make possible the higher halier industrial training ing n of those whose preparation must necessarily he be limited to such instruction as tile the public bublic schools afford it was the intention so to connect these colleges with tile the schools that a fairly large large percentage t of thoe who pass pasa through the successive grades of the public schools shall be enabled to continue their education iu these higher institutions in it wits was hoped that by this means the advantages 0 of industrial du technical clinical tc mechanical moch anical domestic and bu businski busin sineas training could be brought brou lit within the reach of the average student SAVES YEARS or OF TIME the intention of the legislative founders of the colleges lias has been admirably carried out in the conduct of our own nia magnificent institution the student is not required to spend several years years of study as a preparation for entrance upon his professional st B but begins as soon as lie he lias has fairly completed the district school studies tile the courses are through and by leaving leavina 6 out what is mcimely disciplinary and ornamental the advantages of a thorough technical training are brou brought 0 alit within the reach of every youth truly desirous of obtaining them ACTUAL professional WORK it should be understood moreover that there is nothing superficial in the be training provided by the Agui cultural college M ench eich department consists of tho the work of men and women ornen ii not that of children the drawing taught in the college for example is not the playful exercise of the pencil in making pictures but consists of the lie actual work of architects architect 3 surveyors and mechanical engineers the daily work in the machine in shop is equal to the best work of practical machinists machinis tg the work in the forge room ia the actual art of tile the smith the work in tile wood bebop is actual joinery turning cabinet and pattern mcking making the students mechanical drawings exhibited last summer at the territorial fair were the admiration of all mechanics and were 1 leighly commended by the best engineers engineer a of the terri orty EDUCATION EDl CATION AND profession PROFESS TON i not only so but each of the four I 1 college courses for men leads to a profession at the conclusion of his course the student has not only an education hut dut a calling also ile he is ready to bezin begin professional work lie ile is not merely good but good for something not na merely educated but educated for active life THE RIGHT KIND OF CHEAPNESS this attempt to bring the acquirement qui rement of tile the technical professions of the eng engineer zeer mechanic the agriculturist 0 the accountant and t alie lie scientific hou housekeeper house e keeper wi within ain the reach of the people generally has not been looked upon in nil 1 I 1 fasca cases with the approval that its intent in merits crits by those representatives and exponent of the established dished systems of higher education aad and from a lack or of information as to what agricultural courses really consist of the representatives have asserted that these colleges tend to cheapen higher 0 education by bringing 0 it within the reach of the masses now this is precisely what these colleges are arc for to make higher birdier industrial education cost less money and consume less time than had been found possible at the re leutar regular r universities VALUE OF MANUAL it is true that by the exercise of of the eye and tile the hand hadd in tile the I 1 shops in ill the physical chemical biological botanical and logical laboratories in the kitchen laundry sewing in the dissecting room room and and on the farm the student gains an amount of scientific and practical knowledge that would be impossible of attainment with the same time and effort by tile the old methods of book study practice guided by principle is educative in character chara ctr it is not merely clerise cx ex erise though it rests the mental menial part of man and furnishes healthful diversion dive ision for it has been shown that the student can accomplish more mentally with the manual mannal training added than lie ordinarily ordin arly can without the industrial exercises hero here the student learns tiling 0 not words lie learns to execute thus cultivating tho the will to jo do and tho the soul to date lie ile helps to educate his brain by means of his hands and lie learns much of science by the tha very let of doing learns it by a process which commands his a attention and teaches him science sciences science 1 through his finger tips tle s MONEY IN IT consider a single lecture to students in dairying 0 at the college it is shown that fodders such as
