wendell p. Raine and Professor Pier
son of the Wharton School faculty,
who commenced an active campaign
among prominent Harrisburg men.
Harrisburg Newspapers Big Factors
In connection with the plan of ad-
Vertising the school, it is interesting
to note the part played by newspa-
pers. According to the report of the
preliminary work, by Professor Paine,
46 per cent. OF the students enrolled
first learned fthe proposed school
through news items and advertise
ments. Fourteen newspapers helped
in the movement; about 1000 inches
OF newspaper material appeared, and
also number of editorials, seven of
which appeared in the Harrisburg
Telegraph. Three cartoons alsowere
printed in the Telegraph.
or the three Harrisburg dailies, the
Patriot had 106 inches of news: the
star r-lndependent, 326, and the Tele-
graph 421 inches. The Patriot had 90
inches of paid matter, the Star-Inde-
pendent, 1872, and the Telegraph, 1872
inches.

School Has Social Side
AS the students are becoming better
acquainted, social affairs are on the
increase. The school life is not all
grind. and the fellows look forward
to three years of pleasure as well as
great advancement in knowledge OF
practical helpfulness. There is an air
of good times in the class room dur
ing intervals between lectures, and
oftentimes some of the tricksters of
the crowd are up to their waggery.
Figure onT'his
The other evening one of them put
on the blackboard the following test
questions in accounting for to test the
ability of the professor: John had
two cents; Tom had cents: Willie
had cents; Mary had 10 cents. Who
had the most money? Who had the
least money? Did Tom have more
cents than Willie? Did Mary have
more cents than Willie? How many
cents did John have? Which boy
had the most money!" 1t is said the
Philadelphia professor was puzzled for
a time.

That Harrisburg is worthy to be
called an educational outpost of the
University of Pennsylvania, and is de-
Ssrving of all the privileges extended
by the home institution, has been
proved by the three months that have
passed since the Wharton Extension
School of Finance and Commerce was
started in the large hall on the top
floor of the Technical High School.
AS the time approaches for the pay

of S25, at the beginning of the Sec
ond semester, February l, the con-
tinuation of enthusiasm among the
more than $50 students revives the
courage in the hearts of the local
sponsors of the enterprise. The edu-
cation committee of tho Rotary Club,
the organization committee of local
businessmen and educators, and the
University of Pennsylvania alumni
who were the means of bringing the
night school to Harrisburg, are all
highly elated at the success so far,
and feel sure of being able to secure
the required number of 100 new stu

year.

Three Year Course
The course Of study consists of three
years, costing $50 a year tuition. The
additional total expense for books and
paraphernalia is about S1o. Through
the efforts of State Librarian T. l..

books have been furnished at the state
Library. The Harrisburg city library

and advertising. industrial manage
ment real estate, insurance, invest

of the course. the student is awarded
a certificate of proficiency Identical
with those given at the evening school
in Philadelphia.
The instruction is based on two
fundamentals: First, to give men en-
gagged in business a comprehensive
survey OF business facts, that are i'm

develop the power of analysis, enabl-

The teaching staff is composed of
members of the faculty in the day and
evening departments of the Wharton
School in Philadelphia, and of success

subjects in which they are authorities.
Classes are Informal
Each subject is given in a lecture
every other week, with a review of
the work the alternate week by an
other member of the faculty, a quiz
master, who intimately questions the
students. The class of more than $50
is as informal as a primary school, the
instructor calling on individuals by
name and getting into personal
acquaintance with the crowd. Several
of the professors call the students
boys and girls" and crack jokes as
freely as some of our city high school
teachers.

Although 1t is too early yet to give
a definite statement of material re-
| suits, 1t has been learned that several
men have received salary raises lately
and practically every one talked to
says he has been able to apply in his
daily work some of the new things
learned in the lectures. Among the
alumni of the evening school in Phila-
delphia, where more than 5000 men
have taken the same course as is be-
ing given here, a census recently taken
showed that graduates of the school
average in annual increase of salary

Going to the same school brings into
intimate contact bankers, accountants,
office clerks, statesmen. stenographers,
cashiers and office managers. Before
and after classes and during the fif-
ten minute recess every night, they
can be seen gathering in little groups.

X student enrolled in AgaSsiZs class For several days AgassiZ paid no atten lion to him whatever. At length, tired of standing around idle. the student asked AgassiZ to give him something to do. Agassiz's reply was to hand him Il herring and to say Study this" The student was bewildered. but set about studying" it The next day Agassiz asked him what he had learned about the herring. The. student replied that 1t had two eyes. so many fins and such and such markings.

 The next day and the next the expe- rience was repeated The fourth day Agassiz again demanded information desperate attempt at humor the stu dent replied. Well. it's the same on both sides.

 Obviously. that student learned more from that one lesson about the scien tific method of study than he would have learned in q years reading and lectures. The textbooks would have taught him the facts: Agassiz taught him the method of learning all facts Worlds Work.

 Alaska should nc longer be called .'No Mans Land." Alaska is our from tier wonderland. and by united efforts we must make it the empire of the north. 1t is not Every Mans Land be- cause it will not tolerate weaklings; but to the thoroughbred it will offer indescribable Inducements. It is q ter ritory unique ill it's geographical situa tion. i'll its climate. ill it's physical beauties. Point Barrow. it's northern most cape. is warmer than any point i'll the world as far north of the equa tor. It's southern shores are likewise warmer than any point in the world in similar attitudes during the winter months as the result of the influence of the Japan current.
 Isothermal lines show that some of the southeastern sections have a eli mate more temperate and more equa- ble than that of Washington. Its two climatic belts are known as the coast region and the interior. The coast re- zion is rainy. has mild winters and cool summers. The interior region is. for the uOSl Ilolits uly ustS SCNClC WlHIClS dAu short but warm summers.
