NECESSARY \ FOR ALL YOUNG
Sg FOLKS TO ATTEND SCHOOL

iisl- -
Y More students left college early this
spring than remained to the end of the
term. They probably all had work
to do, but next fall it is hoped all
those who can will return. President
Kroeze, Of the Jamestown college who
gave the commencement address here
last Friday spoke about how neces-
sary it was for every boy and girl to
be in school, at least until they are II.
In. a letter sent to the students and
alumni. of the Agricultural college at
Fargo, President Ladd says: :.
" Let us not make the mistake Of
Europe at the beginning of the
War and later like their in
stitutions find our colleges striped Of
students and of men preparing for in
dustrial lines of work. Let us keep
the ranks filled. Every young man
below the age of conscription, 21
years, and those not recommended for
special service, should, IL possible, at
tend some school and prepare for the
future. New responsibilities are to
rest upon you at the close of the pres
ent war and you should be in position
to render society, the state and the
nation the most efficient service. We
believe that students pursuing edu-
cational courses, especially agricul-
ture, engineering, chemistry, veteri
nary and in the industrial or voca.
tional courses of study, will be much
in demand, and will, by continuing
their courses of study, be rendering
service fully as valuable and efficient
as If they were enrolled in military
service at this time. :'.-
The future development of our coun.
try demands we'll trained men, and it
is our duty to sacrifice, IL need be, to
prepare ourselves to meet added re.
sponsibilities , which. will rest upon
every young man and woman at the
close of the. war. You are urged,
therefore, to do your share in prepar-
ing for the leadership that must in.
evitably rest upon you in the future,
and in no way can this be better done
than by. securing good education
along the industrial and vocational
lines. sss, .51.::iSff f. s5.i$5 ii$ r. -.
@ Imagine the Yithdrawing of the
student body from our Colleges and
Universities for the four classes from
the Freshman to the Senior. What a
loss to science and progress this would
mean for the next two generations.
Friends, this must never be permitted,
for science needs the nourishment
that can only come from our colleges
SO that she shall be able to furnish
the results demanded of her. Science
at this time is the very soul of our ma
tion's success. Let not your fires
shoulder, else we fail as a nation in
the hour of her greatest trial
There must be engineers, farmers,
chemists, physicians, nurses and me-
chanics to continue the task of re-
search and preparation. Let us, there
fore, prepare to keep our ranks filed.
Let us urge every student not in SER
vice, for the nation, to go forward as
rapidly as possible in his educational
preparation that our country may sue
eeed. Let not the army OF science
and learning lag. but do your duty and
see that good number of students
come to our colleges with the opening
of the fall term that the ranks of SCI
ence be not weakened.
