THE COLLEGE OF AGRICULTURE
NV MExIcos GREAT EDUCATION NAL NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
EQUIPPED-FlLLED TO UTMOST cAPAclTY-MoRE ROOM AB
SOLUTELY NECESSARY

A copy of the catalog of the New
Mexico College of Agriculture and
Mechanic Arts for 1907-0S has just
been received by the New Mexican.
The catalogue is an excellent one in a
great many respects. The fact that
there is an institution in the Territory
that can plan and carry out to com
pletion such an artistic production as
this catalog is speaks volumes for the
educational side of the Territory. The
catalog gives concise history of the
institution it's location and income
and lists the high schools OF the Terri
tory from which graduates are admit
ted without examination or on GER
tificate showing that the same or
equivalent amount of work has been
completed in any of the high schools.
Full Four Year Courses.
The catalog shows that the College
offers full four-year courses in
Household Econimics, in Agriculture
and Horticulture and in Engineering
which includes Mechanical Engineer
ing, Civil Engineering, Electrical En-
gineering and Irrigation Engineering
There is also four years General
Scientific course offered, besides a
number of short courses in Agricul-
ture, Domestic Science, Practical Me
chanics, English and Spanish Steno-
graphy and Commerce.
One thing of particular interest is
a new short course which has been
planned for the winter months, be-
ginning October 2Sth and ending
March lst, for young men on the farm
and ranches who are not able to at
tend the entire year but who are very
desirous of getting in closer touch
with the work in which they are in
terested. Boys on the farm and ranch
are particularly busy during the great
er portion of the year and this course
ought to be OF great interest and help
to them.
Further on in the catalog each de-
partment of the institution is fully
written up and each subject of the
department explained thorough
ly. One striking thing of
each department is that it
is headed by neat drawing H.
Illustrative of the department These
drawings were all made by one of the
students of the institution and are
exceedingly creditable pieces of work.
1t is pleasing to notice that the de-
partments are evidently growing in
popularity and in attendance from the
fact that there is noticeable increase
in the number of instructors. Besides
the usual work offered heretofore in
Agriculture there has been added a
complete course In Farm Mechanics,

Farm Machinery and Irrigation Prac-
tice.
New Members Of Faculty.
The fact that the faculty continues
to grow both in number and strength
indicates the steady growth in the eff.
flciency of the College. In addition to
the faculty of last year Professor P.
E. McClenahan comes from Iowa with
strong recommendations as a prepara-
tory teacher. He will have charge Of
the preparatory department of the col
lege. Professor Arthur Watkins of
Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, assumes
charge this year of the Music De.
partment and is prepared to still
further organize and strengthen the
College Orchestra and to organize a
band for the Military Department.
Professor Watkins is strong man
in voice work and has also given par
ticular attention and study to the cello
and flute.
Professor Burton P. Fleming of
Cornell University, who has been for
several years connected with the ir-
rigation investigation department of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture at Washington, takes charge
of the Irrigation Department and this
work will prove of great benefit to
the Agricultural students in New Mex
leo where irrigation is a big part of
successful farming.
Largest Attendance This Year.
Professor Frank Stockton of the
University of Nebraska, was elected
to the position of assistant in Physics
and Soil Physics and will assist Pro-
fessor Tinsley in the work and give
attention to the details of the depar-
ment while Mr.. Tinsley is travelling
over the Territory consulting with the
farmers in regard to their difficulties
and planning Farmers Institutes and
bringing to their attention what the
College has to offer and the willing
ness of the Experiment Station to
render assistance at any time that it
is possible for it to do so.
Along with the catalog comes re-
port that the attendance at the Col
lege this year is most encouraging. At
the close of the second day there was
an enrolment of 172 students, 48 more
than for the corresponding time last
year. The college dormitories are
proving quite popular this year and it
is going to be necessary for the in
stitution to erect additional quarters
for the accommodation of the young
men.
The girls dormitory is large and
commodious building comfortably
furnished and we'll taken care Of and

NO COAL FOR

Large Concerns Refuse to Bid OWinq

New York, Sept. 14.-The situation
with regard to the proposals issued
by the bureau of equipment of the
navy department for supplying coal
for the battleship fleet on it's voyage
70 the Pacific says the Journal Of
Commerce, has assumed interesting
shape by statements of several agents
that large coal concerns will not bid.
The reason given is that they have
no necessary quantity on hand aside
from that demanded by private con-
tracts already entered into. Coal it
is stated. can be obtained in England
at fancy prices.

chases of mining property during the
