versity," said DR.. Hill, I'VE have dur
ing the last year reached over 1OO,-
900 people by addresses from men,
bers Of the faculty. in addition to
those who have received the popular
scientific bulletins from the Univer-
sity."
In speaking of the unique feature
of the university extension courses.
Doctor Hill mentioned the short
courses in agriculture being con-
Quoted in various communities of
the state. These are taken from
points to point in successive seasons.
so as ultimately to reach the entire
state. He told also of the new form
of extension teaching in agriculture
by cooperating with counties in
the employment of agricultural en-
perts who act as agents of the Uni
versity under the department of
farm management. This system
brings direct aid from the College of
Agriculture to the individual farmer
in a thoroughly practical manner. he
said.
A work even more important than
the work of the Agricultural Expert
ment Station in the cure and preven-
ton of diseases of live stock. is the
establishment of the department of
preventive medicine, according to
Doctor Hill. Besides large classes in
the University. it publishes bulletins
for laymen and physicians and is
now organizing it's extension work
with a view to improving the health
of Missouri people by giving them di-
rect concrete suggestions about the
prevention of diseases, by dessemi-
mating sound notions of hygiene and
sanitation among the school children
of the state.
The extension work of the School
address. The school at present
reaches over 10000 teachers in the
state by lectures, and practically ev-
cry teacher in the state by bulletins. |
The raising of the standard of rural
and high schools of the state by sug-
gestiOns and instructions as to
curricula. selection of teach
ers in cooperation with the county
superintendent and school boards
has been especially successful. BY
these means the number of first class
high schools in Missouri has been
trebled during the last decade. he
said.
The growing importance of the
graduate school as an extension of
the College of Arts and Science was
spoken of. 1t now has an enroll
ment equal to the average enroll
of the professional schools and
doing thoroughly effective work.
The College of Arts and Science,
including half the entire student en-
rOllment of over 5000. was men,
toned as necessarily One of the first
considerations of the University.
''In order that university extension
and practical experiment work may
be of great and permanent value"
said DR.. Hill. 1T is important that
there be strong fundamental work
on the campus. 1t is the
policy of the University. therefore, to
keep the College of Arts and Science,
the fundamental division of the Uni
up to the highest possible
the other faculties to say that the
College of Arts and Science is the
strongest division of the University"
