LARGELY TO improving conditions of living among the
aIexicans Public improvements should be fairly DIS
tributed among them they should be insured decent
housing and afforded all the elementary facilities OF
decent and normal community life Their residence sec
oBs should protected against the invasion Of saloons
and resorts Of crime CT immortality.
In fine, these people should be given TAR chance
The Herald making this plea is willing to leave aside,
for the moment all considerations other than that Of
the self interest of the community whole, and
especially of the English speaking population Better
care for the development and normal existence Of the
dominant element, numerically in the population viii
pay richly dollars and cents IN health happiness, and
prosperity.
So far The Herald has spoken only Of what should
be done with respect to the ecan" population itself,
viousy there is one other and very important direction
of work to which should apply ourselves. That IS,
we should encourage in every possible way the coming
in Of overwhelming numbers Of desirable people from
the States. By strongly encouraging the immigration OF
high class English speaking Americans we can turn the
scale more and offset the possible III effects Of too
great pTeponderance Of Mexcans" IN the population
The Herald firmly believes that the Mezcsns resident
among US be developed into highly valuable highly
productive and very desirable element Of the permanent
population But nothing take the place Of strongly
dominant American" element Of quite different stock
To promote this sort Of immigration should be
slant endeavor
To this end It is necessary that the appropriation
for the publicity and immigration work Of the chamber
of shall not be stinted Every dollar spent
through this channel is certain to return at least SO
to the city within the year, money besides working
directly for the permanent increase Of the most de-
sirable population Of city and county.

knocking out the rug dust

in several Of the leading agricultural
colleges. The need for advanced sys.
tematic courses in agricultural scienc
es is therefore largely provided for,
however, there is need fo~ an insti-
tuition such as the graduate school o,
agriculture which furnishes short
many-sided conferential attacks upon
fundamental and special problems Of
| agriculture by the leading specialists
both in the United States and abroad.
The school is in session for four
weeks; during that time courses are
given on various phases of advanced
agricultural science, agricultural econ
omics, and rural sociology. Each
course consists of 20 lectures and
% seminars. Each course is usually
divided into four distinct parts given
in the four different weeks of the
school and each by specialist in
his subject. Many prominent and
learned men have been members of
the faculties; Zuntz, Hall, Won Tschar-
max, Ewart Russell, Marshall and
Darbishire, from European countries,
have been on faculties in past years,
Mendel, McDougal. Castle, Duggar,
Riddle. sherman, Carver, East and
Harris, from institutions not primar.
lily agricultural in purpose, have been
included also. In addition to these,
nearly all of the men in agricultural
colleges in the United States known
as specialists on various Ihases Of
agricultural work have taken part
The graduate school brings together
at each session from 100 to POO men
and women from the faculties of the
agricultural colleges, from experiment
stations, and agricultural and rural
workers of various kind, for four
weeks of very serious discussion with
each other and with the special lectur.
ers on problems connected with ad.
ygrced work in agriculture. 1t has
proved to be a valuable institution
for exchange of advanced thought in
these fields and will probably hold
its place for many years 10 come in
spite of the addition of systematic
agricultural graduate courses in regu-
lar institutions.
The graduate school is Under the
immediate charge of the committee
on graduate study of the Association
OF American Agricultural Colleges and
Experiment stations. DR.. A. c. True,
director of the states relations ser.
wee of the L. s. department of agri-
culture has acted as dean since its
establishment. The first session was
held at the Ohio State University in
1902; other sessions have Teen held
at the University of Illinois 1906,
Cornell University G90S), Iowa State
College Q91O), michigan Agricultural
College G912D, University of Missouri
G91D. The seventh session will be
held at the Massachusetts Agricultural
College from July 3 to 2S, 1916. The
three courses to be emphasized are
1) Factors of growth of plants and
animals;
(2) Fundamental problems of inten.
sive agriculture, including agronomy,
horticulture, and dairy husbandry;
(3) Agricultural economics and ru-
raj sociology.
This latter course is to be espec-
tally emphasized; in addition to the
courses given in the graduate school
are others given in the regular sum
ner school conducted by the college.
