T he following is an extract from an article by Alson Secor, in the Twentieth Century Farmer : Going to college should not be re garded as a fad, or a vacation from farm duties. Some fond parents want it said that their children are college graduates, not so much for the value of an education, but as a sort of honor to boast of. It tickles their pride. A wrong motive. Some boys and girls have no real desire to learn, but they think col lege life is sort of a picnic and they from home and long to get away have a lark. W r o ng motive. I do not appeal to either of these. If you have no desire to be some body, if you have no hungering for knowledge that you cannot get in the ordinary way, then you have no business in college. Have your fun elsewhere. Get out of the way of In those w ho do want to learn. stead of the name "college gradu a t e" being an honor to you, it will make you a laughing stock among men. If you haven't brains to de velop, then don't spend money on a college course. T he college cannot It can only train and make brains, develop what you take there. It can give you an education, as your mother used to give you a dose of castor oil. It can only direct you to the fount of knowledge, but cannot make you drink. Y o u ng man, if you want to be. a better man than the average, if you want to get a broader view of life that you may enjoy life more fully and be of greater value to the world —if you really long to live instead of exist — go to some good college. T he statis .ics of education show that the college trained man has many fold the chances for worldly MEMORIAL BUILDING. We present to our readers this week a half tone of the proposed new memorial building together with the cuts of the floor plans. T he committee having the matter ' in charge has drafted a letter, copies of which will be mailed to the al umni and friends of the institution. This letter sets forth the need of such a building at the college and states the purpose which it is ex pected to serve. T he R E C O RD of Sept. 26 explained this matter quite fully and it is not thought necessary to add anything here. It is now simply a matter of funds for the erection of this budding, and it is sincerely hoped that they may be forthcoming. success over the high school gradu ate. T he uneducated has absolute ly no chance whatever. T h e re is not a character of prominence in the world but what has some education. Ignorance is cheap. There is plen ty of it. T he possessor has some thing the world will not pav for. T he higher educa'ion, the better trained the brain power of man, the less competition and the greater its market value. Y ou need not go off the farm to see this is true. You would pay $40 per month for an in telligent man sooner than pay $ 10 for an ignoramus as a farm hand. One can make money for you ; the other costs you money. Let us consider two boys of equal ability. T he one takes $800 and spends four years at an agricultural college. He comes out with a prac tical education, but with no cash. He must work awhile for some one else before he has his $Soo back again. But a college graduate can get at least $ 50 per month right at the start. Many get twice that. In two years or less he has his $800 back and his education is increased by the t wo years' experience. His value of earning capacity is steadily increasing. If he chooses to buy a farm with the $800 he is well equipped with the scientific and practical knowledge that will enable him to buy stock and machinery wisely and manage his affairs so as to get the best returns. H is circum stances may force him to follow this or that branch of agriculture. He is equipped with the knowledge of special branches and can many choose between them. His life is not narrowed be a ny circumstance. He is superior to them. T he other boy doesn't want to take four years of his time getting an education. He takes his $800 from and buys a farm. He is too young to have judgment, too ignorant to start wisely or farm well. He is handicapped the very start, and the older he gets the more he sees it. T he rush to keep even pre vents his acquiring any book learn ing and soon the desire is gone. He reaches an a ge when he cannot comprehend what the agricultural press is talking about. T he world has outstripped him in the race. He is narrow in his conceptions, he is limited in his . capacity. He has learned but one thing and can do no other. T he last senior dinner was given on T h u r s d ay at five-thirty o'clock. Miss Forence Case acted as hostess. Pres. and M r s. Snyder and Miss Bemis were the guests. English violet favors and ferns were the ta ble decorations. M E N U.

One of our institute workers states that t he three subjects calling for the most attention this year are, the Dairy. Good Roods and Corn. T he first two named on account of re cent laws affecting the same to quite an extent and on the subject of corn Michigan farmers are becoming greatly interested in regard to breed ing and selecting of seed.

T he following topics are made the subjects of th's the house, w o r k: Location of planting of trees, evergreens, mass ing of shrubs, and the importance of a planting plan. M r.

V an Norman, w ho for the past eight years has been connected with the agricultural de partment of Purdue L Diversity, has accepted a position at the head of the dairy department of the Penn sylvania State College. Prof. V an Norman came to the university in 1897 as farm superintendent, and from the first has proved himself a most valuable instructor both at the university and in the educational cir cles of the state. * * * In Lafayette circles Prof. V an Norman is well known. He is presi dent and organizer of the Y o u ng Men's Christian Federation, which is an organization of all the young people's societies, and which has now been in existence for two years. In Prof. V an Norman's departure the university loses o ne of h er best men and Lafayette one of her best citizens. He will leave to assume his new duties as soon as his work can be closed up at Purdue. His successor has not yet been announced.—La fayette Morning yournal. '04. A cop}- of the Christian Conser vator, Huntington, Ind., has been received. T he issue contains in formation concerning Central Col lege located at that place and pre sents a cut of F. A. Loew of the above class w ho has charge of the science department. T he work in cludes one year of chemistry, one year of botany and considerable work in geology and zoology. We quote the last paragraph of M r. Loew's article which sums up the work of his department, " As a whole the science courses at Central College are designed to give the students a beginning in all the natural sciences so that he can intelligently choose as to his future w o rk in these lines.
