plete in Detail

The Oklahoma Agricultural and Me-
chanical College has issued the pro-
gram for the coming general short
course in agriculture for farmers
and boys that will be in session from
November 2S. 1921 to February 25. 1922
This u is for the benefit of prac-
teal farmers who are too busy in
spring and autumn seasons to give
a full year Of their time to study.
1t it anticipated that several Car
ter county club boys will attend this
course.
The college this year is offering
a twelve weeks course in agricul-
ture. The course affords an unusual
opportunity for farms, and young men
Of the farm to devote a short time
each winter to learn about the science
OF farming and its practical applica'
ton to the farming business.
New conditions Of climate and soil,
the introduction of modern machinery
and the complete modernization Of
commercial methods generally have
made it impossible to follow old fash
Toned farming schedules and make a
success of the business Of farming. the
course is designed to solve such prob
lens as these.
The course is arranged in terms OIL
four weeks each. Each term Of foul
weeks Is complete in itself. and stu
dents may enter at the beginning Of
any term. it is advisable. however, &c

Qualifications of a Taxi Driver

In a democracy more perhaps
than in some other countries are
we faced with the peril of leveling
our effort down to the average. The
editor must not attempt to write his
best, nor the teacher to teach all
he knows, nor the learned preacher
t put much of his erudition into
his sermon, because he will be
shooting over the heads of his au-
dience. This tends to a dreary and
d~eadening mediocrity.
But this may not be the worst
effect of the adjustment of the ideal
to the average. The danger of it is
that 1t will kill within the man TO
whom larger things are possible the
ambition 20 grow to his W pos
sible limit.
Whether a student should be COM
mended for keeping up with his
class depends upon the student and
upon the class. 1t may be the very
utmost that can reasonably be ex-
pected of him. 1t may be that he
is doing remarkably well to attain
that degree of excellence.
II may be on the other hand that
this is so far below what he could
do if he did his best, n "a h de-
serves stern censure.
No man is justified in accepting
the average of excellence for him
self until he has assured himself
that he is not able to attain any
thing higher.
The average man does well to
reach and maintain the average.

traffic terror has become a model of

low.
But some men have in them that
which, if they recognize it. and
make the most of it. will lift them

Any man who can do that ought
to do 1t. For him there is no real
success short of that.
What are you striving for-the

you sure that is the best you can
do?
Suppose you try to rise above the
