Free Course of Study by Correspon dence. To meet the needs of large num bers of people both old and young who live in remote sections of the country or in places where the schools are not advanced, the Uni versity of Oregon has made arrange ments to conduct a four year s course of study by correspondence. The plan is to make this course en tirely free, except a small charge which will cover the actual ex penses. This charge will be in the form of a small sum for each lesson sent out. It will not exceed what is actually paid out for postage and clerical work in conducting the course. Students will be expected to order their text-books either through local dealers or from Port land book stores. It is hoped that large numbers of people will avail themselves of this opportunity to do this kiny of work under compe tent guidance. It is also hoped to interest the press of the state in the undertaking so that it may be come widely known. The course will be divided into five departments of study English literature, Latin, history and civics; mathematics and science. Four years of work have been planned in each of these de partments. Any person may take up one or all the departments, as he chooses. The course will be conducted as And now the Mitchell organ at Salem has the names of Carter and Lake on its list of holdups.

Directions will be sent to him at once for procuring text books and instructions concerning the details of the course. Vuestions will be mailed to stu dents covering definite portions of of the textbooks from time to time as they are needed. These should hi carefully answered and the an swers mailed to the Extension De partment of the University. They will be corrected and returned, to gether with a new set of questions. This is, in brief, the scheme of the course. The university has been carrying on this work in a limited way for two years, but it is now hoped to make it much more ex , tensive and more generally useful to the people of the state. The ex perience of the past, however, places the extension department in a posi tion to manage the practical details of the course accurately and prompt ly. The only charge which will be made will be for the lists of ques tions and for marking the answers which are sent in. It is thought that this can be reduced to ten cents for each set of questions . and ten cents for examining each set of an swers. This small fee will proba bly cover the actual expenses of the course and nothing further is desir ed by the department. It is to lie noted that this course is open to all persons who desire to engage in study. It will cover the ground of the usual good high school course, and the questions and suggestions which will be sent out may often be used with profit in re views and examinations in city high schools. No person should feel that a course of this kind is a complete substitute for a good school, but if the school is not avail able for any reason, then much ad vancement in sound learning may be made by taking a correspondence course. Full outlines of the course will be sent free upon application. C. II. Chapman. parra lire ana energy to every nerve, organ and tissue of the body.
