THE CHICAO CLEANERS & DYERS Phone B-3018 HARRY LYONS, Mgr. We Klean Klothes Klean 315 So. 11th Street The aim of the chancellor and tlx board of regents of the state univer sity Is to make the institution u school of the people, by the peopli and for the people. They are liylng to bring the university and the till tens In the state Into closer and closer touch, lo give everyone a cliaiin- to enjoy the highest possible education at the smallest possible cost. This part of the university is really doing an enormous amount of work but it Is done so quietly that few even ol tho.-e en the campus realize the extent tr. which the extension department reaches. Since 1912 when the present 'stall took up the work there have been registered in the extension depart ment approximately 1.500 stmients The growth has been steady with, however, u remarkable increase dur Ing the war. This increase was due to the tact that courses in home nursing, (list aid and some wors for soldiers as with traclois was icgis- tered through the extension depart ment. It is a misleading statctuent. however, for those who register are apt to continue their work for many years and, no matter how many .imes they register, they are only counted once in the extension department as new students. The year number sig nifies from the first of September lor twelve months. 191213 ?; lsl;Ml 142 lsH-15 150 191516 202 1916 17 211 1917 IS '36(5 191 S 19 272 Knding with the fust of the present month the past twelve months saw 306 students actively pursuing work in the extension department. Gi:e hundred and fifty-six have completed work for which they have been legis tered. One cause lor the increased interest in extension work is that eachers use it for improving and re newing their certificates. A great many teachers and others out in the state keep in touch with the univers ity by pursuing one or two courses at a time. Most of the nirarrv a horn three hours credit work for the se mester. This would be equivalent lo about nine hours' work per week A student may carry an amount not to exceed one-half of the work for k de gree in extension. Some students be gin their university work thus; oth ers ai mto finish by extension when almost through. One young man went to the Philippines and finished tnere braska and has kept it up.

That instant ri i c ... years development, research and manufacturing in electric lighting. 3 s EDISOVS FIRST LAMP And this development commenced with wws -ii bi lamp nana-made, when electricity wa3 rare. The General Electric Company was a pioneer in foreseeing the possibilities of Edison's invention. Electric generators were developed. Extensive experiments led to the design and construction of apparatus which would obtain electric current from far-away waterfalls and deliver it to every city home. With power lines well distributed over the country, the use of electric lighting extended. Street lighting developed from the flickering arc to the great white way. Electric signs and floodlights made our cities brilliant at night, searchlights turned night into day at sea, and minia ture lamps were produced for the miner's headlight and automobile. While the making of the electrical indus try, with its many, many interests, was developing, the General Electric Com pany's laboratories continued to improve the incandescent lamp, and manufacturing and distributing facilities were provided, so that anyone today can buy a lamp which is three times as efficient as the lamp of a few years age 2E m i General Office Co (III?
