THE EDUCATIONAL
WORK EXTENDED
Y. NJ. c. A. TO BECOME ACTIVE IN
THE COUNTY WITH IT'S EX-
TENSION WORK.

Clair A. Perrigo Of st. Louis, has
recently been appointed educational
secretary of the Y. NJ. c. \. at Sag
NAV, and is to have charge Of the eE-
tension work Of the United y. NJ. c..
A. Schools in both Gratiot and Sagi-
nav counties. Mr. Pcrrigo says that
this phase of "Y" work has never
been called to the attention OF the
people of these counties.
The latest development of the Edu-
cationai Department is the Home
Study Division. Many people are so
situated that it is impossible for them
to attend resident schools. To these
the United Y. M. c. A. Schools offer
an education in almost any subject de-
sired, having over 200 courses listed.
These courses cover a great variety of
subjects: Mechanical, electrical, COM
mercial and all their subdivisions,
mathematics, English, foreign Lam
guages. Nearly anything that any
one could wish to study is Offered.
The agricultural courses are varied
in their scope, SO that the farmer or
the farmers son who wants to spe-
cialize in his farming can learn by
studying at home nights He can
even get a course i'm concrete con-
struction, and learn how TO do his
own cement and concrete work. And
what can be dore for the farmer cam
be done for others. Anyone from Che
business executive TO the humbicst Ia
borer can be helped.
This department has been enrolling
students for the last two years from
all over the United States and has be-
come so popular that now over POO in-
structors are employed at the New
York headquarters to correct lessons.
The policy of the Y. NJ. G.. A. is TO
educate the student for exactly What
it costs to get the lessons and MAJ
terials to him. BY means of "a care
fully developed follow-up system it is
now possible to take the students
through an average Of four times ~
many lessons as any other similar
school.
Mr.. Perrigo plans on having head.
quarters both in st. Louis and s
Saginaw.

the headlights are concerned
