Fargo, y. d. Aug. 3O.-Registra-
ton AZ the North Dakota agricultural
college starts September 16. but the
regular class work does not COM
mence until two days later. Regis

Change in Curriculum.
The only change in the curriculum
this year is the discontinuance Of the
sub-preparatory course. and hereaft-
er no one will be admitted to any
department, except the winter short
course, that has not completed the
eighth grade. This will greatly raise
the standard of the commercial
course.
The prospects for a good football
team are good this fall as most Of
the old team will be back and sew
eral new men are expected. The
work of practice will commence as
soon as school starts. The boys DOR
mitory is being cleaned, repaired and
