"The state at school-' is the phrase coined by a noted magazine writer to describe the University of Wisconsin, and this phrase suggests the dominant Ideal in the state university today. Whenever training is possible, the lack of train ing means social waste. This Is why the states are employing the agency of their state universities to furnish to all classes such training as they can receive. Wisconsin has as many students scattered through the state, on farms, in factories and workshops, stores and offices, as on the university campus. These pursue, at nominal cost, courses which contribute direct ly to fit them for hlgner grades of work, and which, without the aid of the university's correspondence de partment, they could either not pro cure at all, or could procure only at a very large aggregate expense. All of the other states supporting state uni versities are following Wisconsin's lead in this matter. University as Social Engineer. The commonwealth service Ideal In volves much more, however, than merely ministering to the needs of In dividuals here and there. It means leadership in effecting improvements In general ocial conditions through a higher type of municipal government, social surveys courses of lectures giv en to large groups of persons on eco nomic, social, historical, literary and scientific subjects by university pro fessors in local study centers like schools and libraries. It Involves, also suggestions for-scientific surveys along various lines of state conservation and the supplying, mainly through its graduate school, of experts to serve state boards and commissions, like the railroad commission, tax cotnmis sion, and the bureau of comparative legislation in short, in every field where modern training counts toward efficiency, productiveness and the elevation of social life. Ore-son Abreast of the Times. Our own university has already an enviable record of service through its correspondence school, as letters from men in mining camps and logging camps, as well as from men and wo men in the more usual walks of life, abundantly attest. It is the purpose of the administration to push forward this phase of the work by making the facilities more nearly adequate to the demands upon them. Field Sociology. It Is also the expectation of the de partment of sociology to develop the work already begun In fild sociology making social surveys of type com munities, analyzing community needs and the forces which might be utilized In improving conditions, co-ordinating toward the end the most helpful lines of social activity. Tito University Advisory Bureau. Iu jine with these activities is the recent organization at the university of "The tfnlverslty .Advisory Bureau," whose a"'"1 is to make all extension vork of uti??st value to the state. The bureau con".'s of those mem bers of the faculty v"nsei fPial training and scientific Interest besf't them to advise local comraunu.68 along such lines of municipal organ ization water' and lighting supplies, ventilation and Illumination, roads and pavements, parks, architectural prob lems, power and Irrigation problems, etc. It is not the purpose of this bu reau In any manner to compete with established concerns In carrying out the details of any Improvement pro ject, but rather to act only in a more general advisory capacity, supplying es It can readily do from the de partments the preliminary informa tion which may enable any commu nity to take the best ana safest final action, -The School of Sanitary Science. In accordance wi'h suggestions by members of the Oregon medical fra ternity, there is under organization at the university what may be Called school of sanitary science. This will make still more effective the work of the advisory bureau, and help the state, It la hoped, to solve the press ing problems of health through scien tifically purified water supplies and SPECIAL EXTRAORDINARY OFFER ROIUJER CATARRH.
