Lack of space also forbids me to explain the part which a teachers ' college would have in the development of a true concep- tion of the social and educational value of play and in the training of efficient playground workers. For well trained leaders in this movement there is an increasingly large demand. I may take time only to mention the work which such an in- stitution should perform in extending to teachers in actual service throughout the state the benefits of graduate instruction. The ex- tension work of the university represents some of its most im- portant effort. For such extension work, to be given by the teachers ' college and aiming especially to serve the needs of those who are engaged during the academic year, there is at the present time a very strong appeal.

The President and his assistants are working as they have never worked before, publishing bulletins on the Teachers ' College bill presented recently before the State legislature, and consulting with legislators and educational authorities through- out California. The faculty is none the less active. Each member is doing his best to make the classes under his instruc- tion so thorough and scientific, that little enlargement would be necessary should college courses be defined. The officers of the Alumni Association are organizing movements among the grad- uates of the school for the furthering of the progress already made. And, most of all, each student is doing his part by prov- ing, through conscientious work and earnest endeavor, that the school merits this honor.
