The Supremacy Of Verse.

Gray's "Elegy" was not much es-
teemed by its author. who In one Of
his letters said that the public would
have received 1t as well had It been
written in prose The poet was a
poor critic. for the third line of the
first stanza achieves the supremacy OF
verse. There can scarcely be another
to equal 1t in English literature, "The
plowman homeward plods his weary
way" Now. that line Is such SUI
preme verse that you may recite 1t
this way and that and 1t is still as
good as ever:
The weary plowman homeward plods his
way.
Homeward the weary plowman plods his
way.
Weary, the plowman homeward plods his
way.
The plowman weary. plods his homeward
way.
Homeward the plowman plods his weary
way.
The plowmsn plods his weary homeward
way.
And so on. But II II is not poetry II
is the supremacy OF verse.-London
Chronicle.

COLONEL M|LNER
REFUTEs ISLANDERS
Gives the Facts and Figures Relative
to Work of Graduates of
A. and M. College.

There seems to be a burning desire
at and near the capital OF Texas to
know just what the graduates of the
Agricultural and Mechanical College
are doing. The public has right and
ought to know all the facts in the case.
One dealer in second or third-hand
defamation says: The statement has
been made that not 10 per cent of the
students who graduate in agriculture
at the college ever return to the
farm" That statement" is about as
near the truth as many others which
have been handed out by persons who
speak and write without investigation
or any very great regard for accuracy.
1t should be stated in this connec-
ton that if our antagonists would take
half the pains, while searching our
records and history, to ascertain the
truth as they do to locate a fault or
to discover scandal, they would sub
serve higher purpose and reflect
more credit upon the campaign for
higher education"
Our official records show that 70
per cent of our agricultural grad ,ates
are actually engaged in farming. The
Statement" makers could have easily
obtained this fact by writing to the
college registrar and thereby saved
false impression which is hard to cor
rect. During the last several years
more than 80 per cent of our agricul-
tural graduates have returned to the
farms. 1t should be understood that
only of late years has agriculture had
a prominent place in any agricultural
college in the country. Not until ten
years ago did the number taking agri-
culture at Cornell reach one hundred
students. During the past five years
the number of students taking agricul-
ture at this college has increased 575.5
per cent. The charge that 1.-The weak
students who can not enter the en-
gineering course are crowded into
agriculture" would not be made by
one whose mental discipline was such
as to produce love for correct state
ments. Young men whose minds are
of the first order and whose prepara-
ton is not inferior to the brightest
engineers are wanting to know the
abstruce science of agriculture. All
sensible people realize that the
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1913-03-27

sciences underlying agriculture are a
difficult to master as law, medicin
or theology THE starving scayenger
of the learned professions" woul
make poor progress in the science o
agriculture. Under the congenial at
mosphere of this school our engineer
| ing and agricultural students move IL
perfect harmony, each one recognizing
that the other is equal mentally, so
cially, and every other way. They
recognize that their vocations in life
are interdependent, and such a thing
as caste is unknown among them. In
every way the corps of cadets is dem
ocratic through and through, and
merit is the test of a mans worth.
Of our mechanical engineers, 69.1
per cent are engaged in the business
OF mechanical engineering; S1.3 OF the
civil engineers, 94.5 of the electrical
engineers. and S7.3 of the architec-
tural engineers are following their va
rious professions That they are max
ing good is evidenced by the fact
that they are chosen by the railroads
and other corporations over those from
the other colleges and universities oil
the South. 1t would be interesting if
space would allow it 10 name the long
list of our engineers whose splendid
abilities are recognized in the most
substantial way. 1t might be modest
Nv suggested right here that the more
than thirty years service of Col Ed
Cushing in building railroads in Texas
would furnish a more interestlrI
theme than the libelous thrusts at the
great institution which he and thou
sands of others are proud to call by
the endearing term alma mater. The
very small number of our graduates
who have entered professions other
than those for which they were
trained and educated have reached po-
sitions of distinction and usefulness
in a degree that would reflect credit
upon any institution of learning in the
world. Pink Downs, the banker OF
Temple, renders a service to the agri-
cultural interests of his section of the
State of more real value than ten thou
sand statement" manufacturers. The
Agricultural and Mechanical College is
the mother of only five preachers, and
in the providence OF God the services
of one of them alone, DR.. Mullins, far
exceed the comprehension of man and
can only be measured by eternity. He
has no superior in his church on this
continent, and very few, if any, equals.
Just why God would come down to
the Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege for this great and good man will
no doubt remain mystery to the
of statements"
A short while ago the University OF

Texas wanted a man to go at the head
J of its department of architecture. 1t
! had the world from which to select its
man. 1t wanted a man that it could
put up against the best in the profess
sion-a high and laudable purpose to
be sure. 1t did not have far to go. An
A. and NJ. graduate filled the bill to
the queens taste. l looked around
over the world to get a man to take
his place at the college | was in
formed by the presidents of the great
universities of America that maintain
architectural schools that it would be
most difficult to find a man for the
position; that the best architects were
building houses, not teaching how to
build them Finally, a man was dis
covered in Cleveland, Ohio, at the top
o. his profession who was induced to
accept the place. He is an A. and NJ.
graduate, and so thoroughly accom-
plished in his profession that he has
been elected a member of the Ameri-
can Institute of Architects.
Only 20 of our graduates entered
the profession of law, bankers "a, mer
chants %, and 81 physicians, large
majority of whom have been success
full in marked degree, due in large
measure to the rigid discipline and
wise training received at the A. and
NJ. College. In whatever position they
are found, in the shop, on the ranch,
in the mines, or in the professions,
they are self-assured, dissatisfied with
wornout ideas and things, submissive
to law, men OF the times, deeply in
terested in progress, loyal to principle
and Justice, unfit by temperament, in
education, and occupation to
engage in the pursuits designed by
crafty men to iniure legitimate COM
merce and trade, or to engage in
crusade to destroy a great educational
or the general usefulness
of any class. They have been taught
that the object of knowledge is not
theory but application and utility; not
destruction, but construction. They are
builders of greater and better things.
The main object Of their study and
research is to augment comfort, to
the condition of man and
to develop the material resources of
the country. They are engaged in
building railroads, canals, dams, irriga-
ton plants, spanning the rivers with
bridges, increasing the fertility of the
soil, breeding better domestic animals;
the conveniences of man,
sewer systems, thus ex-
diseases, and in thou
sand other ways improving material
life and enlarging the convenience and
happiness of mankind.

Catch OF Fish Falls Way Off

striking illustration of the extent to
which the herring and shad sources of
food fish supply in the Chesapeake are
being destroyed was made known by
Representative Linthicum on the basis
OF information officially received from DR..
Hugh NJ. Smith, the new federal COM
missioner of fisheries. Mr.. Linthicum
made public memorandum which he had
received from Fish Commissioner Smith,
shown that the catch at a single seine
hauling station on the Virginia shore OF
the Chesapeake dropped to less during the
past two years than was before that
caught in a single days SEEMING
This startling falling off in the shad
and herring catch of the Chesapeake is
due to the devastation wrought by un-
regulated SEEMING of these fish, and it is
to prevent this in the future that Rep
resentative Linthicum has introduced a
bill for federal regulation of seine fish
ing. Mr.. Linthicum intends to press this
bill at the regular session of Congress
when it will be in order under the rules
OF the Democratic caucus. The facts
which he made public are in the form of
a memorandum which Dr.. Smith, the fed
eral fish commissioner, has submitted to
Secretary Redfield, of the Department Of
Commerce, a copy of this data being sent
by DR.. Smith to Mr.. Linthicum.
Here is the memorandum:
I'VE have just received from Neitzey
Brothers, old and experienced fishermen
of the Potomac river, comparative
statement of the catch of shad and her
ring in their haul seine at Ferry Land
ing, Va for period of five years ending
in 1918.
THE figures are so suggestive and so
confirmatory of the position Of the de-
partment that ! think you will be in

from /, 100000 only five years ago to bare

at a single seine hauling station, gives a
fair idea of the extent to which the her
ring of the Chesapeake have been deci-
mated by the fishery methods that have
been in vogue Federal experts assert
that unless these ravages are checked,
