Thirty seven seniors and juniors in the school of forestry are working for the forest and soil conservation services and 40 fr Ihmen are in CCC camps getting get-ting valuable, training, so, I'm told by Professor T. G. Taylor, head of the department. I was talking recently m Madison, Madi-son, Wisconsin, with Director Nowell, a Utah man, who has charge of the land-use planning program for the Lake States, including in-cluding Wisconsin, Michigan, and Minnesota. He told me that he could use 65 or 75 trained men in his field, but he did not Enow where to look for them. While in Chicago I taikea with another Utah man who has had charge of emergency reli I in the district including and surrounding Illinois. He lamented the fact that I so few men and women trained in social welfare work are avail- recenuy spent a year in liermany studying language history. And now, I'm going to refer to a phase of odueation that has given all of us many a worry. It deals with the question What shall I do when I get my training? Is there a place in the world for me? Right here I should like to read a statement from D an E. J. Maynard, cf the school of agriculture: agri-culture: "In this new order of things we are definitely started on a nationwide nation-wide program of controlled agriculture. agri-culture. Federal and state ag n-cies n-cies are forced with the task of creating a balance that will Insure the proper conservation and fullest full-est utilization of this nation's na-1 tural resources. The program chal-1 chal-1 mges the best endeavor of any , : able in the Unit a States. "We have to bring in prospective prospec-tive workers and train, them In short courses", he said. The whole Federal administration administra-tion now is crying for men and women trained in the various fi Ids in which those who design our policies are centering their efforts. Many of these programs are continuing that is, they are destined to go on and become part of our permanent program for governmental assistance to the citizens of this nation. Just a week ago Director P. V. Cardon, formerly of the Utah State Experiment Station, but now director di-rector of the forage crops division of the United States Department of Agriculture, said that he was looking for about 75 well-trained men to put to work in his division as his work demands. In July I visited the ranch of Ferrington Carpenter, director of the Taylcr Grazing administration. He told me of his plan to recommend recom-mend to the western coll ges of the United States that a chair j of grazery be installed In each Civil Service Examinations The United States Civil Service Commission has announced " open competitive examinations as fol- i army of high minded, well trained train-ed and clear thinking young people." Dean Maynard recently went to the northwest to attend a conference confer-ence of agricultural leaders. On his return he stopped at Pullman, Washington, to visit some of his friends at the Washington State I College. While there he learned that 16 graduates of the Utah Junior engineer, various optional, option-al, $2,000 a year. Associate electrochemist, $3,200 a year, Bureau of Chemistry and Soils, Department of Agriculture Director, Child Welfare Division $6500 a yjar, Children's ' Bureau, Department of Labor, v. All states except South Dakota, Utah, Iowa, Vermont, Virginia and Maryland, and the District of Columbia, Col-umbia, have received less than their quota of appointments m the apportioned departmental s Irvice at Washington, D. C. Full information may be obtained obtain-ed from Albert O. Anderson, Secretary Sec-retary of the p.. S. Civil Service Board of Examiners at the post office In this city. is a new term coined by Director J Carpenter but it expresses his I idea that men are needed who are trained in range management, and problems of the grazing areas. This need is capably m.t by your State College in courses offered in this and other fields. - A few months ago J. N. Darling, Darl-ing, chief of the bureau of Biological Bio-logical Survey, during a visit to the College indicated that there was a strong demand for men trained in game and wild life management. Your College of 'Agriculture 'Ag-riculture was one of the first in the United States to include a course in wild-life and game management. man-agement. Of course I have just mentioned' a few fields in which there are i immediat) openings. There are numerous other fields calling for leadership, and this call is being be-ing answered by our present; curriculum. j j I always like the philosophy of the psychologist James who advis-e3 advis-e3 the youth of the nation to pr:pare and some day the world would wake up to demand such a person. Many citations could be made of Aggie graduates going into important positions in many phases of industry, education, government gov-ernment service and what not. Now, I should like to tell you something about the new Horn a Economics and Commons building, the latest addition to the---State College campus. I went through the building the other day e to see! how the builders went getting I along with their work. I was I happily surprised when I passed from room to room to see the simple beauty that . has been incorporated in-corporated in the new building. It is truly a fitting home for Hom Economics and student affairs. Its loveliness is an inspiration and j its management is conducive to pleasant work and enjoyable associations. asso-ciations. I'm. sure that girls who work in the department of Home Economics under the inspirational guidance of Dean Christine, B. Clayton will acquire an invaluable training. And now a word about athletics Coach Dick Romney says he's going go-ing ; to have some mighty fine boys back this year and the this institution one of the leading educational centers in the west; that th-; whole plan of the College Col-lege is based on human needs and the training of men and women to fit into positions of responsibility responsi-bility and trust wherever they are needed. That your colleg is living liv-ing up to its primary purpose is evidenced on every hand by her students and alumni who are now numbered in the thousands, and who are fitting admirably into in-to the numrous fields cf our complex civilization. - But there is one thing that stands above all the scholastic achievement, physical equipment and collegiate training, in the eyes of Presid nt Peterson and the Board of Trustees. It is the main tenance of the high moral stj ard which is a part of the! dition of your State College. il a quotation from President p4 son on this Important' subject,) bring this chat to a close: J "We want the parents ofaf to rest assured that when'i send their sons and daughter the Utah State Agricultural ! lege that they are in clean wholesome environm mt whici demanded by the state, the cits Logan and the college offiq We believe in virtues, standards. This college is d'4 ted to the maintenance of m and personal integrity. We i these things more precious ti any Intellectual achievement : students mierht attain". "raw material" looks promising. On September 10 the annual foot-ball foot-ball training school opens at the Coll pe. Dick expects about 60 stalwarts to answer his first whistle. whis-tle. Needless to say, we're all waiting for the football season to open. With the enlarged intra-mural program Professor Joseph R. Jensen Jen-sen says that ev ry student should be able to take part in a favorite sport during the school year. Both Coach Romney and Professor Jensen Jen-sen report that there has been a heavy d mand for Aggie athletes and physical education majors and minors. I have tried to point out a few things about the Utah State Agricultural College that make that 16 graduates of the Utah State Agricultural College weri employed there by the Federal Soil Conservation Service. That represents re-presents only one office in this new conservation program and there are others. A lull course in soil conservation work is being offered this year at : the State i colleg:. This is another example of how the College rises to the occasion and meets the demand for trained leadership. , Those of your who are ' particularly particu-larly interested in for-stry will be happy to know that the Utah State now has the second to the largest school of forestry in the United States.
