A squ.bbls At Fort colilna

The Agricultural college. Fort Col.
lins. is divided sgsinst itself. There
are two parties In the faculty and
management Of the college. ss there
arc in almost everything else. One
party is in favor OF making the in
StitutioU q training school for farm
ers. The adhcrcnts OF this party say
that there arc plenty OF places where
men and women may &C, the ordin-
airy academic education. They point
out that those who conc to the Ag-
ricuiturai college come for = definite
specific thing. and that thing 10 ia-
creased knowledge about farming.
This. therefore. Is wha; that school
should furnish. Leave the higher cd.
ucation to the universities and coll
icgcs Of the liberal arts. but make
the Agricultural college technical
institute. devoted to the training OF
farmers.
The other party Is the party of
higher education. i; admits that tho
college i primarily technical
school BIZ; it mRcs 'ha; every
technical training needs n broad
scientific basis: aud that farmer
will he the better for 4 knowledge OF
geometry and chemistry. as truly
a. for an understanding Of the
mysteries Of breeding and feeding.
They say with truth that the students
who come to Fort Collins will not
get ihi. training IN any other school
and that therefore IL is up tn tile Ag-
ricuiturai college to- furnish 1t.
We suspect that the purposes oi the
Agricultural college will be best
served by giving the strictly farmers

And like Dean Hart. he probably has

And yet Mr.. O'Ncill didn't say
anything cxtravagant or absurd. as
Dean Hart did last year. about our

that despite our educational system

PEPPEKY PEOPLE.

The Japan people are fretting them
selves into frenzy over anything that
may happen to one of their race in this
country. They are hot, peppery little
people, dare-devilish, and do not regard
life as worth much in fight, and they
are magnifying and exaggerating every
little thing that occurs in the United
States to one of their nationality as the
result of hatred and race prejudice.
They are not willing to allow this Gov
eminent to deal with the violators of
law according to our laws and punish
the criminals, but rather think they
can better the situation by threatening
through their newspapers to fly to
arms to revenge any alleged infraction.
What they deserve is to get spanked
real good by some powerful nation, and
probably they will not then feel 80
brave and war.like.

LECTURE COURSE.

An effort is being made to secure for
Marietta this year lecture course of
high class entertainments, such as is
furnished by the Atlanta Lyceum Bu-
reau. With the new opera house and
its comforts, there ought to be no doubt
as to the results of the effort. Marietta
is large enough and has enough culture
to support such an undertaking liber-
ally,
TO insure the success of the course,
it will be necessary to secure about one
hundred and twenty double season tick
cts.
This work looks to the upbuilding of
the town and the development of the
people, especially our young.
During the long winter nights, an en-
tertainment, such as is offered in this
course, once month, will furnish re-
creation, pleasure and profit to our
people.
