jamestown College President Not In
Favor of Vocational Movement

Jamestown.-Dr. B. H. Kroese, presi.
dent Of jamestown college, is not en-.
thusiastic over what he pleases to
term the present mad movement for
vocational training" In an address at
. meeting at which the question of
securing an agricultural high school
for jamestown was under considera.
ton, the college head made himself
very clear on that point, contending
that the value of education lay in tho
development of the mind and char
acter, and not In the teaching of spe-
cial trades.
President-elect A. @. Crane of the
Minot normal school, who is tho pres
ent superintendent of the jamestown
public schools, has slightly different
view, believing in the establishing Of
the agricultural school,, and strongly
urging such course for Jamestown.
