Criticising Agricultural Colleges

A rather thorough criticism Of agricultural colleges
generally was delivered few days ago by the presi-
dent of one of them by E. G. Peterson, head OF the
Utah Agricultural college who, although devoted to
the work of instruction in farming, IS nevertheless not
blinded to the faults of that instruction at present
given.
Prof Peterson's indictment Of the agricultural col
Ieges IS that young men attending them imbibe the
"snobbery of learning returning 10 their homes 10
Join the golf club and live that the girls are
taught much about lead compounds but nothing about
ifehood and motherhood that the schools teach too
much chemistry and not enough practical farming.
It has sometimes been a matter of complaint that
the agricultural colleges tend to produce scientists
rather than farmers. But, IN the colleges IN
nearly everything else, varies with the ind
vidual It depends on what the boy has in him East

Graduates Of the agricultural colleges Of New Mexico
and Arizona developing, by pump irrigation, desert
which no one IN the past has way TO turn into
farms.
Heretofore, the number of graduates from agrcul-
tural colleges has been small enough in comparison
with the number of students seeking farm education
that they have been much in demand as instructors
For that reason, many Of the best equipped young
men have not gone back to the farm but have taken
chairs in agricultural colleges teach other young
people.
