The Yale expositor. (Yale, St. Clair County, Mich.) 1894-current, 1900-01-26

topic was discussed by j. w. Avery, of
Jeddo. The speaker took the ground
that stock raising was not simply a
question of profit, but necessity to
successful farming. The farm itself is
impoverished with no stock kept there
on, therefore the capital of the farmer
Is destroyed. The speaker showed
plainly that for purposes of fertilizing
alone 1t paid to keep stock. When he
turned from this negative side to the
positive, and considered the selling of
stock and their products, it was APP
parent that the speaker had attended
long term in the school of experience.
j. A. Alderman, of Port Huron, was
called to the platform to speak on the
subject of "Chicory Raising" He
said about 76 million pounds of chic
DRY was grown in the United States the
past year, and that Is million pounds
of that was raised in this region and
manufactured in Port Huron. He
to support that claim, that st. Clair
county farmers could not raise any
other crop with as much profit.
EVENING SESSION.
1880. The meeting was called to
order by president King after instru-
mental music by Miss Nellie Michaels.
The first item on tho program was
called, namely, music by the Male
Quartette. 1t was the same old story;
they were roundly encored, and COM
PEELED to make their second little bow,
and do it once more.
j. l.. Snyder, president of the Mich
igan Agricultural College, was then
introduced and addressed the audience
on the theme, industrial Education
q Factor in Individual and National
Progress" The address was both
masterful and plain. The speaker
made an earnest plea for whole ed
ucation, which includes the training of
the will and heart as we'll as the men,
tai force. We regret that space forbids
us to even eritomize this speech. The
speech was built upon the broad foun-
dation of reason and sound morality.
Not one of the hundreds IN the vast
audience but was edited and instruct
ed by this address. The only criticism
we heard on the address was that it
was entirely too brief.
Harvey Tappan was called upon TO
present some thoughts on the topic of
Property and what to do with it when
we come to die. The talk was a very
interesting and instructive one, and
dealt with the making of wills, and the
descent of property to heirs. The
speaker hit one nail on the head when
he said that there is dense ignorance
about these things on the part of many
honest people. The point of common
law bearing on the descent of property
were so plainly and fully stated that
none could fail to comprehend and
profit. A hearty vote of thanks was
given Mr.. Tappan for his address.
Miss Blanche Parkinson was called
to the platform and delighted the
audience with recitation full of many
happy hits and pleasing Irish wit.
r. S. Campbell, commissioner of
schools for St. Clair county, was called
upon and happily responded on the
Topic of "Our Schools" This was the
last speech of the institute but it was
by no means the least, and though the
hour was late it was listened to with
intense attention by the multitude
present.
A hearty resolution Of thanks was
voted the people Of Yale for their
generous hospitality, the Male Quar-
tette and musicians for their excellent
music, the public school pupils who
enlivened the program with such
pleasing Rotations and drills, the
committee of arrangements for their
efficient aid, and merchants for the
use of the hall, printed programs and
song leaflets,
After joining heartily in singing,
"God be With You Till We Meet
Again" the institute adjourned.
