About Educational Institu
tionsNew Farm
School.
Retiring Governor Savage has the
following to nay concerning the uni
versity In hlfl last message to the state
legislature:
"Tho Btate unlverBity, which is the
oap-Bhcaf and main pillar to our splen
did educational system, Bhould receive
auch consideration at your hands as
t so important an Institution of learn
ing deserves. This Institution Is main
tained at great expense to the people,
' yet the stream of Intelligence which
continually flowB from It into the
world of science, art and industry,
raising tho general standard of educa
tion and better equipping all for lives
of success and usefulness, justifies gen
erous consideration of its needs. It
would be in keeping with good busi
ness methods for your hqnorable body
to Investigate fully Into the manage
ment and needs of this institution bo
foro making an appropriation for its
maintenance with the end In view of
oorrecUng abuses. If any there be, in
the salaried employes, and of practic
ing consistent economy. 1 have had
occasion to visit the university several
times in my official capacity during
the last two years, and It afTords me
much pleasure to bear testimony to the
efficiency of Chancellor Andrews as re
flected by tho educational achieve
ments of that institution during his in
Bumbency." GOVERNOR MICKEY'S IDEAS
Governor Mickey made the following
statement in his inaugural message
aoncernlng educational interests or t Instate-
"Tho people of Nebraska are justly
proud of their educational institutions
The foundations or these interests
have been laid broad and deep and may
be properly regarded as the corner
stones of that degree or eminence and
distinction which the state now en
joys. No other part ol our country
is blessed with so small a per cent of
illiteracy or has bo much to show, In
proportion to population, in the way
of good school buildings, fine equip
ments and specially fitted instructors. .
At the head of these interests stands
the state university with it numerous
departments, closely seconded by the
stato normal.
1 "The institutions have done, and are
doing, for tho stato a work greater
than can bo estimated, the Influence of
which will be felt throughout all time.
Theso interests should receive the
careful attention of your body and
Buch appropriations should be made as
will insure the continuance of their
beneficent work on a scale comrnen
Burato with the state's development."
Governor Mickey recommended to
the legislature also the establishment
of an experimental farm In the west-
trol or the university, and to be known
as an adjunct of the same He Hhows
carefully how the benefits of such a
farm would be Immensely valuable to
the slate in connection with the uni
versity farm now existing enst of the
city He Htates that, "the good re
sults derived from the experimental
farm are obvlouB to all who keep pace
with the trend of events."
These farm Institutions, ho points
out, give cnreful and elnborate tests of
agricultural and horticultural products
of the slate The new school would
be for th purpose f gilng special at
tention to tests In agriculture, Btock
inlslng and horticulture, under the
iie Hilarities of soil and the cllmnt"
