STUDY OF JAPAN
 DR. GLENN'S TOPIC
Will Conduct Courses Each
 Wednesday Afternoon

The geography of Japan will be the first subject studied in the extension course offered by the University of Alabama, Howard and Birmingham Southern. to be conducted by Dr. c. B. Glenn, each Wednesday afternoon at 3 30 o'clock in the study hall of the school administration building.
 The course, when completed, will give each student credit in any of the above named colleges on an arts or master degree, and will be conducted with an idea of familiarizing the class with the Japanese, historically as well as economically.
 'The course will enable one to under stand the present relations of Japan and America" said Dr. Glenn. "The history of Japan will be discussed in an effort to get close to the policies of the present Japan. The course will also include some of the political struggles we have had with her. It is my opin- ion, that the best preventative of war is the understanding, one country of another"
