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.
