Prof. Hendricks has been teaching at tho Utah Agricultural college ,slnco 1909. At present. Prof. Hendricks Is a member of tho American Economic association, tho American Sociological society, and the National Association of Labor Legislation. Asldo from his oxtonslvo experience experi-ence In commercial and economic fields, Prof. Hendricks has had wlda agricultural training. He Is thus In a position to shapo the work of the school of commerco to the needs of the men and womon on tho farms. Sldo by sldo with tho training offered In purely commercial .'and economic subjects, work will bo offered In tho many problems of rural life, such as rural credits, marketing of farm products, pro-ducts, farm bookkeeping, and related subjects. In speaking of tho future ot commercial com-mercial work at tho collego, Prof Hendricks declared that great development devel-opment could be looked for In this flold In tho near future. "The school of commerce at tho Agricultural collego has great possibilities," possi-bilities," Bald Prof. Hondrlcks. "The shifting of tho omphasls in tho United States from tho field of production pro-duction to that of distribution and exchange has brought to tho front vital questions which heretoforo havo received scant attention. Not' only business men generally, but farmers as well havo had to give serious attention at-tention to questions ot marketing, advertising and banking. The national na-tional bureau of markets, organizations organiza-tions for tho promotion ot better advertising ad-vertising media, and rural credits, legislation havo resulted. Even In the field of production groater noed has been felt for tho reduction ot production costs that Increased charges against tho business In tho form ot higher taxes and greater regulation reg-ulation exponso may bo mot.

No matter what our natural Interests may be, tho exigencies of tho cauo aro compelling com-pelling our attontlou to theso matters. mat-ters. I believe that In tho future moro and moro attention will bo paid by tho farmers of tho state to tho business sldo ot farming and to thco broad questions 'of rural social llfo. National legislation Is alroady (Continued on Pago Eight) HEADS SCHOOL OF COMMERCE AT U. A. C. (Continued From Page Ono) contemplated which will appropriate considerable sums of money to tho establishment of business bureaus with their local demonstrators with duties analogous to thoso now performed per-formed by our country demonstrators In tho field of agriculture. Tho day Is not far distant when the schools of commerce in our agricultural colleges, col-leges, aided by federal and state appropriations, ap-propriations, will bo a potent factor in the intensely practical problems -of making constructive improvomonts in our rural institutions." |
