THE COLLEGE OF NEW MEXICO
Independent Democrat.

ependentDemocrat.
The sixth annual report OF the
New Mexico Agricultural College
shows that the institution is stead
lily progressing IN importance and
is an educational boon to the peo-
pie of New Mexico. The number
iof students whose aim it is to fit
themselves for scientific farming,
is comparatively small, and the
practical benefit of the institution
to the Agricultural interests Is to
be found in the work of the Ex-
pertinent Station Most of the
students are attracted by the op
portunity to obtain a good gen
eral education and to learn some
of The mechanic arts, and conse-
quently the forge and carpenters
bench overshadow the plow in I'M
portance and interest. President
McCrea, recognizing the drift,
has adapted the facilities of the
College to the demal.d, and has
persuaded the Regents tc provide
shops and machinery on larger
scale for the use of the students.
The trades learned in shop practice
not only fit the boys to earn good
livelihoods away from the farm,
but give them training that is of
great value IN these days to the
farmer who needs to know how to
repair machinery.
In every respect the College is
going ahead, and its advancement
is due largely to the energy and
intelligently directed zeal of the
president and TO the support
given to him by the Board of Re
gents. The fact that the enroll
ment of students has doubled dur
ing President McCrea's admins
tration sufficiently answers thu
captlous partisan criticism Il
which he was subjected last year
