Recognizing the place of art train

special reference to ceramics.
The aim of the college is to enlarge
the resources of its students along both
practical and esthetic lines. The men

equipped in the science of agriculture
and mechanic arts live in close touch
with nature. They have a right to
demand that training of the artistic
sense which will enable them to appre-
ciate and apply those principles of fit
ness and harmony and proportion
which are manifested in nature. The
refinement of taste and development of
the power of discrimination is espe-
eially helpful in the home. Hence the
work in art is being adapted to the
of students in household
economics.

mental. The course provides for the
study of line, form, Tin the abstract
