THE GRAND RAPIDS SCHOOL


An article concerning the new
agricultural school at Grand RAJ
pids, which opened this fall with
but a small number of students,
perhaps due to the uncertainty of
the opening date, was published
in the daily press of the state
recently, the article reading as
follows:
Regents of the Univerity Of Mime
sofa are wrestling with the problem
of new state agricultural school
which has everything but students
The new school at Grand Rapids open
ed Oct. 9 has buildings costing about
5000, 900, good-sized farm and ia
ors, but only thirteen students have
enrolled for the first term. Some new
enrolment is hoped for in the winter
term, which opens Jan. IA.
Regents will lay the facts before
the legislature for action, with the
statement that a larger maintenance
appropriation will be necessary here
after if the school is to be continued
since there is little revenue in sight
from students fees. The Legislature
allowed $4,000 for maintenance fol-
this the first school year.
The Grand Rapids school is the
result of persistent pounding on the
legislature by representatives from
that district, Senator A. l.. Thwins
and Representative George A. Her.

ment station there for number Of
years. Finally, in 1921, the legisla.
ture created new branch school Of
agriculture. In 1923 it made the
first appropriation of $4,000 for 6
main building. In 1925 the legis.
lature allowed 100000 for dor.
mitory and dining hall. The build.
ings were finished and the facul
ty assembled, but the expected influ,
of students did not come.
The Grand Rapids school never was
asked for by the board of regents
but was created by the legislature.
eve have never recommended new
school in that section of the state"
Fred B. Snyder, president of the board
said today.
The Grand Rapids experience is ex
pected to prove a damper on move
ments for new branch schools al
other points. Two years ago the
Legislature created another such
school at Duluth. but Governor
Christianson vetoed the bill. There
also has been agitation for schoo
| at Waseca, where there now is al
experiment station.
The editor of the Herald-Re-
view at Grand Rapids, who Sin
| close touch with the situation,
the new school being right in
his neighborhood, wrote a reply
to the article appearing in the
Minneapolis Journal as follows:

T was a strange Pathways that
strobe into the room upon the
instant of unbarring. His boots
Il were thick with dust. his clothes
creased and stained with the dirt
or the goods train, his face lined with
the Crime of travelling, set in cold
anger. One glance round the room
showed him that it held only them

Where is she?" he demanded

gently. she came here three hours

fright. She had scarcely strength to
speak. Whatever has happened-and
I know nothing OF the matter as yet
for PHYS sake let the girl have rest
for awhile. 1t would be sheer cruelty
to wake her to fresh worry just now"
She can come back to the camp
and rest there"
A score of unanswerable questions
had thronged through his mind dur
ing those weary hours of travelling.
And now, finding that Richenda really
was within his reach, there came a
duh rage that she should have dared
to treat him so, TO leave him without
a word of explanation-with
chance to make a statement of his
case, to go SO silently, to make her
way these miles across the widest
country and to throw herself upon
the protection of a man who was al

she said duly.
Richenda, dear ~. you don't

Brodie, drawn back a yard or two
behind them, was a silent onlooker,
something of a revelation coming to
MIN. This man loved her, that was
clear. Whatever he had done in the
past 1t was apparent in the pleading
words that came now from his very
heart that Richenda's Influence,
through the love he bore her, would
have done much to steer him into
clearer waters.
Il would have told you, Richenda-
