HORT. CLUB. Prof. B air of the McDonald Agricultural College, Canada, w ho has been visiting some of our col leges, gave an interesting talk at the Hort. club last Wednesday night. His subject was McDonald College and its object, and also horticultural conditions in Canada. McDonald Col'ege was founded by Sir W m. McDonald of Montreal who gave 2^ millions for buildings and $10,000,000 as fund. T he college has 640 acres of land, 50 to 70 acres of which is devoted to horticulture. T he object of the college is practical and research work along the line of agriculture and horticulture. T he conditions of horticulture in Canada is in a prosperous state. In parts of Canada are raised all the kinds of fruit grown in Michi gan. T he Annarolis valley, On tario, Niagara and British Columbia are the fruit sections. T he Domin ion has established five main experi mental farms, and many branch ones. These are mainly for experi mental work and testing of varieties. Canada has established many good laws relating to the fruit industry, such as : T he fruit marks act, by which every grower grades his fruit in fancy, firsts and seconds. T he packages must bear these marks, and are inspected by a corps of in spectors hired by the Dominion government. T he fumigation law requires all nursery stock to be fumi gated at the government station when it enters the country. . T he uniform package law pro vides for a uniform package, as bushel box of certain size, barrel of certain size, etc. M r. Blair was given a rising vote of thanks by the club for his talk. Apples were served. Y. W. C. A. A very helpful talk on "Daily Bible S t u d y" was enjoyed at the T h u r s d ay evening meeting. Miss Beanblossom quoted Clar ence T. Swift, former pastor of church, Lansing, and Plymouth many and useful were the sayings by this author as to the great need of more intimate acquaintance with God's W o r d. RESOLUTIONS. Whereas we have learned with deep regret o f . t he death of H o n. H e n ry Chamberlain of T h r ee Oaks, and Whereas M r. Chamberlain was for many years a member of the State Board of Agriculture and a conspicuous figure in public affairs, Therefore be it Resolved, T h at the State Board of Agriculture recognizes the faith services of M r. ful and efficient twelve Chamberlain during years of his m mbership upon that board and his untiring efforts in behalf of the Agricultural College. Resolved, T h at as a member of the the bodv politic who felt the full re sponsibility of citizenship and who was distinguished for his active in terest in agriculture and his earnest effort to promote the welfare of that important industry, an appreciative tribute of respect and grateful re- cogn tion of services performed are due his n v m o ry from this body. Resolved, T h at in the passing of M r. Chamberlain we are made un- happ ly mindful of the rapid disap pearance of that staunch band of pioneer public men w ho have been so important a factor in the develop ment of the state. Resolved, T h at these resolutions be entered in the records of the board and an engrossed copy sent to M r. Chamberlain's famdy. J. L. S-N'YDER, A. M. B R O W N, / \ Committee. DEBATING CLUB. T he meeting of the debating club last T h u r s d ay evening was an ex ceptionally interesting one, both on account of the subject discussed, and the fame of the debators. T he subject under discussion was, " R e solved that a progressive inheritance tax should be levied by the Federal government," the affirmative of which was uphe'd by M r. Gunson, while Prof. Hedrick defended the negative. As is customary when these two gentlemen debate, neither one knew upon which side of the question he was to debate, but after some little discussion it was settled satisfactorily to both sides. T he masterful ora torical eloquence of the affirmative were met with quiet humor and con vincing arguments by the negative and it was only with great difficulty reached a decision that the judges slightly in favor of the negative. A delightfully candid criticism by the critic followed in which the de bators were both roundly censured and highly praised. T he meeting was a decided success and the mem bers are very grateful to the de bators for their efforts. T he preliminaries for choosing the team to debate against Ypsi. oc curred last Saturday evening, and the following men were successful in securing a place to debate in the semi-finals: F. M.

He states that while they did have a time cold snap at that place some ago, reports of damage done w as greatly exaggerated. H is many friends trust that he may return in the spring much improved.

QUALITIES VERSUS FACTS. BY E L B E RT H U B B A R D. It is qualities that fit a man for a life of usefulness, not the mental possession of school form character, that best helps to not the one that imparts the most information, is the college the future will demand. facts. T he in the the world I do not k n ow of a single college that or university focuses on qualities. I do not know of a university in America, except ing Tuskegee, that prohibits the use of tobacco among its students. At Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, Colum bia, and Princeton, cigarettes are optional, but a stranger, seeing the devotion to them, would surely sup pose cigarette T he smoking was compulsory. boy who does not acquire the tobacco habit at college is regarded as ec centric. Many of the professors teach the cigarette habit by example. At all of our great colleges, gymna sium work is optional. Instead of physical culture there is athletics, and those who need the gymnasium most are ashamed to be seen there. H ow would the scientific cultiva practice of tion of these do ? Bodily Qualities : Health of diges tion, circulation, breathing, manual skill, vocal speech, and ease in hand ling all muscles. decision, Mental Qualities: Painstaking, patience, perseverance, courage, following directions, tact, concentration, insight, observation, mental activity, accuracy, and mem ory. Moral Qualities: Putting oneself in another's place, or thoughtfulness for others, which includes kindness, courtesy, good cheer, honesty, fidel ity to a promise, self-control, self- reliance, and self-respect. If you knew of a college that made a specialty of qualities, where the teachers were persons of quality would you not send your boy there ? And if you would send your boy to such a college, would not others do so, too ? These things being true, will we not as a people soon decide to pay teachers enough to secure quality?—which is not presuming to say we have none now. Would not such a school as this evolve through the law of supply and de mand, a college that approximated the ideal.— Cosmopolitan. B O O KS A D D ED TO T HE LIBRARY SINCE OCTO BER LAST.
