The catalogue is the second public an
nouncement from the new management OF
the Agricultural college. The first is in
the form of a breezy circular of informal
pages of matter, and characterized by
hortatory discourses and colloquially pic
turesque phrasing- do you want to be

you don't, get into line" The way to Sc
cure an education is ito put on your
working clothes and get to work"
Ii you say that agriculture or house
keeping Is not suited for intelligent. am
bilious men and women, the pamphlet
calls you a "mOssbacl or IAN old fogy,'
and eXhorts you to brace up and forget
your thousand-year-old prejudices' If
you think the style of the pamphlet is

institution you are Observation-Disclosures

The spirit of the little book is such as
to reach a large class of readers. 1t
urges in general that one cannot ade-
quately rise to the opportunities of this
generation without an education and
specifically that the age demands of one
an industrial educatiOn-such as the Ag-
riculturai college provides. The pamph-
let is being much more widely circulated
than the catalogue and doubtless will do
much to interest boys and girls and par
ents in the Logan school
Nearly every instructor of the college,
it is said, has been sent out to canvass
the state for students.
