labor with literary seminaries in this way, and
all those Of which l have knowledge have
sooner or later failed. 1t is not too much TO
say, that except under very peculiar circum-
stances, they always will fail. Now is it not
preposterous to suppose that any Of our col
leges would ever consent to enforce on their
students so large portion of their labor as
this, day in and day out? 1t may be said,
that they could conveniently make a rule for
the agricultural scholars, from which the rest
would be exempt But any man, who has the
slightest knowledge of human nature, need
not be told how that would work. Besides,
the labor must be of the most varied charac-
ter, adapted necessarily to the calls of the
hour. 1t cannot all be done at once or at one
or two selected intervals. such as might best
suit the general routine of the college. The
farm will allow no such intermeddling with
its wants. But how could corps OF profess
ors in college adapt itself to such state of
things as that? Would either the system or
the farm yield? Most certainly the farm
could not; as little likely is it that the college
would.
Again, and most important, perhaps of all,
In an agricultural school, If it is intended to be
worth anything, it is evident that the relations
of the teachers TO the farm, TO all its doings
and practical pursuits, must be close and con-
stant. Ii is impossible for the farm to four
ish without separate teachers of its own, de-
voted wholly to its interests For these in
terests alone, their duties win be as many and
important as any man would wish to bear
In conclusion, let me say do not see how
any man can reflect well on the large scope
an agricultural institute of high grades must
necessarily have, without becoming sensible
that practical connection between such
school and any Of our colleges is neither desi-
rable nor possible. OSDERLoT.
