THE STATEWIDE CAMPUS
By Frederic J. Haskin.

The ideal university takes the state
for it's campus. In this way pro-
fessor of the University of Wisconsin
tried to express the ideal of the mod
arn college, and one which the Wis
consin institution has gone long way
toward realizing
The professor meant simply that If
4 state university is to be worth the
support of the people it must be worth
something to all of the people who
want to learn. This is the biggest
idea in modern education. The old con
ception of university was that OF a
little group of scholars cloistcred away
from the world, their liyes dedicated
to a scholarship which was essentially
Tor the few

dents save n desire to learn something

in bureaus.
The correspondence work alone COW
ers thirty distinct subjects, and one
may obtain a degree at the University
of Wisconsin doing all of his work at
home over 5000 students were
rolled last year in this department, and
good many of them were in other
states and even in foreign countries.
over 800 distinct courses were taught,
including seventy subjects in engineer
ing alone.
The lecture department of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin includes 20
courses of lectures for small towns,
taught by travelling lecturers. An idea
of how education has been extended by
these means may be gained from the
fact that these lectures reached about
a quarter of a million auditors in Wis
consin last year. Regular instruction
in classes just like that given at the
university itself has been established
by the University of Wisconsin in
twenty cities. The classes are
taught by resident and travelling in
structors, and in six of the cities regu-
lar headquarters have been established
with offices and classrooms. so that
there is practically little university.
BY supplementing a correspondence
course with these local lectures
Young man who is unable to leave his
work may, nevertheless, gain a thor
ough education. The practicability of
the idea has been tnOTOuRnly demon
strated, especially in engineering.

with Its Ave different bureaus. These
are known as the municipal reference,
civic and social center. health instruc-
ton, community music and visual In
struction bureaus.
Through these formidably named in
stitutions there is scarcely a phase of
life that the university cannot reach
and help. For example, If some little
town in Wisconsin wants to be reor-
ganized as a borough, or incorporated
as a city, the university, through its
municipal reference bureau, will give
expert advice. If town is going to
build a new waterworks, the municipal
bureau will send down a hydraulic en-
gineer to help it out with practical
problems In addition to this specific
help the bureau is a medium for the
bringing of specialists and experts into
cooperation with local officials 1t Ia
able to focus the knowledge of the
world upon any corner OF its enormous
campus.
The bureau of community music has
resulted In the organization of many
musical clubs throughout Wisconsin.
One secret of it's success is that #
appeals to the love of his mother
country's traditions which is always
latent in the immigrant, and not at all
| inconsistent with his being a patriotic
American. Programs of Welsh Ger

published by the university bureau and

the state. The bureau also publishes

rural areas where schools are still
primitive. For long time there can
not be too much education, especially
practical education, in the United
States. Moreover, Europe is a land
of classes. where people stay put. But
America is a land of evolution. where
men may rise from the soil to places
of power in about three generations
and often slide back again when wealth
has spoiled the quality of their sand.
American society may be crude, but it
stands on its merits. Competition is
it's lifeblood, and widespread education
is what makes this competition pos
sible.

is the answer to those who say it is not
worth it's cost. The central institu-
tion is not weakened by it's extension
work for this is all controlled by CO.
ordinate college which has its own
corps of sixty-six instructors and ad-
ministratoTs.
The idea of extending education be-
yond the college walls began some ten
years ago in the University of Wis
consin and the University of Chicago,
with the delivery of d few lectures by
professors of those institutions in the
cities where they were located. From
this beginning at the University Of
Wisconsin was developed an elaborate
system which is being taken in some
degree as a pattern by numerous other
state universities

This new ideal of university educa-
ton certainly seems to be the one APP
rropriate to democracy; vet it is now
under fire Some critics are claiming
that the expense is too great ana
others assert that the central institu-
ton is weakened by it's numerous
branches While the idea is being sed-
uIouSly copied in many other states,
III Wisconsin, where it originated, 1t is
being asSailed. and change in the
state administration threatens reduced
appro oriations for the extension work.
Undoubtedly. the objectors have some
thing on their side: there is such a
thing as too much education, especial
ly of the higher sort In Germany, for
example. the universities and the pro-
fessions are crowded with bald-headed.
stoop-shouldered. bespectacled students
who have formida BILE degrees, but are
scarcely able to make a living. Many
who should have graced a pillow handle
