ermen have had no trouble in filling their
baskets, and many of them caught more
than they knew what to do with.

the upper coast and some extra large
scores have been made. At Beach Haven

The University Association and
Worlds Congress Extsnsfou.

Probably some of our readers have
heard of the great work that is being
done in the Advancement of universal ed
ucation by the University Association
and Worlds Congress Extension.
| For the benefit of those who may not
have heard of this institution, we take
pleasure in outlining in brief, the plans
and objects OF the association, and the
benefits to be derived from membership.
E. M. Gibby ia now in Mount Holly for
the purpose of establishing branch.
The University Association is the con-
Meeting link between the people. the high
school and the university. 1t Is an incor-
porated institution, organized by leading
educators for the purpose Of bringing col
iege methods of teaching and training di-
rect to the home circle, and to supply the
best possible substitute for the college
course itself. Also to supply want long
felt by literary clubs already established
and doing literary work.
Among the promoters at the head Of
this institution are many of the most
prominent educators in the world.
The instruction will be given by follow
ing & correspondence plan. Those who
desire to accept the benefits will be sup
piled with a monthly syllabus, which
contains the lessons for the month. The
test of same represents the lecture by one
of the Professors, such as one would be
favored with if attending some college.
The foot-notes cover the ground Of neces-
sary references. so In reality the student
is not only given the advantage Of a
course Of lectures, but the college library
is called into requisitlon, and the exact
passages necessary for a complete under
standing and knowledge of the subject
are given, thus obviatinR the necessity Of
purchasing text books, or looking up ref
erences from library.
The University Association is not con-
nected with any one university, but is
rather federation of the teaching pow
ers of the principal universities and col
leges of the world.
The first course will be that of Univer-
sal History, which will be under the di-
rection of twelve Professors OF History,
who are at present connected with some
OF the leading universities of America.
To each Professor is assigned a period Of
history, for a thorough knowledge of
which he has become widely known.
The second years course will be Univer-
sal Literature, which will be under the di-
reotion of the leading teachers of ltera-
ture of the world. Other courses will
follow in order, such as Astronomy, Civ
les, Political Economy. Geology, etc The
time required to pursue the course Of
study, and the entire expenses, are such
that, it may be said. higher education is
now within the reach of everyone who
desires it.
The plan is for members to do the read
ing at their homes, and to meet in class
once a week for a general review. Each
class will have full corps of officers and
local instructor.

ton to be held at Mount Holly on Satur
day to revise the party rules. A repre-
sentative delegation should be present
from this city. in fact the best men should
be selected all over the county, as the
future of the party is involved in tbs
work to be done.

the Board of School Trustees who failec
to attend hoping to prevent a quorum
being present may regret their action
