Self-Improvement
Is Course Topic
It’s the day after Christmas
and all through the house are
the remains of Santa’s visit.
You're trying to decide what
must be done first.
The house needs to be put into
shape of course. Perhaps it’s a
good time to put your own out-
look and life into shape along
with the house. Available from
The Pennsylvania State Univer-
sity is a course entitled ‘‘Self-
Improvement—A Common
Sense Approach.”
Guidelines are offered for im-
proving one’s self and home. A
thought-provoking evaluation of
the individual initiates the
course. Consideration is given
to the meaning of a ‘‘full life”
and common sense tips on en-
riching life by knowledge and
experience.
