tho
W. Erlckson, chief draftsman of
State Engineering ' department,
tnfl rngularmoflllnK of tlio -
Agricultural Engineering Society last
Thursday night. His toplo was "Irri
gation In Nebraska." In taking up the.
subject he revlowed tho history of
irrigation laws, and discussed In de
tail some of tho present laws regard
ing tho sale of water rights, applica
tion for irrigation, removal of head
gates, and excessive use of "water.
Tho point was emphasized that tho
Irrigation engineer must have a thor
ough knowledge of those laws.
An important part of irrigation en
gineering is tho making of maps, re
ports, and records. Tho Jaw is Very
'strict in regard to having neat and
accurate reports for putting on flltf.
Mr, Erlckson therefore not only em
phasized tho necessity of tho engineer
ing student familiarizing himself with
the laws, but- further endeavored to
Impress upon their mind the value of
making neat and accuratomaps and
reports.
Oberlln.
For some time there has been a
great deal of discussion at Oborlin as
to whether the academy should be
continued or not, on account of the
large deficit which now exists.
After a thorough investigation, the
council decided to continue the acad
emy and reduce the budget, either by
reducing the number of subjects
taught, or by reducing the number of
the faculty, and in this "way make the
I deficit less burdensome.
