THE state has provided admirable
educational institutions for its
young people, and it behooves each
succeeding legislature to see that
those institutions are properly
maintained. In the days of their
building up the schools and colleges
must be dealt with most literally
that the work mapped out for them
shall not be handicapped. The
agricultural college and school of
science is treated literally by the
national government, but this in no
wise releases the state from any
part Of its proper maintenance; in
fact, it rather increases the states
duty to the institution, for the
national funds are applicable only
in certain lines, and 1t is demanded
of the state that it meet the re
qulrements put upon it fully.
