WASHINGTON, Aug. Scientists
are deeply disappointed today. The
eclipse Of the sun was scheduled and
1t was expected to solve problems that
long have puzzled astronomers. The
formation and substance of the cor.

to know what the great tongues of
flame that have lighted the earth for
thousands of years fed upon -
They had made many calculations
and they felt the eclipse would show
them much and reveal facts especially
to let them ascertain II the planets
are nearer the sun than Mercury, but
alas! the sun and eclipse. which was
only partial, was utterly obscureI by
clouds. The United States observa-
tory was crowded with leading pro

technical training, coupled with abil-
ity to do things, is required. The

culture and engineering, opportunities
being provided for the training Of

ment of agriculture and elsewhere.
The agricultural experiment station
Is apartment Of the college, and Is
engaged in making Investigations and
conducting experiments of great
value to the farmers Of Oklahoma.
Frequent publications, reporting the
results of these experiments, are is
sued by the station and sent free to
all who request them. The mailing
list Of the station now contains more
than twenty thousand names, and is
growing rapidly. Because OF the
work of the station and the varied
courses of instruction afforded by the
college, there is growing interest In
agriculture in the territories. The
| following from a recent issue of the
Oklahoma State Capital shows the re-
lation which this college bears toward
this new movement:
The remarkable apparent interest
of teachers and educators in instruc-
ton in agriculture in the common
schools brings to mind the fact that
such instruction can be had only from
teachers who themselves know some
thing of the subject. And this situa-
tion is more than satisfactory al
though there seems to have been an
Oversight in the recent discussion as
to the existing facilities in Oklahoma
for training teachers to do this work
acceptibly and with profit to their pu-
pills.

chanical college is In a class with the
best industrial colleges of the older
states. 1t is one Of the few agricul'

OKLAHOMA AGRICULTURAL AND

There is In each state and territory
one educational institution snrported
In part by the federal government,
and in part by the local governments.
The leading object of each of these
institutions is ito teach such
branches of learning as are related to
agriculture and the mechanical arts.
in order to promote the liberal and
practical education Of the industrial
classes In the several pursuits and
professions of life" In Oklahoma
this institution is at Saltwater, and
the Oklahoma Agricultural and Me-
chanical college has from the first
closely adhered to the purposes for
which 1t was established. 1t gives
thorough instruction in agriculture,
in engineering and in the sciences re-
lated thereto, and its courses are ar
ranged so that all who wish instruc-
tion along these lines may get much
or little of 1t, depending upon the
character Of the work for which they
The Muskogee cimeter. [volume] (Muskogee, Indian Territory, Okla.) 1901-19??, 1905-01-26

wish to prepare. The following
courses of study are open to students
from Oklahoma and Indian Terri
tories:
One weeks course In stock judging
and seed selection for farmers and
breeders, February 6 to February 13,
1905.
Eight weeks course in general agri-
culture and eight weeks course in
'dairying, now in progress, closing
February "a, 1905. The purpose Of
these courses is to get young farmers
started on the way toward scientific
farming and to acquaint them with a
few Of the many applications of sci
ence to the daily life OF the farm.
Two years course in agriculture
and domestic economy for the boys
and girls who wish a training which
fits them for a life on the farm. This
course begins about the middle of Oc-
'tober each year and continues until
the middle Of March. Students over
fourteen years of age are admitted
without examination, but must show
by the character of the work which
they do that they are in earnest and
that they are doing the best they
can. Approximately one-half Of the
time Is spent on common school
studies and the other half in the
study of agriculture by the boys and
domestic economy by the girls.
Among the subjects taught in this
course are live stock md stock judg-
ing, animal diseases, entomology, hor-
ticulture. Horticulture, gardening,
dairying. poultry. stock feeding, agri-
culture, chemistry and soils and
crops. The girls take such of the
above subjects as are suited to them,
and in addition are given instruction
and practical work in sewing and
eooking.
The above courses are for those who
either have not completed the first
eigtt grades OF the common schools
The Muskogee cimeter. [volume] (Muskogee, Indian Territory, Okla.) 1901-19??, 1905-01-26

or because of their age, want to get
ready for practical work.
Graduates of the common schools
are admitted to the more advanced
work of the college without examin-
alton. Five years are required for
the completion of one of the regular
college courses, of which there are
three-agriculture mechanical and
electrical engineering and general
science. The purpose of these courses
is to give thorough liberal and prac-
tical education of the best sort.
Graduates of the agricultural course
are prepared to teach agriculture, to
manage large farms or to do other
work where a combination of prac-
tical and scientific knowledge is re-
uuired. Graduates of the engineering
course readily find employment with
manufacturers of electric machinery,
as superintendent of electric light
plants, in railway manufacturing &
plants and wherever a high grade Of

1t has gradually acquired equipment
and trained men until it is now one OF
the best. But that does not mean that
1t is good enough The legislature of
Oklahoma owes something to the
agricultural interests. And 1t is up to
the legislature to take care of them.
The first Of these interests is the agri-
cultural college. And abreast of that
Is the board of agriculture and the
farmers institute systems of the ter
ritory. There should be no niggardly
policy with regard to these institu-
tions. And the people of Oklahoma
Will endorse what may seem to be a
bit OF extravaganza In bolstering up
the dominant industry of Oklahoma
and encouraging the youth of the ter
ritory to follow the most profitable
and logical line Of business that is
open 90 them.
But the existing situation points
with accuracy 60 the necessity of the
teachers learning something about
agriculture and then teaching the pu-
pills in the common schools what they
can.
None except those who have been
trying to do it can have an adequate
notion of the amount of equipment,
both in the way of material things and
specially trained men, which is reQuir-
ed to give effective instruction, in ag.
riculture to those who are preparing
to teach the subject. After all these
years, the A. and NJ. college has Just
about got shaped up so that it can dc
fairly satisfactory work along this
line. And to do thoroughly satisfac
tory work with many students will re-
quire many times the equipment
which 1t now has. The agricultural
subjects taught in the school of agri
culture, supplemented by the spring
terms work for teachers which fol
lows 1t each year, furnish an effective
course for the preparation of teachers
who wish to fit themselves for teach
Ing the little agriculture that it has
been found practicable to put into the
public schools elsewhere. There are
several good books arranged tobeusel
as readers in the public schools and
at the same time to provide syste
matte instruction in the elementary
agriculture. Eut the teacher to do the
work well must know more about the
subject than is laid down in the book
and be able from this margin of know
ledge to develop the subjects taken ur
In the reader and bring out their full
educational value.
The system of county high schools
The Muskogee cimeter. [volume] (Muskogee, Indian Territory, Okla.) 1901-19??, 1905-01-26

have been thoroughly trained In somo
agricultural college would give the
young people of each county an oppor-
tunity TO get this sort of instruction
close to their homes and would fur
nish suitable teachers for the rural
schools. A course of this character
in the county high schools, supple
mented by further study in the A. and
M. college, will develop teachers who
are interested in agriculture and train
ed to teach it acccptibly. Nothing
short of this sort OF training for rural
school teachers should be permitted
il instruction in agriculture is to he
anything more than name
Something of the same plan might
easily be followed with preparation OF
teachers for work along mechanical
lines. The engineering department
Of the A. and M. college Is as natur-
ally the place for the training Of
teachers of this work In the public
schools and the county high schools
could secure the services of engineer

industrial departments. AS with agri-
culture, IL requires extended equip.

sion of this equipment to meet in

these lines would be more economical
and result in more effective instruc-
tion than partially duplicating the re-
quired facilities elsewhere.

In recent editorial the Capital
says:
Interest in agricultural education
directs attention to the work that has
been done along this line and to it's
good results. II the benefits of agri-
cultural education had not become
patent to the teachers and patrons OF
the schools there would have been no
attention for the study OF farming.
in this connection the good work OF
the Oklahoma Agricultural and Me-

consideration. II has been shown at
