For many years the University OF YER
mont has offered a course in Agriculture
of the same length and general plan as
its other courses in art, literature, chem
Istry and civil engineering, that is, it is
a four years course, which il designed to
give instructions not only in agriculture,
but also in many other branches, so as
to furnish a general education. In prac-
tice, Prof. Cooke says, it has been found
that three causes have operated to pre-
vent students from taking this course.
1st. The large amount of previous study
and training required to pass the en-
trarce examinations. Cd. The length
of the course aud consequent heavy ex.
penses. 81. The introduction into the
course of some studies not directly re-
lated to farming.
To meet these three objections and 10
answer an apparently growing want in
the State. the University has decided to
begin next fall two-years course in
agriculture, which is 81 arranged as to
enable the studend to devote his whole
time to the study Of the principles and
processes of farming and to those
branches of &C ence most closely related
to agIi ulture. A schedule of the stud
les and a synopsis of the subj cts to be
treated under each, are gwen on the fol.
lowing pages:
Applicants for admission to the agri-
cultural course must be at least fifteen
years OF age, must bring satisfactory tes-
timonials of good character, and be pre-
pared to pass a satisfactory examination
in all branches of common school edu-
cation particularly in English Gu amman,
Geography and Arithmetic. Candidates
will be admitted without examination
in case they bring certificates from
former achers that they have satisfac-
torily completed the above studies.
Agricultural students who are resi-
dents of Vermont will not be required to
pay tuition /; no laboratory fee will be
charged and no charges made for use OF
chemicals and apparatus. The actual
cost Of apparatus broken will be charged
to the student to ensure carefulness in
it's handling. There is u Common Hall
on the University ground at which good
table board is furnished to students at
cost. There will be an opportunity for
several students to earn part Of their ex-
penses by work.
The agricultural students will have all
the privileges of the library, reading
room, museum, etc., the same as the
other students. They villa lso have the
advantage of the presence of the State
Agricultural Experiment Stltion, where
the newest theories are being tested and
the most approved methods used.

One Of the great developments Of the
Christian Endeavor work during the
past year has been in the formation OF
junior societies for the children on the
same plan as the regular societies, only
under the more immediate guidance OF
one of the older members, who is called
the Superintendent. These junior socie-
ties accustom the children to the duties
of church life, and make it easier for
them to take their place in the senior
societies when they become old enough
to attend the evening meeting. 1t is
pl obable that Mrs. g. r. Alden (Pansy)
says the Boston Journal, will have
charge OF this branch of the work dur
ing the coming year,
TIE Christian Endeavor days at the
various Chautauqua assemblies have
been very successful this year, bringing
together large numbers of young people
from the surrounding towns.
1t was noticed by many who journeyed
to Philadelphia to attend the late con-
vention that no smoking cars we're called
for on the longest trains. One train that
contained nearly thousand deleg ates,
hundreds Of them young men, had not q
single smoke, on board, "even in the bag.
gage car" fact which speaks well for
the attitude Of the young people on the
tobacco question.
