Big DEMAND FOR
GRADUATES OF
COLLEGE
AGRICULTURAL INSTITUTION is
TURNING OUT WELL EQUIP
PED STUDENTS

L. j. Cochrane, assistant professor
of commerce and general secretary of
tho Y. M. C. A. at the New Mexico
College of Agricultural and Mechanic
Arts, was in town today in the inter
est of the college In describing the
various advantages offered by the
college to the young people of the
state Mr.. Cochrane said that the state
college is now rated by the United
States government authorities as No.
among the agricultural colleges of
the United States. This high rating
is based partly upon the individual in
struction which the college is able to
give its students because of the small
size of its classes.
Courses are offered not only in agri-
culture but in irrigation, civil, cleo
trical and mechanical engineering, gen.
eral science and domestic science.
The preparatory department also Of
fers elementary courses in agriculture
and mechanics besides the regular col
lege preparatory course. The depart
ment of commerce also has greatly
strengthened its courses and offers
the particular advantage that its stu
dents while taking the business
courses may also enroll in other
classes at the college and receive the
benefit of education and association
under college conditions.
The cost of attending the college is
low as compared with that in most
other institutions, ranging from $3.50
to $500 for all expenses during the
college year.
In discussing the opportunities for
agricultural graduates, Mr.. Cochrane
pointed out that this field is constant
ly widening and that the colleges of
the country are unable to supply the
demand for trained men. Under the
Lever bill just passed, which provides
for a large number of field men and
demonstrators, the demand will be
still greater and by some it is conf
dently predicted that in a short time
there will be two jobs for every grad
cete in agriculture.
That the moral life of the students
will be well cared for is guaranteed |
BY the Y. NJ. c. A, which has the
only building for students from the
Kansas border to the Tsountain dis
rict.
The building is provided with dor
nitory accommodations, reading
'ocms, game and lounging rooms, and
S a social center for the students.
Mr.. Cochrane expects to be here un-
ii tomorrow noon, when he will leave
or the college.
