Sign of the Times.

The fact that a purely city institution.
like Columbia University, has established
an agricultural department Is one of the
| most significant signs Of the times. Such
instruction would not be provided unless
there were need for 1t. The intention Of
the trustees to invest SoOnOOoO In an
educational plant indicates their expecta-
ton OF the future demands upon It.
William c. Brown, president Of the
New York Central railroad who was
born and brought up on farm. and has
a farm of his own in Clarinda. Iowa.
made some startling statements the other
day in public speech. He declared:
We must increase our production per
acre by more intelligent methods or face
the relentless certain day when We shall
not produce enough good 20 supply our
own necessities
The wages of labor have steadily ad-
vanced and must continue to advance in
the same ratio with the increase IN the
cost OF things that labor must buy. Sta
tlstics show that the failure to increase
the product OF our farms in anything like
the ratio OF the increase in consumption
is exering more than three times the eff
feet upon the cost of living that the in
crease of gold is having.
II the converging lines Of production
and consumption in the United States
continue TO approach each other as they
have during the past ten years. before
the middle Of the decade upon which we
have just entered has been reached the
last vessel loaded with the agricultural
products OF this country will have left
our SHORES. the exporting grain elevators
| in our seaport cities will stand empty,
and this great nation. like those Of the
old world. will be looking for a place to
buy the necessaries of life There is no
alternative.
with a succession of bountiful harvests
the price OF grain has steady advanced
until the prices OF 19ns-19O9 show in
creases over those of 1898 as follows:

PRINCETON'.S ERRORS
Imrersity Librarian Pleads
for Oil on Uoters.

In a communication to the current num-
her of The Princeton Alumni Weekly
under the caption. "A Suggestion for Har-
mony," Ernest c. Richardson librarian OF
the university. traces the details of the
dispute that has arisen over the plans for
a graduate college. and ends with the plea
that every one should pour a little oil on
troubled waters, instead of trying to set
fire to what has been poured. and to think
as hard as he cam believing that in this
way will be found the answer to the CUES
ton. May We not get together again at
once, not without scars. but for the most
part scars as trifing as the things which
have occasioned them-the only exception
to this being perhaps the deep personal in
jury to Mr.. Procter?''
Mr.. Richardson says that whatever the
causes may be they may all be reduced to
two miStakes-one of conception and one
of method. He continues:
The error in conception was the failure
great question of a graduate school. with
its departments of training for instruction
and training for research, its organizing
of expeditions. the formulating and pub
fishing of results, its equipment of libra
Ties, laboratories, museums. Seminaries and
so on. with the question of one graduate
college, mere dormitory of which there
might he Gt has been Said) one or a dozen"
The fundamental error in method, Mr.
Richardson writes, is that the details We're
taken direct to the trustees without having
been thrashed out in debate in the faculty.
