EXTENSION WORK OF NORMAL COLLEGE.

Number two of Volume three Of the Bulletin
of the North Carolina State Normal and In
dustrial College hasIbeen received.
The Bulletin. which is issued quarterly, is one
OF the results of the feeling of the authorities of
the college as set forth in the current number
that the college is "a part of the public school
system and that it has a duty 70 perform, not
only to those who study within it's walls, but to
that great body of people who, for one reason or
another, will not enter this or any other
college
This is extension work similar to that an
nounced some time ago foI the State University
and it is a highly important function Of the Nor
NAL College. The Bulletin IS the medium of
communica ton between the college and the PEG
pie throughout the State. It is expressly stated
in the Bulletin that copies of this bulletin may
be had upon application to the college, thereby
enabling the institution to carry out its policy
of extending the service of it's faculty to the
people at large"
The current Bulletin is entitled Studies in
American Authors" Its extension feature is that
it can be used as\a handbook for reading circles
and teachers Of literature. It was prepared by
the editor of the Bulletin, Prof. w c. Smith, of
the Chair of English.
A glance through its contents shows that the
WOIk CONTAINS, OcSlueS uStS Oh suggested ICdO1llSS,
helpful material in the form of biographical notes,
questions, topics for papers and discussions and
reference lists of helpful books and magazine
articles on the authors considered
The study of Sidney Lanier is particularly
complete, an effort having been made to list every
book and article Of real merit that has appeared
upon his life and works.
Additional features of the Bulletin are it's Sc
lected lists of books on the study Of literature,
collections of American literature, and works of
reference useful to students, teachers and IL
brarians.
The work should prove Of great value to the
numerous literary clubs throughout the State,
for it brings the English department Of one Of
the States greatest institutions into direct rela-
ton with the homes of the people and that is the
next best thing to being in touch with that de-
partment through lectures and immediate per-
sonal direction Of intellectual activities. 1t is for
every reason to be hoped that there will be many
applications to the college for the Bulletin, both
the current number and those to be issued later,
For that to result will be good for the people and
good for the college also. 9
