 . Agricultural Department Professor Brown HE Agricultural course is organized along vocational lines. However, the student is given enough other studies to give the cultural development to enable him to meet his fellows on an equality, either in the business or social VO? j worlds. The department i not sa large but that a student can be given a great deal of personal attention and bis individuality considered and developed. Work is given in text books, supplemented by laboratory and field work. In the laboratory, agricultural objects are closely and carefully studied. Held trips are taken to various farms to study their systems of operation and the reason for their success or failure. In this way the course is made as valuable as possible. There is no course taught in the Science School that is of more practical value to the average North Dakota boy than the course in Agriculture. I'AGK NINKTKKN

Ill. Home Economics Department Professor Forkner Assistant Professor Coffing WO and ten years ago, our State Board of Regents brought forth in our | | School a new department, conceived by the idea, and dedicated to the prop- osition that all girls should be good homemakers. Then we were engaged in great discussion whether that department or any department so conceived and so dedicated could long endure. We are met after twelve years of successful experience. We have come to dedicate a portion of this book in appreciation of home-making education. It is altogether lining and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense we cannot estimate its value to the individual, we cannot measure its worth to the community, we cannot forctclll the extent of its influence on the homes of tomorrow. The former students, homemakers or otherwise, have proved its worth far above our poor power to add or detract. The girls may little note nor long remember what we tench here but they can never forget the school influence. It is for us rather to be dedicated to the unfinished work which they who realized the importance of good homes to the nation, have thus far so nobly advanced. It is for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from this knowledge we take increased devotion to that phase of education which has long been overlooked or underestimated, that we here highly resolve that girls so educated shall not have been Educated in vain and that this type of training shall have a place of greater importance in the field of learning and that education of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
