1t was at one time the prevailing
idea that science has nothing to do
with useful things, but must be studied
for it's, own sake alone. Industry it
was thought, too, is not subject to
improvement, but must move in the
grooves worn for it by long estab-
lished custom. AS scientific knowl-
edge grew, however. there were not
wanting men who saw that many in
dustries might be greatly advanced
by throwing the light of science upon
industrial methods. The happiness of
the masses of men is bound up with
industrial life. and every improvement
in industrial methods is a possible en-
largement of human we'll being. 1t is
probably beyond dispute that nothing
has so increased the sum of human
happiness as the application of science
to industry.
In comparatively recent years this
idea has wrought a revolution in agri-

Agriculture has always been recog-

to human welfare. Yet at no time
has so much thought been expended
upon it as at present. In recent times
there has been remarkable improve
ment in agricultural knowledge and
methods. The application of science
to the practical affairs of life has
worked great changes in many fields,
and nowhere is this more noticeable
than in agriculture. Young men are
finding that the opportunities for a
life of progressive activity and ad-
vancement are not confined to the CITY,

brought into touch with agricultural

new and improved methods of prOduc

the agricultural colleges have been
of great Importance, and men who are

of their state could not do themselves

becoming intimately acquainted with
the work of their agricultural college.
