Our singers, our actors and our speakors need fresher and moro enthusiastic audiences. For a brighter sympathy, a Iteonor and moro inclslvo intorost not only in the quality of tho performance, but in the strivings of tho aotojs for proficiency, there is no ntadlenco which has the prospects of tho ono In which our fathers and mothers aro seated. Of tho many good things that can be said in favor of a state-wide oxhi'bitlon of student talont, not tho least impor tant ndvantago is tho pedagogical gain which results from an Indefinite num ber of chances nnd places to sing, to act and to speak.

Tho result of extension training was plain ly shown in tho superior easo arid de livery of tho Minnesota debaters horo In December. ThiB same valuablo ex perience, to say nothing of tho mak towns of tho state, would alike come ing of many now acquaintances and tho seeing of the most Important contact between the stuaents who re coivo education and the people who Biipport It, has the superior advantage of responding to certain very definite and tangible needs. Tho plan for a University' WeoK in each of the main centers of tho state Is already familiar to the students of tho University, and through tho influ ence of interesting and able com ments, springing spontaneously from separated sections of student citizen ship, and published in the columns of tho Daily Nebraskan, It is rapidly com mending Itself to their approval. The Btudent no doubt sees in University Week an enlarged opportunity for his own personal training and equipment; more practice, more acquaintances, moro f acts about tho geography of hls- slato. In such. studies as .muBlc,-dra-. matlca and debate, after a few rudi mentary and scattered principles of tho science aro mastoredltho guide to proficiency in the art 1b practice. between the students nnd tho people. This compact will either relieve or in crease tho anxiety which is felt by per sons having children who spend four critical years of their lives away from the curtailments of tho home. When this hour of contact arrives, it is the duty of tho student representing the University on that occasion to show. by his general conduct as well as by bis ability that ttiore exists in the Untverslt.i)f. .Nebraska, a.vety excep tional opportunity for decency, cul ture and efficiency; and that each I student working for himself is -taking I the best possiblo advantage of tho.' existing opportunity. This is, of -what unique form of visitation called course, a very obvious principle, and j University Weeks, The University it Dears repetition only DecauBo of the Week is a six-day program abnductod To tho University It will bo a great service.

Largely becauso of safeguards which have brought it within tho prin ciple enunoiatcd above, the extension of student activities by tho University of Minnesota has been a pronounced success. But tho expenses of students representing tbo "University on such occasions have not bqen paidby tho University, out of funds derived from state taxation,. Tho students ropro s6ntlng the Unlvorplty oh such'occa slons have not been drunk or oven boisterous and unseemly in tho pres ence of a constituency that looks for more than ordinary restraint from education. And the quality of tho Bongs, the nets and tho talks produced i "by "students on such occasions has beon-free-from-the-exceBSr-immodesty- and extravagance against which, In students especially, tho natural con servatism of a rural community re bels. The University students do well to promote Extension Week; for Exten slon Week promotes greater harmony and appreciation between tho students and tho peoplo. But tho result of such harmony must not be a poorer Impres sion; ,It must be a better impression. Tho activities must be solf-flunDortln:. tho-studont-ropresentatlvos'-must be Boirrestraineu, and the performance in each of many towns throughout the state. In the summer of 1913 twenty four towns participated in the circuit. During these six days the effort was to present in epitome as many as pos siblo of tho widespread activities of tho 'University. Membors of tho fac ulty lectured on a' weat "variety -of sub jects, the Qleo Club gave concerts, the debating societies held dobates, the Dramatic Club gave performances of one or two plays, various musical or ganizations save concerts, there were talks to business men at noon-day lunches, and talkB tb women's clubs in. the afternoons. Tho ultimate purpose Is to stimulate the construction forces for each community and to produce permanent effects. It Is a singularly successful way of making the people fc Mlnnosota well acquainted with- their University. It is proposed In tho summer of 1914 to extend these Weeks to still othor towns.'- Tho school charges each town a set sum, and the town may do as it sees fit in regard to charging the people. Most towns charge admission to at least the evening ontortalnmonts. Tho Weeks aro limited to two weeks In June and always como during ex amination week and the- following commencement week.
