We acknowledge the receipt OF
the prospectus of the Ames College
and it is pamphlet that should go
into the hands of every farmer boy
IN the country. 1t is replete with
bright sayings and pictures Of col
lege, campus and scenes of college
lite that ought to set on fire the
pulslng ambition to educate to
succeed in practical and successful
farming. We had just read the
editorial in the Capital, and the
scent of dandelions and violets was
still in our nostrils and the vail
from farmers still in our ears as we
saw in fancy the boys trooping off
to town while the weeds grow tall
and the corn is left Implanted. But
the lines were not trailing to the
school house, nor yet going town
ward very fast unless the parents
go there too. Its not the farm boys
that are standing on the corners
smoking cigarettes and making
expressions that should burn their
tongues. Not the farm boys who
demand automobiles to drive the
COWS or umbrellas over them as
they pillow. The farm boy is all
right. He has hold of the crank
that turns the old wheels of state.
He sits in the legislative halls or in
the courts of Europe and dictates
and. interprets our questions of
national and international i'm
portance. He is figuring out the
formula by which the world gets its
bread and butter. Its the town
raised, school cranmed youth who
parts his hair in the middle and
smokes cigarettes to soften brain
a tad ridden school fraternity would
spoil anyway. The farm boy grows,
expands and builds up physique
that kings envy and when he does
get in school has brain that I'M
folds, adds to, assimilates and he
comes out stronger and more able
to cope with life's battles than his
less fortunate or less educated
brother. Young man go to college,.
Go long enough to get the big head
knocked out of you and to find that
there is more in the world than YOU
will ever know, but go to college.
