Tho spontaneous action ,tho absolute alacrity shown In passing tho necessary legislation, only reflected tho genernl feeling that Is coming to ircvall throughout tho Btato for our college. Many people regard tho Collego as tho foremost educational Institution in tho stnto, 'not excepting tho university univers-ity .Naturally tho centuries ot training train-ing that pcoplo throughout the agoi havo received which makes thorn regard re-gard lOducntlon In tho arts as para-moUiiU"lntuiuls para-moUiiU"lntuiuls tho mind toward the university as tho school heading tho stao educational system; but of late thoiigroat turn from education of tho arts'to education along prnctlcal and Industrial lines hns turned tho popular-mind toward such work as tho Collugo docs. Then again, the lands of'Utnh, despltu tho many yeurs Irrigation Irri-gation has been drawing riches from them, nro luactlcally untouched and really v,a"ro Just being reclaimed. In this reclamation the Agricultural College Col-lege Is doing romnrkablo work, pointing point-ing out hero nnd thero tho very et-' forts needed to mako the soil yield to Its' richest value. Tho school Is making mak-ing the fund yield up Its untold wealth helping to build homes on doscrt lands, making two blades of grass grow whore only.ojie did .before, pointing point-ing tho trnll toward successful carry-Ing carry-Ing on of till tho' allied branches of fnrnilng' life. We nro too closo to tho collego to realize how Influential Is tho force which goes forth from that school. Her students carry away tho marks of Improvement nnd progress. Her instructors in-structors lndicnto tho advantages ot tho, school in u thousand plnces throughout the country; and every-whjfro every-whjfro they go, they comport thorn-solves thorn-solves with dignity and attract at-tentjou at-tentjou that Is worthy of tho groatesi Bclfbl of tho land., l'eoplo vlow tholr work with keen Interost, nnd look nt th Darnell who aro doing 'these things with n great deal of admiration and pride. Small wonder, therefoie, that we! . often fail to appreciate tho wide In- fluetice of tills school throughout the state. Tho people hero full to come i In contact with tho college as much so us tho collego lUolf desires. Wo little know that some of thu wulght eHtj problems before ,tho western country today us to soil conditions or Insect life, of a harmful nature, or hoi m, sheep, cuttle and poultry prob leiiis. aro being worked out and sol-vo((fnt. sol-vo((fnt.

No man knows tho roiil good that will result from the woak ot thu Agricultural Collego. Its problems aro thoso of a pioneer country coun-try that Is destined to rear a people moro vlrllo and nsoful than exists in tho world today. Without soaring awny Into fanciful realms, wo know not tho shores that will bo washed by tho educational waters that flow from this splendid Institution. Thoy nro wators ot power which wo shall over regard as destined to turn eventually tho wheols of n now and better social body. Wo nro pioud of our school, but we really know tow things concerning her and especially do wo fail too fro-quontly fro-quontly to got a proper perspective of her field of Mark. |
