University of Michigan Letter.

ANN ARBoR, May 5, 1896.
Although no university in the Northwest
can come up with the University of Michi-
gan in athletics, the u. of M. does not have
to base her sole claim for laurels upon the
muscle of her foot ball players or the skill
of her base ball men, as is proved by the
numerous honors won In debating, oratory,
and works of research. Two more honors
were added to the list last week.
The sum of $3.50 was offered by Cali
fornia gentleman for the best essays on
"The Agricultural Depression and its Rem
edies" The competition was open to the
students of the universities of Michigan,
Wisconsin, and Minnesota, and last week
both the first and second prizes were award
ed to Michigan students, the third going to
Wisconsin. The Michigan winners were
G. r. limerick and w. A. Coutts, both farm
ers' sons and brought up to work. Mr.. En-
erick has in addition been awarded valua-
BILE fellowship in Columbia college on the
strength of his paper, which is said to be a
really valuable one.
The event which stirred up the greatest
enthusiasm, however, was the outcome of
the Northern Oratorical League contest
which occurred in Chicago, Friday night.
Michigan holds first rank in oratory through
out the northwest, having won five out Of
the six contests already held and 1t was no
little interest that centered in Fred l.. In
graham, Michigan's orator for this year, es-
pecially as all felt that the contest would be
the hardest yet held. Wisconsin, more
over, was certain of success. Besides these
two. the universities of Chicago, Iowa, Ober.
lin and the Northwestern, were represented

political craze in this section. There is
universal feeling with all that we are to

Garland.

A meeting to organize a Fairfield town
ship Sunday school association was held
here on Sunday. A. ID. Wellington was
chosen as president and Mrs. Allen secreta-
ry pro tenn. After music by the choir, M.
I'll. Reynolds, of Owosso, conducted devo-
tional exercises.
The first topic "The effect of s. S. upon
community" by A. ID. Wellington, was
ably handled, showing the effect to be good
in any community.
Mr.. Reynolds gave short talk on the
topic, showing that where s. s. were organ
lied there was less crime, morality was
greatly increased and only good resulted.
show can s. s. work be brought to the
mated that If we failed to induce people to
come to s. s. we should carry the s. s. to
the home by using the different methods
now in use.
The afternoon meeting opened by short
praise service, scripture reading and prayer
by Rev. j. G. Scott.
The president appointed committee to
choose officers for the organization.
"The essential qualification Of s. =.
teacher" by Rev. j. G. Scott. The charac-
ter, the judgment, the energy and zeal and
prompt attendance were some of the points
made in this talk, and in discussing the sub
ject many good thoughts were brought out
that every s. s. teacher should profit by.
Mr.. Reynolds discussed the question of
preparation of the lesson" He said, begin
early, read often, pray for wisdom, pray for
class and for each individual in class, use

In discussing this question Mrs. M. II.
Reynolds told us how to prepare small
room to be more convenient and how she
would grade in small schools.
After hearing the report of the committee
the following officers were elected: Presi-
dent, George Pierce; vice president, Com
fort Loynes; secretary, Mrs. X. Allen; treas

The Burton Farmers Club.

The May meeting of the club which was
of Middlebury, was very pleasant meeting.
The sociability of these farmers gather
ings is one of their best features, though the
benefits derived from the exchange of thought
and methods of conducting business and
work in and out of the particular line of
farm life are beyond estimate.
The morning session was given mostly to
informal talks. K. b. Simpson was report
ed very sick, but was thought to be some
better. Expressions OF regret and sympa-
thy were heard from all, as Mr.. Simpson Is
a great favorlte and held in high esteem by
all who know him.
After most appetizing dinner and roll
call, Mrs. ]. w. Rose read bob Ingersoll
and Farmer JONES'" then came the question
-"Can farmer hold town and county Of
fee without detrlment to his farm?" Most
of the gentlemen who spoke upon this sub
ject had learned their lesson In the school
of experience, as they had for many years
borne the burdens of town or county office
in connection with their farm work and
could speak from actual knowledge.
+. M. Shepard stoutly maintained that a
man could not hold town or county Office
without detriment to his farm. President
Stanlake and G. r. Woodin .were united in
their arguments that 1t was difficult to at
tend to both; IL the town or county official
left his farm to attend to public duties some-
thing was neglected, something would go
wrong, but admitted with surprising frank
ness that while the absence OF the farmer
from his farm was bad for the farm 1t was
a good thing for his pocketbook, and the
little money the farmer earned In his official
capacity was so much ahead.
j. w. Hibbard believed that man can
hold one or the other of these offices and
discharge Its duties, providing the salary Is
sufficient to hire competent help to conduct
the business of the farm.
The question presented by the State AS
ISOLATION of Farmers Clubs, "Should the
State support higher education9 II so, to
what extent?" was discussed at length by f..
M. Shepard, l.. 8. Bowles, Mr.. Randall, j..
w. Hibbard, VIM. Merrill and others.

in the M. 4. church, of which he was
faithful and active member, and his seat in
the sanctuary was seldom found vacant.
Mr.. Simpson was one of our most respected
citizens and was loved by all who knew him.
He was a man of marked personality and

state to educate doctors and lawyers to prey
upon the people. He would have those
who desire professional education pay for
it themselves.
Mr.. Bowles said there should be limit to
taxation for educational purposes.
Mr.. Hibbard felt reluctant to express opin-
ions when there was possibility that some
one with pencil might make note of them
and pass them over to the newspaper man.
He, however, ventured to say that the sub.
ject meant much to us as farmers and tax
payers. If 1t were going to increase the
taxes he was opposed to it, and that 1t would
be better for those who wished higher ed
ucatOn IL they had to work for it.
Mr.. Randall would draw the line at the
State Normal school for education of teach
ers. Mr.. Merrill said the rising generation
is the hope of our country, but there is no
reason why the state should give young
man profession of the law or of medicine
than it should give him farm. If he wish
es professional education let him dig for it,
At the close of this discussion the resolu-
tion, 1--WE do not favor higher education
at the expense of the taxpayer" was pre-.
sented and passed by large majority. G.
r. WOodin was not prepared to vote in
favor of the resolution. Miss Guilford and
Mrs. G. r. Woodin were among the ladies
who did not adopt the sentiment expressed
therein.
The little Misses Lulu and Myrtle Wood
worth, nieces of the hostess, each recited an
amusing poem, and Chancey Woodin, Sec
Ond son of G. Il. Woodin, spoke Twenty

In the struggle. The contest was a hard
one, but Michigan's training told to the
usual good advantage and Ingraham and
Gettysburg" the subject of his grafton,
were ahead of all others. This is another
feather in Prof. Trueblood's cap, as he has
done much in that department to give the
university the standing it has in oratory.
1t would have done you good to have seen
the crowd that was waiting at the M. G.
station at ten o'clock Saturday night await
ing the return of Ingraham, Prof. True
blood and the rest of the party. The orator
was not allowed to step from the car upon
the platform, but was picked up and carried
to hack from which the horses had been
taken, and when Prof. Trueblood had been
escorted to the hack, the students drew il
with continuous uproar of tin horns and
college yells, through the principal streets
up to the campus and right into University
hall. A II then assembled in the chapel
where they listened to congratulatory ad-
dresses from professors and students until
half-past twelve, when they adjourned with
final whoop that must have startled the
big Columbian organ up stairs.

In base ball, Michigan easily defeated
Oberlin, Saturday, with score of Is to 1.

the lead. Bloomington furnished the most
brilliant batting of the game.
The money is slowly but surely coming
in for the Women's gymnasium and nearly
enough has now been secured. Work on
the building is being pushed along rapidly
and it will no doubt be ready for use next
fall. The building which will nearly double
the size OF the Waterman gymnasium (form-
ing part of it and known as the "women's
annex') will greatly improve the appearance
of the campus and will give the co-eds
proper chance for physical training and de-
velopment. DR.. Mosher, graduate of the
