Arm SCdlded

John Boelter, an engineer at the
steam plant of the Watertown Gas
and Electric company, had his left
arm badly scalded by hot steam
about 6 o'clock last evening and was
taken to st. Mary's hospital for treat
ment. Mr.. Boelter had raked the fire
under the boilers and was intending
to wet the clinkers before removing
them to the ash heap. For this pur-
pose he uses water from the boiler,
and reached up to open the valve, but
made a mistake and opened a steam
valve instead and the hot steam
scalded his arm which was directly
below the valve.
Although badly injured, Mr.. Boelter
went to the telephone and called DR..
Shinnick and he was later taken to
St Mary's hospital where he received
treatment. 1t is believed that he will
fully recover from the effects of the
scalding. Mr.. Boelter resides at 317
College avenue.

INFORMATION
FURNISHED BY
I UNIVERSITY
Literature on Important Questions
Given to Public by EX-
tension Division.

The University of Wisconsin through
its University Extension Division gath
ers and lends material for the study
and discussion of all the important
questions and topics of the day. The
great questions which must be de-
cided by the nation or the state, and
those which must be settled by city
councils and town and county boards
are all within the province of this di
vision. Questions which are important
to fathers and mothers and home ma
kers, civic leagues and improvement
associations, or organizations of bust
ness and professional men are inves-
tigated by the Extension Division in
order that it may help others to in
yestigate them. The books, articles,
reports, references, and other material
cation will be loaned, without cost. to
official and unofficial organizations
When possible the University Exten-
sion Division will borrow and lend to
all students and official organizations,
books from the University, state and
national libraries which are essential
to the wide study of important ques-
tons. 1t will direct inquiries to the
best sources of information, to federal
and state departments, to national and
state institutions, to men and women
who have special knowledge.
For century after century, genera
ton after generation, cities, states and
universities have gathered material for
their libraries which have been easily
accessible only to those who could
come to them to study. The Univer-
sity of Wisconsin, always unusually
liberal in aiding citizens of the state
who wish to consult its literary treas
ures. will use the most direct means
o. employing the material which it has
gathered and which the state depart
ments have secured for the instruction
and education of all the people of the
state.
For century after century, generation
after generation, the men who have
had the leisure and the means to in
vestigate subjects carefully have given
their time largely to studies in history
anC literature. in pure science, and
have held themselves and their work
aloof from The masses Of the people.

students ale studying cheese making

in that, Ii students are from other
states. notwithstanding the extra tut
ti9n fees for non-residents. There are
two each. from Pennsylvania, Ohio
and Indiana; and one each, from
Michigan. Illinois, Nebraska, Mime
sofa, and Mississippi. r, R. WEIGH,
graduate of another agricultural
college and for some time junior

A griculture in the south, is here, on
leave of absence, to better fit himself

Sumo new equipment, including
combined churns. milk heaters, and
hand separatO's, is being installed to
afford facilities for student practice.
The cream and milk supply has been
increased by new routes at Middleton
and Fitchburg. in urder to provide ad-
equate material for student work
Cheese making will begin earlier in
the course than formerly, and the in
structon in preparation Of starters has
been improved. Students will have
an opportunity this year of attending
the scoring exhibitions, thus getting
good idea Of the quality of butter
and cheese produced in the state.

Practical Work of the University of
Wisconsin.

The University of Wisconsin has
encouraged it's instructors and investi-
gators to use their time and oppor-
tunities. their libraries, and their lands
and buildings in the investigation of
subjects which could be used to aid
all of the people of the state. Such
work as Professor BabcOck did i'll in
venting and perfecting methods of
handling milk, methods which have
Iightened the labor and increased the
comfort of the housewives and their
families in every rural home in Wis
consin has been the ideal of the re-
search work done at the University of
Wisconsin.
It has been unfortunately true, how
ever, that frequently the results of
these Investigations have been years,
and ofttimes a generation, in reaching
the people who could make the best
practical use of them. To overcome
this. the University of Wisconsin has
organized the University Extension
division. whose purpose it is to train
men and instructors to use the most
effective means Of spreading this in
formation among the people, and
arousing their interest in it's study. To
do this work it is necessary that
methods of advertising should be used
which are as direct as those used
bv the merchants and manufacturers.
1t is necessary that a large number
of intelligent people should assist the
University in making known its de-
sires and spreading information in re
gard to its methods.
