TRIBUTE TO PROF. STEELE

The work and purpose of the Har-
risburg Extension School of the Uni
versity of PENNSYLVANIA was described
in detail TO the students of the Cen
trail high school to-day by Wendell p
Raine, instructor in commercial law
in the Wharton school of the Univer-
sity.
Mr.. Raine paid a high tribute to the
late Professor w. S. Steele, the Cen
trail principal, who recently died, say
ing that he was largely responsible
for the establishing of the Harrisburg
extension. Mr.. Raine said of Mr..
Steele:
ITO your late principal must be
given much credit for the successful
establishment of the school. When L
first called on Professor Steele and
told him the purpose of my mission
! his eyes shone with enthusiasm and
from that moment l never had another
doubt as to the successful launching
of the Harrisburg extension school.
You must remember, if any of you be-
come students at this school, that he
/ had part in giving you your oppor-
| tunity. l wish also that you were to
have him as your quizmaster in bust
ness law but that privilege is denied
YOU. His long years of pedagogic
| training and his legal knowledge made
| him the logical choice for that posi-
ton, and you know from the students
/ who worked with him fast Fall that
our choice was well made. The eX-
I tension school has lost strong man."
Work of Extension School
Mr.. Raine said that among others
who are aiding the Harrisburg eX-
tension school are Dr. Samuel T..
Shope. c. Harry Kain and DIR. Thomas
Lynch Montgomery. Speaking of the
work of the extension school Mr.. Raine
said:
Now what is it that these men,
! Professor Steele and others, have
brought to Harrisburg for you? What
is this extension school?
| First of all, let me impress upon
YOU that that the extension school is
just as much a part of the University
| of Pennsylvania as is the evening
school at the University buildings in
| Philadelphia. There come here to
| Harrisburg the same professors that
! are giving the courses in Philadelphia
| and for the most part the same quiz
masters. You matriculate as students
| of the University. You become their
members of that University and you
receive a certificate from that Uni
Versity just as YOU would if YOU were to
take the night work in Philadelphia
instead of Harrisburg. The Univer-
slty claims you and honors you as its
own.
What are the courses you receive?
ne Univ cTSltS bullellIl SHOWS you Jnat
plainly. But l shall run through the
courses in the order in which they
are listed. Commercial law, my own
subject; accounting, money and bank
ing, corporation finance, governmental
regulation of business. selling and ad-
vertising, industrial management and
cost accounting. real estate, insurance
and investments.
You pay a yearly fee of fifty dol
lars. You receive instruction four
nights of every week from October un-
after you have completed these sub
jects-after a period of three years.
THE University is brought right TO
your very door. Even for those of you
who plan, imm ediately upon the COM
pletion of your school course, to take
position there is still opportunity
for you to continue your studies and
to continue those studies along prac-
teal, scientific lines. You see you can
do one of two things: Study with us
1 because YOU have a position and want
to fit yourself the better for that
position with the practical business
knowledge and training we give you;
or YOU take the course to prepare
yourself for a position in the future
In either case the University of Penn
sylvania is serving you. 1t will con-
tinue to serve you students of Harris
burg so long as YOU wish it
In conclusion Mr. Raine gave a brief
resume of the courses given in the
Harrisburg extension school.
Mr. Raine announced that a COM
plete description of the courses can be
had by applying at the Central high
school, and at the Chamber of Com
merce headquarters in the Kunkel
building.
