nearly all departments, including
chemistry, mathematics, and practi-
cal science in all its various phases
And education in agriculture and the
mechic arts, fairly construed, means
mental as well as manual education
IN the class room as well as by expert
mental investigation In fact, a
knowledge of chemistry. natural
philosophy, mechanics, physics, sur
yeylng, botany, zoology, geology,
physiology, meneralogy and the use
of language, is quite as necessary TO
the practical farmer as to the practi.
cal lawyer, clergyman. doctor or pro-
fessional politician. These can be
only successfully and economically
taught in a university where the ad-
vantages of libraries, cabinets, ed
ucatloual associations, and 3 full
corps of experienced and accomplish
ed professors are all the time acceS-
sible without extra cost. To separate
the agricultural student from all those
valuable accessions to his proper edu.
cation, under any circumstances, inn
plies the unjust and illogical conclu-
sion that the agricultural student can
be satisfied with more limited advan-
tages than those extended to other
classes, of far less value to society !;
and tae only effect of such separation
and isolation evidently would be to
deny to the agricultural student the
range of advantages for education
now offered him in common with
all other classes of our population.
