CORRESPONDENCE COURSES
Pennsylvania State College Gives Instrue-
tiom by Correspondence,
These courses are designed to afford
an easy means for the student to pur-
sue a systematic course of study at his
own home. Experience has clearly
shown that there are many people who |
desire an agricultural education, and’
who cannot, for various reasons, at-
tend college. These courses are de-
signed to meet the wantsof such per-
sons. As science is continually mak-
ing more or less rapid strides in the
various lines of agricultural work, in
many instances it is almost impossible
for the busy man to keep well inform-
ed upon the latest investigations and
the best thought of those whom we
recognize as authority on agricultural
affairs. It is the purpose, therefore, of
these courses to give, in a somewhat
condensed form, yet comprehensive
enough to be readily understood, a
summary of the best knowledge con-
cerning the subjects of which they
treat.
Printed lessons have been prepared
by the College, and are sent out, free
of cost, to the students enrolled in
these courses. These lessons treat
somewhat in detail of the topics under
consideration, and, as regards subject-
matter, resemble somewhat the lee
tures given to college classes. The les-
sons also make suggestions for study,
and frequently describe simple experi.
ments that may be made by the stu.
deuts to illustrate points in question.
Students may be enrolled at any
time, by applying either personally or
by letter, and filling out the blank
form furnished by the College.
The College makes no charge for
enrollment nor for any instruction
that may be given. The lessons are
sent out to the students without cost
#1 they are prepared to study them,
Each student is required to bear his
share of the expense of correspondence,
For courses where books are not requir
ed, no other expense need be incurred.

The story has leaked out that some

was taken up by the court, took a

Now that we have an excellent wa-
ter plant in our town, the citizens
should secure an abundant supply of
hose so that in case of fire, we can use
the water. If fire would break out
now we would be at the mercy of the
elements, with plenty of water in the
pipes but no means of using it. This
is an important matter and should re-
ceive action at once.
W. J. Rote offers his house and lot
for sale. That would be a good loca
tion for a voting place. We never had
a suitable place, for this purpose, and
our supervisors should take advautage
of this offer and procure it for the pur-
pose mentioned above. We think it
would meet the approval of the majori-
ty of the voters of the township, if
such action were taken,
