school, and Garrett
county's educational index number to
be raised, which index number we
shall explain in full later.
Give this work your earnest consid-
Grafton. Attend the first meeting on
next Saturday, October 10th, and join
one of the classes. At that first meet
ing, regulations about the work will
be discussed and additional informa-
ton given. None of these courses is
planned for teachers now holding first
grade certificates.
