Synopsis
Excerpt from Report of Extension Teaching Division, 1896
These departments have been under one direction, with leaders who act as teachers or lecturers. A traveling library is supplied for each subject and the reading of students is carefully directed. The didactic method is used, papers must be written by each member and discussions, quizzes and reviews make up the regular work. Good results are reported in three of the departments; the courses planned for the history department had to be abandoned because of the illness of the leader. The presi dent of the center, Rev. J. Westby Earnshaw, reports that the value of the courses educationally is already great, with the promise of still more encouraging results as the work becomes better understood.
