COLLEGE WORK and
university EXTENSION

How universities anu colleges, both
publc and private, IN every state in
the Onion, are reaching with nstruc-
ton not only students who come for
the regular college course, but also
thousands Of other men and women
eager for educational opportunities, is
described in a bulletin ON University
Extension in the United States pub
lished by the Bureau OF Education.
Dean l.. +. Reber, director OF the eX-
tension department of the University
uf Wisconsin and a leader in the move
ment to make the university serve the
state. is the compiler of the Bureaus
bulletin on the subject.
Dean Reber shows that, while ele-
ments of university extension work APP
pear as early as 1881 in the United
states, the real beginning of the move
ment was in 1887, and its most rapid
development has taken place in the last
half dozen years.
In 1891 twenty eight States and Ter
ritores reported university extension
in some form. Between 1892 and 1906
twelve institutions organized extension
teaching, mainly in agriculture. and
since 1906 twenty eight others have
rcorganzed their extension work on a
basis OF separate divisions or depart
ments.
Beginning largely as correspondence
bulletin. and package library work, uni
Nersity extension has now come to in
cludc all university service done away
from the institution as well as GER
tain kind of work within the institu
tion, such as popular short courses
conferences, extra lectures, aud Tho
like. Many of the universities give cor
respondence courses in college subjects
and allow credit for such work toward
the regular collegiate degrees.
In discussing Dean Reber's findings

White winter IN

Are we facing a white winter in

urday the European war will cause |

and that before the winter is over
white stockings will be observed in

due to the impossibility of getting
dyestuffs the best of which are made

OF the fine grades of imported stock
ings come from France. and we are
likely TO be in commercial touch with
that country for some time, but the
delicate shades of the French goods
are made from German dyes, which
will be as difficult to obtain in France
as in this country.
AS far as fall goods are concerned
the shops OF Wilmington are well sup
piled by recent shipments, but the
local merchants are distinctly wor-
ried as 10 the future OF course, there
will be no lack of white stockings,
for these can be manufactured here
as we'll as abroad. From necessity
the style in hosiery may soon be a
monotonous white.
Owing to the universal fad for match
ing the gown with stockings of the
same shade. such a famine in colors
will be a shock to those who would
keep i'm the fashion. For instance,
most women will hesitate to buy
b white stockings for brown dress.
Black will be one OF the first shades
to disappear in hosiery. for Germany
