Show SMSMSj M ! THE GREAT U. A. C. M Itei'uiii events lme been er.t foitunutc tor H , I Ihu I'. A. ('. Developments dmlng the past feu H years havo been greatly lu itu fuor. Tho recent J Farmers' ltouudup and Housekeepers Conference, hrlugiiig to the bchool representative men ami wo- I men from Canada to Mexico, havo been very for- 1 lunate occur. ences for tho great school. These i oigunlzntlons have mado friends for the Institution H I by the score. Developments lu oducatton along the H Industrial route huvo been in its favor and through H out it all the men at the helm havo been equal H to the occasion. Dr. WldUou the president, ami H Dr. E. (!. Peterson, tho capable moving spirit of tho Hounduii hnvo mado the most of conditions iib B , the presented theuiHelvus. They hnvo mado tho school popular, made It tho school of the pcoplo, - the school ot tho farm uud llrcsldo. B Ever mindful ot tho stiugglcB o( the past, 1 through great tribulation tho present ndmliilstra- B Hon has cared for It until its roots havo gone B deeply In the ground ot public esteem and scntl- H ment from one end of tho state to tho other. ThoBo who wero onco lis oncmles aro now Its H friends. They who onco were ready to tako It away H are now ready to right for It, uud throughout It nil B has grown a popular vindication for tho legislature B that refused to submit tho question of consolldn- tlon to tho pcoplo. Throughout It nil has grown P tho feeling that It would have been a mlBtnko to 1 unite It with tho university, nnd now it stunds out H us tho great school ot tho people supported by nil R r from St. George to Logan. B Hut it has a futuro and In that futuro It has B it mission to perform, and If It succeeds In tho fu- PHB turo It must be supported, nnd must not bo hnndl- ' rapped. It must have funds. These will como as piH the Governor nnd tho legislature aro mindful ot B Its needs. Nothing by way of encroachment on Its B field, Or appropriations for othor schools along tho B lines clYen ly the Agricultural College should bo B ' t ,.j, permitted . We .are In for tho other schools of tho bibibibibibK'3 BH ' BBBbI state In their fields, and wo would not favor tho submission to tho pcoplo of any proposition to tako nwny that which the founders of tho commonwealth common-wealth decreed them. Hut Wo wnnt the others? to stnnd pnt also Wo do not approve of the appropriation appro-priation of the people's money for nn agricultural building anywhere In this great state of ours' except ex-cept at tho Agricultural College. If the tlmo hag como when tho stato normal school must havo agriculture, nnd parallel tho work of tho, Agrfcuf-""' tural College, It would seem tho part of wisdqm' to bring tho normal school to the Agricultural Col-, lege. At present 81 per cent of all the state's revenues rev-enues go for education and It would seem the part of economy for tho legislature to keep In mind the fnct that tho state cannot afford two Agricultural schools, and now that wo have one that la not only tho prldo of Utah, but tho west, It Is Important Impor-tant that tho legislature and friends of the school see to It that It Is not handicapped. Tho Cache county delegation and tho Commercial club committee commit-tee are the watchmen on tho tower. They now have the chance to mnko a record. |
