U. of A. Reaching Out Over
 Arkansas
Prominent Men to Inspect Diamond Cave at Jasper-Setting Henry Ford's Editors Right on Arkansas Alligators.
By CLIO HARPER

By ClAiO tfAftIEH
 Special to The Star.
 Little Rock, Oct. 13.--One phase of the University of Arkansas work that is little known by the public is that of it's correspondence forces, or gen. eral extension division, as 1t is off, cially called. Many citizens of Ar kansas will be surprised to learn that there are more than 1900 stu dents enrolled in this department of the university, reaching every county in the state.
 'The map of Arkansas is the ex- tension campus as the motto of this part of the university, and the re- suits that have been accomplished during the last few years amply jus tify this slogan.
 The general extension division is divided into the colleges of engineer ing, education, arts and sciences and it is possible for any one to take a course in any study with the excep- tion possibly of chemistry and such studies as require laboratory work, by means of the Bureau of Corre- spondence instruction. These courses are open to everyone and have proven a wonderful advantage to thousands who would not be able to secure spe- cial training otherwise.
 One of the activities of the division is the supervised courses for women's study clubs, which was established last year. Arkanas is the only state where such a course has been insti- tuted. Last year, which was the be- ginning of the work, i007 club women were enrolled and practically all of them completed the course.
 Another important feature is the Department of Visual Instruction, Tn which films and slides are used for the purpose of popular education and entertainment in schools, clubs, and public meetings of all kinds turnout the state. Extensive sets of these should be in the schools of the state. ! Extensive sets of these pictures are being made, showing conditions as they are and as they should be in the i schools of the state. In this work the division is cooperating heartily l with the Forward Education Move ment and other movements that are for the uplift of the states ideals and material welfare.
 Going to school by mail," is destined to become more and more popular in Arkansas as a result of the activities of the general exten- sion division of the university.
 Diamond Cave near Jasper in New ton county will soon be visited by of i nclais of the Arkansas Advancement Assoclation and several scientists rom outside the state who are inter- Il ested m cave exploration.

How the First Diamond Was Gut

With the exception of the few stones cut in Antwerp, all the rough diamonds of the world are cut in Amsterdam. There the diamond cut ting business is carried on in between seventy and eighty establishments. which give employment to twelve thousand cutters, that is, in normal times.
 The first cutting of diamond was accomplished something like 45C years ago. The ancients knew noth- ing of the hidden beauty of the stone, called by Seneca, "The Sage whose impassability nothing can conquer But, even in the rough, the diamond won the favor of princes, and, very gradually, experiements revealed some of it's fires. Until the four teenth century enameled buttons were the chief articles of jewelry.
 In the beginning of that century when the price of enamels fell so low as to bring the decorated buttons within the reach of all purses, enam- cling lost the favor of the fine world and buttons of gold and silver, orna. nented with pearls, diamonds and colored stones took the place of the enamels. The finest of the stones then known as a diamond--a formless mass the size of a pigeons egg, was gem worn on great occasions by the king of Portugal.
 In the year 1470 when Bruges was . residence city, the court lived a life of extravagant luxury. Men and women went about in garments stiff with gold and silver ornaments, and sewed over with pearls and precious stones. But the stones were uncut and shapeless. Charles, son of the luke of Normandy, owned great diafnond, which he amused himself bv exhibiting to his schaperon;" but, as he declared it's virtue, he bewailed it's shape and it's lack of light.
 At that time one of the important jewel merchants of Zruges was served by a clerk who was native of Flanders---a young man named Louis de Berquem, who was deep in hopeless love of his masters daugh- fer. Young Berquem was on the verge of despair, when, one night. as he was hanging up his apron and pre- parIfg to go home to his attic. he saw his master bending over his bench groaning at the futility of his labor When Berquem asked, "Can I do something for you before go?n the master sneered:
 Yes, bring me tool that will cut these accursed stones 1 will give fortune to the man who does it.s
 From that hour the boy thought of nothing but to find means of eonouer- ing the hardness of the diamond. An day he did the bidding of his master. xlI night he sat at a rough bench in hIs attic trying to make some impress sion on stone stolen from the work room. One night he fell asleep at his bench, and dreamed that an angel said to him; "Iron is the master cut Ger. steel is iron purified Take the file, get powder; take thy steel and powder 1t, then cuti"
 Berquem awoke. He fixed two dia- monds in wise, filed like mad. and collected the fallen dust. That done he made a set of little wheels and Nith wheels well powdered with the ziamond dust. set to work to win a ortune. Some days later he stood be- ore his master. and in his outstretch- | palm lay brilliant whose facets leaned with light. h

A Common Error.

If the differentiation between the
auxiliary verbs "shall" and will" did
not serve a very useful purpose its
disregard by all sorts Of people, from
cub reporters to public officials and
platform orators, might be less
worthy of comment. None Of these
people, presumably, wishes to dupli-
cate the error of the miscrcant who,
finding himself unexpectedly in deep
water, undertook to express despair
with that oft-quoted cutlery, "Oh, I
will drown; nobody shall help me-"
Yet they are all headed in the same
direction. And what shall one say of
this well-known Harvard professor,
who, in the college newspaper a day
or two ago, signed this official notice:
IL will be unable to meet my classes
this week.? Certainly if the profess
sor's inability to do his work is mat
ter Of his own volition, there must be
serious question as to his worthincss
for a faculty position in a great uni
versity. And if it is not a matter of
his volition, how dare he publicly Of
fer such an example of incorrect Fig
lish to the whole student body, let
alone outsiders ?--Christian Science
