MANUAL LABOR.
The law requires that every stu
dent Of the AGRICULTURAL CoLLEGE
shall labor two hours day in the
winter and three hours in the summer.

wisdom Of this law. In an industrial
institution, manual labor is one ofthe
means OF Improvement, and rs such
is indispensable to complete success.
The application Of the sciences to
farm management and household
economy, can be learned in no other
way. Moderate labor moreover is
needful for the health and physical
development of the student, and helps
rather than binders his progress in
study.

or the farm aud garden under the
immediate direction OF the supcrin.
tendent and the Professors of.Acri.
culture and Horticulture. The young
ladies and girls viii practice the
various duties Of housekeeping under
Inc instruction o: a competent Mat
ron.
The compensation for labor will be
from three to ten cents an hour,
according to its yalne.
