The jiicturcs on this jiagc are inter¬ 
esting because they show something of 
a new iiroblem which is being worked 
(lilt with farm boys. Mo.st of the States 
have organized trijis for certain boys 
and girls who do jiarticularly well at 
raising corn or some other farm work. 
I-'or e.xample, companies of Ohio boys 
have come to New York and traveled 
through the country at the State’s ex¬ 
pense. They all had a good time and 
saw much of life. Maryland has adopted 
something of a new plan. Two boys 
from each county in Maryland were 
made the personal guests of the Mary- 
The Value of Correspondence Courses 
The recent instances that have ap¬ 
peared in Tiik K. N.-Y. in regard to the 
dissatisfaction arising from courses in 
the various correspondence schools have 
camsed me to wonder whether people 
generally ajipreciate the number and va¬ 
riety of the Courses offered through cor¬ 
respondence instruction by the various 
State colleges and universities. If young 
people more generally understood that at 
many of the State institutions they may 
obtain correspondence instruction in 
nearly all the subjects offered by the pri-

bind people. Our Correspondent, Iteubcn 
Ilrighiim. took them on what he calls a 
Home State Tour, There were dO of 
tlies<‘ boys, and the trip was blocked out 
beforehand and thoroughly arranged. A 
limp of the State wtis designed with 
black lines, .showing where the boys were 
to go, jind they certtiinly covered the 
Stiite thoroughly. They inspected farms, 
went into ftictorie.s, looked over grain 
elevators and markets, and were enter¬ 
tained in almost every sensible way. 
'I'liey end(‘d up with a reception given 
iliem by the Governor of Maryland, at 
.Vnnap<dis, and another good one at the 
Maryland Exhibition in Baltimore. Mr, 
Brigham took good care that these boys 
were not sjioiled by this trip. They just 
simply had a good, healthy time; saw 
their own State, and let the people .see 
what Maryland can produce in the way 
vale correspondence school, I believe 
many students would recognize the fact 
that the State schools offer the assur¬ 
ance of a fair deal, greater prestige, and 
generally a cheaper rate of tuition. 
There are to my knowledge 11 State 
agricultural colleges and 12 universities 
that give correspondence instruction. 
These .schools are located in all parts of 
the country; from Maine to Oregon, from 
North Dakota to Texas. A few admit 
only residents of the State in which they 
are located; but many offer courses to 
anyone. The field of instruction is 
broad enough to meet nearly all condi- 
tioms. There are practical courses, high 
school courses and courses carrying uni¬ 
versity credit. The subjects range from 
blacksmithing, engineering and agricul¬ 
ture to foreign languages, salesmansliii) 
and municipal welfare. The cost ranges

"1 :i buy crop. It took the best jiiirt or 
10 months to get ready for tliLs trip, and 
tlien a.s Brigham .says, two wei'ks with 
the best-bohavod bunch of boys and the 
brightest, too, that he ever saw. The.se 
boys certainly did wake up the .State. 
The faianers and others who took them 
into their homes and befriended them, 
will always remember their visit, and 
probably no greater advertisement of the 
value of farm extension work could ever 
have been put before the State of Mary¬ 
land. The pictures show that these boy.s 
'vere just like other heallhy young fel¬ 
lows. One picture .shows them giving 
their Corn Club yell in a barnyard of 
Wasliiiigtou County. We have always 
claimed that the yells and the songs 
should not be confined entirely to the 
colleges or similar institutioms. It is a 
great thing to show boys that they can 
yell and slug for farming, the same a.s 
they could for a college. The other pic¬ 
ture shows a grouj) of the boys for .a 
from free <-ours(>s to tho.se with a fee of 
over one liundrod dollars a j'car. 
The advisability of attmupting corres- 
poiidence study depends upon the individ¬ 
ual and the conditions under which he 
must work. For many a corresjioiid- 
once course is a waste of time and 
money; to others it is an opportunity. 
For the past three years I have been do¬ 
ing correspondence work with a well- 
known State university and I find the 
work highly satisfactory. To the indi¬ 
vidual of a studious nature who has short 
working hours and sea.sonable employ¬ 
ment the work is likely to prove lu-ofit- 
able. To others correspondence study 
is likely to prove unsatisfactory. The 
prospective .student should make up his 
mind to work unfalteringly toward a 
definite aim, and .should realize that his 
progress will be slow in comparison with 
resident students—for they spend their 
entire day at study. c. maloxey.
