CORRESPONDENCE STUDY

For the needs of those who are unable to adjust themselves to the for-
mal system of education, special forms of consecutive home-study courses
have been developed by the Department of Extension Teaching. This de-
partment offers individual instruction adapted to the special needs of stu-
dents who cannot come into residence study at the University. The instruc-
tion given may be undertaken in the leisure hours of each student at his
own home.

PLAN AND SCOPE

The University of Wisconsin provides, through the Department of Ex-
tension Teaching, non-resident or home-study instruction by correspondence,
as follows:

1. Certain regular university studies which may, under approved con-
ditions, be taken for credit toward a degree.

2. Advanced courses designed to help persons—graduates and others—
in professional or practical life to keep in touch with the advancement in
science and in other fields of knowledge.

3. High-school and preparatory studies for those to whom the conven-
tional institutions are not available or practicable.

4, Elementary and grammar school studies for those who require such
instruction for practical purposes.

5. Vocational courses prepared with reference to the needs and re-
quirements of given occupations.

6. Guided study outlines for program material to aid various organiza-
tions in their associated or club or group study and discussion work.

GENERAL BENEFITS

Persons who are benefited by correspondence study may be divided into
two main classes: (1) those who have the taste, ability, and inclination to
continue their education, whether general or vocational; (2) wage-earners
who cannot leave their employment in order to acquire training directed
toward greater proficiency and skill.

The first class may be roughly divided into (1) those who wish to keep
abreast of the advances in knowledge related to their profession or busi-
ness, or who wish to study purely for purposes of general culture and the
enjoyment of the intellectual pleasures that accompany the sense of mastery
