almost positively, as though it had been
formally determined by the directory, that
the lake-front will be entirely abandoned

THE entire agricultural press of the
country is mourning over the small
gain the farmers are getting from the
Immigrant colleges. The attendance
upon the most of them is very small,
and the amount of good they do is
practically inappreciable. Professor
Porter, as our readers have seen, takes
them severely to task for their costli-
ness and their il-adaptation to the ac-
tual wants of the classes for which they
were apparently designed. We say
apparently" because we have always
before us the declaration of the senator
who has the credit of having designed
them and defined their purpose, that
they are exactly what he meant them
to be-which seems to be mostly soft
places for a few hundred profes sors.
1t would naturally be supposed that, if
after twenty-five years of experiment
ing in this direction no better results
could be shown, their managers would
be enquiring among the industrial
classes what sort of schools they would
like to have. But so long as the sala
ries are regularly paid, the fact that
they have little to do, and that little of
still less account to the people, does
not seem to cause much anxiety. If
these gentlemen are stirred up at all, it
seems merely when they raise their
languid heads a moment TO denounce
the editors who voice the sentiments of
those who would like to see these USE
less millions of endowment made more
widely useful.
