S. 6th edition. 9^57 For Whom Intended. — These courses are prepared for farmers, farm managers, suburban dwellers cultivating the land, prospective settlers, and others desiring specific and detailed information on the production of farm crops and animals and on the conditions of suc- cessful agriculture in California. It is not intended merely to send out reading matter on a certain subject but rather to furnish infor- mation which students will study until they understand it thoroughly, as indicated by the answers to the questions. Through this personal relation with the students it is hoped to make the information in the courses more useful. It is obviously impossible to cover in the lessons fully the local conditions in the different sections of the state with regard to a given industry. However, students are invited to ask questions regarding local or community problems and on any points in the lessons or with regard to the subject studied which are not clear to them. These questions will be answered as helpfully as possible by specialists of the University. By WJiom Prepared. — The courses are prepared by specialists in the faculty of the College of Agriculture with reference to agricultural conditions in California. The methods discussed may readily be adapted to any section of the state. How to Enroll. — Any person desiring to enroll as a student in one of the Correspondence Courses should fill out the application card, which is enclosed in this circular or which will be sent on request. Students may enroll for only one course at a time. After filling out the blank, mail it to the Division of Agricultural Education, Uni- versity OP California, Berkeley, Cal. Expenses. — No charges are made for the agricultural correspond- ence courses and no University credit is given for them. All that the University asks is that the work be taken up in earnestness and that the student pursue it with diligence so that he may receive the greatest benefit from it. After a student has enrolled in one course, he is expeced to complete it before enrolling in another. If the student wishes to change from one course to another, he may do so by paying a fee of one dollar ($1) for each course commenced until the course from which he transferred is completed. In such cases money order or check should be made payable to the Regents of the University OP California, and sent to the Division of Agricultural Education, University of Californlv, Berkeley, Cal., stating the change in reg- istration desired. Sending Out Lessons. — Upon receipt of an application card prop- erly filled out the student wiU be given a file number, which will be LLC used in keeping records of the work. The first two lessons of the course will be sent to the student with questions on each lesson. Preparing and Returnmg Answers. — Each student should care- fully study the first lesson until all points are thoroughly understood. When he is able to answer all of the questions at the end of the lesson, he should lay aside the text and write out the answers in his own words, numbering the answers to correspond with the questions asked. The Division of Agricultural Education is ready at all times to aid students in answering questions not well understood. Answers to questions should be carefully and clearly written out in ink or typed on paper about the size of that on which the lessons are written. As far as possible write only on one side of the paper. Special questions enclosed with the answers should be on a separate sheet of paper. Mail the answers to Lesson 1 and start work on Lesson 2. Correction of Answers. — Lesson 3 will be mailed after receipt of answers to Lesson 1, with corrections of the same. On receipt of answers to questions on Lesson 2, a fourth lesson will be sent, and so on until the end of the course, the student being constantly supplied with a lesson to be studied. Certificate of Completion. — When the student has satisfactorily completed the course, a card so stating will be sent. Special Requests. — In case the student lives at such a distance or under conditions that prevent receiving the lessons as rapidly as needed, more than one lesson will be sent if requested by the student. But in no case will several lessons be sent at one time if the student does not show a willingness to answer promptly. The lessons are sent out in an order that is designed to make the subject matter easily understood. At times, however, students may want certain information before it is reached in the course. In such a case the needed lesson will be advanced if the conditions seem to justify it. References. — No text books are required with any of the courses. Various references are listed in the courses for the benefit of students wishing to read further on a particular subject. The State Librarian and many county and city librarians have signified their desire to assist in promoting the work of the correspondence courses and aiding students in taking the work. Where a book or reference is not found in the local library, it will frequently be possible for the librarian to secure its loan from another library. Free bulletins and circulars of the United States Department of Agriculture and State Agricultural Experiment Stations may be secured by writing to the department or the state concerned. For addresses see page 16. Organization and Classes. — While the courses are intended for individual students, various organizations of adults, as well as of boys' and girls' classes in grammar and high school, may prefer to discuss the courses together. Such study classes are often quite help- ful, but in all cases the students enrolling are held responsible indi- vidually for the completion of the course. Teachers having their students enroll for courses are requested to encourage completion of all work taken up. All members of study groups should understand that the studying and answering of the lessons is an individual re- sponsibility and that the work can be continued separately from any class formed.
