The School of Agriculture, of
which w. D. Mayne is principal,
which offers a three years course of
six months each in practical agri-
culture and home economics, will be
gin class work on Tuesday, October

Others schools of agriculture oper-
ated by the University at Morris,

Enrolment of the College of Agri-
culture, Forestry and Home Econom-
les last year was go and the enroll
ment of the School of Agriculture
531. Practically all of the students
of last year in both the college and
the school who were not graduated
or who are intending to carry on
their work this year have already re-
gistered for the coming year. The
expectation is that the total enroll
ment both in the school and college
this year will be about the same as
last year.
The only new course of Importance
offered by the College of Agriculture
is course in the principles involv-
ed in fur farming. The fur farm
industry has increased to such an ex-
tent in the northwest that there has
been a demand for instruction of
this kind and to meet this demand
the College of Agriculture has organ
lied special courses.
There have been on considerable
changes in the faculty personnel this
year. Miss Wylle M. McNeal, head
of the home economics division, is
on a years leave of absence and for
the year Paulina Nickel will be in
charge.
Probably the most interesting new
project will be the study of problems
in agriculture education based upon
survey of the land grant colleges
of the country carried on under the
direction of the bureau of education,
United States Department of Inter-
ior. One of the problems confronting
the Minnesota College of Agriculture
Forestry and Home Economic is to
supply the demand for trained men
in various industrial fields.
Last year the dairy division of the
college had a call for 81 men special
ly trained in the science of dairy
farming and the manufacture of
dairy products. 1t could supply only
five such men. The division of plant
pathology had calls for 16 men and
could supply only IL. In entomology
there was demand for 25 and only
Is could be supplied. In biochemis-
try rs men were wanted and only IL
were available. These and other prob
lens will be taken under considera-
ton in connection with the work of
the coming year.
