BOYS VOCATIONAL CONGRESS

The sessions of the Boys Vocation
al Congress opened before a crowded
assembly at the gymnasium Monday
morning. President Atkinson and
Raymond Mountjoy, student president,
welcomed the delegates on behalf of
the college community, and Delos
Thorson, Gallatin High representa-
tive, spoke on behalf of his school.
The respOn : was made by walter
Sanford of Billings high school, who
spoke of the pleasure of the delegates
at being so hOnored by selection to
attend.
Mr.. F. Benson, of the Northern Pa
cific railway, spoke of his pleasure
at seeing the spirit shown by the del
egates, and his delight that the con-
gress was so great a ucces- He
told of the effort Of his company to
do what was in their power to help
with anything that would make for
better agriculture in the districs near
their lines, and said they wished to
cooperate with the state college in
furthering agricultural training. He
urged the young men to learn while
they were on the farm for, in his
words, "no place like the farm teaches
reliance and adherence to duty, the
things that count in life"
Charles H. Clapp, president of the
State University, addressed the meet
ing on Mining Engineering and Ge-
ology," and showed the visitors
where the interest lay in choosing
this for a life work. He urged them
to set a goal toward which to work,
thaugh they changed it many times as
they went further.
DR.. Louis B. Wilson, head of the
Mayo Foundation, Rochester, pointed
out the other side of the medical pro-
fession- "Our work." he told hem,
ais more to keep people well than it
is to cure them when they r sick,
and surgery is only a small part of
the medical profession" He also
told them that much of the work at
the Mayo institution was done with
no other return than the knowledge
gained from the s
Mr.. F. Bentz, Northern Pacific rep
resentative, told of the qualities Of
management that a farmer must pos
Sess. "People say the farmer does
not need an education, yet the truth
of the matter is he must be a master
at economies. We need not fear for
agriculture. 1t is a basic industry
and can stand on its own merits when
given a fair opportunity"
Rev. H. G.. Klemme, of Bozeman,
spoke on the service side Of life, and
asked the delegates to keep that side
in mind az well as the money goal.
He told, in closing, Of Jesus of Nss-
areth, who in a sense failed IN his
work. in that he was crucified, yet ne

ever recorded"

He told the men assembled there
that in his experience with Montana
butter he had found it scored very
low, and stated that he believed the
fault lay with both the producers and
the manufacturers, but laid much of
the blame at the feet of the producer
who failed to take proper care of his
cream before delivering it to the
cream stations and creameries. He
gave figures to show that the low
