You "need not tell me, with, such barns and workshops, not for buying stock and digging silos, not for purchase of pitchforks and steam engines, anvils-and ploughs, lathes and mowing machines, but for teaching.

For teaching what? Not practical agriculture or working in. shops, not actual ploughing or hoeing, or driving planes or wielding axes, but to teaching branch'es of learning. What branches of learning? Classical studies says the law. Scientific studies generally. Scientific studies as are taught in other institutions, but especially must the interest of the fund to engage in oouiiy ion iwr proper remuneration.

Numbers of our students go to college on the proceeds of their labor, and spend their vacations in earning further funds. Never in all our history have we had greater need of jeducating our boys. Never did more p(jrtentious problems present themselves for solution. They threaten the continuance of freedom, the existence of civilized society. They can be solved only by the intel-v ligent classes, among whom it is your privilege-to belong.

Let me name mind and bad sense. Ihe sense of the first will gain a measure of saccess, notwithstanding his ignorance. The want of sense of 'the other will bring him to grief with all his learning. Give the education of books to a practical man of sound judgment and then watch the result. It will be as it as happened everywhere.
