 YALE EXTENSION COURSE
To be Held in FaII-Prof. William ly- on Phelps Has Accepted Invitation to be One of Lecturers.

Much interest and promise attaches to plans now being made whereby in this city next fall a series of lectures in Yale University Extension course are to be given. Prof. William Lyon Phelps of the English department has accepted the invitation extended him to be one of the lecturers from the Un- iversity. Prof. Henry s. Emery of the Economies department may be another of the lecturers as well as other prom inent members of the University.
 As it is now planned, the series will cover six lectures, two to be given dur ing October. four during November. The purpose of the course is several fold. Partly it comes as desire to seize hold of the exceptional advantag- es offered to the propinquity of a great university. And, on the other hand, the opportunity will be provided for bringing the spirit and the aims of the new Yale to a community that has all ways been deeply interested nits problems and progress. There is need of the closer touch and of the greater cooperation that the proposed course aims to promte.
 Behind the Yale extension lectures are Norwich men, some Yale men and others not, to the number of fifteen, as guaranteers of this first course In the event of the expected success of these six lectures, it is hoped t make such series a permanent thing

GAVE PRACTICAL TALK
 TO ENelNEERs ASSOCIATION
P. E. vanderwaart Spoke Upon Alter
 mating and Direct Current Motor.


 hating and Direct Current Meter.
 One of the best and most instruc- tive lectures ever given before the Norwich Association of Engineers was given Friday evening by P. F. Van- derwaart He spoke upon the subject of alternating and direct current mo- tors. Since MT. Vanderwaart Is one of the best posted men in New Eng land on electricity, he entered into all the little details which so often puzzle the engineers in his line of work with electric motors and generators. The efficiency of the induction motors was taken up and illustrations on the blackboard as we'll as by lantern slides, as was also the power factor, showing the difference between the two systems and why it Is better to run induction motors with an over load rather than a light load. Several different ways of improving the power factor were explained some having been worked out by MT. Vanderwaart in several instances in this city. His explanation of the proper speed for aitimotors of 50 cycles and also the method of regulating the voltage oi the large central station machines was very clear. In fact the lecture was well delivered and will long be re- membered by those who were able to attend.
 The night being warm, the attend ance was not large. but those who did venture out were more than re- paid for their trouble.
 MT. Vahderwaart is connected witt the city lighting station, where hi: work wins warm commendation- Ht is a graduate of Cornell university anC has made a special study of electrica machinery.
