THE SUMMER SESSION KANSAN
MANY FILMS ARE USED BY SCHOOLS IN STATE
Extension Division Provides Amusement for Community Gatherings
To furnish films for 105,814 people and slides for 218,641 is no small task, yet this is what the film department of the Extension Division did last year. This department has between 250 and 300 reels for the use of the schools of the state, and they are in constant demand. They have a large library of a higher type than the average film.
"The films are divided into two classes," said Mia Freak, in charge of the distribution of films, "those which are for our benefit and for which we charge a small rental."
A large majority of the films are loaned to the department by various corporations or people who take the people in the various phases of their industry. The principal companies furnishing films are the Western Electric Company, the General Electric Company, the Bell Telephone Company, The Ford Motor Company, and the United States Government. The portion are furnished by the last two companies; more feature pictures are owned by the department, upon which a small rental fee is charged. These deal with subjects of a literary nature, such as "Sillas Marner," "The Cricket on the Hearth," and "King Lear." These films star some of the best known actors and ac-
Owing to the greatest demand for films, the department is contemplating purchasing some additional feature pictures and comedies, so that a balanced program can be furnished. A great many of the features which they now have were obtained through the University of Wisconsin, which makes a practice of purchasing films from companies, and going out to offices, and then selling the films to the other universities at a low price.
The majority of the films are furnished to schools, churches and community gatherings.
The demand for both slides and films this summer exceeds the demand for them last year. The demand however, is on a general increase, due to the fact that a great many high schools and communities are purchasing their own picture machines, according to Miss Freak.
High Schools May Obtain Cases of Common Birds

Bunker, that cases of the common native birds of Knaus are obtainable for use in the practice of nature study, or in general science work.

Extension Department is Increasing State Work

During the year now closing it has furnished ninety-eight high schools of the state debating league with material, has sent out 610 women's club programs, has loaned 6,197 package libraries and to inaugurate organizations throughout the state. The division plans to do more extensive work than this during the ensuing year. Definite plans are now being formulated for this work.

Success is the hand trained to do its work,
The eye that sees that the lines run true.
The ear that hears if the truth you'd shirk,
The brain that conceives the word anew.
Success is the struggle with heart aglow.
The effort we make for a fellow man,
The pride that laughs at the outer show.
The will that fulfills its highest plan.
