North Dakota ought to be proud
OF student and an institution that
can bring such honors to the state.
Beating Boston and Yale Univer-
sities, to say nothing Of the others,
is no small tack and especially In
literary lines. Prof. Min1rd Justly
feels elated over the success that has
come to one of his students.
It also brings out another fact,
and that is, that studying agriculture
does not mean dropping out cultul.
and Above of the beautiful; in fact,
the opposite is the case. Literature
is in one sense a reflection of nature
and must be true ~ it, and nature
is the domain OF agriculture, so that
it is a cultural study of the very
highest type. This is being realized
more and more by prominent edu-
Gators as thew are coming to learn
khe real significance of this sub
feet, which has been In oen sense
looked down upon. A person with
q training in agriculture will not
make many of the crude mistakes
that one so often runs across In
books written by those ignorant OF
nature, her laws, principles and facts
and such books do not live, Agri-
culture also has this advantage, that
It gives a more sane view Of life
and of life at the present instead of
in the past and looks to the econo-
mic side Of things more. Why not
study butterfly. a bird and plant
from the standpoint Of what good
or of what bad it does as we'll as
from the standpoint Of classification
There Is much more of value to
the average man in the first method,
