the close of the time limit as set,
Chairman Syford said there had been
2,725 programs ordered, these by 195
people making an average of fourteen

fARM TERM ENDS
THIRTY-87X MEN TO GRADUATE
FRlbAY EVENING.
Remarkable Growth of School Its Re
lation to the University
Commencement "Program
Friday evorilng, April 26th, the
fifth annual commencement of the
Nebraska School of Agriculture will
tako place in Memorial Hall. A class
of thirty-six young men will rocolvo
certificates and twelve of those wIU
receive commissions in the Nebraska
Notional Guard. This year's class
ralseB the total number of graduates
from the three years' course In the
School of Agriculture to one hundrod
nnd twenty-olght. It Is felt that no
school of tho same ago can present a
better record of Its work.
The School of Agriculture Is a de
partment of the University of Ne
braska, and Is Included In tho Indus
trial College. No such thing as an
Agricultural College oxlsts. Tho col
lege courses In agriculture are for
tho moBL part offered on tho campus
and some of them ao entirely given
there. The laboratory work In agri
culture, horticulture, animal husban
dry, dairying and agricultural chemis
try Is done at the University Farm.
All tho work In tho School of Agri
culture, which as has previously boon
said, Is a department of the Unlvorslty,
Is carried on at the Farm. Two
courses are offered; tho three years
course which opens the first of Novem
ber nnd continues for one hundred
and forty-four days of actual school
work; the winter course which begins
tho first of Jnnuary and lasts for
fifty days.
Tho states which' are thought to be
foremost In agricultural education are
carrying on this work In their state
universities. These states are Win
ols, WlsconslnAHnnesota, Missouri,
Ohio and Nebraska? In other state's
the instruction in agriculture Is given
in separate Institutions, and the result
has been greatly to increase the ex
pense to taxpayers without in any de
gree adding to tho efficiency or pop
ularity of tho instruction. Under the
leadership of her University, Nebras
ka has made more rapid advancement
In agricultural education than has
been effected In any other state of the
union in the same length of time.
It is to be regretted that the name
"State Frfrm" has obtained .such wide
currency. The term should be "Unl
verslty Farm," for that shows that
the School of Agriculture Is a part
of our great educational Institution.
A large audience will assemble Fri
day evening, to hear the accomplished
President Creelman of the Agricultur
al College at Guelph, Canada, which
In advanced methods and in organi
zation Is perhaps the most ideal Insti
tution of Its kind on the continent.
President Creelman's subject will be
"Tho New Agriculture." He is a man
of wide experience In matters per
taining to agriculure. No one can af
ford to miss hearlrfg his address.
