University of Wisconsin to
Extend Lecture Courses
in Kenosha Friday.
MAKE BENEFITS WIDESPREAD
University Is Now Maintaining Six
Glasses in Kenosha and Will Open
Other Courses as Rapidly as Kenosha
I People Show Desire for Them.

Joseph Sullivan, assistant field or
ganizer of the Extension Division of
the University Of Wisconsin, has been
in Kenosha for the past few days
completing arrangements for the ex-
tension of the work of the university
among shop and office workers in Ke-
nosha and formal organization of two
more classes in extension work will
be made at the lecture room of the
Gilbert M. Simmons library on Friday
evening. This will make six classes
under the direction of the University
of Wisconsin in Kenosha. Two of
these are maintained at the plants of
the Chicago Brass Company and the
Badger Brass Company and two others
along the lines of study of advanced
English have been in operation since
the middle of last September. George
e. Frazer, instructor of business aa-
ministration and George B. Averill,
Jr., both members of the faculty OF
the university will have charge of the
new classes and they will come to Ke-
nosha once each week to lecture be-
fore the students.
AS yet no formal arrangements
have been made for the classes and
the nights on which they are to be
held are to be settled at the meeting
on Friday evening. Mr.. Sullivan has
taken the matter up with the Office
managers of many Of the Kenosha
factories and has been given assurance
that there will be a large number of
young men and possibly young women
who will enter these classes. No reg
ular university credits are given for
the work done in these subjects, but
it is planned to make the courses de-
cidedly interesting for the students.
The fees for these courses will be
six dollars each. The first course to
be arranged for is one in business or
ganization and management.
This course is offered as generally
Introductory to the ield of business
science. 1t gives general knowledge
of the principal problems connected
with the conduct of business enter
prises and sufficiently intimate view
of each principal phase Of organization
and management to act as a general
guide to efficiency.
The course is offered equally to
young men who look forward to the
ownership or management of business
enterprises and who seek to develop
all around capacity, and to those who
hope to become SO proficient along
specific lines as to enable them to adj
vance to the heads of departments or
to fill highly skilled positions. 1t is
being recognized all through the bust
ness field that the best results are
not realized by simple specialization.
The necessity for business education
lies in the narrowness of practical ex-
perience under present methods, and
it's first duty is to develop the breadth
of view and knowledge of closely as
ISOLATED fields necessary for thorough
efficiency.
The second Of the courses offered is
one in elementary accounting and it
is expected to be Of interest to young
er men and women.
This course provides the training
Required by the student who desires
to become a practical bookkeeper. 1t
also furnishes general accounting in
formation and practice that are of
value to every worker in the business
field. A knowledge of bookkeeping is
an essential part of the equipment of
every successful business man. The
language of trade is largely recruited
from the technical phraseology of &C.
counting, and the principles of book
keeping form the basis for much OF
the routine of business. A knowledge
of these principles is as important to
the man in charge of business en-
terprise as it is to the practicing &C
countant The bookkeeper must know
how to record business transactions
and prepare exhibits from the records
for the information of the administra.
tive officers of the organization. Those
who are in executive positions must
be able to interpret and utilize the
records that are kept and the state
ments that are prepared by the &C
counting department..
This course presents the common
principles underlying all systems OF
accounts, and considers thoroughly the
terms, methods, and forms that are
used bv the bookkeeper. The work is
practical in every way. Extensive
practice is required in the use o.
standard forms and methods, and sew
eral complete sets of books covering
different lines of business are worked
out by the student to enable him tx
acquire firm grasp of the principles
presented.
