The most serious difficulty is the absence of heavy men to fill the vacancies at center and guard ; in fact all candidates are light and the only hope is to develop a team, similar to last year, that will make in up in speed for what it lacks weight. The most favorable sign is the interest and enthusiasm in the THE M. A. C. RECORD. work of the squad shown both by the candidates themselves and the student body. Fifty-five candidates have reported to coach Brewer and three or four hundred students come out each night to watch the work and cheer the candidates on. The old men who are again in harness are Capt. Bell and Kratz, tackles; Case, guard ; Ashley and Holdsworth, ends ; McKenna, Doty and Small, backs. Second team men and substitutes who are again out are McDermid, Bates, Waite, Bartlett and A. Kratz. Among new men who have shown promise and a know ledge of football might be mentioned, W. H. Parker, F. Parker, Fisk, Boomsliter, Wright, Sanborne and Charleton, candidates for the line ; Kratz, another of the Kratz family of ridge, R. C.

The work is being rushed, Hopkins, McCue, Peters and Hurst, all old football stars, assisting coach Brewer every night, in an endeavor to whip the team into shape as early as possible as the two hardest games on the schedule come early, Oct. 8, when Ohio comes here and Oct. 22, at Albion, in what promises from early season prospects, to be the critical game of the year. On Saturday, October 1, Flint comes here for the opening game, and a chance will be given then to see the men in action and judge more accurately what we have. providing instructive entertainment for the large number of stockmen who remained on the grounds at night during the fair. On Thursday evening, September 12th, the follow ing program was presented : First, the muscles of trie horse by Dr. G. A. Waterman, who illustrated his talk with the use of an artificial horse, removing the muscles one by one and describing their uses, action, etc. This was generally conceded to be one of the best features of the even ing meetings. This was followed by a stereoptican display of carcasses and meat cuts, which had been secured from work conducted in the the College. cutting of meats at These views were introductory to discussions on natural flesh in beef- cattle, led by Morris Douglas, of Grass Lake, and A. E. Stevenson, of Port Huron. On Wednesday evening, September 13th, Col. Cary M. Jones, of Davenport, Iowa, a live stock auctioneer of national reputation, gave an interesting and instructive talk on the preparation and presentation of live stock for sale in the auction ring. This was followed by a discussion relative to market types of swine by J. J. Fer guson, of Swift & Co., Chicago. He used a number of live animals to illustrate his remarks. A stere optican display of famous prize win ning animals was also presented. A tent was provided by the State Fair Association as well as music by a band for both evenings. It is intended, if these meetings are con tinued to use them for educational purposes, converting them into stud ies of breed type, with the object of creating greater uniformity among breeders with regard to correct type among breeds of live stock at a time when this question is forcably im pressed on the mind of the exhibitor by the judge, and at a time when the most suitable specimens can be secured for purposes of demonstra tion. ^ ' % ••.'•'.;•-•* Jfr M. A. C. AT STATE FAIR. The Michigan Agricultural Col lege showed six head of short horn cattle at the State Fair at Pontiac. Eight premiums were secured by the six animals. Following are secured in the respective classes : the premiums 1st. premiums on yearling bull, bull calf and four animals the get of one sire in the open classes. 2nd premiums on two animals, the pro duce of one cow in the Michigan class, and 2nd premium on yearling bull in the class competing for short horn specials. 3rd premiums in the open classes for heifer calf, bull calf and aged bull. The most noteworthy of all these awards is that received by the four animals, the get of one sire. These young animals were, of course, all bred by the institution and were a remarkably uniform lot. The plac ing of the aged bull, which received a third premium, was a matter of a good deal of satisfaction because of the fact that this bull is now eight years old and was competing against younger animals. It was generally conceded by the exhibitors that this animal has maintained his form and quality in a remarkable manner. * # Stockmen's meetings were held on the Stafe Fair grounds at Pontiac during the evenings of September 12th and 13th. These meetings the direction of the were under Michigan Agricultural College and were inaugurated for the purpose of # # # chiefly illustrating The Farm Department made exhibits at both Pontiac and Grand Rapids. The exhibits consisted of materials the work being done along livestock lines at the institution. There were a number of charts showing the various conditions of the animal body and the names which properly apply to them, both of beef and dairy type. There were other charts showing the various cuts of carcasses, the relative weights of the various cuts and the relative prices of the same. There were also two dozen enlarged photo graphs illustrating the quality of various cuts of meat. One of these in particular showed cuts from an excessively fat cotswold wether in which twenty-four per cent of the entire carcass had to be trimmed off and sold at tallow prices. There were other illustrations showing prime roasts, excessively fat ones* and those lacking in both flesh and fat. In addition to this a display of score cards and slaughter record sheets, such as are used by the Institution for the various classes of animals, was also made. Twelve of the most improved rations used for beef cattle, sheep, swine and dairy cows at the Institution last year were shown in bottles in layers the proportions in which they in were fed. Along with these, figures were given showing the cost of the ration per cwt, the cost to produce a pound of mutton through the use of these, a pound of beef or a pound of butter, as the case might be. In connection with this exhibit Dr. Waterman made a from various display of bones domestic animals showing both diseased and healthy conditions in such cases, as for instance, spavin, splints ringbones and various other diseased conditions. This part of the exhibit attracted a good deal of attention. APPLE-DAY." About 1,000,000 apples will be given away to visitors, Sept. 27, at the World's Fair. Each a'pple will be neatly wrapped in tissue paper, on which will be printed the name of the variety and the place where grown.

He taught school about two years and then entered the University of Michigan at A nn in 1S97 with Arbor, graduating the degree of Bachelor of 'Letters, and in 1901 as Doctor of Medicine. During the student days at the U. of M. he was at different periods secretary of the Students' Christian Association and manager of the Inlander, the university magazine.

Science of Stud v" of the fundamen tal features of educational work, has something to say on domestic science, now graduaily assuming the dignity of a profession and being regarded as a valuable department of school routine. Mr. Moore says: "Really, in nobility of character and in demand for thorough equip ment, no other life work stands high er than the profession of domestic science, in its most inclusive mean- inpf. % % ** Every woman ought to be able to -j been so n ses of consp: - nous success :i','c'-:_!f m:j.de" men '.

Smith, throws light upon •the subject. T he bureau estimates that at the time of the last census in the country 14,794,403 males over 30 years of age. These were divided into three classes, as follaws: Class 1, without education, 1,757,023; Class 2, with only common school education, 12, 054,335; Class 3, with high school education, 657,432; Class 4, with college education, 325,613. T he 10,000 notables in " W h o 's W h o ?" were now distributed among these classes with the following results: Without education o; with common school education, 1,368; with high school education, 1,627; with college education, 7>7°9> °^ whom 6,129 were college graduates. From this those without it appears that from from education came no notable; those with common e d u school cation came one notable for every those with high school 8,812; from came one notable education for every 404; and those with from college education came one notable for everv 42. According to this the boy with a common school edu cation has one chance of becoming notable out of every 9,000. High school training increases this chance nearly twenty-two times, and college training increases it more than two hundred times. One out of every forty-two college trained, men. ac quires some distinction. While this method of computation gives only a rough approximation to the truth, yet it is not misleading, and it shows the enormous advantage education gives in the work of life; and as ed ucation rises in the scale the chance of success in a geometrical ratio.
