Show SHOULD GO 100 I PER CENT STRONG 00 EVERY BOY AND GIRL OF COL-LEGE COL-LEGE AGE OUGHT TO ATTEND THE BRANCH AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. (Director J. Howard Maughan) David Starr Jordan said in urging young men and women to go to college col-lege that there was no danger of a person getting too much education. When asked how he could harmonize that statement with the fact that somo college students make failures, he replied that it was impossible to put a million dollar education on a fifty cent boy ho wouldn't take the polish: that these certain failures nro not a result of education, the individual in-dividual would have failed anyway and the education couldn't have hurt him. -- If a student hns completed high school he needs no converting as to tho value of a college education. To be sure the times are hard. It may be somewhat difficult to continue in school. But one is reminded of tho regard with which the possessor of an education holds his training. With but little cash outlay comparatively compara-tively coupled with effort a college education may be ,possessed. And when once attained the student, man or woman, would not part with this education for any price. Is it not really strange that comparitively so few people who havo the opportunity are t willing to reach out and grasp this pticel.ess1 possession?'" - ' Have you taken an inventory since the first of the year? Do you know just where your present course if continued will land you ten years from now? Whero would you like to land? In all probllity wo will, most of us, still be here upon this earth for that time. We must go on living during tho noxt ten years. If tonight your summons came to be ready to leave this earth ten years from this time, with tho further fur-ther instruction that your course thereafter would be determined entirely en-tirely by the knowledge you possessed possess-ed and tho service you had rendered to humanity what would you do? Confronted with such a reality you would probably find a means of do ing what you desired. By years what would you do for the next ten years? How much of this time would you devote to preparation? One must recall the example of the Master Mast-er Teacher, who having more fore-s'ght fore-s'ght than others of his fellows, knew that his time was allotted. Yet realizing that his time was short He nevertheless spent thirty years in preparation to labor but three. And yet preparing for one's life work is not the only source of remuneration re-muneration for attending college. The years spent there are happy years which rather come to have a halo around their memory. The friendships friend-ships found there are over enduring. It is an experience out of which one may come to find himself. These together to-gether with the fact of training for one's life work make a college edu-caion edu-caion a prize, which its possessor would not part with at any price. In choosing a college from which to take his degree a student should not be blinded. Remember the story of "Acres of Diamonds" perhaps at home is just the thing you are looking look-ing for.
