Says the London Globe: In commenting
upon the American ambassadors statement
that during the whole course OF his resi-

q fact which clearly may account for a

University Extension I'm Indianapolis.
To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
The people of Indiana and of Indian
apolis, in particular, have been acquainted
for a considerable time with the idea and
purpose of university extension work. We
have been a pioneer State and city in this
work, the Association OF Collegiate Alum
nae taking the initiative in organizing an
extension center, the first Of the kind west
OF the Aleghenies. 1t is more than twenty
years since Cambridge University, in Eng
land, undertook to carry the spirit and
teaching of the university to the very
doors of people who were debarred from
the privileges of university education or
who were too far along in life and too
much under the stress of toll to make it
possible for them to ever enter the doors
OF Cambridge or Oxford. But Cambridge
and Oxford came to the doors of the
Cornish miners, TO the Yorkshire peasants
and the latent hunger OF the people for
knowledge and culture was proved by the
phenomenal success from the start Of the
English university extension courses. The
growth OF the movement has been constant
and there are now in England more than
forty thousand extension students.
The work has not had so rapid a growth
IN America nor so wide a scope, but it
tending in scope as its purpose becomes
better known. The courses already held in
Indianapolis have been largely attended,
the students have been enthusiastic and
the lecturers have spoken in high terms
OF the work done. Professor jerks, Ross,
WOODBURY. and Moulton have given
direction OF the collegiate alumnae and
courses OF q similar character under the
direction OF Plymouth Institute have been
given by DR.. Dewey and President Coulter.
AS a result OF these lectures several are
now pursuing regular college courses who
perhaps. would not otherwise have done so.
But the main mission of the work has been
not the time, the leisure. the opportunity
TO go to college,; to those who are already
surrounded by families which they must
support or who are under the necessity
of supporting themselves. 1t is an oppor-
tunity for getting a little OF the large cult
ure. inspiration and knowledge which have
been supposed to haunt college halls. 1t
q supplement, and 1t certainly makes posi-
bic that basis of general enlightenment and
culture which alone give worth. recogni-
ton and support to the training OF the
special student and which also gives the
best guarantee for the permanence of re-
publican institutions.
The friends of college extension in this
city believe that the time has come to
make IL still more widespread and efficient.
and a public meeting of which due notice
viii be given, will shortly be held for the
purpose OF planning a general and effec-
tive university extension center In this
city. Every friend of education should
make an effort to attend this meeting. An
address will be delivered by Professor
full and free discussion OF plans will follow.

While he is in a mildly complaining mood,
Inc Listener may perhaps record a general
doubt whether the telephone has really ever
saved any net amount of mems time, and a
personal wish that his friends will not ring
him up on the instrument. Perhaps to-day
one may save himself half a days journey
by the use or the telephone; and perhaps
tomorrow some one wastes half an hour OF
his time by calling him needleSsly over the
instrument, and next day somebody wastes
another half hour. and so on until the saved
