Show I THE OPPORTUNITY. On another page of this issue is found the advertisement of Utah's great industrial schooi the State Agricultural Ag-ricultural College. This calls our attention at-tention to the great opportunities before be-fore the young men who qualify them selves for life's battle in that institu tion. Recently our attention was called to the great number of western young men who arc now occupying positions of responsibility and trust in the various bureaus of the United States Department of Agriculture, and by the way, our own institution is particularly well represented there. We are also told that the Department of Agriculture is unable to taKe up all of the problems for study that they , would' like to simply because they" have, .'not" how and arc unable to se cure the men with the necessary training. This paper has emphasized, a number num-ber of times, the great demand for nIGii ''trained in scientific agfieWurc. In the work of the Agricultural Col lege, the Experiment Station, the Agricultural Ag-ricultural High Schools, the Depart-mcnt:of Depart-mcnt:of Agriculture and in the management man-agement of fanning enterprises, there arc. unlimited opportunities for the young man who has the right kindjaf grit and who is properly trained. We want to say to the young men of Utah that an agricultural education at-our at-our Agricultural College will qualify tfacin for good openings at icasonablc compensation. It must not be thought, however, that the- work of the College is only to prepare experts. The greater duty lies in the proper preparation of the young men who arc to be the farm owners and soil tillers of the future. To learn enough of nature's mysteries to give them the mastery should be the ambition of every young man who expects to till the soil, and in this work .the College is performing its greatest mission. The farm boys of Utah will make no mistake in deciding decid-ing next September to go to our Ag ' ricultural College and obtain an cdu-( cdu-( cation that will make life moic pleasant pleas-ant and profitable for them. |
