AS showing the anxiety of some
young men to acquire an education,
the following incident speaks for
itself:
Announcement was made some
time ago that the A. & NJ. College
would receive 25 young men who
were willing to work on the farm
half the time, the college course being
provided for them free in this way.
There were $50 applicants for the
places and 25 were chosen from that
number. What a pity that all OF
these boys could not have been pro-
vided for and given an opportunity
to get an education.
