more than fifty buildings. The flood
did not spend its force until 1t raced

PROPOSE SHORTER COURSE
Doctor Riggs viii Make Recommen
dation to the Trustees of Clemson
college.-course of Studies.

Columbia.-A special from Anderson
states that in order to introduce
scientific farming in every section OF
the state, DR.. Riggs. president OF
Clemson college. is going to recon-
mend to the board Of trustees OF that
institution that a one-year course OF
agriculture be introduced at7Clemson,
and that this course consist OF every
thing that is absolutely necessary
for scientific farming. 1t is his idea
that the number of students in this
course be limited to about 100, and
that they be selected from every sec
ton of South Carolina. There are
many boys in this state who can not
afford to leave their farms for four
year course at Clemson, but many Oh
them can spare nine months from
their work The course will likely
contain animal husbandry, horticul-
ture, agriculture, English, arithmetic
sufficient to work the proportion In
mixing fertilizers and keeping the
books and accounts on the farm.
dairying, ETC. In speaking of the pro-
posed innovation DR.. Riggs said that
colleges in other states had tried
this course with great success, The
farms of South Carolina lose great
many boys when they have finished
four-year course at Clemson. They
have gone so far with their education
that they go into other callings. The
one-year course will solve the ques'
ton, so Dr. Riggs thinks, and he
hopes that trustees will act on his
recommendation that he will make
when the board meets again. Dr.
Riggs has been giving much attention
to the matter.
