Excerpt from University Extension, Past, Present, and Future The first and second editions of this little book were published in August, 1890, under the title of "University Extension: Has it a Future?" They dealt, primarily, with the position created by the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer made in the House of Commons on the 21st of July, 1890, that part of the money accruing from the new spirit duty would ultimately be applied to the promotion of intermediate, technical, and agricultural education. Their object was to show that, from its past history and its present condition, the educational system, commonly known as University Extension, was worthy of serious attention whenever the Legislature should come to enumerate the institutions to which County Councils might vote grants in aid. The year which has elapsed since the autumn of 1890 has witnessed greater changes in English education than any which have happened since the memorable year 1870. Whilst the Imperial Parliament has been busy with Free Education, almost every County Council in England and Wales has been taking steps to initiate its own scheme of commercial and technical instruction.

Excerpt from University Extension in the United States In 1874 a new agent of popular education, the Chautauqua move ment, began to make itself felt by the introduction Of more systematic and constructive Opportunities of study than were included in the plan of the lyceum. Chautauqua, with its summer schools and literary and scientific circle, Offered courses of instruction varying from, the more elementary to university grades. Correspondence study formed an important part Of its work, the courses being pre pared and conducted by university professors. During a brief period an attempt was made to'so broaden this Opportunity as to include the giving Of credit for studies of university grade with no residence requirement, degrees being granted by the University of the State of New York upon completion of work equivalent to that ex acted at a recognized institution. When other means for home study became more general this privilege was withdrawn.

In the beginnings of university extension in several cities (buffalo, Chicago, and St. Louis) as an adjunct to the work of the city library.

It has a message for men and women alike; for the educated as well as for the uneducated for the rich no less than for the poor.

Excerpt from The Place of University Extension Would come into conflict with established agencies for the same end. It is hardly necessary to repeat that the data for such conclusions are lacking. The public school, the academy, the technical school, the college and the university, have each worked at their problems in an inductive manner. They have shifted their bases, altered their courses, and changed the character nof their teaching in an independent way, dictated by their own necessities, without regard to their theoretical relation to other educational agencies. It is still a problem to determine just what each of these factors in education can undertake best, in how far they conflict with or duplicate the work of each other, and whether between them all the whole field is covered without any gaps which new institutions could fill to the advantage of all concerned.

Excerpt from University Extension: Has It a Future? The movement known as University Extension seems to have arrived at a critical period in its history. The wonderful growth of the last two years, whether we measure it by statistics or by the newly awakened interest of newspapers and public men, seems to mark the end of the merely experimental stage. Several new developments are extending the operations of the system. We begin to feel that its tentative organization ought to give way to some more permanent arrangement. At the same time it is clear that both political parties have now come to the conclusion that the State must henceforth play a larger part in national education. On the 21st of July the Chancellor of the Exchequer intimated to the House of Commons that the Government proposed that part of the money accruing from the new Spirit tax should ultimately be used for education. At once in Wales and Monmouthshire, by and by also in England, it is to be devoted to the promotion of intermediate, technical and agricultural education.
