The R. publican Has Arranged for an Attractive Series of StIf.InSfruClion Courses
 in Current Affairs.

There have been many efforts al | university extension and th.a bringing | If popular education within the reacf i of all, but every effort so far has in- volved upon the part of persons avail ing themselves of the work, scme ] financial outlay for books and texts in order to keep up with the courses
 No one can reasonably expect any
 university extension plan Of education
 10 supply the necessary texts free of
 charge; moreover, most persons who are enough interested in educationaI
 matters to diligently follow any given
 anurse, are willing to make a reason
 ble outlay for texts, and if need be.
 for personal assistance and guidance oy l-correspondence instruction.
 The Republican however has been
 able to arrange for the publication Of ] series of self-culture courses which gre written and prepared under the editorial direction of Dr. E. Beniamin Andrews. formerly president of Brown university, Providence, R. l., by q ;taff of the strongest educ ators in this country.
 In this series soon to begin. the laily Republican is the cnly text re- 1uiTed; all the matter which our home study pupils will be required to read will appear from day to day in he columns of the paper and no one will be at any expense whatever Moreover all readers are invited to write to the editor of the self-culture department of The Republican and lsk for help CT assistance of for fur

 One of the series which we will socn give to our readers is written by Henry Wade Rogers, IL. D., president Of the Northwestern university.

 One of the uppermost questions to- i lay is what our international rela | ions arc and have been during 1899. thoughtful persons will welcome from 1
