A Third of q Century of University
Extension.

Professor FREDERICK II. SYKES, direc-
tor Of the extension teaching depart
ment in Columbia University, describes
in the Columbia University Quarterly the
development and present status Of the
supplementary educational work Of
universities.
1t was by Cambridge University, and
in 1878, that this work was first effectively
organized. It IL now q recognized and
approved factor in the working OF the
modern university in Great Britain, con-
tinental Europe and the United States.
Cambridge in 1OOs-O4 gave OIL courses
to II. 913 nonresident students. Oxford
In the same year enrolled 81, 665 students
In 173 extension courses, and Columbia
had 1,46O extension students. In the
academic year ended June, 1905, 25,Se7
students took courses offered by the
American Society for the Extension Of
University Teaching; Columbia had 6,233
in 40 courses, and the University Of Chi
cago in PIP courses met the needs of no
fewer than A, 903 outside students.
1t is hoped to place the extension de-
partment on a footing Of equality with
the regular university courses. Here
as in regular university work students
fees are, however, wholly inadequate
to the support of the system-they
amounted last year at Columbia to only
$50, 900, or less than SIS for each student
enrolled-and permanent endowment is
needed.
To show the extent Of the field for
this work, these figures are cited: With
1e, 5l1, o24 pupils in tho United States
receiving elementary education in 1902
only 776, 635 went On to a secondary edu-
cation and only PSI ,s19 proceeded to the
higher education in the colleges, tech
meal schools, &c. For sixty-ive persons
who get an elementary education there
are only three in the secondary schools
and one in the higher institutions of
learning.
This immense disparity is not due to
the incapacity Of the sixty-fve and the
capacity Of the one, but to the stern
necessity which compels the mass Of
people to become self-supporting" early
in life. 1t is a condition of enforced
ignorance" and is becoming intolereble
to serious and sincere educators.

the Endorsement Of Colonel EDWARD E.
BRITToN, who was an important factor
in the passage Of the Federal Militia law.
The President has become SO much in
terested in the plan as to write a letter
to Senator WARREN, chairman OF the
Senate Military Committee, urging favor
able action. The House, in passing the
Army Appropriation bill, struck out an
item for extra forage, which the Regulars
would need If assigned to the instruction
camps. This provision should. be re-
stored to the bill for without the allow
anc the Regulars would suffer from an
expense handicap. AS the Federal Gov
eminent is to pay for the transportation
Of State troops and the instruction is
TO cost them nothing, the amount for
forage should go back into the bill with
out objection from the House. The
adoption Of the joint system Of training
means 80 much to the citizen soldiers,
and the experience gained would be
such an improvement over the old State
camp routine, that the influence OF the
National Guard Of the country should
be brought to bear on Congress at once
to insure the enactment Of General
DIVERS proposal into law before the
confusion Of the last days of the session
sets in to complicate matters.

to resign. Lord ELaIN went on to say
that in view of the information thus
presented he had sent a despatch to the
effect that the Government had no in
tention OF interfering with the action
of the responsible Ministers of Natal in
the exercise Of their prerogatives, and
declaring that they would not have
postponed the execution Of the con
demned natives had they been thor
oughly informed.
The second incident was still more
indicative of an accommodating temper.
The Government had brought in a bill
to improve the legal status Of labor
unions in which, as the Attorney
General pointed out, all the demands OF
the Labor Party had been granted,
except that, as the Government thought,
the funds Of a labor union should be
liable for damage done by its agents,
provided the agents could be shown to
have acted in pursuance Of instructions
from the union. That, he said, was a
question of fact which ought to be de-
termined by a jury. The Labor mem
bers denounced this feature OF the
measure, and on March 80 n Of them
introduced a bill Of his own which, while
otherwise practically a duplicate Of the
Governments project, provided that no
suit should be brought against q trade
union for the recovery Of damages sus-
tanned by any person by reason OF the
act of any member Of such trade union.
To the surprise Of the House, the Prime
Minister threw over the Attorney
General and advised that the second
reading of the bill should be voted,
being confident, he said, that differences
as to details could be settled In commit
tee of the whole. OF course the Premier
was twitted by the Opposition for his
vacillation, and, undoubtedly, it was
apparent that the Government did not
know its own mind. 1t would astonish
no one if the Attorney-G General and such
Of his colleagues as concur with him
should now resign.
Evidently Sir H. OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
MAN, although with the Liberals proper
he could have beaten by a large majority
the Laborites, even had they been as
sisted by the Unionists and the Irish
Nationalists, shrank from promoting
such a conjunction Of hostile elements
at this early date. The same feeling, as
we have said, may lead him to go much
further in the way of concessions to the
Beers or Of satisfying the Irish Home
Rulers than he had originally meant to
60. If, moreover, he is thus reluctant
to ALLEVIATE Laborites and Irish National
lists, how much more averse will he be
to rupture the Liberal party itself by
causing a secession Of the English Nom
conformists through a failure to content
them in the details of the forthcoming
Education bill. II he gives them every
thing they want, however, how can he
hold his Anglican supporters?
On the whole, the first session Of the
new Parliament bids fair to be much
more interesting than 1t promised to be
a week ago.

The Yielding Temper OF the New
British Government.

On two important questions which
have arisen during the last week in the
House Of Commons, the new Premier,
Sir H. CAMPBELL-BANNERMAN, has
evinced a willingness to recede from
the position originally taken by him,
which naturally is described by his
friends as a conciliatory spirit and by
his opponents as a policy of surrender.
The two incidents taken together seem
to Justify the forecast that the Irish
Na~tionalists, the Beers of the Transvaal
and the English Nonconformists will be
able to get almost anything that they
may insist upon.
1t certainly was unexpected that a
Government supposed to cherish the
Liberal tradition of non%-interference with
colonial autonomy should have so inter-
vened in a matter o~.aGGreat moment to
the white inhabitants of Natal as to
provoke the resignation of the Ministry
a number of natives, accused of having
waylaid and murdered certain whites,
weee tried by martial law and several
OF them convicted. The death sentence
was about to be carried out when Lord
ELGIN, Secretary for the Colonies, tele-
graphed an order to Sir HENRY McCUL-
LON, Governor of Natal, to postpone
the execution of the prisoners. There
upon the Natal Ministry resigned, and
naturally Mr., JOSEPH CHAMBERLAIN and
other members Of the Opposition drew
from the incident the deduction that
the Conservatives, and not the Liberals,
were the true friends of colonial self
government.
The Cabinet, or at all events the Pre-
mier, seems to have felt that Lord ELGIN
had gone too far, and on March 80 the
latter read a telegram in the House Of
Lords in which the Governor of Natal
set forth at length the reasons which
had caused the Ministry of that colony
