UNIVERSITY EXTENSION IN AMERICA

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION IN AMERICA
The earliest attempt in America to ex-
tend higher education beyond the univer
stiles and colleges to those who could net
give their whole time to such training Was
In 1903, when Professor Benz Silli-
man of Yale gave q course in popular
science in New Haven. The work 10 Amer
lea differed from that in England in devel-
oping the lyceum lecture system fer popu-
lar instruction, though in 1881 working
mems college was established in New Ha-
ven, much on the modern extension lee
ture plan. Later the lyceum broadened
into teachers institutes, summer schools
and, most important of all, the Chatauqus
system of home etudy. The fret def
mite attempt to introduce the plan
in this country was, however, not until
1887. At a meeting of the American Ii
brary association Professor b. B. Adams
it was at once put in practice in connection
with the library of Buffalo, N. Y. In Jan
uary, 1888, the subject was presented to
the regents of the University of the State
of New York, and in July of the same year
to the university convocation. In May,
1891, the New York legislature sppropria-
ted $40, 900 for organizing a state depart
ment of university extension. In 1890 q
society was formed in Philadelphia, and
the great success of It's work and the desire
for unity in efforts and methods led, in the
winter Of 1890 81, to the organization of
the Philaaelphia society for the ex-
tension of university teaching. An
advisory committee of college presidents
and other educstionists was appointed and
an official organ, University Extension,
was established. In New England the
work Of Brown university is conspicuous,
distinct department. of that institution
being created in 1891, with Professor
Munro as director. In Connecticut, work
is conducted in aARliation with the Ameri-
can society. Professor A. S. Cook of Yale
ia president of the Connecticut associa-
ton. Other Yale men than those already
mentioned, who are prominently connected
with the movement, are DR.. William T.
Harris $50, United States Commissioner of
Education, and Colonel William Preston
Johnston '52. president of Tulane uni
versity, New Orleans.

HOW POI is MADE.
Peculiar Dish or the Hawaiians Made
from a Species of Iurnfp.


from Species of Turnip.
Poi is dish that must long remain
peculiar to the Hawaiian islands-al-
ways, in fact, unless some means is
contrived for preserving taro 50 that it
will stand export. Poi il made from
taro a root resembling the turnip, says
the San Francisco Call. 1t grows in
the water, with large, handsome
green leaf, and is almost tasteless
There is also an upland taro cultivated
in the mountains by the natives which
has a more decided taste. and which.
as learned to my cost on tasting it
raw, bites the throat like horse-radish.
The low taro is the chief vegetable in
the island, and in early days consti
tuted the natives principal crop.
When cooked il assumes mottled
gray and white appearance, very like
the lava rock that abOunds everywhere
in the islands. The process of manu-
featuring the poi is quite a lengthy
one. A great hole is dug in the ground,
and into this the taro roots are placed
around piles of hot stones. The earth
is then heaped over the place and the
taro left to steam When the taro is
thoroughly cooked, which is often sew
eral hours, the roots are dug out again,
peeled and put into huge stone rscep-
tacle, in which they are pounded to a
pulp. This work is performed by tine
men. II is an arduous task. and on a
hot day land nearly all days are not IA
the islands, the pounding of poi is
scene over which it Is advisable TO
draw a veil. The poi FOUNDER not only
earns his bread by the sweat of MS
brow but mixes it as well largely by
the aid of that fluid.
