University Extension.

The University Extension course OF
lectures is plan by which some of the
advantages OF a university course may be
enjoyed by people who cannot have uni
versity privileges. The lectures are, how
ever, of popular character and combine
instruction with entertainment. In the
course here this winter Prof. Moulton
talks on "Stories as mode of thinking"
just the kind of talks that will be of great
benefit to the three or four hundred
young people of the city who are forming
taste for literature. To enjoy reading
thoroughly one must be able to read in
diligently, and the boy or girl who sees
beyond the mere plot of the story, and
reads in sympathy with the authors
object is the one who gets the most out
of reading.
This is the field in which Prof. Moul-
ton excels all others, in exciting a new
interest in good literature. His first
lecture is on "Faust- Thinkings About
the Loss of the Soul"
Parents will do well to interest their
children in rhese lectures. The price of
tickets, $1.00, admitting two members of
a family, has been made this year, so
that fathers and mothers may bring their
children with them.
