THE COLLEGE OPENED.
The State Agricultural College Open
For Pupils Of Both Sexes

For Pupils Of Both Sexes
The Bozeman Agricultural college
opened last Monday in the high school
building. There are but few pupils at
present, but others r corresponding
and the prospects are that there will
be about 20 before the end Of this
term.
The advantages which the Agricul-
tural college possesses over the Other
state institutions from a financial
point Of view are becoming apparent.
With the imprObability, as yet, Of OBJ
tanning at present any state aid for
the newly created institutions, the
assurance Of $4,000 from the general
government this year for the college
and $4,000 next year for it and the
experiment station make the friends
of the college pretty well satisfied
to wait for the building as long as
they will in any case have funds to
purchase necessary apparatus and
keep the college running.
The agricultural college is cOmpar-
atively a new factor in American edu-
caticn, occupying a field different
from that Of any other educational in
stitution. 1t is a result Of the ten
dency Of the age toward industrial
and practical education, which not
only touches the theory but leads the
student to fix it for himself by in
vestigation and experiments. The
speciality Of the college is agricul-
ture, yet attention is given to all the
principal branches of higher educa-
ton, the aim being to discipline mind
and character and to impart general
information as the foundation Of the
special instruction.
Not much attention is paid to the
classics, but a thorough drill in Eng
fish is prominent in all classes. In
the agricultural course there is thor
Ough drill in chemistry, botany, and
physics. and in the mechanical course
IN mathematics. instruction is also
! given in French and German. Chem
istry is taught by special analysis
which teaches the composition Of
substances and the changes which
they undergo. In botany special ex-
periments viii probably be made with
varieties Of grasses to ascertain their
value for feeding purposes and che
conditions Of soil best adapted "a
their successful growth.
MineralOlOgy, geology, zoology, en-
tomOlogy, climatology, tillage, fer.
t~ilizers, horticulture, feeding Of ami
mails, deirying, agricultural engineer

Stage Reception to
Methodist Minister

The HalloWell Methodist church
has appreciated fully the splendid
service Rev. r. II. Moyle has given
them during the past yeaw and some
time before the annual conference
extended to him a cordial invitation
to return. When the list of appoint
ees showed that the wishes of the
local church had been granted and
that Mr.. and Mrs. Moyle were to
return, the church people decided to
take some practical means of show
ing their feeling in the matter
AT the close of the regular prayer
meeting last evening in the yestries
of the church an informal reception
was staged for Mr.. and Mrs Moyle.
pleasing program was presented,
and then a thank offering brought
forward of cash and pledges sufficient
to wipe out all Indebtedness upon
the church. These were presented
at this time. Surely Mr.. Moyle could
begin his second year of service here
under no happier auspices than
these. And he can be in no doubt
of the feeling that his parishioners
entertain for him and his wife
After program and presentation
there was an opportunity for social
intercourse. Refreshments of ice
cream and cake were served. There
was an excellent attendance and the
spirit and interest shown certainly
augur well for the coming year.

Wednesday morning at Gardiner High

So much of late has been written
about the State school from the point
OF view of the professional social
worker that the local correspondent
felt 1mpelled to climb the hill and
chronicle the impressions gained from
the unexpected visit of layman. Once
one is safely up that steep slope he is
impressed with the beauty of the site
and likely to agree with the senti-
ments, if not the language, of the
small girl who called it surely the
"beautifulest place in Maine"
The correspondent accidentally
picked one of the most interesting and
colorful times to visit the institution,
arriving before the afternoon sessions

ADJUSTMENTS
What Makes a Circus? "Ponies," if
You Ask the Children. Lions Cir
cus With us Ioniuht Coliseum

Gus With Us Tonight, Coliseum
Nature took hand in coloring the
little broad backed ponies that form
no small part of the Indoor Circus
at the coliseum tonight, a wonderful
show. Everything in the. show game
must have color, even the animals,
as they go with all ages. Despite the
modernizing. that's applied to attrac-
lions today, the horse still is a great
factor, admired as a browning
achievement after all. In spite of
the act that IA people are with this
attraction, Lions Indoor Circus, the
unequalled Pony Act, and the Flying
Keelers, an act with that death de-
flying leap for life over the audience,
still tops the bill at each and every
show.
The little horses do everything but
talk, CHASING with the clowns, aerial
artists, comedy bicycle riders, j~~
glers and the "irl on the Web" sing
ing upside down. It's an attraction
that puts wrinkles of joy in the
cheeks--some that won't iron out
easily-A show that will stir up more
excitement with both grown-ups and
youngsters 90 than anything of its
kind along the line. Every worn and
tired mother should dig out the ola
bonnet, if she hasn't a new one, and
take the little ones by the hand lead
them to the big Coliseum Saturday
afternoon where at $50 sharp, they
will have the time of their young
lives. Everything in the show line
must be as far apart from the ordin-
airy as possible-must be of great in
terest to women and children
hence this wonderful Indoor Circus,
an attraction with everything but
the parade. Seats reserved for
every performance but the matinee,
so order early and avoid that mill
ing in the lobby. Phone 100. Orches
ira seats soc; balcony. S5c. Special
prices for the matinee on Saturday
