Educational EXtenti0n Plans
Is Meeting With Great Favor

suits attained even at this early date
are highly satisfactory. Lecture
courses are being arranged in many
of the best cities and towns of the
state and the interest manifested in
the university correspondence study
department is growing in a way that
is highly gratifying to those who are
in charge Of the work.
Many Valuable Courses.
The correspondence study idea has
been used and abused In so many
different ways in recent years that
many people are surprised to learn
that the best institution of learning
in the state is ready to throw its
courses open and give the services of
its faculty to such work of this ma
.ture. The courses that the university
offers, which include the best Of all
the work offered in the various col
leges and in the model high school,
are identical with the courses that
+ taught to the students in actual
attendance, so there is no lowering of
the standards in this! work. Also, the
same instructors plan the courses
and criticise the written r~ecitations.
The work cannot be anything else
than thorough. AS one student, a
superintendent Of schools Of q leading
city in the western part of the state,
who has taken and finished up one
Of the courses said: cit is better and
stronger than any subject in my reg

does meet q very distinct and long
felt want for those, and their num-
Der Is not small, who desire to profit
by the advantages held. out by a good
university and yet, for various rea-
sons r held back from doing so.
For q state institution taking up q
work Of this kind, 1t 9 that such
institution Is simply Increasing its
usefulness. To the student who is
looking for this kind Of work. II
means that here is something on
which he may rely, for it is backed
by all the strength and influence OF
the state university.
Credit on College Degrees.

makes It abundantly worth while, es.
pecially for those who are looking to.

call of duty has touched a responsive
chord in the hearts Of American
playgoers throughout the entire land.

the laboratory and shop courses are
excepted. The fees r so low that
they will not amount to one-fourth Of
the cost Of actual attendance, when
cost Of living is figured in, and cor
.respondence work can be carried ON
in spare moments without giving up
ones employment.
Plan Is Simple.
Direct personal attention from q
member Of the university faculty
and r~ecitations in writing which are
gone over carefully and returned with
criticisms and comment are two val
liable features of the university plan.
The bureau Of educational co-opera-
ton has issued q line of pamphlets
explanatory Of the various courses
that are offered and these are sent
to anyone. all charges paid. on re-
quest. The payment Of fees ia ar
student. The bureau employs a field
organizer, N. 9. Abbott, who spends
most Of his time travelling about the
state and will call and take up the
matter with people who desire a per-
sonal conference. The whole idea
back of this movement is one of pub
lie service and II the state university
can in this way render more efficient
service to the people, it is simply
fulfilling its mission of leader in the
educational work of the state.
Information Available.
Another feature Of the work Of the
bureau is worthy of more than pass
ing mention. This is the readiness
Of the university to supply tnforma-
ton on almost any topic OF general
interest to associations, clubs or in
dividuals who may be in need Of help.
The university has a library Of over
$4,000 volumes and practically all OF
these are at the disposal Of the peo-
pie of the state. Books, pamphlets
and other literature will be mailed
to responsible people. all charges
paid, on request. The university H.
brarians are ready to look up any
topic and to prepare photographers
and lists of material and to cite in
terested seekers to sources of infor-
nation. This offer should make an
especial appeal to teachers, club
workers and anyone who Is interested
in debate and public discussion.
Lecture Courses.
Plans have already been made In
many of the cities Of the state fol-
university lecture courses. Along
this line, also. the work offers an
other surprise, for the university
sends its lecturers even to the most
remote parts Of the state for a rate
which in some cases does not pay the
expense. Communities who want the
Intellectual stimulus that should re-
suit from the visits of the university
professors can secure these lectures
by taking the matter up with the
ONCE Of the bureau at the university.
County superintendent and city
school authorities can easily secure
these lecturers for their educational
gatherings and commercial clubs.
civic leagues and women's clubs can
thus gain much added light on their
peculiar problems. Here again. the
idea is one of public service and add
ed usefulneRs.

those Wall streeters. II they succeed
in once more capturing the national
convention, they will turn to as one
man and beat the ticket on election
day. ct would be a political crime
to destroy the Democratic party's
chances by nominating a Wall street
candidate" says Mr.. Bryan. "The
only hope Of the party is in the NOM
ination of a positive, progressive, az
gressive Democrat. Any other course
would be suicidal"
He finds room in his paper for a
long letter from an Alabama Demo-
crat-Oscar w. Underwood lives in
Alabama-who says in his letter:
mir. Bryan represents more men in
America today than any other man.
and they will personally resent any
insult to him and they will not see
him silenced for he is their spokes-
man. They will follow any leader
he approves, and will not support any
one who he suspects, whether north
or south Of Mason's and Dixon's
line" We search this issue Of Mr..
Bryan's paper as vainly for the name
OF Dr.. Woodrow Wilson as for the
name Of Judson Harmon. Two of
Champ Clark's recent speeches are
there, in whole or part: evidently the
lamp still holds out to burn for
Champ. But he really must cay his
catechism.

THE ASTON SCANDAL.

Nobody knows how much money
John Jacob Astor is worth. An ap-
parently authorized statement has
been made that he settled s 100000
on the little girl who has now be-
come his wife. How much would he
have given to hush the scandal about
his marriage, which has made his
name a by-word all v the United
States? It is safe to cay he would
have paid a monstrous sum for such
immunity.
The man raj forbidden by New
York state law to marry during the
life Of his divorced wife. His deter
mination to violate the law wat scan
dalous, ever il nothing else gave the
incident that quality. All the money
he inherited could not have bought
OF the newspapers Of the country
from proclaiming near and far the
%scandalous story Of his second alli-
ance. They did 1t. and. whatever
some critics may say Of the intrusive
ness Of the "prying newspapers" it
will have to be admitted that in this
case they have done a mighty lot Of
toning up to the moral sense Of So
ciety. The next multimillionaire of
divorce court record who thinks of
attempting a similar Dissertation Of
the marriage relation will think
again, and then likely abandon the
project.
The clergyman through the United
States who have discussed the pro-
priety Of performing the marriage
ceremony under these conditions have
almost universally condemned the
minister who should undertake it.
Two attorneys of the bridegroom had
a long hunt for him before they
could find a man ready to sacrifice
his reputation this way. The wedding

"The Right Of Way" is a powerful,
interest-stimulating drama, introduce

that a play like I'm Old Kentucky"
