Show At a meeting of the board of Trustees Trus-tees of the Utah Agricultural College held this week it was decided to organize organ-ize two-year practical courses in Agriculture, Agri-culture, Mechanic Arts, Commerce, and home Economics, these courses to be for the benefit of the people of the State who do not wish to take the regular reg-ular college course nor the full high school work. It is the aim to make these courses of direct service to the working men and women, especially, of the State of Utah. At this in.ieting j it was reported that the college attend- I ance had reached 13fio, also that the j increase in advanced attendance was a notable feature of the last two years. Beginning with 1914 the College will gradually eliminate, one year at a time, the four year high school course which is included in the College curriculum. It was also decided to increase the number num-ber of hours of work necessary for the College degree, thus intensifying the courses of study . It was announced that the Smart Gymnasium would be completed before the close of the year and be in operation opera-tion during the summer school. The power plant at the mouth of the canyon will be ready for operation by next September. From this College and other State buildings will be supplied light and power. Among the resignations accepted were those of Professor II. C. Dale, of j the history department, Mrs. Hazel L. Dunford, of the Home Economics Department De-partment of the Extension Division, Captain L. W. Caffey who rejoins his regiment in China. Leaves of Absence were granted Prof. W. S. Drew, N. A.
