The Agricultural College.

The article in the Peoples Advocate
OF Aug. eta, written by "a Friend Of
Education" is but another index OF the
narrowmindedness OF a great majority
Of that side of the political house so
prevalent in this part OF the country.
He quotes President Bryan OF tie Ag-
rcultural College as saying that gradu-
ates of the college cannot afford to be-
come farmers, and then proceeds to pull
the president over the Goals With red hot
tongs because lac did not say that the
end, aim and sole object of the college Is
to turn out farmers to chase causes over
the Palouse hills.
Because the college has the name
Agricultural to it is no reason that
branch OF industry should be the only
one pursued in the institution. And
when he suggests that the curriculum he
investigated to the end that courses in
farming be pat in, he shows that he is
! utterly ignorant Of the courses offered in
/ the Agricultural College. He also sup-
gests that the public school teachers he
made instructors in agriculture. I'm
aglne, gentle reader, a public school
4 teacher teaching scientific or any other
kind of agriculture! With all due res
pect for the public school teachers (thev
are the best class OF people we have. as
a rule) they are not fitted to teach agri-
culture. Agriculture is no longer the
pursuit OF ignoramuses, if properly fol-
lowed, but Is science, and as such must
have men trained in that particular
science IN order to get the best results
from the farm. This traiuing is exactly
what the agricultural course of the Agri-
cultural College offers to each and every
boy and girl of the state OF Washington
desiring to be qualified in that particu
lar line. 1t also offers courses in prac-
teal mining, civil, electrical and me
chanlcal engineering, and in addition TO
most OF the regular university courses,
1t offers thorough courses in tvpewriting
ana stenography, and horticulture.

THE end of uncertainty regarding du-
ties on imports gives greater confidence
alike to those who have opposed AND
those who have favored the change. The
great strength in stocks, particularly in
those OF the Granger list, reflects assul-
ance OF heavy crops. The remarkable
rise in wheat, Notwithstanding that a.
surance, is based on heavy buying for
export and belief that foreign demands
will be large. To these must be added
another element of confidence scarcely
observed a week ago. The heavy in
crease in receipts of gold, whether from
one side OF the Alaska border or the
other, swells the deposits at the minis
and in the banks OF this country, and il
the yield from new regions answers cur.
rent expectations, may have an infu.
ence akin to that OF gold discoveries in
California. The one retarding force the

Resolutions by Educators

The Maine Pedagogical society, at its
annual meeting passed the following
resolutions, as an expression of the
opinion of the assembled educators in
regard to the changes needed in Maine s
educational system.
ReSolred, That we reaffirm our belief
in a State Board of Education, as ex.
pressed in our resolutions in favor in
preceding meetings.
Resolued, That we believe that one of
the most efficient agencies for the i'm
provement of the rural schools is dis
trict supervision, and we respectfully
ask the coming Legislature to take
action looking to that end.
Resolred, That the Maine Pedagogi-
cal Society assembled at Lewiston, Dec.
81, 1896, commends To the consideration
of the Legislature of 1897, the following
measures to be proposed by the State
superintendent of common schools: LIST,
that all teachers who teach in the State
after August, 1899, be required to hold a
certificate from State Board of Ex-
animation as condition for granting
State money to the town employing
them. I'd, that towns having less than
20 schools be encouraged to unite for the
purpose of employing an expert super
intendent who shall give his entire time
to the supervision of the schools in
the grouped towns. 3D., that training
schools for teachers be held during the
summer in vacation where at least -four
weeks teachers shall be trained both in
methods of teaching and in the subjects
they are called upon to teach.
