lege under the supervision of Seth
Thornton, was one Of the main points
of interest to the visiting editors. Mr..
Thornton with the aid of his assist
ants and students had prepared ex-
hibits of various kinds that were in.
teresting to the visitors who were in
terested in the progress of the art OF
printing.
After the sightseeing trip Saturday
forenoon at the college the entire
party were taken out to Lake Camp
bell in automobiles furnished by the
Rotary Club for the closing picnic.
Lunches were previously prepared in
the college kitchen and placed in pa
per lunch kits, each containing a COM
plete meal with all necessary utensils
for each individual. Hot coffee and
ice cream were served on the picnic
grounds in addition. This Was about
the quickest, neatest and most salts,
factory method of serving a picnic
lunch that we ever saw and it made
a hit with the visitors. The weather
was too cool for swimming so base
ball and volley ball were the chief
sports INDUCED in. After the picnic
the editors viewed with great interest
the ingenious baseball board of L. ID.
Cornells invention upon which he
played the game between Minneapolis
and Kansas City.
The various features of entertain
ment provided, according to resolu
tions adopted by the association,
have been Of a nature to make the
gathering a memorial one, and inspec-
ton of the splendid State college has
increased our respect for the work it
is doing toward the u%pbuilding of the
future by its intensive work in estab-
fishing and promoting practical sci
entifc methods that make for greater
happiness, prosperity and usefulness
in the fields of industry, particularly
agriculture"

fishers of the country and connecting
them with national organizations.
The final resolution which has to
do with the State college school of
printing reads as follows: Pleasure
and profit have been derived by our
inspection Of the State college school
of printing which under it's capable
management has in two years become
an institution of national note, and it
is hereby resolved that we appreciate
the work that has been done by the
school in producing printers we'll found
ed in the fundamentals of the trade
and in bringing out and featuring those
points which elevate cur efforts from
the field of common labor into the
realm of art. In equipping itself to
execute the higher and more elabo-
rate types of printing it has relieved
members Of the craft of the necessity
Of going beyond the borders of the
state for NEEDED assistance"
