The virgin prairie will be analzed and then the farm' which has been worked will be investigated. That which the latter soli lacks, which was in the virgin soil, will be given to It.

CHANCELLOR OS AGRICULTURE Nebraska's University Head Ad dresses Graduates. LINCOLN, April .-(Special. Chancel lor K. Benjamin Andrews addressed the graduates of the state agricultural school here tonight on "The Integration of Higher Bduoatlon Within the State." He said in part: f There Is growing up In this .-commonwealth a more orderly system of higher education than exists in any other stale. Overlapping of educational function is not encouraged -In Nebraska as in most states, and such bulging as there unfor tunately Is will grow less with the. years. The state of Nebraska Is greatly to be congratulated upon lis good fortune In keeping its higher education work together Instead of locating it at different centers under more or less hostile auspices as has been done In Iowa, Kansas and Colorado. Were these states to do their educational pioneering over again, they would prob ably prooeed differently. Some of my colleagues seem to consider our provision for agricultural training ex cessively costly. Not so. Of course' we need large sums for this and I must not create by any remark tonight a contrary Impression. We need a larger farm, more buildings and more stock. Ht 1 11. the com-, mon notion touching the cost of agricul tural education is greatly exaggerated. Our dairy herd has cost money, ut will never cost much more, as It Is. now nearly self-Kupporiing.- So of the beef thoroughbreds. We need a few thousand dollars for choice horseflesh, but. If we get this, our stud will In a few years not only support itself but be a source of revenue to the univer sity. I'nfortunately engineering and gen eral scientific education is not productive In any such way. It is costly with no Im mediste return. It must he had. however. It must be provided for all the same. It Is naught against it that It costs heavily. The returns are sure though more Indirect and stow. 1 have mentioned the saving a state ef f'ts hv unity In Its higher education out fit. Much more Important Is the Invalu able attrition between the industrial spirit at work scientif Icallv and the classical or so-called liberal spirit at work In the same way. Kach gains by contact and each loses from t lie absence of contact. We are often misled by the observation, which, of course, is true, that Nebraska is an agricultural stale. This does not mean that we do nothing here but plow, plant and harvt. In our way of doing thefco very things we cease lo be mere farmers In the sense of a hundred years mko. You cannot farm without machinery, and so far as yoj use il.is-re.iperx. mower, engines and so on you uie machinists and not mei farmers. One of our most im IHirtanl departments Is that of farm en gineering or farm machinery. Any farmer education ignoring the many-sidedness of the modern farmer's life 'would be of no use. There Is perhaps even now danger that In educating young men and women for th farm we may develop in them a certain undemocratic narrowntsa. The farmer must be the general citizen. If lie la not, who shall take his placer Wliat hints does our review afford us on educational integration in our state? I put tills question thus because the prob lem of educational integration differs with slates. No other slate is just like Nebraska In this matter. The educators busy In "standardizing" colleges and schools need to I) reminded that standardizing may easily be cariiud too far for t lie educational common weal. Communities' needs in re spect to education are after all to a great dt-zree local. The survey above presents us t point ers, a ucgative and a xsitive. The nesative one is lliis: Do not need lessly multiply the slate's educational ma chinery, slender enough at best. lioost and bulste only where i;eceisdry, not out of ni-ie hahit or an linnijlse to active. Ths positive rul is Ihis" If you CA'J ftnd any iomt here fiiller ed.i, at ioiid I nori'y and ait4:anct aiw i.ectst.iry Iv the best life of the state, especially If no one else is busy there at all, lay hold and lift with all your might. This program would mean, so f t as con cerns the duty ot this univeisiiy, things: 1. A great deal of additional out lay for graduate study. 2. The generous carrying out of our plun for a high class teachers' college, not to Interefere with other work of the kind, but to supplement and strengthen It all. S. Similarly, the complete elaboration and equipment of our engineering school: and 4. most of al). the vast extension of agricultural education in the stale. Involving the promotion and up building of our farmer life. All this will cost. A liberal arts building worth j:(o(),ioo should In a few years stand In the place of old university hall. For reasons too numerous to mention here I do not think the university will ever move its central sent from this campus. New land close by will cost no more than the new farm you would need If you made the pres ent farm your main campus. Meantime all your farm and as much more Is needed for experimentation and this school's work, which must In a very few years provide for 1.010 pupils and provide for that number more rovallv than we now provide for those we have. I look to see this magnificent school the state center for a large circle of from fifteen to fifty agricultural high schools flourishing up and down the state, supported perhaps In port by the general government, though, I hope, they will be state Rchools of the Morrill art type rather than l'nltel States Department of Agricul ture schools as proposed by some.
