"Education in the Twenty First Century" was the theme of this first Annual Meeting of the European Home Study Council (EHSC), which was preceded by a congress on October 28, 1968. This theme reflects the thoughts of the EHSC as to the future direction of home study if increasing demands for education are to be met. The speeches are preceded by "An Introduction to the History, Objects and Services of the European Home Study Council Education by Correspondence in Europe," by Executive Director of EHSC Einar Rorstadt.

Eurich; "The Educational Situation in the United States of America--The Role of Home Study," by Dr. David A.
