' i f- N--1 - z x Recent years lhave witnessed a development in the Work of Agricultural Colleges that has hardly had any educational parallel in many years. Founded on congressional benehcence these insti- tutions from their infancy struggled for recogni- tion not only educationally, but from those whom they were intended to serve. Some few years back no science of Agriculture existed, and among those who practice-d ufarmin, there was a deep rooted conviction that four years spent in study would unmake rather than make farmers. As soon as the colleges recognized the fact that util- ity was no bar to efficient training they began to win over the farmer to more scientihc means. Be- cause a subject was useful, it was no sign that it could not serve as a medium of in-struction. This f' idea is now so generally recognized, that it may Dean Hillis be said to permeate the agricultural education of this country. Thus while 'agriculturaleducation has been founded on 'tlhe basis of attempting to train for efficient service, yet it is more anld more utilizinfg the funndamental scien-ces, not only the natural, but the economic as well.
