TO demand better teachers aul those u
broader and more liberal education

have imany incentives TO 20 on and
10 prepare themselves fUr better and
more thorough work. President
Elliot, Of Harvard University, takes
the position that Ia states and
territories In this wtsteTn region
tho state university should embrace
the agricultural college, the school OF
