month and to make estimates and levy assessments to meet the expenses of each coming month. The bills for rent of class-rooms, for light, fuel and water are thus paid by the students, each man meeting his assessments as levied by the Executive Committee. The constitution contains a set of elaborate rules for maintaining order during class hours. To the credit of the students be it said, these rules are almost useless for so earnest are the men in their work, so appreciative of their opportunity and considerate toward their in- structor that disciplining has proven unnecessary. Best of all in the work is the real definite aim which each man has in view. They strive not merely to get a degree nor to do their work because some one has said it was the proper thing to do, but to obtain useful knowledge ap- plicable to daily life and a better understanding of their regular vocations. The University extension course possesses a material advantage over that of the regular college in as much as it is more evenly balanced as to theory and practice. What the members of the Comstock class do in the morning in the recitation-room is probably repeated in the afternoon as actual daily work. This constant application ofthe knowl- edge gained keeps up a thorough interest and accounts largely for the rapid progress which is being made. Class meetings are held in the rooms of the old historic Washoe Club, at one time one of the wealthiest society organizations in the United States. Much of the old furniture still remains and books, draughting instruments and drawing boards lie scattered over billiard and card tables where drawing of a different kind formerly went on and thousands of dollars onen changed hands at the turn of a card. The fumes from the laboratory now penetrate the rooms once filled with the odor of the fragrant Havana. How strange it is that this place, so 'typical of the old, restless, gambling spirit of the West, should become the scene of the efforts of men to attain success by the slow but sure route of daily study. It prophesies much for the period of steady and stable growth upon which our State is now entering, the times of ex- citement and speculation with their consequent terrible reaction having been passed through. It is to be hoped that many more of our towns will soon have classes as well organized, as earnest and as successful as the Comstock Class in Mining and Metallurgy in' Virginia City. 23
