 in Legislation
AGRICULTURE SCHOOL

State SenGfOr-elect C. r. Wood of Phoenix. has received from Presi- dent Wilde of the University of Ari- zona. at Tucson. an eNplanatdry let ter. in which school matters of in- terest 70 the members Of the com ing legislature are 10 be found The letter in full is as follows:
 January ec, 1912 Hon. C. B Wood. Phoenix. Ariz. Dear Mir WoOd-When you were in Tucson you inquired whether we were spending the proceeds of the federal funds in exact accordance with the law. l assured you that we were. l thing your impression was that the bulk Of this money would go for agriculture. am now quot ing this letter from the official statement of the department of the interior. bureau of education, dated Washington. n. c. November 29, 1900:
 The funds are to be applied only 10 instruction in agriculture. the me chanic arts, the English language. and the various branches of mathe- matical. physical natural and eco homie science. with special refer. ence to their applications in the in dustries Of life. and to the facilities for such instruction. lt is held that this language authorizes the pur- chase from this money of apparatus, machinery, text books. reference books, stock and material used in instruction, or for the purposes of illustration in connection with any of the branches enumerated, and the payment of the salaries of instruc- tors in said branches only"
 To make still clearer to you the ways in which the money may be used I quote further from the same document, which asks that We report to them the uses of the money ac- cording 10 the following schedule: "Schedule A.-instruction in AgrL
 culture.
 Agriculture. horticulture. forestry, agronomy. animal husbandry, dairy ing, veterinary science, poultry in dustry, apiculture.
 Schedule B-lnstruction In Mechanic
 Arts.

Schedule c--instruetion in English

 Schedule F-Instruction in Economic
 Sciences

 I think that this will answer your question fully. I may add for your lGILEtT luAOl A-Asit NlAN dAi4ONtAt used from the federal funds last year for agriculture instruction was s4500; apparatus, y3400; library, s100: total. sS000.
 Considering the newness of this work at the institution this was a disproportionately large amount Of the total appropriation. We are en- deayoring to keep the law, not sim ply in its letter. but also in its spirit.
 Yours faithfully,
 4. II. WILDE, Pres.
 Dear Senator WoOd-it should not be forgotten that s30,OOO of what the national government gives us is ap- propriated specifically for the work of the experimental station. This leaves $50,O0O for the general work of the university in the departments enumerated above. So that from all the government funds agriculture gets at our university s30.000. plus the sS,O0O mentioned at the top Of this sheet. A. II. W.
