fine SCHOOL

$50 many people fail to recognize
that the state of Idaho has made
double provision for high school
graduates wishing to continue their
studies" stated President G. II.
Frazier, OF the Idaho Technical In
stitute in an interview given I'm
Pocatello last Saturday. En-
tirely aside from the normal schools
which are maintained in the state,
there have been provided the State
University and the Idaho Technical
ties" continued the Techs execu-
tive his statements stressing the
equality Of the two institutions, SO
far as Freshman and Sophomore col
lege work is concerned.
From the facts enumerated In the
interview with President Frazier, 1t
would seem to be entirely unneeessa-
ry for any ambitious young person in
southern Idaho to so farther than
Pocatello In order to start his uni
Iversity work. The same courses are
offered exactly as are offered at the
University of Idaho, with the excep-
tion of forestry. THE Tech offers
an excellent course in pharmacy
which is not offered on the state uni
versity curriculum" stated Presi-
dent Frazier. ii
