RICHARDS
TO DLCkEY
COUNTY

Announcement has been made by
Thomas Copper, that w. B. Richards,
for the past nine years professor Of
animal husbandry at the North Dako-
ia Agricultural college. is to have
charge of the work of the better farm
ing section Of the North Dakota Ex-
pertinent station in Dickey county.
The Forum announced some time ago
that Professor Richards had resigned
as head of the department Of animal
husbandry at the A. G. and predicted
that he would enter the work of theS
Better Farming movement as one of
the field agents.
At the last meeting Of the board of
trustees, Professor Richards resigna-
tion was formally excepted to take eff
feet Feb. 1 and yesterday he was named
field agent for Dickey county. His
successor at the agricultural college
has not yet been named.
The day he quits the work that he
has SO successfully carried on for the
past nine years at the agricultural
college he will begin his new duties
In Dickey county. The commissioners
Of that county have made the neces-
sary appropriation to carry on the
work and all arrangements are COM
plete for Professor Richards to begin
his new work at once.
1t has not yet been definitely decid-
ed in what city Professor Richards will
locate, but it will undoubtedly be eth
er Oakes or ElIendale.
The, work that, Professor Richards
will do will be of the same character
as that carried on by the other field
agents, throughout the state. He will
pay special attention to the growing
of y better corn, alfalfa, crop rotation
and live stock.
That section of North Dakota is we'll
adapted&to live Stock and the farmers
there are becoming greatly interested
in this phase Of diversified farming
In Professor. Richards they have I'm :
doubtedly the. best live stock man in
the state, and he. is E.also conversant
with all other phases of modern farm
ing methods. st4.s
/. The better farming section now has
eight men. in the southeastern part of
thefstate. Their work is giving splen-!
did results and this addition to the
force will give that part Of the state
a. high average, in the calibers OF its
best farming experts. 4 n 81
I Professor Richards, by accepting
this position; continues lin close con-
nection with the AGRICULTURAL college
and tits probable that after his health
Is recuperated he will once more be-
come "a memberaa Of the ollege faculty.

EXPEL THE
SCHOLAR
WHOFAILS

New Haven, an. 27.-A strong plea
for higher scholarship requirements in
college is made oy The Yale Daily
News, advocating the prompt expuI-
sion from college of every student who
fails in his studies. The editorial de-
clared in part:
"In the treatment Of the deficient,
Yale shows too much mercy. The
passing mark is within reach of ev-
erybody not publicly confined. 1t is
ridiculously low. Yet, for not achiev-
ing it. either through Indifference or
superhuman dullness, nobody is ever
expelled. The dregs merely gravitate.
Expulsion of the dregs might have a
.beneficient effect on those nearing that
level''
