mission that the wisconsin University
was the most useful to the people OF
all the great universities of the coun-
try, and this means that it is the most
useful to the people of any university
In the world.
The University of Wisconsin recog-
uizes the fact that knowledge is
power only when one knows how to
use it." The Extension Division I'M
derstands this fact, and has as its key
note the determination to make the
University of the greatest service to
all the people by methods that are at
once direct and simple and selected
with sole reference to their effective
ness in the cause of popular education.
In its statement this seems more
easy than it is in practice. Nearly
every university in the country has
been bound by old traditions which
have made it seem undignified for pro-
fessors in great institutions to spend
their time in practical work to train
themselves to impart their knowledge
in simple, everyday language. The
revolution in all educational methods
that is being made by the work of the
University of Wisconsin can hardly be
overestimated.

PREVENTING DISEASE
Extension Division Distributes InfOr-
.mation About Modern Methods
of Stamping Out Infec-
tiOas Diseases.

Mr.. John Corbin, in his recent popu-
lar book ON the universities of the
country, entitled (which College for
the Boy" which was written before
the present medical college was es-
tablished, says of the University of
Wisconsin:
Though the University has no medi-
cal school, it is busy with the problem
of eradicating unwholesOme condi-
tons, and hopes within a decade vir-
tually to eliminate such. infectious
diseases as whOoping-cough, measles,
diphtheria, scarlet fever and typhoid
fever. and to make great Roadway
even against tuberculosis. Unable to
provide clinics for the education Of
doctors, owing to it's situation in a
small city, it is putting the profession
out of business by diminishing the
crop of disease"
This work of preventing disease
among the masses of the people would
not be possible except for the work
of the University Extension Division.
The University may have gathered all
the information necessary to the eX-
tinction of disease, and yet not
save a single life, or days sickness
unless it has effective methods of
teaching the people to use the means
of prevention and cure.
Public Needs Information.
1t is not enough that some scientific
man should know how to prevent ty-
phOid fever from securing a human
victim, but the individual to be pro-
tected must also have this information,
and the community must know how
to guard him, and must also be inter
ested i'll guarding him from infection.
The dissemination of such informa-
tion is n nrimarv DurnoSa of the or-
istence of the Extension Division, anu
it does this by using all the latest
methods employed by business men in
educating the public to the use OF their
wares.
Just one more step in the process
of education is indispensable. The peo-
pie must be interested to study these
methods, and to look to the University
for aid. In this work the support and
assistance of the newspaper press of
the state Is essential. 1t is also es-
sential that every public-spirited citi-
zen who is anxious for the welfare of
his community and of his fellows
should use every effort to make him.

As an illustration of the practical
method of this work, we may take
the instruction of young artisan, or
mechanical engineer in the work of

him through the year 40 weeks of in
struction by correspondence. AT the
conclusion of that time he may come
to the University and receive six
weeks of very practical instruction by
the men under whom he has been
studying during the year. The great
machine shops and laboratories of the
University will be open to him. Early
each morning he will receive instruc-

spend the remainder Of the morning
at the lathes, FORCES, engines, testing
machines, ETC., in practical test of the
theories explained to him early in the
day. In the afternoon he will follow
the methods of the morning. In this
way theory and practice go together

Appendicitis and Gout Rampant Thou

The injuries. disease and peculiari-
ties OF the people who lived in the val
ley Of the Nile from prehistoric until
early Christian times, a period Of
over 5000 years, are shown In a
pathological collection on view at the
Royal College of Surgeons in London.
The collection was obtained during the
exploration of fifty-seven cemeteries
in the area of the Nile valley lying i'm
mediately south of the pillars of Ko-
nosso, which mark the frontier of an
cient Egypt.
The survey was carried out under
the direction of Captain III. G.Lyons
OF the Egyptian government. In one
grave were found the abdominal or
gans of woman so well preserved
that it was possible to say that she
suffered from appendicitis, which is
considered to be the earliest evidence
Of this disease. Typical LESSONS Of
govt were found In an early Christian
subject.
A pair of splints, with bandages,
were found on the forearms Of young
woman's body, both the forearms hav-
ing been broken just above the wrists.
The splints are almost identical with.
those used at the present day.

Extension Division of the University
Of Wisconsin was good illustration
Of the very practical character of the
work now done in the name of the
University Extension Division.
AT nIs Institute, Which was planned
at the request of a very large number
of bakers, the experts for the state
and federal government instructed
the bakers not only in methods OF
selecting the best raw materials in
fiours, dairy products, fiavors, sweets.
personalities and colors but trained
them in methods of choosing the most
economical products for their work.
These experts also informed them
in regard to the national and state
pure-food laws; the dangers from i'm
pure milk and cream and gave
them practical demonstrations of
methods of selection. Special empha-
sis was put upon the problem OF
the hygienic and sanitary problems of
the baker, and methods OF sanitary
delivery.
Helps Eliminate Disease.
This institute which was unique was
the first offered by any university
or educational institution In the coun-
try to aid the baker to do his work
more economically, and with more re-
gard for the health of the consumers.
The loss from sickness and ill-health
which has resulted from lack of
knowledge of the diseases that may be
conveyed by unhealthy dairy and
bakery products would be appalling If
the grand total could be computed.
This kind of work is different in its
bearing and it's effectiveness, from the
work secured by the passing of ordin-
ances and laws. BY such methods
as this the bakers are given expert
assistance in studying these problems,
and improving their work through
personal enthusiasm and knowledge,
rather than by fear of big penalties.
The fact that the demand for this in
struction in sanitary and economical
methods came from the bakers OF
Wisconsin is convincing, evidence
their progressive spirit and their anX-
iety to aid in conserving the public
health.
