THE, M-A.-C- RECORD V O L. XX T U E S D A Y, MARCH 9, 1915. NO. 22 W H AT T HE SMITH-LEVER ACT MEANS TO MICHIGAN. Federal aid for extension work in the several states was first provided by the Smith-Lever Act of 1914. This aid is supposed to be used through the medium of the agricultural col leges, and it differs from all other Federal aids to agricultural colleges in that money appro priated by the Federal Government must be met with equal amounts by the state govern ment. The nature of the work and the co-op erative relationship is shown by the following quotation from the law: "Co-operative agricultural extension shall consist of the giving of instruction and practi in agriculture and home cal demonstrations economics to persons not attending or resident in said colleges in the several communities, and imparting to such persons information on S3.id subjects through field demonstrations, publications, and otherwise, and this work shall be carried on in such a manner as may be mutually agreed upon by the Secretary of Ag riculture and the state agricultural colleges re ceiving the benefits of this act." Ten thousand dollars will be received by Michigan this year and will be continued in definitely year after year. This sum does not have to be met by the state. In addition to this sum Michigan will also receive this year $18,002, which sum must be met with an equal appropriation from the state. Next year the addition to the $10,000 will be .$33,004, which must also be met by the state. This additional amount keeps on increasing until in 1923 it amounts to $123,016, making $133,016 from the the Federal Government and $123,016 from state government, or a total of $256,032 to be used for extension work in "agriculture and thereafter home economics." For every year the same amount will be available. It is to be noted that equal emphasis is placed, in the bill, upon "agriculture" and "home economics." This means that much more attention will be given to the latter than ever was deemed neces sary and that the farm women of Michigan are about to come into their due. It is to be remembered that the above ever increasing sums must be met by money from M. A. C. and this is one of the many very important reasons why M. A. C. should receive a fifth mill.

Tib- betts, faithful members of this association. Following a few appro priate r e m a r ks by the company arose and, in silence, d r a nk a toast to the memory of this loved and respected member. Later the in evening appropriate resolutions were adopted. '73, as he has been one of the most toastmistress, the Dr. F r a nk Kedzie, of the department of chemistry at the College, was present, as the guest of honor. W h en he was introduced and greeted h im with the following song: T u n e: " J o hn Brown's B o d y :" the company arose The M. A.

How we wish we could have met you with a bright and shining band, It was j u st the t h i ng we wanted but it otherwise was planned To feast and toast and roast you and extend the glad r i g ht hand, So we go singing on. Chorus: Dr. Kedzie's address was most pleasing, bright a nd entertaining, yet sound and full of encouragement. By a chart he emphasized the steady growth of the College attendance and he paid a high tribute to the 20 y e a r s' of service given by President Snyder.

THE LOXC SHORT COURSE. The fifty m en who graduated from the two-year last week a re en long short course in agriculture titled to much consideration by t he M. A. C. Asso- cation. These m en have spent two w i n t e rs of 16 weeks each at M. A. C, taking up regular studies and four- laboratory work pursued by the regular year students, with a schedule t h at would m a ke the majority of regulars wince. Their period of stay at M. A. C. h as been, in all, nearly the same as a year's work. They are loyal supporters of M. A. C. Even the eight weeks' short course m en are, accord t e rm ing to a letter appearing in the RECORD last by one of our extension men, sometimes more loyal t h an the graduates. We need more exponents of sci entific farming, and more real support of M, A. C. in the farming communities, by the farmers themselves. May the M. A. C. Association welcome this new sup port. E d i t or M. A. C. RECORD: I am strongly in favor of having a good gymnasium r a t h er t h an a library, if one of tnese two structures needs be sacrificed. Any t h i n k i ng a l u m n us knows t h at systematic exercise is essential to the well be ing and development of the s t u d e n t .' W h at chance is there now for the t r a i n i ng or development of the youth at M. A. C? Absolutely no opportunity is t he answer. The crowded condition of the Armory, to gether with t he lack of efficient apparatus, makes it impossible for the students as a whole to get satis faction from it. As to whether all the students would elect a cource in gymnasium is h a rd to answer, but I know t h at t he advantages gained by those w ho do carry on systematic t r a i n i ng will be well worth the expenditure for a good gamnasium. Classes in gym nasium work are compulsory in some colleges. W hy could not M. A. C. place in her curriculum a similar course when the gymnasium is completed? A good gymnasium would indeed be a boon to athletics, insofar that hidden talent would have op p o r t u n i ty for expressing itself. Many "green h o r n s" m a ke the best athletes with a little training, a nd timely suggestions by one who teaches or coaches in athletics will do wonders where possibly nothing else would. '14 A L U M N U S. UNITED WE STAND. Dear Editor M. A. C. RECORD: the leaven Your editorial recently h as furnished which I hope will leaven the whole lump. I view the comments as they a re offered with a deal of interest. There seems to be a general realization of M. A. C.'s need for assistance from the legislature, by all alumni who have so far expressed themselves, b ut what are the alumni themselves doing to further t he work? Our alma m a t er h as done nobly in spite of t he fickle attitude and actions of the legislature of two years ago. The trials a nd e m b a r r a s s m e n ts of those in charge of affairs during these two years have been acute to a degree. But they have done their best and too they have been laying their plans for the future development as well. The present agitation for a gymnasium fostered by students and very young alumni at the suggestions of those personally concerned, is to be deeply re gretted. T he effect of such side play detracts from the m a in issue a nd works only ill, by dividing the sentiment in the great college family. Those whose duty it is to direct the affairs of our great institu tion, and who are doing t h at duty conscientiously and with wise foresight, need t he united support of the rest of the familv, the children, so to speak, of M. A. C. I can only compare t h is spontaneous agitation to the sudden petulant outbursts of a boy in his early teens who suddenly discovers t h at he knows more t h an his father. We as older alumni of the institu tion, knowing this tendency of youth to fly wild at any impulse, directed in the form of mass meetings, favor, by should use every endeavor in our power to express our support of those whose j u d g m e nt a nd care a re guiding M. A. C. so safely a nd surely to the high life of our commonwealth place in the educational and nation. Such support should come through these columns a nd in no u n c e r t a in terms. these orators at the moment in popular We look back with little pride on the m a ny stu dent demonstrations, strikes, etc., and realize keenly simply that such outbursts of student- enthusiasm add to the weight of responsibility which those in charge of affairs m u st carry. Join with me, brothers and sisters of '04, in t he effort to make our legislators realize the meaning and need to M. A. C. a nd Michigan agricultural de velopment of the one-fifth mill appropriation.

The regular Hort. Club meeting last week was held Wednesday afternoon, and addresses given by sev eral prominent people in attendance at " F a r m e r s' Week." E. I. Gibson, of the Western Michigan De velopment Bureau, talked on t he work of t he bureau. Granger Whitney, of Williamsburg, emphasized t h at on the small orchard the box pack a nd "direct to the consumer" would help settle a good m a ny troubles. Hawley, of Ludington, said thoroughness a nd truthfulness were the keynotes to success in the fruit business. Mr. Rogers, a graduate of Wisconsin, now - a fruit raiser in northern Michigan, brought out the point t h at successes in fruit raising are not as num erous as formerly and advised intensive methods. Riker, a senior, gave the history of t he Hort.. Club, and Taylor, also '16, told what the graduates of t he Hort. d e p a r t m e nt are doing. t h at THE M. A. C. RECORD. 5 PORTRAIT PAINTER CHOSEN.
