Worst Says State Agricultural
College Should Have One Head

Bismarck, Feb. 18.-President John
H. Worst of the North Dakota Agri
cultural college appeared before the
board of regents at it's regular month
Iy meeting at the capital this morn
ing and outlined a plan for the ad
ministration Of the affairs Of the
school which he declared he regarded
as absolutely necessary to maintain
efficiency in the staff and highest
standards at the institution. His rec
concentrations will be discussed by
the members Of the board tomorrow
but it was not intimated today when
a decision in the matter will be forth
coming.
Mr.. Worst called the attention Of
the board to the present situation at
the farm school under the plan in
augurated by the old board of trus-
tees, whereby the experiment station
and the extension department of the
college were put under the same d.
rector, and this director being made
coordinate with, and not subordinate
to the authority Of the president of the
institution. This, President Worst in
sisted, is contrary to the charter of the
college and the provision under which
the school gets it's federal appropria-
tons annually. He urged upon the
board the necessity of restoring the
old administrative order at the college,
that the president be made the head
of the whole institution.
While the members of the board re-
Trained from making any comments on
the suggestions made by Mr.. Worst,
rumor has it this evening that they
are impressed with the case presented
by him and that they are in favor of
one responsible head for the Agricul-
Sural college.
When interviewed relative to the
rumored general shakeup at the col
lege no statements were made except
that none was contemplated at pres ,,
ent. Rumors that TreadWell TWichell
is slated to succeed Worst as presi- !,
dent of the farm school cannot be
positively affirmed nor denied, though !
people close to the board of regents
declare that in their opinion this is ,
not likely.

tion-one of Greatest Compliments
Paid Columbia Divine, \

A petition has been presented to DR..
Charles T. Alexander, pastor of the
First Baptist church, asking him to r@
consider his decision of accepting the
call to the First Baptist church Of
Arcadia, Fla The petition was signed
by almost one hundred per cent of the
congregation of the local church.
When seen by Herald represents
tive, DR.. Alexander stated that nothing
could touch him more than the express
sion Of esteem contained in the peti-
ton; but that ON account of his
health, he thought that he would have
to continue his preparations to leay@
during the latter part of the present
week, He stated that he was deeply
attached to Columbia and to his con
gregation; but that the great oppoE~
tunity for service and the condition Of
his health made his acceptance Of the
call necessity. N
The presentation of the petition ia
one of the greatest compliments ever
made to a Columbia minister. Signed
by practically every member of the
congregation, 1t will doubtless be
cherished by DR.. and Mrs. Alexander
for many years.
1t will be remembered that DR.. Alex.
ander some months ago received the
call to the First Baptist church Of Ar.
cadia, Fla, and that at first he refused
to leave Columbia. The members of
the Florida church were, however, 90
persistent in their efforts to have DIR.
Alexander come down to them that he
finally consented to visit the church.
While there in the latter part of Au-
gust, he accepted the call. The new
chrage carries with it great opportun-
ity for DR.. Alexander, since the church
is one of the largest in Arcadia.
DR.. and Mrs. Alexander have COM
menced packing and expect to leave
on Friday or Saturday. Wednesday
night prayer meeting will be his last
service.

DR.. Clark is especially anxious that
the citizens of the county work the

ing will impress the ifticials more than
a good force of men working on the

Countians who can arrange to do so

good roads rallies in the county and
to have large force filling up the
ruts in the pixies.
DR.. Clark says that the Nashville
pike between Columbia and Spring
Hill should receive the most atten.
tion. He has suggested that the County
ON Monday, get together as many
teams of men as possible to actively
work the Nashville pike.
DR.. Clark says that the road from
Columbia to Mt. Pleasant is in excel.
lent shape, but the presence of large
forces of men on the road would con.
vey to the pathtinders the impression
that the people of the County are &C.
lively behind the better roads project.
He says that after the tourists pass
Mt. Pleasant that still better roads
will be before them, He stated that
the road from Mt Pleasant to the
county line was being worked and
that in Lawrence County an appro.
priation og $135,000 had recently been
made TO rthe improvement of the
roads leading to Lawrenceburg.
DR.. Clark is very anxious that the
citizens take advantage of this oppor.
tunity to show to the visitors how
badly Maury County desires to have
the Jackson Military Highway pass
through the county. He is of the opin.
ion that the time is now or never for
Maury County to mack its great bid
