s. s . SH EXTENSION DIVISION Offering 197 correspondence courses to students from nine states, along with its special war courses, visual aid program, loan service for plays, debate material, the office of the Extension of the University is one of the busiest on the campus. An added feature of the department has been the sponsoring of the elementary correspondence work for handicapped children. The division has so arranged its courses that a pupil may learn a large degree of training in a vocation that will help prepare him for an occupation in his own community. All correspondence courses are set up and lessons corrected by members of the regu- lar U staff. Head of the Division is S. S. Shaw, replacing A. E. Mead, called to active duty in the armed forces during the school year. Eighteen

GRADUATE SCHOOL Only Graduate School in the state is one of the latest additions to the University, organized in 1929. Two types of graduate work are offered in 27 fields: intensive study in teaching special- ties to meet the needs of the educational system of the state for teachers trained beyond under- graduate courses, and general training solely for administrative work. Most graduate students are teachers and superintendents who spend their time at the summer session, go back to their jobs in the fall. The members of the School who attend the year around attend mostly senior division courses, conduct investigation and research on special problems in their own special fields, spend a large share of their time in writing their comprehensive theses, required for all graduate degrees. Head of the school is Dean Herbert S. Schell, professor of history, contributor to historical journals, author of a book on the history of South Dakota. DEAN HERBERT S. SCHELL Seventeen
