Show The Logan Republican says, "Various "Vari-ous professors have tcstllled time and again that recognl.ing many boys un-llness un-llness for their own department, they have sent them to the department of Agriculture." And there jou have tho cause of all the trouble at the Agricultural Ag-ricultural College, cltl.cns of Utah. And so those boys until for other subjects sub-jects are sent to the Agricultural department de-partment and this In an Agricultural College! Uescret Farmer. The dllllculty with the average male Is that he would rather become a poor preacher than a lirst-class tailor, a poor doctor than a lirst-class blacksmith, black-smith, a plug In commercial life rathei than a successful fanner The agricultural agri-cultural course even In an agrlcult jral school is seldom attractive to a great percentage of students. Add to that department a repelling personality rather than an attiacthe force, .uid students not eiy strongly Inclined toward agriculture will take some other couise. All courses aie elective and no professor has the right to deny any student the course he asks for. It Is within his piolnce, however, and Itceitalnly Is his duty to counsel with an applicant as to what course it would be best for him to puisne. Recognizing Rec-ognizing a. student's unlltness for the couise which he says he wants, and his lltness for. some other couise, he is advised totakesome other. Though the head of the agricultural department depart-ment has been a rcpcllant rather than attractive foice, the agricultural de partment, by this method, has been made to Increase in students taking the course no less than lUOO.pcr cent In live years. The Descret Farmer's article would indicate thai the editor labors under the impression that the Agricultural Agri-cultural depaitment is tilled only with dundcr heads sent there because other professors regarded the boys as unlit for anything. Since the editor of the Dcseret Farmer Isat the head ol the agiicultural department this argument ar-gument of his is certainly a miserable icllectioii on his students, Whenever the public wants to get at the cause of all the trouble at the Agricultural College, they do not want to accept loo icadily the unproved assertions asser-tions of the editor of the Dcseret Farmer, head of the agrlcultuial department de-partment at the A. C, the man whom the student body of that Institution rates very low. |
