Summer School, Extension, Correspondence, and Other
Educational Services

For the past eighteen years the Summer School has playéd
a very significant part in the in-service training of our Christian 4
day school teachers, both men and women. Especially during the #
war it also served well in the acceleration of our teacher-training
program for regular students, in the training of pre-theological 4
students for a year or more of teaching in the parish schools, and !
in the preparation of large numbers of emergency teachers of ;
various types. During the past triennium it has continued these #
activities as needed and has added workshops in Arts and Crafts, 3
Visual Aids, Elementary Education in the One-Room School, §
Secondary Education, Adult Education, etc. The Summer School}
operates under a separate Dean, but is integrated with the regular '
program of the college, and its courses carry the same credit. :
The resident enrollment of the Summer School during the trien-
nium has been as follows: i

The pattern of many years of operating extension centers and
giving correspondence courses was continued during the past,
triennium, with total annual enrollments of 233 in 1947—48, 243 in:
1948—49, and 258 in 1949—50. Thus the total number of students}
of all kinds served by Summer School, Extension, and Corre-!
spondence offerings in the past three years has been 583, 546, and
669 respectively. §

The college has been privileged to aid in the development of
an Adult Education Institute, conducted by the Northern Illinoif
District, with an enrollment of 182 in its first session in the fall of
1949, and a similar one planned for this spring. We have alsé
permitted the use of our buildings and facilities by various Distric,
and synodical boards and committees for workshops and otheé!
group meetings. Thus Concordia Teachers College seeks to devott
its resources and teaching personnel to all possible phases of hé
Church’s educational program. +
