EXTENSION WORK OF UNIVERSITY REACHES
 INTO Il COUNTIES
Classes Composed Of Mature People Who See Need Of
 Higher Education

UNIVERSITY. Ala, June 3o.- Especial. The magnitude of the extension work of the University of Alabama Is not generally understood. Established four years ago, it has grown until it reaches into many parts of the state.
 During the past year the univer- slty conducted regular classes in 1o different centers in Alabama. These centers are concentrated in II coun- ties. Birmingam and Jefferson coun- ty contain approximately 475 stu dents. The classes are composed of mature people who realize the bene- fits of higher education. There stu dents, taught by experienced men, versity of Alabama but also at other universities toward college degree.
 The courses offered last year em- braced educational sociology, Eng fish literature, history, health and sanitation. domestic science, music, economies, banking, rural sociology principles of education, test and measurements, political scieIce, high school methods, and mo:ern poetry. This summer a course in library work is being offered in Bir- rningham.
 In addition to those offered in ex- tension centers, the extension di- vision also conducts correspondence courses. These courses may be taken by isolated students anywhere in Alabama. That they are popular is evidenced by the fact that large numbers or regular students are talk ing advantage of them.
 The modern conception of uni versity Is that 1t shall serve the peo- pie of the state. With this end ir view, the extension division was created The department has been received with enthusiasm in all quar- ters. Dr. Thomas, director, states that application have been received from Anniston. Dothan, Huntsville, Mobile, Cullman, Elba. York. Mound vile, Jasper, Fayette, Tuscaloosa, Northport and Yolande. The growth Of the department is entirely de- pendent on the money al their com mand. The appropriation is very small. Many of the universities over the country are spending hundreds of thousand of dollars on their ex- tension program. The University of Alabama has $500. However, it has proven its value and it is confidently expected that more money will be forthcoming, because it is the uni versity in action for the student who cannot come to it.

 Asphalt Daily
ANNTSTON BUREAU l
 THE AGE-HERALD !

With the J. F. Morgan Paving com pany of Birmingham laying nearly block of asphalt paving daily on the lower end of Wilmer avenue and the cross streets in the business center of the city, and the grading equip ment of the same company making ready for the same kind of work on Leighton avenue, Anniston makes a strong bid for being one of the pest paved cities in the state by the time the present program is finished in the late fall.
 Starting at the corner of Tenth street and Winner avenue a little more than a week ago, the Morgan Paving company crews have already finished Winner avenue to Thirteenth street, Twelfth street from the rear of the post office to Quintard avenue and Thirteenth street and next week the equipment will be moved to the south part of Winner avenue to lay the asphalt covering between Seventh and Tenth streets.
 As soon as that section is finished and ,opened up for traffic the paving crews will be switched to the cross streets touching the residence sec tion of Tyler Hill, and Sixth and Seventh streets will be covered. the curbing and guttering having al ready been put in and the base laid on them and several other streets.
 In the southeastern section of the city between the Country club and the crest of the mountain overlook ing the city the Sunset Land com pany has already completed the work of paving the streets, laying new sidewalks and putting in sewer coi;- nections and shortly the attractive new residence addition to the city will beopened up for settlement and sale.
 In the same section of the city handsome new bungalows are going up on practically every street south of Tenth and with the paving pro gram being arranged to connect the new addition with the main arteries everything points to the fact that this city will have more newly paved streets In the next year than any other city of the same size anYWhere south of the Mason and Dixon line.
