Show THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. The catalogue of the Agricultural College of Utah for this year and next covers one hundred and sceventy-five pages. It supplies an outline through which one can see what is taught in the Logan college, and can gain an idea of how the school is exactly adapted for a student who wants his brain clear and hands disciplined to begin a life work. It is a mixed scientific classical and practical school, or more properly speaking, where a scientific training is given practical application all along its course. It is the kind of school that is gaining in lavor very fast in these days. There is a similar school in Troy, New York, and a standing offer was made years ago, and we believe be-lieve is still open, by the Pennsylvania Railroad company, to supply at good wages a place for every graduate from the school. There is no one proficient in the analysis of soils and skilled in higher farming whose services are not in high demand, not only in this country but abroad. ' No class of men are more sought for than , skilled metallurgists and mining engineers. For both classes the field for their work extend-clear extend-clear around the world east and west, north and south. The rage for gold is the world's passion more today than ever before. The soils and the rocks supply a limitless field, and the young man who is able to turn either to practical account is wanted everywhere. The Agricultural college at Logan aims to fit young men for these callings. But it is not confined to them. There are classes in all the domestic arts, and music and literature are just as carefully taught. It is a school for young men and women alike and a diploma from it means that all the preliminary work has been performed to start the graduate in the straight path of a useful life. The school should be the solicitude of Utah parents and 'is one of the institutions in which every resident of Utah should feel an especial pride. |
