We are heartily glad to hear that the plan for the enlargement of the Prospect Union's equipment promises to meet with success. The growth of the Union has been one of the most marked successes that has ever recompensed efforts to bring education of a more advanced character within the reach and the desires of the working people. The Union has opened a new world of interests to hundreds of people whose lives before were sordid and cramped. Even if the reflex good which comes to teachers were not considered, the labor spent on the Union is assuredly well directed.

The dependence of the Union on Harvard is never to be forgotten. The entire corps of teachers is enlisted from the ranks of the students here, and, without this corps, the work could not continue. As each year ends, and many of the students necessarily end their work at the Union, there is a call to students who still remain in the University to take the vacant places and to create new places that the expansion of the work may in no way be checked.
