"GREATER COLLEGE."
Extension Work Rapidly Forging
to the Front and Proving Itself
to be Marked Success.
The movement management in-
augurated during the past two years
for the purpose of extending and
perfecting the extension of the
sphere of influence and usefulness of
the college has recently been put
upon a firmer foundation than ever
before, and
meeting with ap

preciation gen

the coming year,
Beginning with the Agricultural
Instruction train, under the super
vision of Dean Hunt and Professor
Agee, extending to the Departments
of Engineering and of Mining, the
work, has been one of helpful in
struction to men of many occupa
tions in the diversified industries of
the state. Next year trains similar
to the successful enterprise of the
Agricultural Department Will be sent
out ,upon the road by both the
School of Engineering and the
School of Mines and Metallurgy.
Both the latter schools have been
doing' work outside of our college
world to meet the demand for help
coming from men who have not the
means nor time for a college course;
the School of Engineering in the
apprentice schools at Williamsport
and Altoona and the School of
Mines by lectures and demonstra-
on" movement have

STATE COL
tions given throughout th.! state.
As yet, however, the work has not
been organized regularlY into an
efficiently self conducting system
embracing the needs of the peciple
of the state g t enerally, but it is
hoped before long to perfect such
an organ,zation,
At a conference held last Melnday
between the President of the-col- -
I
lege, Deans of ,the Schd Is, and _a
party of officials ,of th Pennsyl
vania railroad, the quest on of the
manner, of conducting the work for_
t
the coriin year was the hief topic
of discusion: The P nnsylvani
railroad men are particularly [in
terested owing to the work done by
the college instructors in th 4 4p

Williamsport, established this,
spring, and were so Well pleas d by
it that it was 'decided to hol the
school sessions the year round and
open them to apprectices inl' their
third year, of work, as well as to the
fourth year men. Owing to tte ob-
I
vions restriction of time availa le to
men' engaged in work at the same
time, the instruction will not e the
equivalent of a college course in en
gineering, still, it will prove itself
of great value and doubtless ill be
a welcome help to those who have
perhaps neither the money nor time
to spare i for an extended course.
In adlition, as mtntioned_ above,
the Engineering School will rnn an
instruction train in full econorny and
smoke prevention over the railroad
lines of the state, and the School of
Mines will run an instructior train
for miners, delivering illustrated

excellent record,ibut at the same
