LIE AnRlcul1uRAl COURSE.
Formal Opening of the Years Work OF
Tuesday.


Tuesday.
The formal opening of tho years work
in the agricultural course took place at tho
Experiment Station building Tuesday
morning at 1880 o clock. The large room
on the ground floor recently fitted up for a
lecture room was used for the occasion.
There were present of the faculty
the President, Prof. Cooke, pro-
fessor of agriculture and director of the
experiment station, and Lewis Il. Jones,
Ph. b. instructor in natural history, ID. w.
Colby, h. s., in agriculture, j. l.. Hills, Il.
s., in agricultural chemistry, f. H. Miller,
Y. s., in diseases of animals and a. b.
Cordley, in physics and drawing. Charles
w. Minott b. =. instructor in horticulture
is temporarily absent. There were present
students of the first and second year Of the
course making with those who will be
present ms soon as they can be released from
teamwork upwards OF 90 members.
The president welcomed the students In
an address of which the following is a brief
abstract:
wish TO congratulate you, and myself,
and all interested, in what seems to rue to
be the assured success of our two years
course in agriculture. / hope it will some
time grow into three aud even four years
course. W nave Tor many years offered Il
four years course, and rs good one, |
think as is offered 10y any department Of
agriculture. But it seems to be tue fact
that when Vermont boys make up their
minds TO spend four years in college, they
want an outlook into something more profit
able than farming now is. II we could reg
uiate matters to suit ourselves, we would
have fair proportion Of the bright, ambi-
tious boys, after being well educated, stay
on the farm, and help 20 make farming a
profession and dignned calling. Your
/ being here implies that you believe that
| farming has a future, aud that intelligence
and science Will help you to success in it,.
/ The success Of this course, rs regards the
number attending it, will depend largely,
| young gentlemen, on you. Each of the "a
Students should make known in his locality
/ the opportunities the course presents, and
urge others to attend.
/ The president closed 10y cordially welcom-
! ing all students in the agricultural course to
| all the privileges of the university, and all
/ the advantages aud pleasures OF college life.

A nurllng.on Celebrity Abroad.

The Manchester Eng Examiner of re
cent date gives this account Of an enter
tainment given in that city by n Burling-
tonan, Mir. Jerome Hopkins: Last even
ing an entertainment, described as an
american piano lecture, concert and
school opera. was given at the Manches-
ter Atheneum by Mr.. Jerome Hopkins
The lecturer asked the question: Are the
Anglo -SaXOus Unmusical by necessity or
neglect - ana gave a number of fucts in
support OF his contention that in England
and America music was neglected. This
was due 90 the lack of musical training in
schools, for children must not be given the
prose Of notation reading, but the
poetry of school opera, which would
interest them. \ number of Manchester
school children gave selections from
Mr.. Hopkins school opera, "Tohee
and Old Munich" as domonstra-
ton of the advantages of the lecturer
suggestion The lecture was interspersed
with pianoforte selections from the works
of various composers.

means for educating the people by national
aid wherever ignorance prevails. specific
measure has been pending since 1881, and is
still pending, to which we are pledged over
and over again. Its work precedes that OF
a national election law. so that the suffrage
which we guarantee, if need be by sword,
shall be competent ~ bless and not
likely to ruin society. Do you now pro-
pose to enact the one yet reject
the other? You cannot enact ma
tional election law and defeat the Educa-
ton Bill. A trifie of money yearly eX-
pended in the States, experimenting and
encouraging their home efforts, would have
removed the ignorance OF the voter and
have rendered the election law, which is
new feature in our national existence,
wholly unnecessary. Intelligence can ana
will protect itself, nor from Intelligence is
there any danger, ana if the ignorant voter,
white and colored, we're enlightened, he
would himself become a source Of safety,
and all pretense for the suppression of his
power at the polls would disappear.
We may enact both mea sures; we may
enact a law for education. aud thus redeem
the ancient pledge of the party and avoid
the necessity of an election law. Ii we pass
the Election Bill without providing the
means of education 1t will prove to be a ca
lamity to tue South and nuisance at this
North.
We ought to have passed the Education
Bill before now, and our minister says that
God will make us trouble about it. But

some are. | wish | was. | am satisfied
