the agriculturists shall have the best
education. Any ordinary man can
make money in certain channels OF
commerce. Special work requires
the development of only limited
amount of brain power. A clerical
man need not be a student OF any
thing but commercial forms in the
line of his work. The business
man has but one avenue of thought
to direct his actions. The banker
does not require more than a COM
mon education such as may be had
at any of the short course CONNER
cial schools. Not so with the stu
dent of agriculture.
Agriculture is the foundation of
all forms of industrial and CONNER
cial prosperity. The basis of wealth
is the land and its products. 1t has
been the source of individual hap
piness and national prosperity since
the foundation of the world, and
will continue so until the end of
time. 1t requires the best trained
minds to direct it in the most sue
cessful channels. The modern
farmer should understand the lam
guage and law of the country. He
cannot succeed without some know
ledge of the soil and its numerous
productions. He must study poll
teal economy and be informed on
all that pertains to the commercial
manners and customs of the people
with whom he deals as producer
and consumer. Seattle P.-I.

An Agricultural Education.

The college season will open in a
few days and students from all sec
tons of the country will be enrolled
in some of the numerous institu-
tons of learning. If a census of
the public were taken and everyone
asked to name the occupation he in
tended making preparations for,
about one in one hundred would an
swer that he intended to be farm
er. The majority would favor some
of the professions. Few would ap-
prove of any trade or profession re-
curing manual labor for success.
Such is the general conception of
the power of a college education.
Farmers make the mistakes Of
their lives in attempting to educate
their brightest sons and daughters
for professions. They argue that
the dull pupils can remain at home
and work on the farms. AS others
have accumulated land and money
without beingeducated it is claimed
the young man of today can do the
same. If the mere getting of mon
ey is taken as basis of success,
then few require the assistance of
any colleges. Some of the wealth.
est men were educated in the COM
mon schools. Their success in &C
cumulating riches did not depend
on book knowledge.
Modern civilization demands that

in the rear some three feet lower
makes practically continuous gal
lery. Space is arranged upon the
right of the choir for a pipe organ
to be installed later and upon the
lett for choir assembly and music
room. The entire auditorium will
seat nearly 500 without extra chairs
and everyone in iull view Of the
platform. The windows will be
large and ornamental, the roof plan
cruciform and the general exterior
effect semi-ecclesiastical.
1t is expected that the building
will be inclosed this fall and pushed
to completion this winter. The
church members, though few have
much of this worlds goods, are rich
i'll faith and good works. They are
sacrificing freely for this beautiful
temple.
The people of Pullman ought GER
tainly to appreciate this added or
nament to the city.

The New Christian Church.

Few people in Pullman, outside
of those especially interested, are
aware of the magnitude of an enter
prise which means much for the
moral and spiritual development of
our city.
The people of the Church of
Christ are an enthusiastic, progress
i've body who believe in the future
and permanency of Pullman as a
residence and educational center
equal to any in the Inland Empire
and have laid plans accordingly for
the erection of a church building,
commodious, ornamental and i'm
posing, adapted to the needs of a
growing, up-to-date congregation
which proposes to make itself indis-
pensable to the city's welfare.
The little church on the hill is al
together inadequate for the work in
tended, and while the new house
may seem trihe large for present
needs, yet one always buys gar
ments size or two large for lusty
boy, anticipating his growth to fit.
A short description of the build
ing may prove interesting. 1t will
be 6ox67 feet on the ground and, as
the location invites, complete high
basement ten feet in the clear is be-
ing built of concrete. This will
provide Sunday school auditorium
and several large class rooms be-
sides library, kitchen and boiler
and fuel room. A low-pressure
steam heating plant will be installed
to heat the entire building. There
will be two main entrances to the
basement on the north and south
sides.
The entrance to the main floor
will be upon the west from a porch
extending the entire width of the
house, inclosed at either end for
cloak and toilet room purposes, with
entrances from the foyer or vesti-
bules. Two pair of double swing
doors will admit to the foyer, which
will be the full width of the build.
ing, save for the passages Leading to
cloak rooms and gallery stairs on
either end. Several sets of swing
doors will admit to the main audi
forum, which will be nearly square,
seated with pews upon an inclined
floor, seating capacity of 464 be-
ing arranged for. The pulpit will
be directly opposite the main en-
frances, with study and choir rooms
on either side in the rear. The
baptistry will be a model of conyeu-
fence directly back of the pulpit and
under the choir loft, shut from view
by double slide doors and covered
by floor upon rollers, which carry
1t into a rear passageway. Steps
invisible to the audience will lead
into the baptistry.
The auditorium will be surround

every way, and while both men made

their managers, yet they could have
done more had they been up against
