'he ixtvnninn Evpetrtmmt y ,yy ITH the passing ol' the years, the place ol' the Extension Depart- :Qi 5 V , ment in the great colleges and universities has becolne perma- ' nent and its value clearly apparent. In the fierce battle ot' lite, igfggjgjl an education is at once the sword by which a man carves his l ' way through the opposition ol' vice and ignorance, and the shield which repels the shafts ot' his adversaries. If, through the medium ot' the pen and the llltlll, a man acquires that knowledge which he seeks, why should those who grumble lt can't be done deny him the chance to acquire that knowledge? No longer may the intlu- ence of Highland Park College be confined within its walls, but it shall come to be known as never before to lmndreds ol' teachers desiring to attain greater etticiency, but unable to attend college, to workmen who desire to render better service and receive greater reniunerationg to prairie home, to mountain cabin a11d to the isles ol' the sea, through the untiring efforts of the Extension Department. Hundreds ot' pounds of textbooks and typewritten letters, prepared by the l'aculty'ot' the College, are sent annually through the mails. to students, who in turn study as directed, write answers and .send their lllZlIlllSC1'1lJl.S.lO tl1e Col- lege and receive a ain their manuscripts corrected and criticised by the faculty. It' a stuc ent, who completes .an Extension course, is able to secure a grade of 80 per cent or more in the tmal examination, written llI1KlC1' the supervision ot' a County Superintendent, he must know the subject as thoroughly as the man who recited to the taculty in the class room. Aye, more, the Extension student has recited upon the entire text, the resident student upon a part only. From Sept. 1, 1914, to Sept. 1, 1915, the Department enrolled 1,253 students, whose enrollment contracts aggregated 31429310.45 and cash enrollments ?lSl,265.70, or a total ot' PlS31,076.15. Two lmndred and o11e ol' these enrollments were of irresponsible people, whose contracts totaled f144,73'7.00, making a true enrollment ot' 1,052 bona tide students at a total amount of fli26,339.15. The heights by great men reached and kept, Were not attained by sudden flight, But they, while their companions slept, Were toiling upward in the night. O, let us, then, be up and doing, With a heart for any fate, Still achieving, still pursuing, Lcar11 to labor and to waitf' JAS. F. PAGE, Director.
