1770 The Cornell Reading-Courses 



least one week in advance, so that the members may be prepared for 

 a general discussion, which should follow the opening talk given by the 

 leader. 



Cornell study clubs may bring about cooperation in matters of public 

 concern, and may grow to be influential factors in promoting community 

 welfare. They may also prove of financial benefit by becoming agencies 

 for cooperative buying and selling. The success of the Cornell study clulj 

 must depend principally upon local leadership. It is hoped that public- 

 spirited iDcrsons will find in the Cornell study clubs a means of improving 

 the agricultural and social conditions in their communities. Visits from 

 representatives of the college will be arranged when possible. Cordial 

 cooperation in establishing study clubs may be obtained by writing to 

 the Supervisor, Reading-Course for the Farm, or the Supervisor, 

 Reading-Course for the Fann Home, College of Agriculture, Ithaca, 

 New York. 



Whenever desired, study clubs may be conducted in connection with 

 the educational work of granges, chtirches, schools, and local agricultural 

 societies. The following three ways are suggested in which Reading- 

 Course lessons may prove valuable to a study club or to any other organi- 

 zation : 



1. For study by the entire membership previous to a general discussion 

 at a regular meeting. 



2. To aid leaders in preparing for a program at a regular meeting. 



3. For reference. A set of available lessons may be obtained for use 

 by a study club or for the library of any church, school, grange, or 

 other organizations. 



Bulletins and circulars of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment 

 Station may also be obtained for the above purpose by writing to the Mailing 

 Division, College of Agriculture, Ithaca, New York.
