T he fall term party given by the the Sororian Society was held in Armory Saturday night. T h o u gh no elaborate decorations were used the pennants and pillows, the indispensible, were neatly ar- 1. u.ged and iiiaoL- die an now quite informal..

T he committee succeeded in hav ing the floor in splendid condition for dancing, and many voiced their sentiments, that they never heard the college orchestra do better. One of the special features was a dance in "semi-darkness," during which Mary: Allen, '09, and May Herbert favored the participants with a duet, " T he Garden of R o s e s ." P r e s. and M r s.

After the botanical laboratory, which was considered by many to be the most imposing in the country at the time, burned in 1S90, the leg to appropriate islature was urged $20,000, but $10,000 was all that could be had. T he sum given was insufficient to build according to the contemplated future needs of the college, but the building which w as Anally dedicated in 1892 was large enough for the few years to follow. F or the last eight years the classes in plant physiology have been lim ited to ten students each and many have been turned away. T he large enrollment in the department re cently has necessitated an addition which will not be long in comple tion. three small rooms As the building now stands it contains for classes and one large room besides the offices. T he new addition will contain five good sized rooms. T he basement story will be made into one large room, while the other t wo will be divided into two rooms each. T he basement will be given to the study of plant physiology. T he rooms in the first and second stories will be used for different sub jects in different terms. T he main entrance to the addition wiM be outside, just south of the old .»... ding.

WILL HOLD NEXT MEETING IN THE WOODS. T he Foresters Club will hold its next meeting in the River wood-lot in a large tent belonging to the de partment. Prof. Baker is making the course as realistic as possible and has aided very much in making the forestry course a popular one at the college. T he discussion which has hereto fore been carried out on Wednesday evenings in one of the class rooms will be made cheerful by an almost real foresters' camp-fire. T he sub jects under discussion next W e d n e s day night will be "Michigan F a rm Wood-lots," led by F r a nk Darling and J. F. Campbell and " G r o w i ng Trees for T i m b e r ," by J. C.

The grading has been almost com pleted and all that remains to do outside is the landscaping which will make the building a beautiful monument to Michigan's agricul tural progress. respect. All the short courses will be given in this building except t he special departmental work which has well equipped laboratories in other buildings. T HE PURPOSE. The aim in the establishment of these courses several vears ago. was to aid in the general uplift of the agricultural status of the State. They have been a co-partner with the granges, farmers' clubs and farmers' institutes. Each of these divisions have kept in close touch with the others and have not only resulted in almost invaluable bene fit to a very large number of per sons, but to the wealth and culture of the State as well. The short course? offer an op portunity to young men who have not the time or means to take a regular course of technical train ing. They embrace the rudiments of the regular courses and while they cannot give the polish or cul ture that is often derived from the opportunitv of four years of col lege life. discipline and social nevertheless the ability of the voting men to do is increased often many fold. It educates him to see his opportunities which is really the essence of modern education. The instruction is absolutely prac tical- E Q U I P M E N T.

It is not remarkable or strange that the conditions of farm life a few years ago often compelled the boy of energy to wish to get off the farm. Prices of farm products were very low. A mere living, and not a very good one at that, was all that the average farmer could expect. T h e re were few opportunites for social en joyment. T he mail came when one had time to go after it, which was often not more than once a week. T he farmer saw little money. He endeavored to supply the needs of his family by raising a little of every thing. He would try to trade his surplus for groceries and clothing. Under such conditions the calling did not appeal to young men. take their friends A great change within the last few years, however, has taken place. T he telephone and free mail delivery- has changed the social life of the country. T he farmer is isolated no longer. He is in direct touch with the world. T he the activities of still automobiles will soon w o rk greater wonders for the social side of country life. Y o u ng people will choose from an area many miles in extent. Y o u ng J o n es will not. marry the girl on the next farm because she is the only one he knows, but may seek the hand and heart of a fair maiden many miles away.

T h is condition will maintain high prices in farm products in the future. T he farmer is coming into his own. His day is at hand, provided he has the intelligence and energy to command the situation. T he old way of do ing things will not do. He must adopt new methods and must bring to his w o rk a knowledge of the latest and best way of doing things. He must take advantage of the ex perience and discoveries of others. He must be intelligent, energetic and aggressive. T he young man of brains and energy can now afford to remain on the farm. T h e re are no better opportunities for him any where, but he must use his head. He must get in touch with the latest and best in his special line of work. His parents should give him a chance. T h ey should encourage him to push they are out and learn much which unable T he boy teach needs inspiration and a love for his calling.

The idea of agricultural educa in Ger tion probably originated many, for as early as 1853, the Prussian government had a num ber of colleges with scientific de partments pertaining, toward agri cultural education as well as many model located farms and schools mainly in the vicinity of Munich. The law of Prussia was that every to man should send his children school until fourteen years of age, at his own expense: if he had the means of paying for education, at the expense of the state if he had not. they were in manufactories Children were permitted to be employed at twelve years of age, but the pro prietors were compelled to connect a school with their establishments that the education of the children in the primary branches might be completed. the the head. of human The Prussian idea of education was one that involved the training of the hand and heart, as well as the education of T he history vast portion persevering which narrates industry that subdues a wild, rude world into a luxuriant harvest field, had remained very largely in obliv ion previous to the evolution of such an idea.

T he ordinance of 1787 for the the Northwestern government of Territory ordains, "That, religion, morality and knowledge being nec essary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and the means of education shall for ever be encouraged." Michigan, a state formed out of this territory, has lived faithfully up to the spirit of this famous ordinance. H er lib erality to her institutions of learn ing, and their success, have given her a wide and honorable fame throughout the Nation, and to no considerable degree throughout the world. . composed of Michigan's pioneership in agri cultural education is due probably entirely to the. efforts of the Michi gan State Agricultural Society; an organization about sixty members of the State Legis lature of 1849. The society was incorporated March 31, of that year and is still in active existence and a staunch friend of the college. Its members of that early date were educated men from the east and lived according to eastern customs and manners. the people upon to New England customs and The society instituted annual fairs and according New York invited great men from the west and east to address the vital topics of the day. Journals of agriculture were very few but the attitude of Sir Humphrey Davy, as early as 1801, in a course of lec tures in England and the revival of the subject in 1844 by Bonsingalt, in FYance, both of whose works were very familiar to several mem bers of the society, put an entirely new in Michigan and later in many other states in America- light upon subjects the T he question itnd agricultural It was only a short step for the fever to spread from the society to the legislature. So when the State Normal School was established in 1849, the law providing for it had for its object, besides that of educat ing teachers, " to give instruction in the mechanic arts and in the art of chem husbandry istry." immediately to whether a similar de arose as instituted partment should be in connection with the University. T he society, through its secretary, M r. Holmes, went even farther advocated a college upon a and separate farm independent of, the University and governed by a state board of agriculture. T he agricul tural society became a faction of the that year legislature fought seriously any half way against measure or half hearted attempts. T h e re yet remained 22 sections of the salt springs lands unappropri ated. T he question of supporting such a college naturally brought up these 13,345 acres. A bill was writ ten by a member of the society pro viding for a separate farm and col lege. and A G R I C U L T U R AL SCHOOL IX CON V E N T I O N. M r.

But he would submit it to the convention to say if it were proper to bind up lands so that if this experiment failed, or the people became entirely dissatisfied with it, they were to be bound hand and foot in regard to the disposition of these lands. He did not like the idea of fixing these twenty-two sec tions of salt spring lands, as to take them out of the hands of the people entirely, and place them beyond the action of the legislature in any con tingency. He would therefore vote against the amendment. Mr. Crouse was opposed to-the whole proposition, and would at the proper time move to strike out. He was entirely opposed to submit ting this pro posed institution to the R e g e n ts of the University. the management of the time was Mr. Cornell did not know if this were the time to start an agricultural school.

T he Province is building a new agricultural college in the neighbor hood of Regina. M r. Rutherford has been profes sor of animal husbandry at Ames and Winnipeg. THE NATIONAL CORN E X P O SITION. M. A. C.'s exhibit, under the direction of Dean Shaw, consists chiefly in flax, sugar beets, pepper mint, beans, and the other more common cereals. One of the feat ures of the exhibit is the work of the college in plant breeding. Along with the official duties of directing the exhibit, Prof. S h aw will call upon one or the western two of agricultural colleges. THE F A R M E R 'S IMPORTANCE (Continued from last week.) In times of panic it is invariably the working man who suffers, and more particularly the w o r k i ng man w ho has to share in the direct ac cumulation of the nation's wealth. No one ever heard of a farmers' panic. T h ey are not troubled with strikes and riots and long night ses sions of attempted compromise with employers or employees. the recently named T h e re is a strong tendency at the present time of government owner in ship, government competition, the heritance tax, elimination of ' middle m a n' and establish ment of a certain phase of democra cy to call it so Socialists have cialism but socialism too strictly the application of the Golden to American Ride business methods and so this spirit making for a greater and more uni versal has in each other been called just Americanism. to be popular Americanism. interest implies tried It is not a political party yet the promoting principles underlying this spirit are as true as any that ever created a political distinction. It stands for democratic republican ism, dominating principles, liberty, man's control of his circumstances, reason for faith, optimism, dignity of labor, earthly happiness, machine power in the basic activities, health, wealth, purpose, knowledge, suc cess, economy, salvation b y . - t he knowledge of energy, the establish ment of the Spirit of the World the Kingdom of God, rather than and a mathematical interpretation in ideals and facts of science of terms of the categories. T h e se are only a few of the qualities of Amer to icanism but they are sufficient portray the the general aspect of new spirit. factory through mail It is only a matter of time when the nation will be run more eco nomically in every branch. But if this spirit should continue, (and it will with the growth of knowledge) it cannot be long until the profits of the merchant will be saved bv the consumer bv purchasing direct from the order houses. T he immense profits de clared by express companies will be individuals and distrib taken from uted among the people of the na tion by the establishment of a par the cels post service; exhorbitant regular mail tariffs on transportation must be lowered by legislation, and a Broader - supremacy aspect from without necessarily detracting the powers of separate states. in connection with to our federal W i th this leveling process, which it necessarily is, there must be the accompaniment of stress and shocks,. and the debris and loose stuffs, soci eties, surplus as lie washed down the current and scat tered by the rolling torrent to fill the hollow places. it were, will that It is not at all probable the farmer can be caught in the storm.

P r o p h e ts are always disdained. Society has a queer habit of nailing them to the cross or making them drink a cup of hemlock. These are the penalties it inflicts for thinking think it a disgrace out of the rutted line. A certain type of the American people have become so badly scared at any new idea that thev really to show any appreciation or take any notice signs. Herein lies one of the duties of our colleges. T h ey are exercising their most they important duty when teach the young men of the nation alertness in the comprehension of its needs. -extraordinary of H a v i ng seen one manner in which men are often t h r o wn out of em ployment there isyet to be taken into consideration the fact that another kind of people are unemployed be cause of for work. their dislike T he problem of caring for this class the former is very different and much more complex. from O ur social machine which deals with this latter class may need re pairing in this, new atmosphere of , if so, it is not Americanism, and improbable that the same wrenches and oils will apply to similar parts of both. We will always have our poor with us, our slums and coolies. We will always have our poor houses and reformatories and taxes for their support. But it is more honorable and is accompanied with less agon}' to have the " s u r p l us element" bid ding for our business to be compelled to contribute the profits of business for their support in the form of taxes. than far Since the problem of this reform must be solved by the producers and conservers of wealth it is plaus ible that the time to study the situ ation is now. It will be impossible to utilize new lands on the spur of learn the moment. Better by the means by which the greatest production of a single acre can be procured.

Of increasing interest to visitors to the college and to the students as well, is the engineering museum lo cated on the balcony completely sur rounding the big experimental labor atory in the center of the engineer ing building.

Only recently- did the engineering depart ment at the college start to collect material to place on exhibition in this reason this museum, and the entire onlv a small portion of available space the cases is at in present in use, although it is the in tention to fill the other cases as soon as possible.

Greeted with cheers for " T he Insurgents," D e P a uw yells and the Indiana series Senator Albert J. Beveridge appeared before the stud ents yesterday morning for a fifty minute address. " T he people of America," said Dr. Bryan, "love Senator Beveridge, because, in the words of Kipling, he is a first rate fighting man." Senator Beveridge said : " In what 1 have to say I wish to try to be helpful. It will not be long un til you will have to go up against to say the world. W h at I have will not be new—nothing important is new. W h en I was in college visitors lectured on art and the like, but it was not particularly brass tacks for use in life which was a brass tack problem with me. " It is a mistake to say that modern civilization eliminates suc cess, that the intricate organization does away with possibilities of in dividual success. No period has been so ripe for individual success if the right man is there : T he op portunity is waiting if you have sufficient equipment and have the right stuff in you. W h en the great general of human affairs, Fate, calls, you must be ready for him." T he speaker illustrated his point from the lives of railroad men of the west, a nd from the lives of George Horace Lorrimer, and M c- Clure, w ho w as a Valparaiso boy. He continued : " T he job is wait ing for you if you are ready. Y ou must be ready. Y ou can't fool the world. think of life as a great department store stocked with packages of success and fail ure, with Fortune as the clerk. You get whatever you have paid I sometimes for. Y ou get success in exchange for crimson dollars coined from your life's blood. "I would like to tell you some thing to take home and think about, some things I take to be important for young men. T he first is cour fearlessness. Don't be afraid age, of the world." Here, the senator reverted to his favorite illustration, the Bible, and told of the story of David and Goliath. David, he typi fied as a "peach," and added, " T he most elegant speech is the simple speech of the people." T h at David fought in his o wn way, "without fear," and with the words of any man w ho ever conquered anything, 'I come to thee in the name of the Lord,' " he regards as the most im portant lesson of the story. "If you go up against all problems with that spirit you will win. I t 's the spirit of J o an of A rc and of W a s h ington. T he same situation exists today for the man w ho wins is he who, when downed, jumps up and says 'you never touched me.' W h at we need is not good winners, but good losers." T h i s, he illustrated from the life of the great Japanese reconstructionist, Marquis Ito, w ho was "down and out" a dozen times. "Some men are eternally young. T he men w ho succeed are always young in spirit, they have the im petuosity of youth, tempered. Wait your hour. It is sure to come. W h en the hour comes strike and fear not. "A heard second quality is determi t h is nation. Y ou have preached many times before, but every man w ho has succeeded will tell you the stone walls that are raised before us, if we approach them with determination, prove to have doors which we had not sus pected.

In order to get it we must watch our habits. Bad habits let enemies in. I tell you, you can't afford to drink. N ot for moral reasons, but just because you can't afford it." H e re the speaker inserted an ac count of an interview with an east ern college man. " T h e r e 's never a moment when I can't see a young man. I told this one that his chest was too narrow. He shouldn't get into business in N ew Y o r k. T h e y 'd rush the life out of him. T h ey are the colleges of sending out from Indiana and the middle west some young barbarians w ho would elbow such as him off the earth. Look to your health. If it were a bank ac I have count you would care for it. a boy of my own now. Some day I'm going to send him to a western college. He shall be educated in a psychological atmosphere where men want education so bad they are willing to starve for it." T he speaker gave several suggestions, " Don't swear. Y ou can't afford to express every human emotion with Every an oath. Don't be rude. man's worst enemy is himself. You can't blame others for your failures. Be neat. Be modern.

COLLEGE BUS HEADQUARTERS THE TENTH INTERNATIONAL T he tenth international was all that was hoped for. T he satis factory situation of the week could not be more briefiv summarized. No check has been experienced in the steady g r o w th of this great show. It has gone on conquering, each year a climax to be surmounted the following. T he record is a consistent one. twelvemonth have the most Magnificently exhibitors arisen to their obligations in all sec tions, and the thousands of farmers pouring toward the city were am that ply rewarded by the spectacle It was the awaited their view. most edifying, inspiring of all the shows held in Packing- town. The- agricultural colleges were fairly dominant in the meat-making sections. T h ey practice what they preach at these colleges. T i me was when denial of their knowledge of to be things practical was wont heard, but those voices are stilled. Facing the achievements of the past few years in the International arena, no critic raises a note against the practical ability of the college forces in the breeding and feeding of meat- making animals. T h is fact alone is worth all the International has cost, as it establishes on impregnable foundations our agricultural educa tion as expounded at the land-grant colleges. While it was very " black " inside the big building, as has been largely customary in past years, yet out in the pens the " red, white and roans " achieved glorious Carlot prizes on fed and feeder cattle fell to Short-horns. But about every thing in sight in the single- animal fat stock show fell to the A n g u s. record. T he M. A. C. RECORD. J. W. KNAPP & CO. are known by their low prices. J. W.
