Old Meaning Of Pageant.
rom the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The church pageant has sent one curl
Gus about the exact meaning of words to
the dictionary. wherein lie finds that the
original meaning OF pageant is not the
one it possesses today. To us the word
signifies a spectacle. or theatrical exhibi-
ton The original pageant was the fixed
or movable scaffold on which plays were
presented. The pagcants of the middle
ages were wholly ecclestastic. as the
Snectator reminds US THE removal of
these liturgical plays from choir TO nave,
and from nave TO churchyard. were only
steps in the evolution of the mystery
play, and its passage from the exclusive
care of ecclesiastics to its presentation

Montana's Great Agricultural
Development.

Never before has the Montana
Agricultural College been SO flooded
with letters asking for information on
all phases at agriculture; and never
before has there been such demand
for young men vino are trained along
agricultural lines and who are compe-
tent to handle large agricultural en-
terprises.
Montana agriculture is compare
lively new To a certain extent man
must learn how to handle land either
above or below the ditch. During the
next few years. Montana will develop
agriculturally as she has never done be-
fcre- There is coming to be an enor-
nous demand for this land which we
might say is the last cheap land on
the continent. Already in the eastern
part of the State, regular scramble
for land is beginning and in the wes-
tern part OF the State, the fruit lands
Of the Bitter Root and the Flathead
are attracting attention the world
over. Land values are increasing by
leaps and bounds.
This year every department Of the
Agricultural College has been flooded
with inquiries asking for young men
who are capable Of handling various
agricultural projects. All Of the young
men who are capable have been spoken
for long ago and i the college had had
fifty more young men who were ready,
they could have found splendid posi-
tions in almost any section Of the
State.

out pillow lays and in fact doing all OF
the iron and wood repair work about

them an insight into the proper way
Of handling all iron and wood tools and
proves Of very great value to those
who take it.
Now this course is not meant in any
way to conflict with the High Schools
Of the State, but is simply intended
for the 95 per cent mentioned above,
who drop out after the eighth grade
and who wish to qualify themselves
for this line of work.
The course will begin about the goth

many young men in the State have
registered for it. On account of lack
Of room it will be almost impossible to
register more than a hundred students
for this course, and 50 the first hun
dred who apply will be accepted.
The above course IS distinct one
IN itself and must not be confused with
the Regular College Course in Agri-
culture as given at the Agricultural
College. Graduate students from the
high school enter as freshmen for the
College Course, and, just to give you
an idea Of the great demand for thor
oughly equipped and trained young
men from the College Course, we

Of Montana will content themselves

IS per cent Of all the young men in
the State drop out after completing
the 9th grade and receive no further

college at Bozeman is offering short
course in agriculture to cover the six
winter months. By this arrangement,
the young men can have all the busy
summer months to work upon their
own ranches, or to work for others,
and thus be able to save up sufficient
amount Of money to put them through
college for the entire winter.
Young men all the way from four
