The Agricultural College.

In the message Of Governor Lippitt to
the General Assem- bly,, il is stated that a
request will proba DIV be made this year
fer an appropriation to erect new build
ing at the State Agricultural college at
Kingston. When such a re quest Is pre-
sented, it will be i'm order for the Assem-.
tly to consider very carefully just what
action it is rest to take. This institution
is receiving from the United States gov
ernment liberal financial assistance. but
this IL so tied up that the stats is largely
involved by the requirements attached 10

has spent q largo amount of money hers,
and there is no donbt that il could con-
iinue 10 spend as ii iberally IL the legis-
l,tors we're so Inclined.
1t is no criticism of the school 10 ssy
that the General Assent bly, shoold he care
ful as to how IL responds to these calls
tor more buildiaes. A manufacturer
does not increase lis plant unless the
demands of his business are so imperative
as to make an enlargement absolutely
necessary; the desire TO have a. big and
aole contsmpor ries is not what governs
him in his action. So here; it is no Just
cause for increasing the money locked up
in this plant that other states have O
more efficient school, or that the funds Of
the national govern ment depend upon
increased investment by the State.
The one question for the General Assem-
bly to decide is whether the school is de-
veloping a demand for the opportunities
which it affords to warrsnt the State In
increasing its permanent investment in
school property. II such q demand 10 be-
ing developed, then the plant should be
increased accordingly; but IL 1t IL not,
then there Is no reason why the State
should further increase its indebtedness
