S6329 1.8 continuing education units Marlene Mainker Carole Picard Tom Smith DESCRIPTION A rapid influx of information, changes and social issues is taking place, resulting from demands and legal requirements which have affected women for several years. The underlying premise of this program is that legal information or planning will not result in constructive action on a meaningful scale unless people can openly examine their attitudes and values which direct their behavior. Most of us feel that we are aware and understand the issues facing men and women as a result of women's changing roles in society and the workforce. No matter how complete we think our knowledge is in this area, there is still new information that this program was designed to explore that will enable us to work more effectively as individuals and organizations. Since no one leaves his or her perceptions and assumptions outside of the working environment, it is advantageous to the organization and the individual to gain a solid understanding of attitudes which openly or subtly affect decisions and treatment of women on the job. �This program, for men and women, will ~ experiential, draWing material from statistical studies, professional and popular books and journals, newly released ftbns, and from discussion groups. Program segments will stress the constant process of ohall• and re.assessment required in today's society. OBJECTIVES At the cond.usion of this seminar participants will have become aware and have knowledge of: e e e e e The subtlety of the attitudes toward women and their roles which have caused efforts to effect change Perceptions and concepts of masculinity and feminmitY Socialiution and life planning The gap between educational career gu.idance~ tegting, and the job market The mentor system COURSE LEADERS Marlene Mainker and Carole Picard are the DiJ'... ectors of Womanpower Projects, Inc. They are also consultants to the New Jersey State Di¥ision on Women where they provide research, counse~ and liaison for New Jersey communjty collOges serving minority women. They ar~ also currently analyiing for implementation affirmative action programs for organizations such as Exon, Allied Chem.; ical, New Jersey state agencies and school systems. Tom Smith is with AT & T in their Human Resources division. �QUALIFICATIONS This program is designed for men and women in government organizations. We recommend attendance with a colleague, supervisor, or subordinate of the opposite sex if possible. Class size is limited to 25 participants. SCHEDULE This program will meet for three days from 9:00 a.m. to 4 :30 p.m. in Graduate School facilities at the National Press Building, 529 14th Street, N.W., Washington, D.C.

Most classes begin at 6: 10 p.m., so everyone is home at an early hour. Nothing orn-y About Agriculture's School By Patricia Griffith Courses in photography are among the school's most popular offerings. Here instructor Elridge Purdy focuses light on a subject in a class on portrait photography. Color photography is also taught. THE GRADUATE School of the Department of Agriculture does not, as its name implies, offer courses in advanced milking or corn-growing techniques. I ts curriculum does include almost everything else, however, from automatic data processing to Mandarin Chinese, from medical microbiology to institutional housekeeping. In fact, almost everything about the school is unique. It was started 40 years ago when Congress urged Federal departments and agencies to do everything possible to promote additional training and education for their employes. Since the beginning, the Graduate School has been an independent, self-supporting agency within the Department of Agriculture. The only Government support it receives is in the form of free office and classroom space made available at the Department of Agriculture and over 20 other locations. Student tuition foes-generally $12 per credit hour --pay for staff and faculty salaries, office expenses and classroom equipment, excluding textbooks. Despite its name, it is not a true graduate school. "We do not issue any degrees," explains director John Holden. "About 30 to 40 per cent of our courses �Pioneer Programs Benefit Special daytime program for ·e xecutives on "Critical Issues and Decisions" brought Prof. Hans Morgenthau of the Univ. of Chicago here for lecture, several seminar discussions. r Statistics take on new interest when Nelson P. Guidry, below, points.out a variety of methods to illustrate the subject graphically to his students. ·~ ~ . .s) Many of the Graduate School's classes are taught in rooms scattered around the Washington area. For example, this course in lithography, which requires the use of regular printing equipment, is given at night at Gallaudet College. �Thousands are at the graduate level, another 30 per cent are undergraduate courses and the rest are non-credit." Many universities and colleges do accept Graduate School credits, however, and the Civil Service Commission recognizes them on the same basis as those of other accredited institutions. The Graduate School has pioneered in Washington education. It was the first to hold evening courses for adults. It has introduced courses in hospital administration, cartography, oceanography and statistics-that have been picked up, in part or whole, by local universities. "We render a tremendous service to the universities around here," Holden says: "We attract the hesitant student, the person who wouldn't enroll someplace else, and get him to continue with his education. After he takes one or two courses with us, he often goes on elsewhere ... so we face the constant job of recruiting new students." If success can be measured by numbers, the Graduate School has statistics on its side. Last year's enrollment was over 10,000, representing about 8000 individuals. This year Holden expects to do better. One problem he doesn't face is a shortage of qualified instructors. Out of a faculty of 325, almost 300 are former teachers and college professors who left school for Government employment. · "They still like to teach more than anything," Holden says. "We certainly give them the chance." Deputy Attorney General Byron (Whizzer) White, front desk right, tries to live up to his nickname in a speed reading class offered by the Graduate School of the Department of Agriculture. Instructor is Gerold Willmore.

PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT OF EDUCATIONAL WOBK FOR 1922-23. U. S. Department of_Agriculture ·The lectures will start with the week beginning October 16. !a.ch course will consist of two lectures per week, at 4: 30 P .M., unless otherwise arranged. The tuition will be $25.00 per year per course or $15.00 per term. 0£ the courses outlined and others suggested by the preliminary registration it will probably be possible to offer ten or twelve of those indicated as lliOst desired. Many standard gra~uate ; institutions have indicated their readiness to grant credits for these courses and four students have alrea~y used these credits for advanced degrees. --GENEBAL COURSES~- The course in Elementary Statistics will be a beginner's course very similar to that ~ffered last year. The course in Statistical Work will continue the work for those students who had the elementary course last year or others similarly ~ualified. The Elemen~ary Agricultural Economics followed by work in Marketing and Distribution is primarily intended for those who have not had adequate colleg~ · training in these subjects. Dr. Taylor needs no intro~uction to Department workers. Mr. Schoenfeld comes to us fresh from Harvard. and Mr. Tanny's training and long experience are well known. The "Elementary Work in Writing" followed by the "Technical Agricultural Writing" by Mr. Ma.rciuis should be valuable courses to the many of the Department workers who wish to improve their ability of expression and master the technique of agricultural journalism. Mr. Marquis was formerly connected with the journa.list~c work in the University of Wisconsin an~ has had long experience in editorial work with the Country Gen~leman. Miss Ellen Hedrick, who will give a course in Library Science, comes to the Department from the teaching field and. will no doubt offer very valuable work to those wishing to become familiar with Library Science or to Department workers who wish to increase their ability to efficiently use the literature of their subjects. Dr. Hitchcock was forrrBrly Professor of Botany at the Kansas Agricultural College and is a botanist of international reputation. He will give a broad fundamental course in the principles and practices of Taxonomic £otany. --ADVANCED COURSES-Dr. W. A. Pa.trick of Johns Hopkins University has already promised to give course in Physical Chemistry of the Colloids, and the Department is especially fortunate in obtaining Dr. Patrick's services. This is expected to be one of the outstanding courses of the year and should inte~est scientific workers in many lines. us a Major Hitchins has promised to give us a broad course in Infection and Immunity. Dr. Hi tchins has had long experience in teaching in the Army Medical School and is recognized. as an authority on these problems. The fundamental problems discussed should interest workers in all lines of bi9logical science, The intricate relations involved and the methods of their differentiation should give extremely helpful suggestions to be applied to the solution of widely different problems. �- 2 The course in Plant :B:reedirig is expected to supr>lement the work i.n Genetics of last yea.r, to be folJ.owed by a r..ou.rse L:·1 iu~~maJ. ?:re:~n.'i.:1g the foLLcwi..ng ~r~ar. Dr Le5.ghty has been sugger.t:ed. a.s the leao.er. in th;i.3 'lvo:i:k and otl.J.er specialists will assist in ; their respective fields. The course in Advi.=mced Economic Theory foUcwed by the course in Land. Economics are intended for a,d.van8ed r:;ro:,clua:r.0 ;;t 11::1.81~. ts of ccor..omj.c science. The corps of instructors suggested i!J.E.u.res the high standing ani vo.lue of tl::.ese courses. Dr. Ely will be in WashL1gton the set;ond. half of 'i;lie year and will no doubt ma. terially contribute to the success of these cou~ses. Dr. Humphreys' course on "Physics of the Air 11 needs no com:nendation. Dr. Humphreys' bcok is the outstanding text on the subject and the Doctor brings every added factor of experience to its consideration. There is hardly a line of scientific activity in the Department in which broad and fundamental cout'ses, such as the above, as well as cont.act with authorities in special lines, would not be extremely helpful and highly acceptable in any graduate institution.

WALLACE. - �THE DEP.ARTMENT OF AGRICULTUP.E :proroses to establish this fall (1921) an-unofficial system of advan:::ed instruction in those scien- tific and technical subjects related to the work of the Department, in which ad.eq:u.ate instruction is not otherwise available in Washington. 1. Object. -- The purpose is to enlarge and improve the service rendered by the Department by affording an opportunity to those who wish to fit themselves for greater usefulness through better training and increased knowledge. 2. It is proposed that there be two more Kinds of Courses. or less distinct kinds of work offered: Lect~re (a) and drill courses on what is known of certain fundamental subjects in which the personnel ,_ of two or more Eureaus may be interested; (b) . intensive graduate training in special topics. 3. A:ny one in the service of the Depart- Who is eli[ible. ment is eligible to take these courses, provided he is adequately prepared to do so. The wlll all be of the highest University course~ grade, hence none but advanced and serious students will be admitted to them. · 4. Recognition. -- ~t is expected that successful completion of any of these courses will be recognized for oo.equate credit in some of our better educational institutions. both for undergraduate and for postgraduate degrees. 5. Number of course.2_a studept may take. -- While several courses will be offered, it is th?ught that one graduate course a ·year generally will be sufficient. Each case, howe_ er, will be considered v . �- 2 - on its ovvn merits. 6. Hours. -- The time of lecture instruction will be immediately after office hours. 7. Place . -- To be announced later. 8. Cosi. -- On the assumption that a cl~ss VVill number fif- teen or more, the tuitibn will be $25.00 per year (30 weeks with two lectures each week), or $15.00 per half year. Where the students are too few to meet the cost of a special lecturer, they may, in many cases, with the approval of the Educational Comnittee, and vvorking through a local or other institution, have the council and guidance of some of the abler scholars of the Department. In this case the cost will have to be fixed by the institution in question. �- 3 ,.
