The time when to possess tiny feet

The proper and beautiful thing nova
days is to be of classical dimensions.

4 He FRIENDLY agreement which
4 has been reached by the repre-
sentatives Of the Agricultural college
and the University OF Utah, respec-
lively. will cause qualification to all
friends OF education in this state. The
dlssensions between these institutions
of learning had come to be public prop
erty There was jealousy and i'll feel
ing that could not fail to work great
harm TO both OF them, and a robust
disgust was fast growing in the public
mind for both.
Now all that is past. BY the terms of
the agreement the Agricultural college
viii continue its courses in civil and
mechanical engineering and the uni
versity will have undisputed possession
Of the school of mines and of electrical
engineering. Duplication of courses of
study. which have in the past proven
so expensive and so unnecessary, will
be discontinued as far as possible.
All pending legislation not in con-
formity with the agreement win be
abandoned. The adjustment of differ
ences is satisfactory to the educators
IN charge of the college and the uni
versity, and it will assuredly meet with
the approval of the general public.
Governor Wells is entitled to credit for
the happy contamination, for it was
through his friendly offices that the
warning factions were drawn together
in a peaceful conference.
The University of Utah and the Ag-
riculturaI college are both institutions
of great value to the state. Each has
its particular field, and each should be
particularly careful to remain in that
field. The Logan institution was de-
signed primarily to turn out scientific
farmers, husbandmen and housewives,
as its name indicates. Incidental to
studies along these lines are studies in
other lines which make for enlightened
manhood and womanhoOd.
At the university studies in the line
or higher education and the liberal arts
are pursued. Here, too. good work
is being done. The popularity of both
the Logan-cSAese> and the university
] p han Increasing despite the inhar-
nony existing betweenN them. Nov
mat that has been removed both should
go forward with unprecedented ac-
tivity.
1t is the province OF no. one at this
time to say who was to blame. Both
sides were to blame to som6, perhaps TO
the same extent but peace has come
now and in the rejoicing over that, all
the rest should be forgotten.
