Investment in contributing to an in

interest Debating is, therefore. OF
great value to the debaters, but it IS
also of great value to the auditors
There is no other way in which a per-

DEBATING SOCIETIES
ARE GIVEN AID
Questions Stated, Books and Articles
Lent and References Given
by University.

In order to aid debating societies
and to train the younger citizens to
an interest in, and ability to study,
important public questions to the best
advantage. the Wisconsin University
Extension department issues bulle-
tins stating mooted questions in the
best form for debate, and gives refe"
ences to books, articles and reports
which may be found in the public
libraries, or if not found in them,
loaned by the department to the So
cieties.
The following extract from an edi-
torial which appeared in the Boston
Herald, the leading newspaper of New
England, September 26, 1908, shows
something of the way in which this
method appeals to good citizens in
other states, and states very clearly
the methods and purposes Of this de-
partment:
POSSIBLY a Wisconsin voter may
have his doubts whether the initiative
and referendum are good or bad de-

UNIVER SITY
EDUCATES
ENGINEERS
Practical Assistance of Extension
Division Brings Tribut> from
Stationary Engineers.

The stationary engineers of Wis
cOnsin have a state organization which
is composed of a large number of
local bodies. This organization has
been very greatly interested in the
educational and professional improve
ment of it's members, and during the
last year has been in close touch with
the Extension Division of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin. The result has
been so satisfactory that all of the
members have become enthusiastic
about the Extension work, and their
enthusiasm was communicated to the
national body which met in Denver,
Colo, a few months ago.
At that time the national OrganiZa-
ton passed some very enthusiastic
resolutions, whose purpOrt is shown in
the following, selected from the whole
body of resolutions:
WHEREAS, The University of
Wisconsin has organized a new col
1ege' known as the Extension Divi-
sion through which the University

vice to all classes of citizens, either
as individuals or as persons connect
ed with educational and civic institu-
tons, professional service, or econ
omic enterprises, thus contributing to
the resources of life and welfare of
society, and
"WHEREAS, A most effective part
of this University Extension work is
done through correspondence instruc-
ton at the very homes of the people
VINO embrace these opportunities, and
thus while pursuing gainful occupa-
tons, increase their personal efic1-
ency in their chosen vocatiOns, and
thus promote their own advancement,
Resolved, That the officers Of this
Association. The Special and State
Deputies, the officers of the State and
Subordinate Associations, and the
members thereof; be and are hereby
instructed to confer with their repre-
sentatives in the State Legislatures,
and urge each Of them to investigate
the methods of this new Extension
Division College of the University Of
Wisconsin, to the end that 1t may be
given the greatest publicity possible
in each and every state, and if pos
sible make this method part Of the
University, or other educational insti-
buttons controlled by the state, and
thereby render the greatest possible
service to all classes Of its citizens,
either as individuals or as persons
connected with educational and civic
institutions, thus contributing to the
resources of life and welfare of so
ciety."
The national recognition of the ire
mendous value of the Extension work
to the artisans and mechanics of the
country, is only one Of the many evil
dences that the whole country is ripe
for just this form of educational en-
deavor.

TRAINING
FOR TRACTION
ENGINEERS
The University and the Postal Service
Make Practical Training for Ru-
raj Engineers Possible.

Every country boy has at some
time in his life a desire to run an
engine. But romance in this field has
long since been overtaken by the mat
ter-of-fact utility. The country IS full
of traction engines. They are COM
mon necessity these days. The crops
are threshed by them and score OF
services rendered the rural dwel-er
from the blowing of the furrow to the
baggipg of the grain. The understand
ing and operation of the traction IS a
field in itself. But closely allied is
the operation of the steam roller now
so extensively employed in highway
construction and the operation OF all
kinds of stationary, small steam,
gasoline or gas engines employed In
Constructive. light manufacturing or
AGRICULTURAL work, not to mentlon
automobiles and motor boats. 10
meet the demand for practlcal
knowledge Of these engines and the
ability to operate them with safety
and economy, the University OF " s
consin through the University Exten-
sion Division. now teaches men these
things in their own homes. Ability TO
read and understand plain English ana
TO write lesson papers on what
studied IS all that is required.

UNIVERSITY AIDS IN
PREVENTING DISEASE
Extension Division Distributes Infor.
.mation About Modern Methods
of Stamping Out InfeC.
tious 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 Graduating unWholesOme cOndi-
tons, and hopes within a decade viz
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 its 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 a days sickness
unless it has effective methods of
teaching the people to use the means
of prevention and cure.

DOINGS THURSDAY
Medical Society Holds Meetinq5

The annual meeting of the Jefferson
County Medical society was held at
Jefferson yesterday afternoon, and
matters of much interest to the medi-
cal fraternity came up for discussion
and action. The election of officers
was held and the following officers
were chosen:
President = DR.. Harlow Caswell
Fort Atkinson.
Vice President-Dr. P. F. Stevens,
Jefferson.
Secretary and Treasurer-Dr. c. R.
Field, Watertown.
Censor-Dr. Claude H. Searle, Pal
myra
Papers were read on tuberculosis
by DR.. w. F. Whyte of Watertown and
discussed by most OF the members
present. DR.. w. A. Engsburg of Lake
Mills presented a paper on congenital
dislOcation of the knee joint, which
called forth interesting discussion.
DR.. c. J. Habhegger of WatertoWn
presented three cases of a surgical
nature with illustrations showing the
work and results of local work done
in ST Mary's hospital. His efforts
were appreciated highly by the So
ciety. The following from Water
town attended: Drs. w F. Whyte,
L. H Nowack, T. F. Shinnick, c. J.
G. R. Field.
A pleasant feature of the meeting

son medical fraternity.

vIcum, but the ndlv,ruaI TO pe pro
tected must also have this information,
and the community must know how
to guard him, and must also be inter
eSted in guarding him from infection.
The dissemination of such informa-
ton is primary purpose Of the ex-
istence of the Extension Division, and
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 PEG
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
self acquainted with the methods and
work of the Extension Division, and
to advertise this work persistently
and wisely among his fellows. No
other state in the union has made as
rapid progress in the last few years
along certain lines of political and
economic development as the state of
Wisconsin, and this tremendous adj
vance has been made possible by the
remarkable receptivity of its people,
and through organizations In promot-
ing the advancement of the state and
its citizens
This receptivity and progressiveness
must now be used to increase the eff
fectiveness of the University in its
external educational work, and the
University Extension Division con
ffdently appeals to this spirit in the
people to support the work and push
it to greater usefulness rapidly and
effectively.
