T.he State Board at its meeting on Oct. 27 passed the following reso lution : this T h at Resolved, institution establish a division of Veterinary Science, the purpose of which shall be to train men to practice the vet erinary profession. F or a number of years there has been a strong demand on the part of the veterinarians of the state that the college organize a division of Veterinary Science for the purpose of training men to practice that pro fession. T he State Veterinary Association has memoralized the board several times, requesting that such action be taken. T he legisla ture of the state passed an act au thorizing specifically the board to establish College. a Veterinary While the live stock men of the state have not taken formal action, that the it is confidently believed establishing of such a division would meet with their hearty approval. T he live stock interests of the state are very great, and yet the state is not training men to protect these large interests. T he state trains men to protect our fruit interests ; physicians to protect the health of our people, and lawyers to protect their civil rights, but no effort is made to train men to ward off the diseases which are liable at any time to cause great destruction to the live stock interests of -the state. East year several hundred thousands of dollars were spent by the state and by the national government in fighting adisease within our borders. Tb/ere is also a great demand for men who are capable of carrying on inspection work for cities and large corporations. T he pure food law, which went recently, makes it necessary for the govern ment to employ a very large num ber of highly trained men. It does seem therefore reasonable that the state should not neglect this work longer. almost goes without saying that such work is one phase of agricultural education, and should be developed and carried on under the auspices of this institution. into effect It This action on the part of the board marks another milestone in the effort to make the college serve the highest interests of the state.

T he entire program was carried out, and the enrollment reached 44So. E u g e ne Davenport, Dean of the Agricultural college of the Uni versity of Illinois, gave a very in teresting address Friday evening, entitled, " T he Next Step in Educa tion." l ie insisted that a broader field of action be presented to the student by introducing the activities of life in industrial training. T he feature of this, he suggests, chief shall be instruction and practice in agriculture. He gave a very com prehensive review of the field of agriculture, mentioning the training in the rural schools and high schools, with suggestions on improvement. He argues against the establish ment of secondary agri cultural schools, and especially com to in mended Michigan's augurate the teaching of agriculture in high schools, and the emphasis she is placing funda mentals of the five fields of agri culture, viz. : soils, crops, horticul ture, animal husbandry and farm management. special upon plan the Those whom we know attended the convention were Prof. W.

T h r ee of these have always lived there, and talked from a life-long experience. T he other has worked long enough to thoroughly understand his subject. there As is well known, Fennville is situated in the heart of the fruit belt of Michigan. T he climate and soil ideal, and growers are thoroughly up-to-date. is T he first speaker was Air. U. S. Crane, w ho spoke on the peach in dustry. He discussed the methods of production from the first spray ing in the spring, through the suc ceeding thinning, picking and packing. His talk was closed with a few remarks on the joys of the fruit grower. sprayings, the Mr. I I. E. T r u ax then took up the apple industry in the same man ner, l ie told of the improvements in the methods of apple growing, such as spraying and thinning, and mentioned some of the prominent growers. T he chief varieties that are being grown were also men tioned. T he small fruit industry was care- rully covered by Mr. O. W. Schleus- sner, of N ew York Citv, w ho has had practical experience at Fenn ville. He first took up the gorse- berry, giving methods of picking and the prices obtained. After this he told of cherries, currants and the brambles. Mr. I I. E. Knowlton took up the commission to Chicago, shipping Fennville, facilities of showing that more than half of the either fruit went through or direct the growers. There are four companies in the business of transportation ; namely, the U . S. Express, the Fruit G r o w e r s' Asso ciation, and the two boat lines. houses from Next, M r. E. E.

T h is orchard was set out about sixty-five years ago by Prof. L. I I. Bailey, now of Cor nell. It consists of sixty acres and contains many of the leading com mercial varieties of apples. Al though it has been neglected of late years, the owners have sold 500 barrels of fruit and are still picking. Each visitor ate all he could, and then filled his pockets. Many in teresting things were observed, and the trip was thoroughly enjoyed by all. At the meeting Wednesday eve ning M r. T h o m as Gunson will speak on the Greenhouse Industry at Ashtabula, Ohio.

" S T U D E NT S I D E S H O W S" AGAIN. Ernest F ox Nichols, M. S., D. He, the new president of Dartmouth in his inaugural address touched upon some of the same things that F r e s. Schurman did in his address before the National Association of State Universities. T he R E C O RD last week gave an extract from the latter's address en titled -Student Sideshows." Fol lowing is a part of Fres. Nichols' inaugural which presents a different light upon the subject of college athletics. "Some young men appear to have- that a show grown shy and to feel of enthusiasm over ' ideas reveals either doubtful breeding, a lack of balance, or small experience with the world. " M ay we not henceforth live our college life on a somewhat higher plane, where real simplicity, natural ness and downright sincerity replace all traces of sophistication and w r o ng ideals. Let genuine enthu siasm find freer and more fearless expression, that we may become more manly, strong and free. W hy can't some., college men stop mas querading in an assumed mental a p a t hy and be spontaneously honest r "Some w ho have sought an ex planation of this slightly altered tone in college life blame intercol legiate athletics for the changed conditions, but 1 am not able to find the cause there, and believe, as I have already suggested, that it lies, far deeper in the changed conditions of society and our national life. "Intercollegiate sports do more to unite the whole college and give it a sense of solidaritv than any other undergraduate activity, and thus serve a worthy purpose. More over, the lessons of spwrt are lessons of life and it is the moral world rather than the physical benefit of athletics which we can ill afford to lose from student life. T h ey effect teach a high degree of self ively control, attention, concentrated prompt and vigorous action, instant and unswerving obedience to orders, and a discipline in accepting with out protest a close ruling even if a w r o ng one, in the generous belief that he w ho made it acted in good faith. Sport, like faith, knows no court of appeal. " T h at a wider competition in scholarship than we now have would produce some useful results lies be those w ho yond question, but that expect most of all things from it will be disappointed may be confi T he M. A. C. RECORD. than dently predicted. It seems to me that the larger part of t he ardor students show for athletic contests is due more to the appeal which bodily combat always makes to the dramatic sense than to the competi It is t he manly tive idea in itself. the victory struggle more which men go out to see. conceive how we are to clothe scholarship contests with a dramatic setting—-as well attempt to stage the book of J o b, aptly called 'the drama of the inner life.' T he drama of scholarship must ever be a drama of the inner life which will never draw a cheering multitude nor light bonfires." I can not FORESTRY CLUB. T h e following officers were elected at the close of the meeting on Oct. 20, 1909 : Chief Forester—Irving Gilson. Asst. Chief Forester—II. C. Hil ton. Chief of Records—G. L. Dim- mick. R a n g e r — F. G. Wilson. Hereafter the club will meet every other Tuesday cxening, the senior foresters will utilize the inter vening Tuesday evenings for gen eral discussion of civil service ques tions. T he questions given out by Prof. Baker will be allotted equally they will be among the seniors; made up in detail and reported on. T he meeting was opened bv talks from the men w ho were on the range last summer. Messrs. Gilson and Bushnell spoke of their work in Utah and Montana. T he follow ing talk was given bv Mr. J. C. Decamp, w ho was located in the Kootenai National Forest during the summer : FIRST IMPRESSIONS OK A FOREST GUARD. rough Take a man from his college studies, let him have a knowledge of tree classification and distribu tion, let him be able to identify timbers with the aid of a hand lens and pocket knife and their special and particular uses,—just what we are getting this term under Prof. Baker, surveying, botany and the rest of the college program—then pack him off to a national forest, make him walk at top speed all day, or bump up and down on a restless horse over trails, make him do his own cooking, his own washing, make him sleep on the ground where night overtakes him even if it rains and the wind tosses the tops of the tall pines, make him work fighting fires until his knees wobble under him, and, above all, put him in charge of a crew of men who were roughing it before he was old enough to walk alone and w ho probably know more about the work than he does, and you have the duties and re sponsibilities of a college bred forester, just what every graduate of our forestry department will be up against sometime. We worked this summer on the Kootenai national forest which fol lows the Kootenai river, in north western Montana, from the Cana dian border across into Idaho. T he supervisor, an old M. A. C. man, has charge of the forest; under him' are rangers, and under them are forest guards, each having definite work to do in the care of the forest. forest guards, and we We were estimated timber, mapped lands, and fought fires. t he forest After passing the civil service assistant examination the. work of estimating oversees timber, mapping, etc. He may be by himself or with a crew, or it may be advisor to the supervisor and his representative in various dealings through the forest. assistant is: college " T he forest trained, since forestry is some day to be a great science in this country. T he civil service regulation requires much technical knowledge, but, as forestry is still in its infancy, his work after he passes the exami nation is plainly practical. As forest assistant Gaylord, w ho had a crew of men examining Union Pacific lands, said : " T h ey take it for granted you know how to live alone forty miles from the nearest postofHce ; so they quiz you on the technical sides." forest assistant Y et with the present develop ment of forestry, the living seems to be far more difficult for the col lege bred than the actual work of finding out how many board feet there are per acre. He must learn to live in camp with his men, and to boss them, and if he can't manage them he might as well quit the service. Practical woodsmen are apt to be suspicious -of college training and laugh sometimes at the queer ideas of the forest assistants. All of us wdio were out this that we never met summer agreed a finer lot of men than were the old rangers, always ready to explain or to share scant g r ub or their blankets, or to take another man's work be sides their own. But these men must be met on their own grounds ; if they can do something particu lar^' well, the young forester whose lot is cast with theirs for the time being must cultivate something— pacing with accuracy, running lines or estimating timber, shooting a rifle—in order to hold their respect. One of the most important things for a foresterto cultivate is unselfish ness, which sounds Sunday-school- ish but is nevertheless practical forestry. Camp life reveals all sides of a man in a very few w e e k s; long hard days, from dawn until dark, with camp to stake and supper to get at the end of t h e m; rainy days, with everything wet and miserable ; cold mornings with the tire to light and breakfast to cook ; each man has to give a little more than his share. tree But then there is the bright side when the wdiole crew is gathered about the fire after supper and the flames rush upwards, and the leaves in the very tops quiver; the tall pines and hemlocks cast 'weird shadows among themselves, and the pungent smoke drifts out over the valley with the wind. Later the fire slumps and it seems good to lie down on fragrant spruce boughs and watch the stars, or a pale cloud drift across the face of the moon just for a fleeting moment, for it is soon morning again and a thousand birds sing wildly of the new day. H e re are three rules learned as a result of the summer's work : 1. Strive with all energy to pass examination in the civil service April, 1910. 2. Practice accomplishing tasks regardless of surroundings. 3. Learn to work w i th the crew cheerfully and heartily whether in or out of camp. A GLIMPSE OF PRACTICAL FOR ESTRY. A paragraph from a letter re from one of the last year ceived fixtures. forestry men gives a glimpse of a forester's life during the first year ; "A log cabin, 12x16 feet, on the western slope of the continental di vide, the interior of which consists of a cook stove, a heating stove (which to-night is red hot), $40.00 worth of canned grub, a mess out fit, a bunk, t wo chairs, a table, and (You see I include myself as me. one of the interior I have been shut in by a snowstorm for two days until it seems I am a part of this shack.)

T he members consisted only of those w ho had achieved success in some particular included line, yet the qualifications prominence either in class room, athletics, college politics, etc. " T he early history of this chap ter is marked by the difficulties which surrounded every new ven ture.

" T he early years of the new So ciety were not marked by a rapid growth. In 1S98 the Morrill Chap ter was established at the Penn sylvania State College, and in 1900 and 1901 Illinois and Cornell were added to the list. W h en Michigan Agricultural College joined the list by organizing the Kedzie Chapter, a n ew feature was added. With fraternities other than honorary de the M. A.
