Excerpt from University Extension: An Address Delivered Before the Wisconsin Teachers' Association, at Madison, December 29, 1890
In the carrying out of the courses, various auxiliary means are made use of to give effectiveness and interest. A syl labus, containing an analysis of each lecture, a list of refer ence and text-books on the subject, quotations, statistics, subjects for short essays, or papers by the students, is a common, indeed a nearly universal, expedient. In some in stances, a traveling library is made use of, consisting of a small selection of books, especially applicable to the sub ject of the course, which is kept in a strong chest that serves at once as a bookcase anda shipping box. These books are either loaned in rotation, or deposited in some accessible room for reference. TO avoid carrying about cumbersome diagrams and specimens, a projecting lantern is much used as a means of illustration. Local museums, private collections and local school apparatus are made serv iceable, as far as practicable.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a compelling analysis of the University Extension System, a movement that took hold in England during the late Victorian period. The author examines how this education system developed and spread, comparing it to the Institutes that took root in the United States during the same era. While the English system focused on the extension of university-level education to the public, the American Institutes had a more job-specific, industrial focus. The author asserts that both systems had a significant impact on their respective populations, and that they paved the way for broader educational opportunities for the general public.
