To them we give ad vanced work in agricultural chemis judging, veterinary, en try, stock floricul tomology, forestry, physics ture economics. agricultural Having been here for one winter these young men know how to set themselves at work at once and it goes without saying that the second eight weeks will be of far greater usefulness the first period. than was to them and with the opening of new factories.

C O M M U N I TY S P I R I T. Dr. W a t e r m an gave most excel lent talks in Chapel on T h u r s d ay and Friday mornings of last week, taking for his subject " community spirit." On the first morning he urged a greater unity of college peo ple in general when the object in view was for the betterment of the whole institution; do not confine your spirit to society, clubs or athlet ics alone. In other words, do not be clanish. S h ow your spirit when your college home is to be benefited. On Friday morning the matter of ' ' s h e ep p a t h s" was taken up and students, and faculty as well, were urged to keep to the walks.

Especially do we want our campus in fine shape next spring at the time of the big meeting, and so far as these trails are concerned, they will almost entirely disappear if we begin now the " stone walk act." P r e s. Snyder at once organized a " campus club " and, by an ingenious method of pro cedure, called for a rising vote from these who would join just as the bell sounded. It is needless to say that the vote was unanimous. to practice As stated in last week's R E C O RD the holiday vacation has been ex tended one day, but we did not state that classes would continue all day Saturday in order to make up the day thus lost.

We have divided into courses as a matter of convenience but we allow any young man who comes to the college any study mentioned in the circular if he finds he needs the informaion giv en in that class to fit him for his life In other words we do not work. build up the courses so high that a man cannot conveniently take studies not men in some tioned in that program or other. T he forenoon in the special course in agriculture is given up to live stock, judging to ten, veterinary from ten to eleven and feeding from eleven to twelve, while the afternoon is given up to soils and crops, and mechanics or practice in the carpenter and black smith the course that a large number of our y o u ng farmers need. the fences between from eight shops.

Charming C o e d s, witty toasts, excellent viands, appropriate decora tions and a delightful toastmistress were the chief factors in making the Football Reception and Banquet a most pleasant affair and one that will often recah happy recollections to those present. F r sever.;1 hours our gridiron warriors were danced, dined, toasted their fair hosts and,—roasted by until the tinkling the sounds of Curfew warned all that time was called on the most successful game of the season. T he team lined up for scrim mage at 5 145 after some preliminary sianalsand mstructionsby the coach. T he new rules bothered somewhat and downs were frequent, b ut Capt. Doty's men seemed at first to be holding their own. Time was taken out frequently although no one was put out of the game. T he contest was remarkable for forward passes and few fumbles. Several players were warned against offside play and holding in the line, and several times penalties were inflicted. T he rooting showed fine college spirit. T he team was outweighed about six to one and this combined with the good team work of the girls was too much for the boys and they were forced to acknowledge their deft at. Coach Brewer T he cordial welcome given by Toastmistress Jones made all the guests feel at ease. She called on Capt. Doty for a toast on " M. A. C. football" T h is was given in the form of a short history of the game at M. A. C, and was appreciated by all. Quarterback Small was the next speaker, and he responded to the toast, " O ur Girls," and as usual he Starred. Miss Covell, on behalf of the girls, toasted " O ur Football T e a m" in a very charming manner. H er remarks were very witty and also quite "touching." T h ey were enjoyed very much by everyone (?) the t o a s t s by speaking on " T he F u t u re of M. A. C. Football." His re marks were given in a jolly but earnest way. His humor caused much laughter and several of the players felt that he could " r o a s t" them about as well at a banquet as he could criticize them on the field. In closing he expressed the thanks of the team for the splendid hospi tality of the young ladies and the spirit in which the entertainment was given. T h r o u gh the kindness of Miss Jones the guests and their hosts spent the remainder of the evening dancing in the gymnasium or visiting in the parlors.

Last Wednesday evening Profes sor Pettit gave an illustrated lecture on bacterial and fungus parasites attackinginsects. He shewed lantern slides of such insect enemies as cab bage worms, clover leaf heetles, mos quitoes, grasshoppers, and that were killed by these parasites.

Mr. P. Sh'uttleworth carried off the banner after the exchange of ideas with M r. C. Geotz of the negative. This was the last meeting of the t?rm : evident from the small attend ance due to the nearness of term- end exams. T he teams for the pre- liminaiies should get all their mater ial on both sides of the question, and be prepared to go on the first of next term. At the first meeting in J a n u a r y, the teams will be assigned either on the affirmative or negative ; and they should be ready to debate upon either side. W H AT W AS IT ?

If you are dreaming T he representatives of every agri cultural college of any note will test they are constantly ify to the fact receiving inquiries for bright young men as managers of farms, cream eries, orchards, nurseries and various other industries. If you wish your boy to be a prosperous farmer in the future, send him to an agricultural school. that your daughter may some day be come the happy wife of a prosper ous farmer, send her to an agricul tural school; if you wish to be up to date yourself on matters of vital interest to you in your immediate business, do as thousands of farmers did last year, attend the short course for farmers at the agricultural col lege in your state. T h e re are many things to be learned at these grand in stitutions of learning for both young and old. T he agricultural college has passed the experimental stage, it has proved itself worthy of a place among the greatest colleges in the It i s j i e re and it is here to world. that It is no longer a baby stay. has to be nursed, but it is a strong, vigorous, c h i ld which will soon grow into a power ful man of tremendous prestige. rapidly-growing of the duties advancement In conclusion, we charge you, father and mother, urge your boy and your girl to acquire the best possible education to meet their re spective future. Y o u ng man and young woman, do not attempt to go against the un varying laws of nature. If you ex pect to pursue the noblest calling on earth, the business of farming, then, lies because along mental rather than physical lines, because you must compete with the whole world, because edu cational standards are being raised in all walks of life, and because you wish to be the equal mentally, socially and financially of everybody in your community and state, be come educated in your special line of work. Elevate your calling, dig nify your labor, become men and women of ability and power. today AGRICULTURAL E D U C A TION PAYS. popular strongly lecturers and Many teachers the emphasize purely cultural effects of agricul these tural education. T h ey place above the commercial possibilities technical knowledge of which a agriculture reveals. By minimiz ing the value of knowledge as a means to greater material prosper ity, and magnifying its higher po tentialities they deal a blow at the very object of their cordial approba tion. through T h is is an age in which the dollar is exhibiting its maximum power in America. All the old nations have passed the same sordid period of devotion to lucre. T he commercial spirit has always pre ceded epochs of intellectual advance ment and ethical progress. W h en a people satisfies its hunger for this world's goods and comes to under stand the basic poverty of great wealth it turns toward genuine cul ture. America is so n ew and so rich that commerce instead of art will be its ideal for many years to c o m e; therefore the most effective argument in favor of agricultural education or broad knowledge in any line is that it pays in dollars and cents.
