Horticulture in San Diego Co., Cal.

SAMUEL €. PONDORE, CLASS ’91-.

No State in the Union promises such
success in horticultural persuits as does
California. In order to appreciate the
horticultural possibilities 1 will be neces-

sary to give a short description of the_

country, climate, soil and the’ cultivation,
planting and pruning of fruit trees. Also
the vegetables best adapted to the
county.
“~ San Diego couinty is quite hilly and
mountainous, but it is only the beautiful

- vation. They are very productive.
The valleys, as-a rule, are quite level,
having erand and picturesque scenery
‘around them. The land, net cultivated,
is mostly covered with brushes of differ-
ent growth and a few trees such as the
live oak, sycamore, poplar, etc.

President’s Address at the Public
Meeting of the Honorary Fra-
ternity, Dau Beta Pi,

BY GEO, &. SIMMONS OF THE OLYMPIC SOCIETY.

Ladies and gentlemen, fellow students .

In view. of the fact that but litle is
known of this society, so quietly does it
work, it seems, but.proper that something
nic be said at this meeting, ‘in regard
to its objects; and pera: also a brief
history be given of it.. ’

sprung into existence in “this country, .a
great many colleges which are purely
technical in their teachings, .Along with
their establishment comes a desire for a
society composed entirely of technical
students. Jt was this desire which let to
the establishment of the honorary society,
Tau Beta Pi. it was first perfected in
Lehigh University in +885, and is now
being talked of in a great many of the .
technical colleges of the country, A.
society of similar nature known as Phi-
Beta Kappa is old and well known, ip
colleges of liberal arts... oo

The objects of the. Tau Beta PE ‘are
clearly.set.forth in the. preamble to its:
constitution as follows: “To mark in.a~
fitting manner those who have conferred
honor upen their Alma Mater by a high:
degree of scholarship as under-graduates,
or by their subsequent attainments as
alumni, and to foster a spirit of liberal -

who desire to know what kind of a ‘man

With the presentation. of diplomas, col-
lege work ends. As a rule a ‘diploma
gives no indication as to the rank of its
possessor. In the eyes of a stranger, the
one to whom the graduate needs to show
a record of his ability if to anyone, it
reduces the valedictorian to the same
level with the man who graduates only
alter repeated re-exXaminations.

Ifa man’s college work may ever be
taken as ‘a criterion of his aptitude or
inability, it is especially applicable in the
technical course. Tau Beta Piis designed
to compensate forthe. deficiency af the
diploma, and the time is: coming, if it is

Nevertheless the argument is a poor one,
because such benefit is: special, not gen-

by this means to benefit its students, its

aim would be accomplished much better
if-ali members of a class were given parts
in. the program. As this is not done, the

argument that it s one of the aims of the .

be used in support of it: The only real

‘bearing of the argument under considera-

favoritism.

hearing the orations people not connected
withthe college are given some idea of

the werk done by it in developing its.

sense, however, is very narrow. It is

commencement show that the speakers
have been benefited by their college

are forced into the unequal contest and
then compelled to accept the
quences of a possible failure. What can
be mere unjust than this?

‘The method by which the orators are
selected is very wrong. It is based upon
the assumption that a student’s marks are
indicative of his scholarship, which as-

sumption is false. During the -earher
part of the course the classes are quite
often divided into sections for conven-
.. léfice as to numbers. In most cases the
_ seetions are taught by differant instruct-
ors from whom the students recetve their
7 marks. * It would be absurd to think
J thatia man under one insructor would be
“marked the same as one who was even
exactly his equal in the other division.
Without further discussion it must be
clear that during the first year or so of
the course the. records of the students
cannot be taken as measures of their

scholarship. .
This, however, is but a specific
instance... The same thing helds true all

through the course. The “personal equa-
tion” of the instructor, which, in so com-
plex a problem as the rating of a stu-
dent’s work must be a controlling factor;

his individual likes and dislikes; the inef-

ficacy of final examination standings in
showing what the students have done;

the use, by some students, of questionable .

methods to better their records; the fact

that the classwork of a student depends »

SO largely upon his traimmg prior to en-
Sern college, which training is

if the statements just made are true,
then certainly the assumpthion that
marks indicate scholarship, which asump-

tion is the basis of the present system, :is

il chosen and false and its falsity ‘carries
with it emphatic condemnation of that
system. «A buiding is not stronger than
its foundation.

The audiences which hear the orations
are not appreciative. No orator has yet
succeeded in interesting more than ‘a lit-
tle circle of his friends and relatives who
were there solely to hear him speak and

whose interest was all in 4a and would

not cease even were his speech one of

greater part of the audience the. impres-
sions made upon thém are as limited and

and of no utility whatever. :
The orations are supposed to be ia
structive and useful and if they . cannot
be called such of what use are they?
Let us see if they are of that nature.
On account of the nature of his audience
the speaker'cannot choose a subject ol
local impert, but must take one. of gen-
eralinterest. Yet it is expected of him,
who has completed a course which is only
the beginning, not the conclusion of his
education, that he will give useful mstruc-
tion to those who hear him, upon a sub-
ject with which he must necessarily be
unfamiliar. His hearers are, for the

At. the last’ meeting of the Natural
History Society, Professor Barrows gave
an amusing and instructive talk on the
foot habits of birds. The crow, for
instance, swallows a large. amount of
food ‘upon every occasion offered, and

‘then: at its leisure, regurgitates | it and eats.
The crow is also a lover of

it again.

ness rather than the beetle. The fungus
attacks the beetle in the larva state and
kills it in six or eight. hours; hence if the
spores of this fingus‘ceuld be scattered
throughout a whole field, if is quite prob-
able that the beetles. in’ that. eld would
soon depart. Professor Davis and Pro-
fessor Wheeler are now working to find
some medium in. which these spores may
be propagated. Should they succeed,
the raising of spores wil make one more
industry in which men can profitably
engage for the purpose of Jaying up
shekels.

The new forage plant on the farm,
Lathyrus Sylvestus, has passed the winter
in good shape and is looking well.
The. one objection offered to the

' .faising of this crop is that it takes such a

jong time for the seed to germinate that
the ground becomes full of weeds. ‘Vhe
farm department is experimenting with
these seeds to see if the period of germi-
nation cannot be hastened.
periment the seeds were kept in boiling
_ Water for five minutes. Only ten per
cent of the seeds grew; yet there were
vmany seeds found, even after this treat-
ment, which were as hard as ever and
which the boiling water did not seem to
effect in the least. They are now trying
sulphuric acid asa solvent of the outer
_ cavering of the seed. The next Srecu-

Lum will contain the result of this experi-

ment.

Some interesting facts have been ob-
served on the farm.this spring in connec-
‘tion with tile draining. About one hun-
dred and fifty reds of three and four inch
tile were laid to drain an area of three or
four acres sore of which was covered

dry—a verification of the fact that tile
drains increase im efficiency with age.

We learn from the American Cultivator
that Prof. A.D. Hopkins of the West
Virginia Experiment Station, has discov-
ered the cause of potato scab, Itis due
to the work of.a small insect. ‘This in-

sect is from three te eight one-hnndredths

treatment, however, has been in use and

A. couple of days were spent
the last month of last fall term in digging
the machine out of a scrap pile at. the
city electric light station. ‘This’ spring
preparations were made to try the ma-

of this side of a man’s nature to be of the

takes a retrospective view of his life, or,
perchance, has a son of his own.

The same is true of the Botany Club.
A club of unusual interest and. one ‘that
imparts exceedingly practical information.
Yet few students attend it or know any-
thing of what they are missing, Whats
true of these is also true of the Mechani-
cal Club to whose meetings any one is
admitted. And the discussions are
usually very general and applicable to
every day life. Patriotism to your class
and the student body demand the. pres-
ence of every man at class meetings, b.
C, A. meetings, Students Organization
meetings, and last but not least, Y. M. C.

First; Few. have the capital needed to

engage successfully in agricultural pur- |

demand in the teacher’s ranks for the

the Agricultural College of Michigan a:

This being true, is it a thing unreason-.

in the science and art of teaching, to. be-

submitted to the State Board of Educa--
tion for its approval? We have already
in the course, psychology, moral philos-:

no great addition to this line of work, we
are sure that the State Board of Educa-

study, and place the Agricultural College.
on the list with other colleges of the
State who are now enjoying the pro«
visions of this wise bill. The faculty of-
the college would not be placed in an-
emabarrassing position by reason of the
graduation of men not competent. to

deem him qualified to teach or not (grad- |

tural course. Beginning with the class ef ’97, ridny
changes will. be made. Military law atid forti-

‘fications have been dropped from the course; asd,

instead, all seniors will be required to drill after this
year, The arrangement of some of these classes well
be much more philosophical than it has been. for sey-
eral years past; for example, students have heretofore. .
been taught stock feeding before chemistry ot animal

physiology, Toremédy this, beginning with tHe préesént

freshmen, elementary chemistry will be taken in thie
spring term, and - organic, ahalytic and: agriéulttiral
chemistry,. will come, respectively, a tefni earlier thati
at present. They will begin anatomy and physiclog¥ in |

the summer term of the sophomore year and continue

in the spring term ofthe junior year. This arrangement
will givethe students one and one-half terms ofanatomy
and three terms of chemistry before they begin stock -
feeding. Inthe summer term of the JjJanior year is
added a half term of horticulture, and with it the half.
term of landscape gardening, which has come earlier
heretofore. The sophomores, jt the fall term, will havé
systematic botany. During the summer term of thé
soptiomore year they wifl devote’ three days a week to
the study of treés and: shrubs, as a preparation for
landscape gardening, In the suminer term of thie

junior year four weeks will be givén to the study of
ordinary farm crops, four Weeks lo weeds and seeds,
and four weeks to grasses and cloyers. Next term the’
present saphomores: will study weeds and seeds, and
grasses and clovers, each a half term.. _ Agticulture
will be required in the first term of the senior year,

and beginning with the class of ‘gs, all students will be

required to write a thesis upon some special topic,

This will make the agriculture required in thé cotirse
five and one-half terms, aside fram the afternoon
work. The course, as arranged, wili require of the
agricultural students ninetéert or twenly exeicises per
week, The course of study adopted by those in author-

ATHLETICS.

Everything in the athletic world with M, A. C. is
coming onswimmingly. All who willtrain regularly
for any event at field day are excused from mititary —
drill. This action ofthe faculty has given an impetus
to the work that has never before been noticed in the
memory of the present students. The entries pramise
ta be nearly full in all events, and-the all-around
medal will be hotly contested for.

Much isterest centers this year on the relay race,
which has been forfeited two years ta M. A. CL -It is
not likely that the action will be repeated. Ifthe eup -
if to remain in our library next year it must be kept.
there by hard work. We tave the speed and: endur-.
ance ta win the race, and it-remains only for the team
to get ta work. | od:

Base ball promises to be the strongest feature, as
usual, of field day. Albion is doing-good work, and
made a strong showing at times in the game on the
home grounds April 28,, However we do not regard

the team as the chief antagonist in the deciding. game.

Olivet made an able appearance and did remarkable
work for their first matched game of the season,
played bere April go. Our home team is far superior
tothat of one year ago. Ansorge improves with each
year. West promises to hold things level .in-the box;
the fielding is beyond reproach, and the double plays,
Davis, Ansorge, Rittinger, cannot fail to win the re-
spect of all opposing teams. Our batting averages
promise to rise several per cent this season over pre-
vious records, In fact, if present prospects are not
deluding, success will be ours when suecess is not
looked on as being a “‘ last year's bird's nest.”

Three matched games have been played this season,
one at Albion, and two on the home grounds. On
April 14th the team made a record: ior activity that is
characteristic of our students. Albion was reached at
noon, and the train was boarded again at 3:30 P.M.
The interyening time was devoted to dinner, two
changes of raiment, twe trips aver way to the quite
distant field, and to seven innings of ball recorded

The college man wha has‘no public spirit while. in

One thing which leads some students to be careless
about their wotk is the fact that they do not realize
their position, The world has a tight to expect more.
of a college graduate than of a man who bas not had
such adyantages.. The college-bred man must: ever
show that he is such, not by an overbearlog. manner
and a constant parading of that fact, but-by-a. moder:
