pOrtunities for Development of
Individuals and Com
munities.

Every year we are coming to recOg-
nize more clearly the fact that the
working capacity and the wealth Of
the state depends directly upon the
working capacity and knowledge of
the individual members of the COM
munity. The whole is equal to the
sum of all it's parts. A business can
not be brought to the highest eff.
cheney until every man and machine
does it's best work. The wealth of
the city depends upon the wealth of
all of the citizens. When all are pro-
ducing to their highest capacity, the
city gains wealth most rapidly. All
these principles apply to the common
wealth,
In trying to secure the highest eff
cheney of the individual, we must re.
member that this does not come
spontaneously. To secure the best
results the state or the city must
work definitely and consciously along
the best lines to secure the highest
educational development of all its
citizens. The work of the Extension
Division Of the University of. Wiscon-
sin is the first recognition of the fact
that the whole force Of the state
should be used to give each individual
citizen the best opportunities for his
individual development, not only as a
matter of right to the individual. but
as matter of wisdom in promoting
the wealth and welfare of the state as
a whole

Just one more step in the process

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
it's citizens.
This receptiyity and progressiveness
must now be used to increase the eff

it to greater usefulness rapidly and

UNIvE sITY
TEACHES BY MAIL
New Extension Division Gives Instruc.
ton in Many Subjects by
Correspondence.

In teaching by correspondence. the
University of Wisconsin has one great
advantage over the ordinary CONNER
cial correspondence schools. The Uni
versity itself, in its own halls con
ducts a summer school OF six weeks
in which the instruction is given by
the same men in the same halls, using
the same laboratories and librar eS
which are used in the regular work
All these appliances are open to the
correspondence students during the
summer.
AS an illustration of the practical
method of this work, we may take
the instruction of young artisan, OF
mechanical engineer in the work OF
his calling the University offers Il
him through the year 40 weeks of in
strncton 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.
ton by lectures in the theory of me
chanics and engineering, and will
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
to secure the best possible training.
Most Useful University.
1t is these practical methods OF
teaching which convinced the mem
bers of the M0sely educational com
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
III the world.
The University of Wisconsin recog
nizes the fact that knowledge is
power only when one knows now Tt
use it." The Extension Division I'm.
derstands this fact, and has rs its key,
note the determination to make the
University of the greatest service tc
all the people by methods that are al
once direct and simple and selected
with sole reference to their effective
ness i'll 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.

The injuries, disease and peculiari-

early Christian times, 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

The survey was carried out under
the direction of q ltain FL. G. Lyons

that it was possible to say that she

of this disease. Typical LESSONS of

ager of the plant, is enthusiastic in
commenting the work done in the
class In describing this work for a
newspaper reporter he said: Glasses
are held in the shops at stated inter
vais in mechanical courses, one day
being given to one subject. and an
other given to another course. The
instructors from the University Ex-
tension Division carry a collapsible
blackboard and illustrate as much as
does the teacher i'll the school room.
These instructors are the men who
have been teaching individual mem
bers of the class by correspondence.
BY means of the classes the teacher
has an opportunity to come in per-
sonai contact with his pupils, and ex-
amines them and knows exactly the
progress of each. The pupils are able,
by this method to PROFOUND and an
swer questions, and get far clearer
idea of what they are trying to do
than by the long distance style of con-
tact which is the one in use in the
ordinary commercial correspondence
schools. Mr.. Neacy adds to his state
ment the following which is drawn
from an extended practical experience
as manager of a large plant:
young man working in a shop
or manufacturing institution of any
kind gets certain amount of practical
experience-he can work with his
hands. Before he is competent to
handle others or even attain a high
degree OF proficiency as mechanic or
engineer he must have little train

unravel some of these perplexing

finished, he should take a course di-

HeIpfulness of the State Uni
yersity TO the People,

Why did President Eliot, the fore
most educator in the United States,
refer to the University of Wisconsin,
at the Harvard Commencement in
1908, as the leading state university :?
Because it uses all its resources
In men, knowledge and books for the
education and Improvement of al citl-
zens of the commonwealth.
Because it regards the welfare of
who cannot study in the University
halls, as of vital Importance, and it
shapes its work to use the most direct
and simple means to instruct the ar
tisan, farmer hOme-maker, the clerk,
the public official in all branches of
knowledge which will make him of
the greatest service to his family and
the state.
Because the University of Wiscon
sin deals directly with all of the com
munities in the commonwealth fin in
forming the citizens and public bod. les
as to the best methods of promoting
public welfare and inspiring them to
surround all citizens with the best pos
sible physical and moral and educa-
tional environments.
Non Resident Students Aided.
In doing this splendid work the Uni
versity reaches the people through the
University Extension Division. This
kind of work was begun by the Uni
versity in 1885 when the Farmers In
stitutes were established in connection
with the College of Agriculture. Step
by step this work has developed, the
University of Wisconsin always in the
lead until to-day when every college
department of the University is striv
ing to aid nonresident students IS
earnestly as it strives to help the young
man or woman who has the means and
time to reside in Madison.
1t is this missionary spirit, and the
methods employed that inspired Presi-
dent Eliot to refer to the University
of Wisconsin as the greatest Of the
state universities.

Mr. John Corbin, il his recent popu-

EXTENSION HELPS
Practical Instruction Given TO Bakers
by Experts in Economy and
Healthfulness.

The Bakers Institute which was
held in milwaukee, during the lat
ter part of October by the University
Extension Division of the University
of Wisconsin was a good illustration
of the very practical character of the
work now done in the name of the
University Extension Division.
At this institute, which was planned
at the request of 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 III

them in methods of choosing the most
economical products for their work.
These experts also Informed them
in regard to the national and state

them practical demonstrations OF

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 of
their progressive spirit and their ann
iety to aid in conserving the public
health.
