UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.
Thousands of People Are Being Reached
Nowadays

How universities and colleges, both
public and private, in every state in the
union, are reaching with instruction not
only students who come for the regular
college course. but also thousands Of
other men and women eager for educa-
tonal opportunities, is described in a
bulletin on University Extension in the
United States published by the bureau
Of education Dean L. E. Reber, direc-
tor of the extension department Of the
University OF Wisconsin and leader in
the movement to make the university
serve the state, is the compiler of the
bureaus bulletin on the subject.
Dean Reber shows that, while elements
OF university extension work appear rs
early as 1891 in the United States, the
real beginning of the movement was in
1887. and its most rapid development
has taken place in the last half dozen
years.
In 1901 % states and territories re-
ported university extension in some
form. Between 1892 and 1906 II institu-
tions organized extension teaching, main
IN in agriculture, and since 1906 % uni
yersities and colleges have introduced the
work. while q Others have recognized
their extension work on basis of sap
arate divisions or departments.
Beginning largely as correspondence,
bulletin and package library work, uni-
yersity extension has now come to in
clude all university service done away
from the institution, as well as certain
kind OF work done within the institution,
such as popular short courses, confer
ences, extra lectures and the like. Many
Of the universities give correspondence
courses III college subjects and allow
credit for such work toward the regular
collegiate degrees.
In discussing Dean Reber's findings,
DR.. Claxton, United States commission
Ell Of education, declares: mo longer do
colleges and universities coniine their
work within their own walls. More and
more they attemTd to reach all the peo-
pie of the communities to which they
minister. The campus of the state uni
versity has come to be coextensive with
the borders of the state whose people
tax themselves for its support.
1.-THE great universities with large en-
dowments attempt to serve still larger
areas in this popular way. Wherever
men and women labor in the heat, or
toll in the shadows, in field or forest, or
mill or shop or mine, in legislative halls
or executive Offices. in society or in the
home, at any task requiring an exact
knowledge of facts, principles, or laws,
there the modern university sees both its
duty and its opportunity"
