I. Division of Extension Teaching.

Extension teaching courses are courses of instruction corresponding
closely with courses regularly given in the University by regular members of
the faculty, and are under the administration, supervision and control of the
University, for the benefit of persons unable to attend the regular courses of
instruction and to take up work in residence. Each course represents a
definite amount of study corresponding to an equivalent amount of work
done in residence at the University, and when completed satisfactorily by
persons meeting the entrance requirements of the University, receives the
same degree of credit as if taken in residence.

Extension Teaching classes have been organized as follows, with a total
enrollment to Jan 1, 1925, of approximately 275.

Lectures by members of the faculty of a popular or technical nature or
addresses for commencement or other special occasions will be furnished to
any community which will pay the traveling expenses of the lecturer.

A list of available lecturers, which includes a large proportion of the
members of the faculty, with the subjects of their lectures will be furnished
upon application.

III. Bureau of Debate and Public Discussion.

Through the Virginia High School Literary and Athletic League special
bulletins and handbooks containing information on pertinent questions for
public discussion will be sent free of cost to any individual, school, society,
club or other organization applying for them, and assistance in conducting
this work will be given.

IV. Bureau of Physical Education and High School Athletics.

Through the Athletic Division of the Virginia High School Literary and
Athletic League, athletics of every form have been organized for the purpose
of promoting wholesome training and exercise among the pupils of Virginia
schools and the development of clean amateur sportsmanship.

The University publishes and distributes annually a manual containing
the rules and regulations under which all of these contests are held, and this
bulletin is available to any person applying for it.

V. Bureau of Citizenship Education.

Through the Bureau of Citizenship Education short courses in Citizenship
have been conducted throughout the State and are still available to any
community desiring them. Extension teaching courses in Citizenship and
Virginia Government are also offered.

VI. Bureau of Package Libraries.

The Bureau of Package Libraries was established by the Division of Extension
of the University of Virginia as a supplement to the school, city and
community libraries of the State. A package library differs from an ordinary
library in that its scope is limited to current information and is in no measure
intended to be literary, although many of the articles comprising it may
be of a high literary order.

VII. Bureau of Publication.

For the purpose of disseminating information and carrying the results of
study, research and investigation of its faculty to as many people as possible,
the Bureau will publish ten special bulletins on various subjects each year.
These bulletins will be sent to all persons applying to be placed on the mailing
list.

VIII. Bureau of Home Reading Courses.

The United States Bureau of Education has made the Extension Bureau
of the University a distributing agency for its reading Courses, and all of the
literature sent out by the Bureau of Extension is now distributed through the

295

Extension Bureau. The papers are corrected and graded and certificates
made out by the University. The following courses are now available:

Great Literary Bibles; Great Literature; Course for Parents; Course for
Boys; Course for Girls; 30 Books of Great Fiction; 30 World Heroes; American
Literature; 30 American Heroes; American History; France and Her
History; Heroes of American Democracy; The Call of Blue Waters (Seamanship);
Iron and Steel; Shipbuilding; Machine Shop Work; Foreign Trade;
Dante; Master Builders of Today; Teaching; Twenty Good Books for Parents;
Agriculture and Country Life; How to Know Architecture; Citizenship
and Government; Pathways to Health; Sixty Selected Stories for
Boys and Girls; Poetical Literature for Boys and Girls.

Arrangements have been made with the Virginia State Library for persons
pursuing the home Reading Courses to borrow the necessary books by
paying the cost of carriage each way. Application should be made to Dr. R.
H. McIlwaine, State Librarian, Richmond, Virginia.

IX. Bureau of Short Courses.

It is the purpose of the Extension Division to offer a number of short
courses, which will be lecture conferences lasting from several days to a week,
devoted to the extension study of some particular problem in which any group
of persons may be interested. These short courses are intended primarily
for professional, vocational, or business groups, and will be conducted by
means of lectures and conferences led by special lecturers and instructors
both from within and from outside of the University. Business Men's
short courses, short courses for Teachers on a special subject, short courses
in Citizenship, etc., will be given.
