Prior posts have reproduced two earlier Extension catalogs from 1930-31. Below is a third from September 1931 (and the last in possession of yours truly). Extension is still listed as headquartered at 805 South Hill Street in downtown LA, not far from City Hall (shown at left in a 1931 photo). Compared to the earlier catalog, this catalog's cover reports the longest list of locations around the LA/Southern California at which courses were offered. There is a heavy concentration of education courses, probably to allow K-12 teachers to earn credentials. Under Economics are listed various business courses (accounting, marketing, personnel management, advertising, real estate appraisal, etc.) that would likely be listed separately under business or management today. One social work course is also listed under Economics. At the time, social work and personnel work were often linked. Tap dancing is offered under Physical Education.
No PowerPoints at the time, but a course in Interior Decoration promises lantern slides.
