T he Debating Club had its first meeting for the term on Thursday evening, October 1. In the absence of the president, the meeting was called to order by the vice president, Mr. Geo. C. Morbeck, and the fol lowing officers were elected: Pres., Geo. C. Morbeck; Vice Pres., Howard Severance; S e c, Clarence D. Sterling; Program Committee, A. J. Anderson, H. C. Oven, and G. Masselink; Critic, W. O. Hedrick; Editor, L. W. S a w -' telle. S. A new roll of members is to be made out, therefore all old members who care to take part in this work, should sign the constitution at once. T he club also extends a cordial invi tation to all new men who are inter ested in its work to attend the first regular debate next Thursday even ing at 7 o'clock. Arrangements have been made for another debate with Ypsilanti next spring. Those desiring to try for the team, which is to meet the teachers, should give their names to Mr. C. D. Sterling at once. No names will be received after Oct. S. Y. M. C. A. T he Association holds a mid from 6:20 to 7:00 week meeting every Thursday evening in the Y. M. C. A. rooms. Every college man is invited to these meetings. Last Thursday evening the question for discussion was, " Whose servant am I ?" Chapel was conducted Sunday morning by R e v. Smith, pastor of the Pilgrim Congregational church of Lansing. His theme was, " W hy Should I Study T he Bible?" Bible study makes Bible living," says R e v. Smith. Can we prove it by our lives? T he thought for the Sunday eve ning service was a continuation of the thought given in the morning at chapel. Attorney C. C. Wood of Lansing gave the address. He stated that the solution of the great social and national problems, which confront our nation today, can be found the " B o ok of Books." Besides the many other reasons w hv the college man should study this should be book, his citizenship enough to cause him to take up the work. for Bible Classes.

T he football team accompanied by Coach Brewer and Manager Haftenkamp early Saturday morning for South Bend, Ind., to play Notre Dame. M. A. C. lined left up as follows: Decker c, Peck r. g., Kratz r. t., Ashley r. e., Case 1. g., Shaw and Bell 1. t., Millar 1. e., Small q. b., McKenna r. h., H a hn 1. h., Doty and Grover f. b., Tanner sub line and Benton sub end and quarter. M. A. C. was outweighed 25 pounds to the man, but played a very plucky game. Notre Dame made the first touchdown by long runs around right end. M. A. C. secured the ball on downs, but could not advance it beyond the 20-yard fre line. T he ball changed sides quently for the remainder of the half and the playing was about even. In the second half Notre Dame again scored during the first few minutes of play through long gains around right end by Shaunnessey. After this the ball changed hands frequently but was in possession of M. A. C. most of the time. Game ended 12 to o in favor of Notre Dame. Millen played a star game on defensive. T he line did excel lent work, hardly any gains being made through it. N ot a man on the team played a quitting game. Every one worked hard against great odds. Notre Dame has an old heavv team and has practiced four weeks. M. A. C. has a light team, inexperi enced, and with but t wo weeks of practice. Consequently we have reasons for feeling proud at the re cord made in the first game. Coach Brewer says the game was very- for the poor satisfactory tackling on the part of M. A. C. This will be looked after particularly and the team will be greatly im proved in a few weeks. Last year the game with Notre Dame ended 32 to o- T he boys are all feeling well and had a very enjoyable trip. Notre Dame very treated courteously. except them T he Lansing high school was disappointed in Howell and conse quently came to M. A. C. for eleven men. These were eventually select ed and went to the race track It proved to be quite for a game. a contest. T he Lansing high school has a strong team but the aggrega tion from M. A. C. held them for a single touch down. T he base freshmen-sophomore ball game came off at 3 o'clock Saturday. Numerous changes were made in the freshmen line-up owing to the fact that no one knew w ho were the best players. T h ey gave the wily sophomores a game for their life, however, and the game ended 9 to 9.

Oakes, cashier of the National Bank of Grand Haven, in Grand River was found floating at noon on Saturday, September 26. Mr. Oakes left the bank at about eleven o'clock to take his customary walk along the docks. He had been unwell for some time and was to heart trouble and dizzi subject ness and it is supposed that he fell from the tug Meister during one of these attacks. T he five physicians w ho viewed the remains were of the opinion that death was due to heart disease. T he fact that the body was floating after having been in the water only about ten minutes would further support this view. T he funeral was held on Monday, Sept. 28, R e v. Brown, of the Pres byterian church, officiating. A large number of bankers from western Michigan and some leading republi cans from the state were present. T he honorary pallbearers were Will Heath, Ionia; Samuel Webber, L y o n s; W. H. Anderson, W. A. Phelps, J. R. Wylie and George Clapperton, Grand Rapids; Charles M. Moore, G. L. Root, C. P. Lil- lie, Louis P. Ernst, Colon C. Lillie, C. D e V os and Hon. Millard Dur ham, Coopersville. T he active pall bearers were the directors of the National Bank, of Grand Haven, viz.: Nelson R. Howlett, Senator William Savidge, George A. Farr, George P. Savidge, Nathaniel R o b- bins and Capt. Herman F. Harbeck. M r. Oakes was well known at M. A. C. and was one of the most prominent alumni in business circles. He had been a resident of Grand Haven for three years, and had pre viously conducted a banking busi ness in Coopersville for ten years. He was president of Shelby in 1890 and while there took an active part in business affairs. He was known everywhere for his enterprise, strict reliability and correct b u s i n e ss methods. He is survived by a wife, two sons and a daughter. M. A. C. extends sympathy to the bereaved family, and keenly feels the loss of this esteemed alumnus. T he faculty reception on last Friday evening was a decided success from the standpoint of attendance as well as interest. T he stu.ients introduced by M r. W. F. were '04. T he Junior women Millar, served sherbet and wafers and the evening was forming spent acquaintances and having a good time in general. T he M. A. C. glee club furnished delightful music for the occasion. in M. L. Dean has resigned his posi tion here in the horticultural depart ment to take charge of the Michi gan fruit exhibit at the St. Louis exposition. He is already engaged in collecting fruit to be put in cold storage at Grand Rapids. Mr. Dean has been at the College eight years and is an expert in the care and judging of fruit. T HE M. A. C.

By courtesy Prof. Bogue was present at a meeting of the Forestjy Commission in the land commission er's office in the state house on Fri day, the 25th. T he chief object of the meeting at that time was to hear the report of the commissioner's for est warden, Prof. R o t h, of the Uni versity. In accordance with a bill passed by the legislature last winter the commission now has a forest re serve of three townships. TwcTof them are contiguous and lie entirely within Roscommon county, and the third lies half in the north part of Roscommon county and half in the south part of Crawford county. Prof. R o th reported that during the summer 9,000 acres had been exam ined and reviewed in 10 acre sec tions, and 25 miles of section lines run and the corners to the sections located. Plans for the utilization of some timber now on the reserve and also for the establishment of forest nurseries and for employment of a forest ranger. Only a few months ago some people on and in the vicin ity of the reserve were decidedly opposed to the work the forestry commission decided to do, but Prof. R o th reports that since they have seen the work begun and understand what the commission is trying to do they are heartily in favor of it.

There never was a time when so much attention was given by the departments of education, by agri cultural colleges, the agricultural press, and other agencies interested life, to the teaching of in country the public schools. agriculture in to Arguments have been offered show the great advantages which would follow the successful intro duction of agriculture in the public schools, but results of actual instruc tion given to children in rural schools are not always easy to find. All are agreed that agriculture should be taught in the rural schools. T he great difficulty is in outlining a to plan which will induce teachers begin this work and the patrons to recognize its value. Manifestly a teacher ignorant of all the principles and practices of agriculture cannot teach this subject. T he whole ques tion is easy of solution when the ru ral school teacher has received reli able instruction in agriculture and by the aid of a library of agricultural books and bulletins becomes able not only to instruct pupils, but to impart useful and valuable informa tion of the highest practical value to every patron of the school. This is the aim and purpose of introducing the Missouri plan for agriculture in the public schools. It has so far succeeded beyond our highest expectations. It will be en couraging, therefore, to the friends of this movement to learn what has aleady been done in this direction and something of our plans for the future.

Jesse was the first to suggest and later to demonstrate that this important the most movement was the training of teach ers who were to give instruction in In the this work summer school each year for the past six years, courses have been offered in agriculture and horticul ture, and these courses have been largely elected by the teachers at tending. ' As a result of the work in done here-, every state normal Missouri now has a professor of agriculture. More than 500 teach ers have thus been trained in agri culture and horticulture by the edu cational institutions of Missouri. A conservative estimate shows that more than 5,000 Missouri chil dren received some instruction dur ing the past year in agriculture and is to be noted in It horticulture. that when we use this connection the the term agriculture we mean elements of agriculture and horti culture. All of the work given may be properly classified as nature study, but is distinct from the gen THE M. A. C. RECORD. eral idea of nature study in that it is technical agriculture. T he courses given to teachers at this institution are elementary courses in soils, farm crops, and horticulture. During the summer of 1903 two courses in hor ticulture were given to teachers and a six weeks course in agriculture was offered. More than fifty teach ers thus received this year at the Missouri College of A g riculture.

We have found it not only neces to sary to give teachers at in the normal schools, but in order to reach a larger number and to give definite- ness to all the instruction offered in these courses, have begun the publi cation of a series of bulletins which are intended to give the elements of agriculture In this series we have published two bulletins, one on " P l a nt Propaga tion" and the other on the "Princi Plant Production — the ples of Seed." is our purpose to com- plete/the series on the principles of the horticulture and principles of plant production, par ticularly as applied to soils and crops.
