rs To ugh_Schools Studies Ge Peole Who Didn't Complete School Chance To Learn High school correspondence courses, designed for those who did not get to finish high school, are one of the more important services of the Ex tension division of the University, according to Secretary W. J. Mc Garity. These courses, open to all people, give persons who had to leave school before finishing a chance to earn a state diploma and to add substan tIally to their chance for advancement in their work. Diplomas, however, are not awarded by the correspondence school itself but are given by the high school nearest to the student. Subjects offered by correspondence school cover a full high school course either in college-preparatory or com mercial fields. No limitations are placed on the number of courses that may be taken at one time but the division has found that two is the maximum number which the ordinary student can carry most successfully. The correspondence school has en rolled more than 150 students from all walks of life-soldiers, mill workers, business men, clerks in chain stores and farm workers. Several of the students taking courses are also enrolled in public schools in the state-taking courses to make up back work or to get sub jects which they could not find time for on their regular class schedules. The correspondence school was or ganized in December 1939 as part of the Federal education program. When the Federal authorities dis continued that phase of the program, W. H. Ward, extension division head, kept the school at Carolina because he felt that it supplied a need for the people of the state. The most popular courses are in business and commerce. However, several students have enrolled for Latin and Spanish. Courses are divided into six units for each semester. As soon as a student finishes one unit and sends it in for correction, anutier is sei to him. All courses are based on state adopted textbooks. Mr. McGarity expressed the opinion that this method of learning is con ducive to fairer grading because the teacher does not meet the student, has no opportunity to like or dislike him, and has only his work to go by in marking the pap)ers. Men Students' Rooms To Be Used During Holiday Men students living on the campus received a letter yesterday from act ing Marshal T. E. LaGrone advising them that their rooms may he used during the holidays and that the Uni versity could not he responisible for belongings left in rooms over the holidays. The plan is to use certain of the tenaments for rooming of all studlents who stay on the campus during the holidays. This will make it un necessary to keep all tenements open and will enable cleaning of them to b)e carried out miore easily. The campus of Norwich univer sity is uindergoing a major face-lift ing operation to provide a setting for two new buildings, White miess hall and acivil and electrical engineering laboratory.
