THE PROSPECTS VERY FINE.
A Great Interest Being Awakened in the
A. and NJ College.

A Great Interest Being Awakened in the
A. and M. College.
The prospects for the opening of the
A. and M. College this year, President
Holiday says, are finer than ever before
in its history. The correspondence and
applications for catalogues are double
what they have ever been before. Pro-
fessors are going into all parts of the
State awakening an interest in the col
lege by telling the people what it is
doing for the boys of North Carolina,
and the claims of the college upon the
patronage of the farmers of the State
are presented at every Farmers Insti-
tute now being held.
The actual number of students in at
tendance during the last term approx
imated 200. There is room for twice as
many and they ought to be in attend
ance. There were over 600 at the South
Carolina agricultural college, and it is
said the one here is superior to it.
The whole expenses of a county stu
dent for the term of nine and one-half
months are only 800, and of pay stu
dent $13O, this including tuition and
lodging.
All the students save three or four
room in the college buildings and all
get their meals in the mess hall. The
college provides the food, in very good
shape, too, and charges only So for it.
The students work ON the college farm,
being paid cents an hour therefor.
Each day about dozen are so employ
ed, so as to lose only day week from
their class work. Only one or two Ia
borers have to be hired.
The college has a fine plant. There
are now the main building, mess hall,
with dormitories above, four dormitories,
engine and electric light house, mechan-
cal department, horticultural building,
barn and dairy. A hospital is now being
built.
In the mechanical department there
are ON the ground floor four rooms. In
the one for the freshmen wood working
is taught and there are the work benches
| for thirty students. In the sophomore
room wood turning is taught. In the
room for the juniors are forges and the
senior room is a machine shop.
| 1t is fine school-cheap but thorough,
strict in discipline by thoroughly demo
cratic 1t ought to have 500 students.
