It is well for every one to recog the nize the exact significance of short course movement. T he word course is in part a misnomer when applied to the efforts of the College to teach young men who cannot serious benefits of to homes the college otherwise excluded from its bounty.

T he be heated by steam, new windows have been cut in, and the forges will be in place by the N ew Year. Over the forge shop is the carpenter shop provided with a sufficient number of kits of carpenter tools. South of the carpenter shop, on the second floor, is to be a seed room, a labora tory and store room for the seed selection under Prof. Jeffery. No at tempt will he made to turn out expert blacksmiths or carpenters. T he in struction will be confined to elemen tary exercises in blacksmith work such as every farmer should receive to fit him to make necessary repairs or to do the simpler kinds of iron work. the exercises will begin with the making of the necessary work benches and In the carpenter shop four year leave their homes for periods longer than eight weeks in the winter. A four or five-year course differs from these short courses both in degree and in kind, in form and in essential essence. course T he the entire man, his takes hold of mind, his body and his very soul, making of the raw material furn ished in the shape of the untrained boy, an accomplished thinker, a man who knows how to seize the oppor tunities offered him and to make of himself and his opportunities the greatest possible good for the world. A college course is not an amount of information poured into an unchang ing vessel, it is a growth, a leading out of the man himself into devel oped powers, into matured and sea- sone i faculties. Such a course finds its best good not in the information given out in the development of the student. T he graduate differs from the entering student not in that he has more info mation, that he knows more but in the fact that he is in every- respect an essentially different man, with powers of thought and of ac tion, almost entirely wanting on his first arrival at the college. information T he short courses attempt noth ing of this kind. Recognizing the fact that the college is equipped to give much needed to young men who can be away from home but for short periods, it invites young and progressive farmers, fruit growers, butter mak, rs and cheese makers, to come to its halls for eight weeks in the winter, thei e to get the benefit of this equipment and of the training which experts can give in It is one step in the limited period.

THE FOUR SHORT COURSES. (Continued from page one) few students reason inexplicable have elected this course in past years. Many elections are now allowed to satisfy the demands of young men who, because they carry on mixed farming as well as fruit growing, desire a more varied course than has heretofore been provided. Besides in fruit culture the practical work and kindred subjects in the men horticulture may elect some phase of live stock work, dairy work, or work with soils. Finally from gathered the creamery course is kept up-to-date by introducing, as a principle feature, the manufacture cream. of butter Mr. Rabild has had exceptional opportunity this summer to study this matter and the creamery men to have the advantage of his- are broad experience and wide observa tion. the T he unit in America is not citizen but the home. W h e re the college can help the home it helps the country. It is pleasant to record that the special courses have blessed many homes. Letters galore from former students in these courses de scribe the happier state of the home brought about by the contact v. ith the college life and the experiences at M. A. C. N ot only is it true that larger salaries are received and therefore, a better supply of mental and physical food but a distinct step in advance has been made in a broadening culture. More papers are read, more helpful books are selected, the homes have a better tone, the lives of husband and wife are uplifted. T h e se things are brought about not so much by training given as by the secret unrecognized but potent influences in the college the life taken, more books are T he benefits of the definite itself. T he financial side of the question is the one that appeals most strongly perhaps to ambitious young men. F o r ty five dollars is a large invest ment if the course is to be consid ered an uncertainty. It will be hard to find a young man who has taken one of the special courses and de voted himself with energy to the work who does not report that the course has paid him back the money it cost before the expiry of the first year. T he live stock course has taken men from the farm earning not more than twenty dollars per month and board, and has placed them in situations requiring execu tive ability and training, where they times have earned those wages and have satisfied their employers completely. F r om Maine there are men who to California tell what the course has done can for them In Maine, one of the large dairy farms is in charge of a former short course man.

MEN AS LEADERS IN AGRICULTURE. It was not very long ago when many of the intelligent farmers of Michigan believed that the Agricul the tural College was not helping common the state as farmers of much as was prophsied by the early advocates of that institution because very few of the young men who availed themselves of the advantages offered at the College came back to the farm to practice what had been learned. No doubt many of those who so contended had grounds for few believing as they did for the graduate and under graduates who left the College were offered posi tions in the service of the govern ment, thus preventing their return ing to the farm. But today the situation has con siderably changed and we find many of the men w ho have equipped themselvts with a thorough under standing of the principles underlying modern agriculture, are desirous of going back to the soil and p>acticing what they have learned, even in the face of many tempting offers from institutions, as public and private the insight they have gained of the conditions of agriculture have con vinced them of the great opportuni ties offeted in practical farming for the trained man. Their almost uni versal success in the management of stock, fruit, and general farms has dispelled most, the doubt entertained regarding the ef ficiency of the M. A. C. to prepare men for practical farming, and the part these men are taking in the ad vancement of the agricultural pro fession in the c< mmuni'ies in which they live as well as the state and na tion has changed the | ersons who once looked with no little skepticism on higher agricultural training into believers who now assert that the coming farmer should have a college education. if not all, of in' which nineteen of An illustration of the part now being played by men connected with, or educated in our agri ultural college is seen in the recent pros the Michigan pectus put out by F a r m er the special articles that that publication will run dur ng the year of 1906 are known to the writer to be from the pen of M A.
