mm “HIGH" LIFE, XOVE.AIBER 2^, 1921 Page Five EXTENSION WORK BEING DONE BY CITY TEACHERS Many of the Greensboro teachers are taking advantage of the -work offered through the Extension Department of the Nortli Carolina College for Women. The Iligh School teachers, -who are taking the extension work, have enrolled in Introduc tion to Sociology taught by Mr. Linder- man or History taught by ]\Ir. Jackson. The classes meet once a week in the High School building. The work after three or four weeks’ progress proves that such work is worth while; and the teachers of Greens boro will have reason to thank the ones who made the extension work possible. The work done by the teachers in these courses will raise certificates, and count toward a degree from the college. FOLK DANCING CLASS Twenty-five girls meet every Monday afternoon in the G. C. AV. .gymnasium to take Polk dancing under the direction of Miss Inabelle Coleman, These dancing courses are open to any girl ill school.

Miss Coleman reports that she is delighted with the progress made thus far.
