THE GLEANER 9 not tolerate the transient in so far as the responsible position is con- cerned. Furthermore, almost all businesses are carried on on such a large scale to-day, that the specialist is gradually substituting the all-round man. Hence the expediency or feasibility of keeping within the bounds of the agricultural Held, and also of adhering to that certain phase of farming of which you have made a specialty, by virtue of that quality which ex-presidentLRoosevelt has so appropriately termed stick-to-it-ism. The time is once more at hand when the National Farm School will again send out the fruit of its student body to uphold and perhaps strengthen its reputation. It has tried its best, in spite of the many adverse circumstances with which it has had to contend, topreparethe coming graduates to cope with the numerous problems with which they will inevitably be confronted. It has offered the student a stairway leading partly up the mountain of life, and those who are now reaching the head of the flight will find the ascent from then on, more difficult. At this point, they will encounter innumerable paths, and they will doubtlessly direct their courses in accordance with their respective ambitions. Let us hope that they be not enticed into those paths of ill- repute, and that their choice should lead them to the zenith of their aspirations. Truly, it is with sad hearts that we are compelled to allow the departure of our friends, from whom some of us have hitherto been inseparable. We will surely miss them at the table, classes, and frater- nal gatherings. But let this separation not cause the gradual wearing away of the friendly ties that bind us. On the contrary, do all in your power to make the ties become more astringent. Brace up and serve as models to the incoming element, not only in name but in spirit. As a few parting words to the graduates, we all hope that they have taken advantage of the efforts of all those connected with the institution, to equip them well for the struggle in which they are about to participate, and we wish them success in all their undertakings. The graduating class this March is the largest in the history of the Farm School. This is directly due to the recent innovation in the cur- riculum, one year having been dropped. Q L-1'

This quotation, one of the many precepts contained in the Bible, should be Well heeded by all the prospective graduates, for it is the striving towards the enforcement of such a motto that will insure the attainment of success. Inasmuch as We are all imbued more or less with this one specific phase or line of work, agriculture, it would be for our own benefit as Well as tor society in general, to cling to that line.

LITERARY SOCIETY With great pleasure do the members of the Literary Society look back on the last season's work. The officers especially have felt great satisfaction in finding that their endeavors have borne fruit. The Literary Society of the National Farm School was organized February 12, 1912. The first officers elected Were Mr. Fereshetian, President, L. W. Crohn, Vice President, and A. L. Kravet, Secretary and Treasurer. I. Sobol was appointed Chairman of Program Com- mittee, who was afterward appointed at the next election. Their administration was quite successful. During their term in office, four open meetings were held, among which were the Oratorical Contest and the Campers' Open Meeting. In the new election held October 18th, 1912, L. W. Crohn was chosen President, I. Sobol, Vice Presidentg and A. L. Kravet was re-elected Secretary and Treasurer. During this term a public debate was held between Mr. Crohn and Mr. Marcus on the Roosevelt Question, which was very interesting and entertaining. Mr. I. Sobol, as Chairman of the Program Committee, succeeded in bringing down a few prominent men to address us. On November 30th, Professor Wm. H. Bishop spoke on his Western trip, giving us a vivid description of the agricultural industries in the West, which we found both enjoyable and edifying. On December 14th, we had the honor of having Professor Scott Nearing, of the University of Pennsylvania, speak to us on the Sportsmanship of Life. We all enjoyed his address very much and found it also very impressive. Febru- ary 1st, 1913, brought us Mr. Robert D. Work, of Philadelphia, who addressed us on a religious topic which proved very interesting and instructive. The end of the year's work finds .is much more developed in public' speaking, besides gaining very much mentally and morally by the Various speakers during the regular and open meetings. The graduating members keenly feel the separation from the society, in which activities they have participated very much. However, they look forward to the new regime for progress in the work they have started. A. LEWIS KRAVET, Secretary.
