but men forget very easily--in fact,
they don't care to remember, especial
ly when other pretty faces keep bob
bling up all the time. as they do. If
you'll wait long enough lots of other
men will tell you the same thing-and
mean it just as much as the first one
did. Never let a man say to you or
do to you a thing that you would be
ashamed to have your mother know.
And, remember this, always-the man
who honestly loves you, and who
would wish you for his wife, is the
man who will honor womanhood. He
is NOT the man who asks you to meet
him clandestinely, or to go to wine
rooms with him, or who asks anything
of you which your woman's instinct
tells you is wrong, and the thought of
which must be miserable humiliation
to you in the years to come.

An Error Corrected.

Ames, Aug. 29-Editor Courier.
Under date of August 81. noticed an
editorial entitled Hands Against
Brains" in which the inference was
made that Iowa State College had on
ly five hundred while the State Uni
versity had thirteen hundred students.
In order that the error may be cor
rected. and that the public may have a
proper knowledge of the college work,
wish to state a few facts.
Iowa State College has fifteen COM
modious buildings, erected by the
state, at a cost of over 100000. In
addition to this new engineering
hall costing $165,O00 is now being
erected.
There are sixty-six officers of in
struction besides nonresident leetur.
ers.
The enrolment for the year 1900
1901 was over one thousand, OF which
number four hundred twenty-five were
in the engineering courses, eighty-five
in the dairy, and forty-fiye in the vet
Urinary. The balance were enrolled
in the science and agricultural
courses
Judging from the rapid growth oil
this, and other like colleges, and from
the large percentage of students en-
rolled in the courses related to thf
mechanic arts, it is safe to say thai
the genteel professions no longer holt
the place that they formerly did. The
man who gets a practical education
of both hand and brain is better fittet
for life than he'who educates only the
hand or the head. Walter Peck.
