/ the calendar A lew DIS were ordered
| engrossed but none passed.
Holtse-Mr. Darbellay made a minot-
ity report against the passage of No.
81, A., bill ia establish an agricul-
| tural college. The report is as follows:
/ beg leave 10 dissent from this report of the ma.
johty OF the committee, and nay reasons for dis
/ senting are based az follows:
LIST. That such colleges have proven failure ia
! nearly every state where tried
/ I'd We now have well endowed agricultural
college where the farmers son can be educated
! in general knowledge while pursuing his agricul-
| tural studies
| 90 II general education and commingling with
other students be not good for the farmers sons,
I separate the agricultural college farm from the
university, sell the experimental farm, and from
these funds can separate agricultural college be
| endowed without imposing additional burdens
! upon the tax payers of this state But doubt
I very much Of he ACCESSIBILITY Of separate agri-
cultural college because the farmers OF this state
| do not want this species of narrow possibilities
for their children but prefer that they have liberal
| education, TOR advancement in the scientific and
professional world will be equal to others, and
the fact IS very well established, and can be sub
stQntated, that fully seventy per cent of the
students which attend the university emaT lie
| from the farm
The legislature has provided for agricultural
institutes which viii undoubtedly prove valuable
educators to the practical farmer in each county,
and this method should be given at least two
years trial before pronomCngit failure.
! The arguments made by the advocates OF this
measure that paying students for labor perform
| ed while pursuing their studies would induce a
greater number to attend, are equally applicable
to the present agricultural college and expert
mental farm All of which is respectfully sub
mitied. J. D, DAEBELLAY.
