CORRESPONDENCE-STUDY COURSE IN INORGANIC PREPARATIONS We have recently made available for correspondence-study a course in Inorganic Preparations. This course has been of interest to science teachers in Wisconsin schools, and it occurs to us that such home-study possibilities may be of interest to science teachers and others elsewhere who may wish to use the home-study method of keeping abreast with reference to the scientific developments with which university faculties are in intimate touch. Increasingly, professional men and women find that a properly organized correspondence-study course provides a procedure by which one may keep effectively abreast with reference to contemporary advancement in certain specific areas for which university men have particular responsibility. A correspondence-study course as we conceive it and develop it, while formulated on a systematically organized plan, possesses flexibility that makes it adjustable to individual needs and requirements to a considerable degree, and thus provides considerable time-saving assistance to those who have the basic groundings. This course as organized and conducted by Professor G. G. Town, Chairman of the Department of Chemistry in the University Extension Division, affords the teacher of science stimulation and suggestion, material and methods for the improvement of his own courses.
