history at the college now The school
has literally been born again, and the
fruits OF the new birth are manifest
not only in the students and workers
at the college. but even In the new
dress which the campus Is beginning
to put on. President Bizzell mas Qui
city breathed something OF his own
big spirit into the whole college com.
munity. There has been no scholas.
he bossism. no artificial disciplinary
driving. but Just a human and living
leadership. Here In this college is a
striking example OF the fact that
genuine human.being manhood Is the
%recreating force In education as In all
other work for human uplift. II Is

Miners Administration.
President Harrington was succeed.

former Commissioner OF Agriculture
From this time the attendance In.
creased beyond all proportion to the
capacity Of the college, and at one
time iS3 students were living in tents
The Legislature finally relieved the
situation by appropriations for dor

careful management and cooperation
the college was able to care for al
students who applied for admission
During President Miners regime the

LAND GRANT COLLEGE
RESULTED FROM DEMAND
CONTINUED from Page -

In the plan OF reorganization In
1879 these courses. which In reality
of the old type, gave place TO
we're little more than classical courses
two year courses OF four years
each: IN Agriculture; 90 Mechan'
ice. The freshman year was a com
mon preparation for both courses the
work branching in the sophomore
year. Il was soon found that the
work OF these courses could easily be
covered In three years. and accord
ingly the courses were reduced to
three years each.
The requirements for admission
we're as follows;
The applicant must be sixteen
years of age; must have a fair
knowledge OF the elementary English
branches; must be free from any dis
ease or deformity, and must present
satisfactory testimonials OF good
moral character"
On April /, 1883, President James
resigned and was succeeded by II. IL.
Dlnwiddie. as chairman OF the faculty.
Professor Dinwiddie followed the poll
cies laid down In the administration
OF President James. The various mis-
fortunes Of the early days, and the
criticisms OF various parties over the
State. together with the natural sus-
piclon OF "book.farmlng" on the part
OF a great number OF people oyer the
State, combined to retard the growth
Of the college during this period. In
the session OF lss2-s3 there were en-
rolled 223 students; in iSs7.sS the at
tendance was only PA. The two
courses OF study had been extended
to four years each, following the best
ideas OF other colleges OF this type.
Professor Dinwiddie died December
II. 1887. and was succeeded by Louis
i. McInls as chairman Of the faculty.
The administration OF Professor Me-
Innis extended over a period OF two
and one-half years until the election
Of Gov. l.. S. Ross as president OF the
college In June 1890.
Experimental Work.
The colleges established under the
Morrill, act we're soon confronted with
the necessity OF doing experimental
work and original research in agri'
culture to supplement and extend the
agricultural knowledge OF the times
Bryan daily eagle and pilot. [volume] (Bryan, Tex.) 1909-1918, 1916-04-20

This nod was recognized by eoa-
gress and was met by the eE-
tablishment Of the experiment stations
In an act approved March ?, 1887.
generally known as the Hatch act. In
accordance with this act the board OF
directors OF the college, at a meeting
held January 20. 1883. established the
Texas Experiment Station as a part
of the college.
The administration OF Presiden;
Ross extended from 1880 to his death,
January 3, 1898. Due to his untiring
efforts and welldirected energy the
college made many material improve
ments. The quiet influence OF his
presence and example did much to en-.
dear the college to the people of the
State. Professor Il. L. Whitlock of
the department OF mechanical engi.
neering. acted as president until the
election of l.. l.. Foster to the presi-
dency. In June, 1898.
The session Of 1SsS-99 opened with
a larger attendance than eyer before,
and many students were turned away
for lack Of room to accommodate
them. In fact, il became necessary
for the president to announce through
the papers that no more students
could be accepted. This was the fifth
time that the president of the college
had been colpeled to publish a STINT
ar announcement.
At this time there were four
courses OF study, Of four years each.
leading to the degree OF bachelor Of
science:
/. Course In agriculture.

ing.
4. Course in civil engineering.
The subjects required for admis'
sion to the freshman class included
arithmetic, grammar. Texas history.
United States history and geography.
This is about the equivalent OF the
seventh grade in the public schools
Of today.
The death OF President Foster oc'
Cured in November. 1901. and Prof
r. II. whitlock was again appointed
acting president. Professor Whit
lock served until the election OF DIT
David +. Houston. in June, 1902.
. Entrance Requirements Raised.
Under the administration Of Presi'
dent Houston the entrance require
ments were raised, the courses OF
study broadened and the college
placed on a higher plane generally
The new requirements resulted in a
slight decrease In attendance, but In
the opinion OF the college authorities
this was more than made up by the
higher grade OF work done and the Ell

against the exclusive study OF the
classics at the expense OF the set
ences and mechanic arts. and II Is,
therefore. not surprising that the
college opened as a classical and
mathematical school for academic In
struction rather than a technical
school for the purpose of special train
ing. While not neglee,ing the instruN
ton in agriculture and tue mechanic
arts and studies adjunct to these, the
classical instruction and general cul'
ture OF the institution received the
most attention. In this the institu-
ton but supplied what II thought to
be the demands OF the citizens Of the
State, and was not contrary TO the
general act OF the Federal govern.
ment making the grams and establish
ing the conditions upon which such
schools should be founded. But to
tally ~unprepared for teaching sciences
and agriculture, the multitude Of stu
dents who nocked to the school did
not receive what they came for, dis
satisfaction arose. and the school
proved so nearly a failure that II was
necessary to call a meeting Of the di.
rectors In November. 1879, when the
school was recognized. The Latin
and Greek courses were consolidated
and made subordinate and optional.
while the courses In science and agri-
culture were made more prominent.
The attempt to maintain a system OF
manual labor on the farm also failed
here, as elsewhere in the majority OF
cases where II had been tried.
College H~eorsanIzed.
Under the plan OF reorganization
adopted In 1879. John Garland James
as president. and an entirely new fac
ulty. with two exceptions. Vas placed
In charge OF the institution. From
this time forward the work In agricul'
ture and mechanics vas given the
prominence intended by the founders
Of the institution. and the school soon
regained the confidence OF the people,
Four courses OF study were offered
in the first three years;
/. A course in agriculture.
2. A course In mechanics and engi'
neering.
3. A course In languages and litera'
ture.
4. A course in military tactics.

terest of suffrage, her subject The
Problems of the Home, Mrs w. j.
Bartlett took up some new lines of
argument in favor of the causes and,
at the close of her address, submitted
to quizzing from the audience
A few of the questions asked and
the answers given by Mrs. Bartlett
follow:
If all the women wanted the vote,
they would get it. The speaker an
swered by saying: When an over
wheIming majority of women want
what they ought to have, then they
can have it; extension of suffrage has
never been granted on those terms. No
great reform has been won on those
terms. 1 venture 20 say nine out of
ten want it.
Second argument-The bad woman's
vote to be feared, called their atten-
| ton to the fact that statistics show 80
per cent. in our jails and peniten-
tiaries are memo cause for worry.
When it was proven that the small ma
| jority in our jails-were women, oppo-
| nents said that if women were judged
| as they should be there would be many
more in jails, saying men juries gen.
orally just throw up their hands and
| give the problem up when they are
Gslled upon to deal with a woman
criminal and let her go scot free. The
speaker said if this is true, this kind
of justice is a disgrace to our courts,
when after tho prosecutor has spent
| weeks of time and thousands of dollars
in proving a woman guilty of some
crime, the jury brings in a verdict of
not guilty in the face of overwhelming
evidence to the contrary. Then I say
it is proven that woman jury wont
| correct this evil: women can judge
women just as men Sl1dge men, nor
would women juries be unduly hard on
| their sex.

the evening of May eth with an ex-
ceptionally interesting program
After the opening of the meeting by
the president, troop of Boy Scouts
gave a splendid exhibition Of the prac-
teal first aid work which all boy

demonstrated the proper way in which
to remove a person from a burning
building; then quickly followed the

the forearm, bandagfng the head to
entirely cover the scalp, two methods
of resuscitation from drowning, and
finally the proper treatment of a brok-

SPECIAL TOWN MEETING
New Streets at Industrial Place Ae.
cepted-Voted to Gravel q Section
of Highway Between DayvilIe and
WiIIiamsviIIe.

Only a small number came out Mon
day afternoon for the special town
meeting IN the town hall. Town Clerk
F. T. Preston called the meeting to
order and F. A Jacobs was selected
as chairman.
The first matters in the warming
the acceptance of streets at Industrial
place-were quickly and favorably
disposed of, the town voting to accept
specified highways, including Lewis
Boulevard and Connecticut Mills ave-
nue., in accordance with a survey made
recently under the direction of the Sc
lectmen.
No one appeared to talk for the ac-
ceptance of Grff1ths street. so that
matter was laid on the table.
The meeting accepted the following
report of the special committee rela-
tive to town finance, but vote on the
matter was deferred until the next
special meeting on the third Monday
in June, when the special committee
appointed at Monday afternoons meet
ing to investigate relative to placing
record vaults in the town hall build
ing and providing rooms there for the
town clerk will make its report:
To the Citizens of the Town OF Kill
Iingly:
Your committee appointed at the
annual town meeting October, 1915,
consisting of the treasurer, first Sc
lectman. Milton A Shumway and
Frederick A. Jacobs, to take the whole
matter of borrowing money under
consideration and report to the town
beg leave to report:
Immediate steps were taken by cor
respondence and personal interviews
with prominent fnanciers and it was
the conclusion of your committee thai
| better terms could be made in the
spring towards floating a bond is
sue. Therefore, arrangements were
made with local banking houses tt
take up the floating indebtedness Of
the town Clearing interest at pei
cent? and place the same at 5 "a
These loans being secured by short
| term notes. 1t is evident that this Low
| rate of interest cannot continue long
| but is LIABLE to be advanced upon the
renewal of the notes, and if the Euro
pean war should suddenly cease, i
| is the consensus of opinion among
bankers that interest rates would b.
very much higher.
/ There is no doubt in the minds o
your committee that bonds of thu
town of Killingly, TO the amount o
| SIS. 900, can now be sold advantage
| ously. They believe that IA pc
cent. serial bond issue can be locates
at a premium, as municipal bonds ar,
now in good demand. The town o
Putnam recently sold IA per cent

Sprague last month sold an issue o
$4,000 of per cent. bonds at a pre-
MUM.

berculosis occupied fifth place in the
causes of death among children up u
two years of age, after that the dis
ease increased until at IA years OF age
it occupied first place. The speaker
urged great watchfulneSS OF children
in contact with the disease and inn
mediate medical attention if the slight
est cough developed. The closing was
a strong argument for medical inspec-
ton of schools. Various statistics
were given of cities in Connecticut
which have medical inspection. In
one case these showed that over 1900
cases OF contagious and infectious dis
ease had been excluded from the
schools in one year.
After the address a short business
meeting was held, and this was fol-
lowed by a one-act play entitled The
Man from Brandon, presented by the
pupils of the eighth grade under the
direction of Miss Kent The parts
were exceptionally well taken, and the
audience was greatly amused by the
from the installing Of a guest for an
expected cook, complicated by the APP
pearance of a doctor seeking an in
sane patient. The cast was as fol-
lows: Phil Lester, captain Of Brandon
football team, Stuart Pease; Jere-
miah Decker, NJ. D., from the Kirby
Insane Hospital, Wilbour Lown Dan
Moulton, of Brandon, Miss Janet's ne
phew, Stanton Ballard; Miss Janet
Spencer, a maiden lady, Helen Thomp-
son; Berenice Moulton, Miss Janet's
niece. Elizabeth fWheeloclz; Bertha
Melvin, Berenice's friend, Myrtis
Storm; Anne Miss Janet's maid, VIII
helmina Frost.
At the close Of the program Mrs,
G.. D. Arnold gave an interesting re-
port of the convention of the State
Congress of Mothers and Parents
Teacher Associations, held at New
