FRESHMEN TAKE
TECHNICAL COURSE
Work Of Delaware College
Never in a Healthier
Condition

An interesting fact about the new
freshman class at Delaware College IS
that il includes a larger proportion OF
students in the agricultural and engi-
neering courses than any previous
class has numbered. OF twenty-five
freshmen ninetgen have entered i'm the
courses indicated. Hitherto the Latin
scientific course has usually included
from 30 TO 90 per cent OF the students.
The popularity Of this course doubt
less is due TO the fact that II as re-
garded as the easiest pathway to the
professions of law and medicine. The
change this year IS doubtless partly
accidental, but also in part because OF
a wider acquaintance throughout the
state with what Delaware College has
to offer In IT'S technical courses.
There is no desire on the part of the
authorities to make the college a mere
technical school, and fortunately its
endowment is designed to foster as
well instruction in other than teohni-
cal branches, but the larger part OF the
income Is now spent in providing for
the technical courses. and there Is
still much room for growth here, as
the teaching force and the mechanical
equipment are amply nulllltul lOI
considerably ,arge classes.
Meanwhile the work OF the college
IN its other courses was never In a
healthier state. There Is a growing in
terest In language work throughout
the student body, and there seems 20
be a hopeful movement among the
better equipped public schools to pre-
pare students TO meet the proposed
higher entrance requirements In the
languages.
Another hopeful sign Is the disposi-
tion OF former students to return TO
finish uncompleted courses. or to pros
ecute graduate work. Although In
such a college the teaching energy
must be in the main devoted to the
instruction Of undergraduates. there Is
the utmost readiness on the part OF the
faculty to find time for graduate work
The presence OF graduate students Is
felt by the faculty to be helpful to the
tone Of the student body. Former
students and others OF mature years
who believe that they may be able To
profit by what the college has 20 oifei
in graduate work will do wei, to ad.
dress the president for further infor
nation on this head.

Packing siiagc.

The item of greatest Importance in
packing silage is to have a silo that will
not allow carbonic acid gas to escape.
says Hoard's Dairyman. This gas will
go wherever water will go, and our
silo should be tight enough in all its
joints to hold water SiIage would spoil
very soon if it We're not for the fact
that in its first fermentation carbonic
acid gas is formed, which, being heav-
Ter than fhe air. displaces it. Just as
pouring water into a barrel expels the
air. Without air. fermentation canpot
proceed. and hence as long as this gas
is retained IN the silo further fermen-
tation Is impossible. SO. too. after the
age is firmly compacted by settling,
u is impossible fer the air to strike

most, unless there are. as there is most
likely to be. some portions where the

How long the farm will remain the
