l I t Senlegi jowaw fducatvm The Efficient Workers of the Extension Service l-lart Extension Ser ice The Extension Division is actually in closer contact and renders greater service to the graduates who are already in the educational field than those who are in school at the present time. ln the first capacity, it gives per- sonal attention to teachers and administrators on matters pertaining to education. This per- sonal aid is supplemented by mimeographed material and pamphlets dealing with a Wide range of subjects which may be obtained by request. For present enrollees this department gives correspondence courses to those students who are not able to take residence Work. The first Extension service of the lowa State Teachers College was organized in l9l3-l4 in the form of Saturday Study Centers. The next development, which was offered in l9l6-l7, was Schools Service, originally called Consultative Service. This type of ser- vice is a distinct contribution of the lowa State Teachers College to extension education. lt involves the sending of expert teachers into the public schools of the state to observe class- room procedure and to render assistance to the teachers in the solution of their school prob- lems. Beginning with the assignment of a limited number of members of the resident faculty to this type of service, it has expanded until for the past few years it has occupied the entire time of six or seven members of the permanent extension staff.
