AUGUST SHOWS CONSIDER
.RIE IMPROVEMENT IN CITY
FINANCES.

City Treasurer Clark has just is
sued his financial report for the
month of August, which shows sew
oral interesting facts concerning the
financial condition as compared with
preyious years. In August of 1910
there were warrants outstanding
against the general fund to the
amount of $15,937.35, while for Aug
ust of this year the report shows that
amount reduced to $14,59795. In
August of last year there were war

SCORES OF INQUIRIES FROM
PROSPECTIVE STUDENTS BE-
SPEAK BANNER YEAR FOR THE
INSTITUTION.

That w. S. C.'s banner year will
be 1911-12 is evidenced by scores of
inquiries from prospective students
from all parts of the Pacific North
west, the. total for the past summer
exceeding by at least 40 per cent the
inquiry record of any previous year
in the history of the college.
In these letters received from
young men and women from many
different regions, several interesting
things are noted. One is the sudden
and unprecedented increase in the in
quiries from young women desiring
to take work in domestic economy
the science of household manage
ment and home-making. With such
inquiries often are coupled inquiries
for courses in music, languages, or
English language or literature.
There will be this year if the indi-
cations of the past summers cores
pondence are even partly fulfilled, an
increase of at least 0 per cent in the
number of young women enrolled at
the college.
Another interesting phase of the
college correspondence is that from
teachers-many persons who are al
ready teaching, but who desire to fit
themselves for teaching Industrial
subjects, such as manual arts, domes-
tic economy and the practical scien-
ces of agricultural horticulture, and
related ones.
The above mentioned phases of the
college correspondence are signifi-
can't for they are indicative of a
widespread interest in industrial edu-
cation, brought about probably by
such recent propaganda as that OF
the Country Life Commission, and
other organizations of similar pur-
pose, the general result sought being
to make more efficient the efforts OF
the industrial classes, to better coun.
try life, and to get more people into
the business of home-making and
making earning a living a thorough
practical and useful effort.
Faculty Members Arrive
With the opening of college two
weeks away, newly engaged faculty
members are making their appearance
ance, and others are returning from
summer vacations for work. DR.
Paul ]. White, who succeeds Profes.
sor Leonard Hegnauer as professor
of agronomy, arrived few days ago
and is now getting line on his work
preparatory for the opening of col
| lege. Professor Rudolph Weaver
newly employed as professor oil
architecture, will arrive within a few
days. Professor Weaver fills a new
position at the college, namely the
professorship of architecture. He
will also be chief architect of the
college, preparing necessary plans fol-
such buildings as may be erected in
the future. Weaver comes from the
University of Illinois, where he made
plans for their new Memorial hall
and the new 100000 engineering
building, the finest of the kind in the
middle west. He has also planned
buildings for the State College OF
Oklahoma, and other educational in
situations of the east.
The division of forestry, which
heretofore has been AFFILIATED with
the department of horticulture of the
State College, by a recent action OF
the board of regents, has been separ
ated from that department, and head
ed by Professor George L. Clothier
