Courses are conducted by both the class method and by home study. One-half the work required for a bachelor's degree may be earned by extension.As a means of approach for all the services which are offered by the University for the people of Utah, the division is unparalleled. At all times through various means, including correspondence, conferences, furnishing of printed matter procured from various sources, the preparation of data in a form suited to the use of inquires, and the preparation and printing of information bulletins, those connected with this work gladly respond to any calls for information on any subject. "The Bulletin," which appears at regular intervals is the official organ of the workers.The home reading and library service of this department prepares series of pamphlets, bulletins and clippings from magazines on subjects of current interest and forms these things into package libraries which are distributed at request to any part of the state. The bureau of educational service, one portion of the department, was formed for the convenience of the Utah school officials. Any of the departments of the University are available for such general welfare advisory service as the expert information of their staff enables them to render.The bureau of visual instruction has an important and extensive service in motion picture films, lantern slides, and other visual material. These are loaned to schools, churches, communities, clubs and any other organizations for their use. Any requests for public lectures and contributions t o entertainment programs for any state organization is freely responded to on the part of the division. Definite and entertainment courses, which include on their programs many lecturers and entertaining artists of national and international reputation are arranged each year by the division.Lastly, the extension division has charge of the inter-high school leagues for contests in various activities in which high school students are interested. The high school students are brought in direct touch with the University by means of their efforts. On High School Day for the past year, over thirty-five hundred high school students visited the campus.F. W. ReynoldsJ. M.
