Union College School of Correspondence
Thousands of busy, progressive people are to-day taking studies by correspondence, and are thus preparing themselves for greater usefulness. As a people to whom the Lord has committed a most solemn work, we should seek in every way possible more thoroughly to prepare ourselves for that work; for its importance demands our very best efforts. While all can not avail themselves of the benefits of our training-schools, many can pursue courses of study by correspondence. Union College is thus beginning to extend its influence by offering six subjects; namely, New Testament history, conducted by Prof. M. E. Kern; New Testament Greek, conducted by Prof. A. Kunze; English grammar (two courses), conducted by Miss Winnifred Peebles; German rhetoric, conducted by Prof. A. Kunze; art, conducted by Miss Elsa Northrup. The New Testament history is a thorough study of the Life of Christ and Acts of the Apostles, using the same printed lessons as are used in the college. In the New Testament Greek a knowledge of the Greek is obtained by the inductive method through the study of the New Testament, beginning with the epistle of John. Of the two courses in English grammar, one is for the ordinary student who wishes to master the grammar, the other is adapted especially to the needs of teachers, being a thorough review and the study of methods in all grades. The German rhetoric is offered to all who are far enough advanced in the language to take rhetoric. The art work is entirely individual work, and will be of special value to church- and Sabbath-school teachers, or any one wishing to draw or paint from nature in water-colors. Each course, except the teachers’ course in grammar, covers the work done in Union College in one school year; fifteen months is the limit in which the work may be finished by correspondence. The teachers’ course in grammar covers a half year’s work, and seven months is allowed for its completion. Certificates are granted to those who finish the work, and credit on the regular college books is given when the students pass a satisfactory examination at the college. Tuition for the teachers’ course in English grammar, $5; all others, $10. For further information, or for remittances, address the one who conducts the course in which you are interested. The address in each case is College View, Neb.
