A MODEL ROADSIDE SHORT COURSE

SUBJECTS COVERED AT SHORT COURSES ON ROADSIDE DEVELOPMENT CONDUCTED AT IOWA STATE COLLEGE AND THE OHIO STATE UNIVERSITY ARE REVIEWED. A TWO- OR THREE-DAY PERIOD IS THE USUAL LENGTH OF PROGRAM, DEPENDING UPON THE AVAILABILITY OF EXPERIENCED AND ABLE SPEAKERS.

A LIST OF SUBJECTS WORTHY OF INCLUSION IN SHORT COURSE PROGRAMS IS GIVEN AND THE NEED FOR PROMOTION OF SUCH SCHOOLS IN UNIVERSITIES OF VARIOUS REGIONS OF THE COUNTRY IS EMPHASIZED. /AUTHOR/
