ton.
The cry has gone up and is sill to
be heard on every hand that "the Uni
versity Of Wyoming is small" Have
you ever been there? DO you know
that the buildings are ample and that
the furnishings and equipment and
the teaching force are sufficient to
care for every young person in Wyo.
ming who is prepared to attend? There
is nothing small concerning the insti-
tuition except the lack of appreciation
some of the citizens of the state have
shown by attending elsewhere.
Legislators and Leaders.
Surely. for q life here in our great
stAte with it's few people, here where
the opportunity for each individual is
unlimited. there h every reason why
CIR young people s11Auld receive their
pseparation In our o4n university. Is
It worth anything ~ associate day
after day in chss. o1gthe athletic field,
in the social life. short, to be a
colleague" with ~ flower of the
young people Of yoUssown state? You,
II you are prepared, and those other
young people are going to make polit-
ical, moral, and eco4omsc advantages
and reforms tomofb6w. You are go
ing to be the legislator and the lead,
ers and producers II the making of q
greater Wyoming.

Should you Wish. before settling into
Jour life work. 70 take time for an
acquaintance with the ideals held by
the greatest thinkers preceding you.
and. thus, be better able to form and
hold worthy decisions when the prob.
slems Of Me confront Won, attend the
college Of liberal arts. Make use OF
the splendid university library in

Opportunity for Teachers
Are you going to guide the little
feet to manhood and womanhood and
worthy citizenship? Then study peda-
gogic methods at your state normal
rather than in some eastern school,
where the methods apply to the condi
tions of a crowded city school, where
the children have no appreciation Of
nature or of an outside world. Are
you going to make 'the desert blossom
as the rose?" Then study irrigation
engineering at wyoming" rather than
In Boston school of technology. Are
you going to help find and bring out
the treasures hidden away in the
earth? Then attend your own school
Of mines rather than some noted one
where the blessings of co-education
are absent and where young men live
In an environment that induces them
to bost of their wildness and immoral
ity.
Up to Date Farmer.
Are you going to be a practical TWEEN
tieth century agriculturist or stock
grower? Then study alfalfa and range
conditions In your state agricultural
college rather than corn-fed hogs and
bluegrass shorthorns at Ames, Iowa.
II you are going to do any of these
things, II you have any purpose In life.
il you intend t o be any mans master
in anything, get ready for it here in
your own home environment, here with
the men and the women with whom
you are going to live and work.
Good of Personal Teaching.
Is 1t worth anything to recite to
able professors who know you person
ally, professors who in many instances
know your parents and something OF
your home life, who take enough per-
sonal interest in you to see that you
are in a comfortable boarding house.
and that you have a doctor and flowers
If you are i'll? All, yes, 1t is worth
something, worth very much more
than to recite to a professor who
