DISTINGUISHED GUEST
His Excellency Mirza Ali Kuli
Khan, Persian Minister to the
United States, Will Visit the Col-
lege on Pennsylvania Day
The students of the Pennsylvania
State college are to be honored on
Pennsylvania Day by having His
Excellency Mirza Ali Kuli Khan,
Persian Minister to United States
here as one of the distinguished
guests of the day.
His Excellency has lived in
America about 13 years, and during
his stay he has devoted a part of
his time to lecturing on art, poetry
and philosophy. He has also
devoted a number of years of his
life to the translation of noted
hooks from Persian and Arabian in
to'the English language. For the
ast six years, His Excellency has
been connected with the Persian
Legation, first acting in the capacity
of Secretary and Consul, and then
about three and one half years ago
returning from a trip to Persia, and
from that time on acting as the Im
perial Government's only Diploma
tic Representative in America,
His Excellency was ordered by the
Persian Government to engage
American financial advisors for
Persia, and consequently he pro
cured the services of Mr. W. Mor
gan Shuster, and his assistants,
through the American government
to reorganize the Persian finances.
Every college man, and every
student of foreign affairs is ac
quainted with Mr. Shuster's career
in Persia.
In 1904 His Excellency married
Miss Florence Breed of Boston, a
cultured and highly educated lady,
who has already received a very
high title and two Decorations of
Learning from the Persian govern
ment.
His Excellency was graduated
with full honors from the Imperial
University of Teheran, Persia, when
16 years old, and he later studied
European and Eastern philosophy
and literature at home and abroad.
His standing at the Imperial Uni
versity is equivalent to our degree
of Doctor of Philosophy.
Those who follow up the ac
counts of our newspapers will know
that the Persian Minister is a man,
who is not alone a diplomat of in
tegrity and of keen perception, but
that he is also a distinguished
scholar, and that his activity along
literary and philosophical lines is far
reaching and very pronounced.
It is certain that every Penn
State student looks forward with
especial interest and anticipation to
see Mirza Ali Kuli Khan, the
Pei sian Minister.

Extension Work
During the past few years the
school of Agriculture has been
mailing to various persons in the
state, systematic courses in various
agricultural subjects. When these
courses were completed satis
factorily a certificate of proficiency
was awarded to the student for his
work and study. This system
worked out so well and afforded
the man who could not come to
college such splendid opportunities
to receive an education and better
fit himself for his work that they
were broadened and are now being
taken up in connection with the
school of Engineering.
The essential idea back of this
extension work is to give an op
portunity for an education to all
people of the state. Every em
ployed man knows he needs a
certain training for the job higher
up. Every excutive realizes that
his most serious problem is the in
efficiency of his employees. When
a man knows the "why" as well as
the "how"; he increases his effi
ciency considerably and in so do
ing obtains a corresponding in
crease in wage. With this aim in
view the Engineering Department
has taken up the work and is offer
ing courses in shop arithmetic, ad
vanced shop mathematics, shop
sketching, mechanical (shop) draw
ing and plumbing.
The lesson sheets and books re
quired, are furnished for mere cost
by the department and they are
carefully prepared by men of long
experience in this line of work.
Each course consists of twenty les
sons or assignments and is sent out
each week for home study. The
classes are organized in various
communities and a capable in
structor under the direction and
supervision of the department is
placed in charge. The cost of
each course of twenty lessons is
five dollars including question
sheets and the services of an in
structor. Each student completing
the course in a satisfactory manner
will receive a certificate of profi
ciency signed by his instructors,
the Secretary of the local Associa
tion directing the work, and by
the Director of Engineering Exten
sion, Professor J. A. Moyer.
Efficiency Conference
Last week the Pennsylvania In
dustrial Welfare and Efficiency
Conference was held in Harrisburg.
The college had an attractive booth
in the exhibit held in connection
with the Conference, the exhibit
consisting of photographs, statis
tical charts, etc. illustrating the
various phases of the college work,
Messrs. Bowl).Ian, Brow, Calder
wood, Diemer, Moyer, and Walker
of the School of Engineering were
in attendance at times during the
conference. Professor Diemer
presented a paper on "Methods of
Labor Compensation".
