Prosser of Dunwoody Institute, Minneapolis, as the firstl great step in the success of an idea which promises to be a model for all agricul- tura states. By the erection of this building which is entirely devoted to rooms, material, and equipment for training in industrial trades, North Dakota takes the lead among agricul- tural states in practical education designed to coordinate, manual, and mental skill for the better service of industry and agriculture. The dedication of a large building to this type of training represents the addition of a practical and necessary idea to the public educational system of the West. . The State School of Science has seven large buildings including gymnasium and dormitory. Its organization consists of a Junior College and Trade School, each func- tioning separately, but cooperating in such a way as to give opportunity to the high school graduate to learn a profit-bringing trade and at the same time acquire two years of college credit. Students desiring trade work alone are admitted without regard to educational requirements. 1928 B H S 1928 Thirteen

The school was provided for by the Constitution adopted in 1889 but was not established until 1906. The school not only offers pre-forestry work, but gives two years of college work in Arts, Home Economics and Agriculture. It is fully accredited by the educa- tional institutions of the state as well as by the Universities of Minnesota and Montana, which would mean practically any Universtiy in the middle west. The graduates are required to have ninety quarter hours of 'credit in the proper subjects, as well as ninety honor points. In connection with the school is the State Forest Nursery, which was provided for by the legislature of 1913. Here are grown thousands of trees for planting on the farms of the state. These are distributed under regulations provided by the State Forester, who is the President of the school. 1928 B HS 1928 Fourteen
