EDUCATION OUTSIDE

{
 The z educational significance of other than school agencies Is empha-i sized in a current survey of educa- tionaI progress just issued by the United States Bureau of Education:
 ''Libaries, museums and art gallec- fes are unlocking their treasures, and seeking to establish a very direct re- lation to organized school workI de- c1ares w. Carson Ryan, Jr.. editor of the bureau. Numerous other agen- cies and organizations are doing a work whose direct educati ional inf1u@ eence must in the aggregate be enor- nous. There are the 300 educational associations, many of them, like the. National Education Association and it's branches. doing direct work in the professional education of teachers. and school Nsuperintendents; others,s like the National Society for the Promo tion of Industrial Educatio on, carrying on a propaganda. for education among the general public; and still others, like the Public Education Associations of New Y ork and Philadelphia, inves- tigating city conditions and stimulat- ing an interest in education among the people of the local community. Or ganizations like the Russell Sage Foundation, and the General Educa-s ton Board, have brought into the work of education the we1comesinfu- ence of an impersonal, scientific judg- ment. No record of the year in edu-~ cation would be complete that did not pay tribute to the work these prgani- cations and others of the kind are doing.
 Colleges. universities and normal schools are going far beyond their own walls in carrying education<to the local communities. Nearly half the colleges in the United States did ex- tension work last year. The Federal governme entg itself is realizing, as never before, the desirability of wide dis tribution of the scientific information it has collected at large expense of time and money, and many of the bulletins and circulars issued by the government are now affecting directly the everyday procedure of education. The Boys and Girls club work in the Department of Agriculture and the circular letter service of the Bureau of Education illustrate two different t ypes of the information service of the Federal government, both of re- cent development. Tn the two years ending June 80. 1914. the Bureau of Education issued 112 numbers of it's

praise for Nebraskas great development
from waste virgin soil 20 thousands OF
square miles OF agricultural activity. and
he emphasized the Importance Of the his

OF the Indians he said; These Ameri-
can races are also disappearing as the
races OF old disappeared-the Babylon

the Montexumas. Their languages will
soon become dead and unspoken like
unto the languages OF the Hebrews and

fully repay"
