SECOND PRELIMINARY DE- BATES. THE SHORT COURSE-PAR LIAMENTARY CLUB. Has a Flattering Offer From That Coun try to Establish an Agricultural College There. Prof. C. D. Smith was called to Washington to confer last week with the Brazilian Ambassador, M r. Nabuco, w ho formally tendered him the presidency of Brazil's first A g ricultural College. T h o u gh no con tract has been signed it is quite probable that he will accept and will sail from N ew Y o rk on M ay 5. T h is action on the part of the South American nation has been made after a thorough canvass of the United States in search of the man best able to build up a system of agricultural education in that coun try and carries with it a correspond ingly attractive salary. T he resjjonsibilities of the posi tion are broad and far-reac]»ing. N ot only will he be intrusted with the duties of administration but also the working out of the details of a course suitable to the needs of the agricultural interests of that region. Coffee is now the principal crop but an effort will be made to introduce a diversified system of agriculture including the growing of grain and improved breeds of livestock. T he site of the first college will be at Piracicoba in the state of St. Paul, the southermost state of the country. W h en this is successfully established colleges will be estab It is lished in the other states. peculiarly significant that a repre sentative from this college, the first agricultural college in N o r th Amer ica, should be honored with the privilege of founding the first col lege of a similar nature in this South American Republic. BOARD OF AGRICULTURE TO BE ELECTED. Resolution to that Effect Passed by Con-Con. If the revised constitution is adopt ed when submitted to the people, the State Board of Agriculture will hereafter be elected by popular vote instead of appointed. T he present constitution provides that the Gov ernor of the State shall appoint in J a n u a ry of each alternate year two members to serve for a term of six years, and by air act of the legisla ture in 1905 provision was made for another member to be appointed from the upper peninsula. Accord ing last to the resolution passed Wednesday night the Board will be placed on exactly the same grounds as the Board of Regents of the University and will be elected in the same manner.

T h e re were three teams of six men each, each team debating before one of the literary societies at their reg ular literary meetings. We wish to thank the three societies for their courtesy to the debaters and their friends, and also the nine judges who so kindly gave their services. T he men winning four places will be rearranged and made up into two teams which will com prise the third preliminaries, to be held F e b. 29th.

Judges; Mr. Robinson, Mr. Culloni, Mr. Wright. As was announced last week, the question of Chinese immigration to the U. S. would be definitely set tled at the Debating Club. Messrs. Ingall and Mason argued the affirm ative, but the mass of evidence and arguments brought unanswerable forth by Messrs. Belknap and Hoff man so affected the judges that two of the three voted in favor of the latter. T h e re shall consequently be no further immigration of Chinese into our country. T he decision of the judges was followed by an open discussion, giving all members of the club an opportunity to air then- views upon the subject. the question, " R e T h is week solved, T h at the U. S. senators should be elected by popular vote," will be discussed by Messrs. Camp bell and McMillan on the affirma tive, and Messrs. Crane and Cavan- augh on the negative. Everybody is welcome to hear this discussion— R o om 7, College Hall, T h u r s d ay from 7 to 8 p. m. '06. J. H. Taylor, instructor in agri culture here last year, called OH col lege friends last week. He has been w o r k i ng in an architect's of fice at Battle Creek. Since the early part of this year's Short Course most of the first and second-year men have met regular ly, two or three times a week, for instruction and practice in parlia mentary law, under the direction of instructor F. W. H o w e. T he class numbers about 90 members, meets regularly in R o om 2 of the Dairy Building, and is organized under a constitution and by-laws as " T he Short Course Students F a r m e r s' Club." Their aim is to discuss without special preparation any sub ject of interest to the ordinary farm er, using the subject-matter as "lab oratory material " for parliamentary treatment and practice. the various motions when •' H o w e 's Handbook of Parlia mentary L sage " is used as the guide in such practice, and 8^ copies have been sold at a reduced price to supply the demands of the class. T he book has a unique arrange titles ment which displays only the of the book is opened flat in the middle, thus enabling the chairman or speak er to turn instantly and without con fusion to any motion proposed and find all the rules, exceptions, forms, and comments that govern its prop er use. T h is feature h as caused the book to be widely advertised by its publishers as the " Instantaneous Arbitrator " in parliamentary usage. the book in hand, the class W i th has been able from the outset to follow all the spontaneous motions offered by various members and to dispose of them in the proper order. frequently called to the chair without previous notice, and the rest have done their •best to entangle them with irregu lar motions.

In the issue of J a n u a ry 14th, I note mention of the whereabouts of a number of different students. but none of my class of 1878.
