230 GARDENING FOR WOMEN 



Nature-Studij Special Course. — This course, of two years, 

 is open to teachers, or to such students in regular University 

 courses as signify their intention to teach, who desire to 

 prepare themselves in nature-study and country-life sub- 

 jects. In this course the work is largely prescribed. The 

 course comprises two categories of work : the subject- 

 matter studies, and the pedagogical practice. The subject- 

 matter is secured in the regular classes of the University, 

 largely in the biological departments. The pedagogical 

 practice is to be had with children in regular nature-study 

 classes and clubs in the public schools of Ithaca and in 

 school-garden work with children. 



EXTENSION WORK 



The extension work of the College of Agriculture is 

 designed to help persons directly on their farms, and to 

 aid those who desire definite instruction but cannot take 

 a long or regular course in agriculture in the University. 

 It supplements the teaching and experimenting of the 

 College of Agriculture. It is professedly a popular work. 

 It endeavours to reach the common problems of the people, 

 to quicken the agricultural occupations, and to inspire a 

 greater interest in country life. It is also a bureau of 

 publicity, whereby there is an exchange of all important 

 matters connected with the progress of the agriculture of 

 the State.
