EDUCATION BY MAIL FROM BIG SCHOOL CORRESPONDENCE INSTRUCTIONS ADOPTED BY STATE UNIVERSITY BEGINS THIS MONTH GREAT DEMAND FOR KNOWLEDGE OF CIVICS SINCE WOMEN HAVE BEEN GIVEN A VOTE The time has now come when any one in California may enroll as a student in the University of California. With the opening of the university year in August, correspondence instruction will begin. Dr. C. I. Lewis, of the department of philosophy, has just been appointed secretary of the new bureau of correspondence instruction. He and Prof. Ira W. Howerth have now arranged with the various departments of the university for the correspondence courses to be given during the coming year. Already hundreds of correspondence students are enrolling, and those actually enrolled will soon be in the thousands. Now that women vote, there is a particularly great demand for knowledge of civics. The list of the correspondence courses which will be offered in this one department, of political science, gives an idea of the varied opportunities which the correspondence department will provide. In political science, there will be correspondence courses on "The Government of the United States art, history, English, economics, foreign languages, agriculture—without any fee for agricultural courses—engineering subjects, natural science and in all the chief interests of mankind. To any one who will write to the university extension department, stating in what field he desires correspondence instruction, a detailed announcement will be sent of the courses to be given this year. The university is now mailing to the 1,500 people who have already applied for correspondence instruction detailed announcements of the courses now available. Of the 1,500 applicants, there are 308 for work in agriculture, 35 for art, 93 for business courses, 156 for engineering, 64 for history, 334 for languages and literature, 44 for mathematics, and several hundred for various branches of domestic science and domestic art. The inquiries show great earnestness of purpose, desire for general mental improvement, and specific ambitions for better training in individual pursuits. A steward, for instance, asks for aid in planning dietaries; a confectioner asks for instruction in the making of ice cream, a subject in which a course is given already to resident students at the university farm; many public officials and men engaged in land development ask for instruction in highway engineering; foreigners who are newcomers in America ask for aid in perfecting their knowledge of English; clergymen ask for courses to bring them abreast of modern movements in philosophy, mothers for instruction in rearing children, and citizens in general ask for aid in understanding better the political and economic problems of their community life. Now that women vote, there is a particularly great demand for knowledge of civics. The list of the correspondence courses which will be offered in this one department, of political science, gives an idea of the varied opportunities which the correspondence department will provide. In political science, there will be correspondence courses on "The Government of the United States," "The Government of States," "Municipal Government," "Advanced Municipal Government," and the "Government of Europe," all given by Thos. H Reed, associate professor of government. There will be a correspondence course on "Foreign Relations of the United States," the first part dealing with such problems as Mexican relations, intervention in Cuba and Central America, the Monroe Doctrine and its development, and the countries and peoples of Latin America; and the second part dealing with the Far East; the government of China, the development of Japan, Japan as a colonizing power, spheres of influence, etc. This course will be given by Dr. David P. Barrows, professor of political science, for eight years superintendent of education of the Philippines, and now acting head of the university, during the absence in Germany of President Wheeler. Professor Barrows will also give a correspondence course called "State Government in the United States, with Special Reference to California." The correspondence students will pay a fee of $5 for 15 lectures, which is only two-thirds as much as the amount charged for correspondence instruction at the University of Wisconsin and only one-third as much as charged by the University of Chicago. Every correspondence student will receive prepared outlines and lists of prescribed readings, and periodical tests will be set and a final examination held. The student's inquiries will be answered, and difficult points explained. Those who are already eligible for admission as regular or special students of the university will obtain credit toward a university degree for work done by correspondence. The opportunity for taking correspondence courses is not limited, however, to those who have fulfilled the formal requirements for admission to the university. These new university opportunities are intended to help all men and women according to their needs, to aid all men and women who have the ambition and determination to make use of these chances for self-improvement. SOMEWHAT CHILLY ABOVE CATALINA Government Balloon Goes Up 15 Miles and Records Temperature of 85 Below Fifteen miles above Catalina Island in the supper air currents, the temperature is 85 degrees below zero, approximately. This is the record written automatically far above the visible clouds by the first meteorograph received since the United States weather bureau and the Smithsonian institution began their balloon soundings at Avalon. The instrument, carried about 79,200 feet above the earth by a pair of balloons, descended to the sea three miles off Huntington Beach, with its report faithfully transcribed and legible, despite the white incrustations made by the salt water upon the aluminum cylinder. The scientists conducting these experiments for Uncle Sam to find out what makes the weather and to learn the thickness of the air layer in which the earth gets its weather are delighted to recover the instrument intact and know that after a week's figuring they will have made data of value to the world, concerning the varying humidity, pressure and temperature at various heights passed by the meteorograph. All connected with the experiments are experts. B. J. Sherry, observer in charge of the work at Avalon, has spent years in research work. W. R. Gregg is the senior research observer at Mt. Weather, Va. Paul Hathaway is a theodolite expert who operates the fine transit-like instrument by which the balloons are traced in the sky to great heights. Dr. Ford A. Carpenter, forecaster at Los Angeles, while inspecting the co-operative weather station at Avalon, witnessed the ascension and made some remarkable photographs of the work.

These new university opportunities are intended to help all men and women according to their needs, to aid all men and women who have the ambition and determination to make use of these chances for self-improvement and for mental enrichment. Teachers will be interested in the correspondence courses in educational subjects now planned. Among these are correspondence courses in "School Organization and Administration," and in "Social Psychology, by Ira W. Howerth, professor of education; courses entitled 'Introduction to Educational Methods,' 'School Management,' and 'Principles of Teaching,' by Charles E. Rugh, professor of education; a course in 'The High School,' by Prof. W. Scott Thomas; a course in 'Typical Processes in Study and Presentation,' and a course on 'Playgrounds and Recreation,' this last conducted by James E. Rogers, who is a leader in California in the movement for supervised playgrounds and better facilities for public recreation, so that all the people, young and old, may have exercise and outdoor air. In music, correspondence courses are offered in "Elementary Harmony," by Charles L. Seeger, Jr., professor of music; and in "Elementary Harmony and Counterpoint" and "Advanced Harmony and Counterpoint," by Edward G. Stricklen, the composer of "The Green Knight," the "Everymaid" music, etc. These are merely a few examples of the wide range of correspondence courses offered within single departments. There will be similar lists of courses in domestic science and do- charge of the work at Avalon, has spent years in research work. W. R. Gregg is the senior research observer at Mt. Weather, Va. Paul Hathaway is a theodolite expert who operates the fine transit-like instrument by which the balloons are traced in the sky to great heights. Dr. Ford A. Carpenter, forecaster at Los Angeles, while inspecting the co-operative weather station at Avalon, witnessed the ascension and made some remarkable photographs of the work. The meteorograph has three arms which touch an aluminum cylinder blackened with camphor smoke and upon which these arms write as they move. The instrument is placed in a basket attached to two balloons tied together. These balloons of pure rubber are 12 feet in diameter at the earth, but expand gradually to 20 feet in the upper air. When one bursts it releases itself from its companion sphere, which slowly lowers the basket to the surface. A tin box filled with air prevents the basket from sinking in the sea with its precious meteorograph. Seven to eight days' steady figuring for eight hours each are required to compute the exact report made by the tiny instrument. By studying the upper air currents beyond the influence of mountains and local peculiarities, the scientists hope to learn the general conditions of the great movements which produce the storms and good weather. Mr. Gregg says that the research observers hope for the establishment of regular balloon sounding stations in the west and northwest, whence warnings of storms may be sent out to the nation.

ANAHEIM GAZETTE AUTO INVASION OF PLAYGROUND RESENTED VISITORS WANT THE MOTOR AND LOCOMOTIVE BARRED FROM YELLOWSTONE PARK OLD-TIME STAGE COACH ONLY TOLERATED IN WORLD'S MOST WONDERFUL GARDEN Thousands of pleasure loving tourists who have visited the "people's playground" will resent the proposed invasion of Yellowstone Park by automobilists. Much pressure has been brought to bear on the powers that be at Washington to permit automobiles in the park. Up to the present time the locomotive and the honking motor car and even the bicycle, have been barred. The open season for tourists is from June 16th to September 16th. Firearms—except in the hands of the troops that care for the park—are barred, resulting in absolute lack of fear on the part of the wild animals that dwell in the great reserve. Chipmunks, red squirrels and other smaller animals are in constant view as one speeds along the 160 miles embraced in the complete tour. Antlered elk, deer, antelope, and buffalo, affect but passing interest in the stage coaches, and some seem to enjoy posing for the omni-present camera. In the Grand Canyon one can see eagles' nests, with the mother eagle tending her young locat. Just coming out of the great playground when the locomotive, the bicycle, and the honking motor horn are barred. The season ends September 16th. But so perfect is the management throughout the park, including the stage coach and hotel service, that the briefest notice may secure the best accommodations. The railroad rates are reasonable, the stage charges are on the same equable basis, as are the hotel rates or at the various camps. "See America First" is a practice that should be adopted by every loyal American. And the best and grandest of the trips is to Yellowstone Park. It is reached from the east by the popular transcontinental route via the Chicago & Northwestern or Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul, the Union Pacific and Oregon Short Line, and from the west by the Salt Lake Route operating in conjunction with the lines named. Stop-overs are allowed on transcontinental tickets that include the complete tour of the park. Special reduced rates are made from Salt Lake Route territory to the park. If you can't own Anaheim, don't disown it.

Deceased Notice is hereby given that under and pursuant to an order of the Superior Court in and for the County of Orange, State of California, made and entered in said court on the 18th day of July, 1913, in the matter of the estate of John Henneberg, deceased, the undersigned administrator of the estate of said deceased, will sell at private sale, to the highest and best bidder, for cash, in lawful money of the United States, and subject to confirmation by said Superior Court, on or after Tuesday the 12th day of August, 1913, all the right, title, interest and estate of said John Henneberg.

Antlered elk, deer, antelope, and buffalo, affect but passing interest in the stage coaches, and some seem to enjoy posing for the omnipresent camera. In the Grand Canyon one can see eagles’ nests, with the mother eagle tending her young, located high on craggy points. At every stopping place are to be seen the black, brown and grizzly bears. The honk-honk of the automobile would soon drive these interesting animals to the woods. Nature has lavished her gifts on the region of the Yellowstone—wild woodland, crystal rivers, gorgeous canyons and sparkling cascades—all under guard of mountain sentinels, around whose lofty heads group every form of cloud castle that vagrant winds can build. But of all the things that God in his mysterious way has worked to perform, none is so strange—so startling—as the geysers. To count them, great and small, would be like counting the stars, and to measure in words their awful power, or picture their spendor of sparkle and symmetry, is an impossible task. They must be seen to be appreciated, and once seen, the memory and mystery of them will linger to the end of the longest life. They are as different as geysers can be. There are dead geysers—dead from bursted throats—mere boiling pools now—shaped to resemble a variety of familiar things with depths that the eye cannot sound and colors that exhaust every known shade, to the delight and wonder of the one who observes. They blubber and gurgle and grumble and sometimes with an angry growl lift a great column of mud in the air. Some steam and growl through an orifice hundreds of feet wide in seeming angry that years ago it blew out its throat and ceased to gush forever. But the geysers that most attract are the regular-timed spouting wonders—the Giant and Giantess, Old Faithful, the Grand, the Fountain, and the Castle and others whose names mark the geography of the park. They are variously located in three distinct basins which are far enough apart to give the traveler by stage, a few geysers with each days' entertainment. The coming and going of the geysers is an astonishing and awe-inspiring spectacle, and are so accurately timed and so certain to perform are they, that no one need miss the experience. In imagination.
