nomy, Political Science, Spanish,
Constitutional Engineering and
Surveying. 1t is more difficult to
give instruction in this way than
It is in residence but correspond
ence and other forms Of extension
work are efforts well worth while
because they are attempts to reacn
the SO out of every 100 who do not
90 to College. 1t is not right that
they should be debarred from the
benefits that are to be had from
such institutions as our State col
leges.
We learned also of the packet
library system which is extremely
popular in Wisconsin. Their llb-
raries are made up from clippings
from books, magazines, papers and
in some cases the written opinions
of experts on live, up-to-date popu-
lar subjects. One Of the features
of this work is that Of aiding busi-
ness men and others in the prepar-
alton of their addresses when they
are called upon to speak upon
some important question OF pro-
gressive nature in their own town.
The Extension Department sends
to such a man and to others who
are to discuss papers, such mate
rial as will help them in the study
of their particular subjects. The
correspondence Of this department
reveals the fact that this feature OF
the work Of the Univ ersity has put
new life into the debating and lit
erary societies Of the State, and
that many schools now maintain
these societies as a regular part OF
their work. Furthermore, this kind
of extension work has stimulated
interest in matters pertaining to
civics and the 276 civic clubs now
in Wisconsin are becoming great
force in the moulding Of public
opinion. Such work as this, reach
ing as it does people in the very
corners Of the State, cannot help
paying in greater efficiency on the
part Of it's citizens.
Another line of work done by the
Extension force was that Of pro-
viding lectures and entertainment
courses through the State. 1t keeps
in touch with the schools, churches,
oranges, and lyceums and by sug-
gestion and instruction is able to
provide better lectures and better
music at a lower cost. This de-
partment furnishes speakers for
High School commencements, loans
many lanter slides for illustrated
lectures upon given topics and in
various ways takes those factors

self and in part is the portion set
aside by Congress from the Federal
treasury for the benefit Of our
State. Delaware then has a right
to expect some very substantial
benefits from such a large fund
devoted to definite purpose.
Delaware College has now at
least reached the point when it's in
terests are larger than any indi-
vidual interests can positively be
and when in consequence your
opinion or my wish must be sub
servient to the will and wish of
the whole people until this cardi-
nal principle is upheld. On insti-
tuition which has for its purpose
public service can never fulfil it's
mission with any degree of salts
faction to itself or its constituents.
On the other hand, the reason
why there is lack Of hearty CO.
operation between the people of
the State and the College may not
be any lack entirely on the part of
the College. In an Institution
such as ours, where the State holds
check on the administration it is
within the prerogatives Of such
representative bodies as this to
give expression to their opinion in
regard to its conduct. l am led to
make the above statement on ac-
count of the fact that for some rea-
son the parents Of the State are
not sending their boys to Delaware
College. They are going to other
institutions outside of the State
where undoubtedly the expense is
much greater.
After the State and the Govern
ment have spent so much in put
ting the advantages of first
class education within reach Of the
young men Of Delaware at a mini
mum cost, there must be some good
reason if they prefer to go some
where else to be trained for their
life careers. Although l speak
without authority, l am sure that
the Trustees would welcome any
light upon this matter. Are not
our courses of study as well adapt
ed to the needs of the State as
those Of other colleges? Is our
body of instructors inferior to
those of other institutions Is the
environment at Newark unsafe for
the young men Of our State? Or
what is the difficulty? Will any
one volunteer an explanation in or
der that the trouble, whatever it is,
may be corrected and the College
put in a position where it can serve
the State in the fullest possible
manner. This is a question of such
gravity that l think it would be
well to have a committee appoint
ed from this body to make a care
full study of the matters involved
and see if it is not possible to
break down the barrier that ap-
parently exists between the Col
lege and the people that the two be
brought into perfect harmony. We
have raised the question as to what
more the College can do to come
closer to the people. I am glad to
have an opportunity to suggest a
partial answer to this question.
Last May it was my good for
tune to visit the University of Wis
consin with the City Club of Phil
adelphia. The purpose of the visit
was to learn what the University
was doing for the State and what
methods it used for this service.

Now Use for Electricity.

\ wooden bridge over the Wabash
in Indiana was recently purchased by
the county authorities, who proposed
to replace it by steel structure erect
ed on the old piers and abutments.
The question then arose as to how
the bridge could be removed. If
blown up by dynamite, the piers
would be destroyed; If fired, the heat
would crack and injure the masonry.
The problem was solved by an cleo
trio engineer. who proposed to burn
the timbers apart by electricity. He
encircled the timber with loops Of
iron resistance, and passed an cleo
trio current through the loops until
they We're red hot. The result was a
sharp, clean cut, and the wood was
not charred more than an inch from
the place OF fracture. The time TAX
en- was very little. The current was
turned on about five o'clock in the
morning, and by two III the afternoon
all Of the span tinabers were lying In
the river. "y

While on His Way Homo to

J. b. Dunphy, of Duluth, whose
death was recently chronicled, was an
old citizen of that city and for years
had been identified with it's business
interests, having been one of the or
ganizers Of the Peoples Brewing Co.
AT the time OF his demise he was con-
Quoting the Adelphia hotel. He had
been in i'll health for some time and
Il visit to Hot Springs, Ark, was made
in company with his son, NJ. +. Dun
ply. AT the Moody hotel, where he
stopped, he was given the best of
care, but continuing to fail, he soon
suggested a return to his home in Du-
luth and it was while ON his way
back on the train that death came to
his relief.
Mr.. Dunphy had been resident OF
Duluth for thirty years and was a
member Of the a. o. H., Catholic Or.
der OF Foresters and the Elks. He is
survived by his wife, two daughters
Rose and Kathleen, and a son. M. f

"curfew Shall Not Ring Tonight

Mrs. Rose Hartwick Thorpe, who
wrote "Curfcw Shall Not Ring To-
night" is still writing poetry, though
she is 62 years old. Few people know
that the poem was written while the
author was Il resident of MishaWaka,
Ind. She wrote the poem back in
1882, while living with her parents
there, and rccited it before many
Mishawaka audiences before it re-
ceived place in literature. She has
written many things since, but her
place in American letters was fixed by
this one effort. The poem has been
read and recited for years by thou
sands of children, to the great delight
of it's modest author. Mrs. Thorpe is
now at Curfew College, La Jolia, Cal,
near San Diego, where she has been
for several nonths.--Indianapoli

Are singing of the summer that is
coming from the star.
I will take my pipes and go now, for
the little mountain rill
Is pleading with the bagpipes in ten
der grooming bars.
will go DER hills and valleys, and
through fields Of ripening rye,
And the linnet and the tllrostle and
the bittern in the sedge
Will hush their threats and listen, as
the piper passes by,
On the great lonE road of silver that
ends at the worlds edge.
will take my pipes and go now, for
the sandfower on the dunes
Is a-weary Of the sobbing OF the great
white sea,
And is asking for the piper, with his
basketful Of tunes,
To play the merry lifting that sets
all hearts free.
l will take my pipes and go now, and
God so with you all,
And keep all sorrow from you and
the dark h. .rt's load.
Twill take my pipes and go now, 70,

And you'll hear the pipes a-singinl
as pass along the road.
