ing that public schools of art and in
dustry be established for women, and

- University extension is producing a
good effect, not only upon its students,
but also upon itsi lecturers and teachers
and upon the student body of the uni
versities. 'College presidents are al
ready finding that the men who go ont
as lecturers in the university extension
courses are doing better work in their
own classes. The eff irt to please and
instruct a promiscuous and popular
audience reacts npou the university1
class-room; the individual needs of the
students are more carefully studied ; the
teaching is modined to meet them, anl
professor and student come into moro
sympathetic relations. All the large
universities report increased numbers:
and experience is ' proving that uni
versity extens-on tends to create a nni-t
versity influence, and that university
extension means university intension.
