ENGINEERING SOCIETY J. N. Arthur, Editor * t. f4-. ,. . Wh4n as1e hew to repair "Hampton Roads" Prof. Homes said, "use the split log drag." Prof. Selbert with King azia Coggeshall. were in Ridgeway te first of the week su rvising the construction of a m el high way. Mr. J. C. Cleave of the Amer ican Association of Manufactur ers of Portland Cement, spoke to the enimeermg students at three different times this week on the advantages of concrete. td tfe ift lCtt re he took db the use of concrete in road build ing. He siowed the superiorit' of a concrete rdd over i-klacad am or asphalt pavement. A road properly constructed should cost froni $100 to $200 yer ya d and would last indefinitely with prhc tically no repair. In this con nection he showed several slides illustrating the use of concrete in bridge donstriction. The'sec6nd lecture was on the inanufacture of cement. The third was an illustrated lecture, showing the use of concrete on the farm and also illustrating the strength of concrete and its resistance to fire. Concrete will resist fire better than 'ny other building material, even better than steel. The chief objection to concrete is the fact that a building made of it cannot be easily destroyed. Back Frdm Witcontin. I)r. Reed Smith returned Tues day from 'the'University of Wis consin, where he attended the first; Nattinal 'Uriversity Exten sion Corifei'ence. "T1ie'purpose of the conference", says Dr. Smith, "was to"e chinge ideas on university extension work, or ways and means by Ohich'a State .institution may reach effectively and constructively all the citizens in the' State and every depart ment of State life and activity." The University has been doing much extension work and pur poses to-push forward this'Move ment as 'rapidly as finances and opportunity permit. It is hoped that this movement will meet with the success'at Carolia that it has met at'Wisconsin. Dr. Smith'repo>rts that Wiscon sin d,oes more extension wvork than any other State university. It spends '$175,000 annually 'in this work alone, more than the entire maintenance appropriation for the University of South Car olina. The Wisconsin institution is the greatest State uriiversity in* this 'nation. It has "alivays been a leader in progressive movements.
