was made up of Seniors—two of

Champion Stock Judging Team
Chicago. These two men, Garlock
and Kiever, stood 2nd and 8th re-
spectively in the Chicago contest.

Snell, Luker and Evans finished in
the first five men in the contest. We |
have been unable to get complete re-

These teams meet again March 8,
at the Fat Stock Show in Ft. Worth.
Much interest is being manifested in
the probable outcome of this contest.
Garlock and Kiever, who are the
back-bone of the Oklahoma team,
will be ineligible at Ft. Worth on
account of the Contest Rules, which
are modeled after the International
Contest rules, preventing students |
who have competed in Inter-state
contests in years previous to this.
Last year Oklahoma defeated Tex-
as A. and M. at Ft. Worth by a nar- |
row margin of 4 points. The de-
feat at Oklahoma City by a team of
which at least two of its members
would have been ineligible in most
of the major contests in the country
only adds more determination upon
the part of the Texas Team to get
revenge, when they have them in
their home territory. A large num-
ber of the Junior and Senior Animal
Husbandry students are making ar-
rangements to be in Ft. Worth on
the morning of the contest to give
the team a new supply of A. and M.

THE LAND-GRANT
ACT OF 1862 IS
SUBJECT PAPER
Importance of This Law
passed by Any Educational Law
of Any Lawgiver.
C. E. Friley,
subject of, “The Land-Grant Act of |
[| 1862.”
“Of the national educational poli- |
cies which have been inaugurated by |
| the U. S., there are two whose im- |
It has been the | portance is not surpassed by any edu- | leads this conmpany,
| cational law of any lawgiver, ancient
or modern; there are—first, the or-
| dinance of 1787, which forever estab-
| lished the great principle that ‘it is
la high and binding duty of Govern-
ment to support schools and advance
the means of education’ and which
laid the foundation for our great pub-
institutions; second, the
| Land-Grant Act of 1862 which grew
| out of the recognition of the fact that
| the greatest warfare of present and
| future centuries is industrial war-
| fare. It gave utterance to the im-
| portant truth that in the future de-
velopment of American Industry large
advances were to be made in the ap-
plication of science to agriculture and
the mechanic arts, and that those fit-
tingly educated for the work in hand
must here, as everywhere else, neces-
sarily take the lead.”
| He gave a short history of edu-
cation, and told how the ancient class-
ics were used as “altars before which
young minds were sacrificed” even at
| the very beginning of the nineteenth
century, when the demand for a more
| practical education grew louder and
| more insistent as the century pro-
gressed. He summarized the history
of agricultural education up to the
| time of the passage of the Land-Grant
ricultural education its most power-
ful stimulus. To Justin S. Morrill
of Vermont more than to any else is
due the credit for the general govern-
ment’s action.” He told of the intro-

THE SAM LEWIS
“COMPANY NEXT
LYCEUM NUMBER
[sam Lewis, Lyric Tenor,
Laverty, Miss Irene Harruff, Miss
| Amber Hopkins.
| The
Sam Lewis Company is the
| of entertainments being given here
| by the Y. M. C. A. Entertainment
| Committee and will be presented here
| Monday night, March 8.
Samuel Lewis the Welsh tenor who
is one of the
most popular ballard singers in this
country and is scarcely less a favor-
ite in the singing of oratoria and
®peratic arias. Except for the un-
savory reputation of comparisons he
might truly be called “The John Me-
Cormack of the Lyceum.”
Miss Ruth Lavery, violinist, will
be a close second to Mr. Lewis in pop-
ularity. Indeed to those whose spec-
ial fondness in music is for the violin,
and their name is legion—we predict
that Miss Lavery will more than di-
vide honors with Mr. Lewis. The
tone she draws from the violin is of
exquisite richness.
Miss Irene Harruff is a most artis-
tic accompanist and gives sympa-
thetic support to the other members
of the company in their solos and
the ensemble numbers for voice and
violin. Miss Harruff will also be
heard in soprano solos and in duets
with Mr. Lewis. She possesses a
beautiful voice of most excellent qual-
ity and a charming personality.
Miss Amber Hopkins, reader, as-
sists in rounding out a most complete
and artistic program. Her readings
and stories are given with such grace
and charm as to make for her an im-
portant place as an individual artist
and also add to the artistic finish of
the program as a whole. Miss Hop-
| kins is a highly honored pupil of Elias
| Day, the well known director of the
| Lyceum Arts Conservatory of Chi-
| cago.

age “on the second day of July, 1862,|" He outlined the work of this Col-
at a period darkest and most threat- | lege from its beginning, and said since
ening to our national unity, just as| 1910 it has had a period of rapid
the smoke of the seven days fight | orowth, remarkably increased interest
around Richmond was clearing away, | ond tremendous expansion. “This
and while the slain lay yet unburied
upon that bloody field.”
Defining a definition of the scope of
the law by Mr. Morrill himself, Mr.
Friley said that, not manual but in-
tellectual instruction was the para-
mount object of the Land-Grant Act.
“It was a liberal education that was
proposed. It is evident, therefore,
that the work of the land grant col-
leges should cover a broad field, in-
cluding not only the technical courses
required in the development of the
varied industries and resources of the
country, with thorough training in
all of the fundamental cognate sci-
ences; but also the general training
increased interest and expansion has
had as its great impetus the Smith-
Lever and the Smith- Hughes Acts.
The great work before the College to-
day is to so direct their energies as
to extend the range of the new ideal
of education expressed by these acts
until it permeates our entire educa-
tional system.”
“The future of land-grant colleges
is indissolubly linked with the gener-
al scheme of public education,” he
said and outlined a plan of reorgani-
zation of our public school system.
An enthusiastic discussion of the
subject followed the reading of Mr.
Friley’s paper.
PLANT INDUSTRY
COUNCIL MAKES
RECOMMENDATION
Goes on Record as Favoring the Call-
ing of a Special Session of the
Legislature.
REPORT OF AGRONOMY COMMIT-
TEE ADOPTED BY COUNCIL.
The Feeding Value of Grain Sorghum
is Ninety-Three Percent of In-
dian Corn.
The ‘Plant Industry Council held
their regular monthly meeting Mon-
day afternoon in the Extension Ser-
vice building. Two very important
matters were discussed and adopted
at this time.
The Council went on record as
adopting the report of the Entomo-
logical Committee recommending that
the <overnor of the State call an ex-
tra sossion of the lerislature for the
purpose «f establishing non-cotton
zones in crder thot the pink boll werm
may oc credicated Th: Council fur-
ther voted to have this recommenda-
tion ge out from the President of the
| College.
A second action of importance tak-
en by the Council was the adoption
of a report on “The I'eeding Value
of Grain Sorghum” prepared by A.
B. Conner, Acting Director of the
Experiment Station, and reported
to this meeting by the Committee on
Agronomy.
Ie
Committee Report.
Professor S. W. Bilsing read ihe
article written by the Committee on
Entomology, which he submitted to
the Council for their approval.
He said that the cotton crop of Tex-
as is now menaced because of the dil-
atory action of those who should be
most interested, namely; the cotton
growers, cotton ginners, oil, and ware-
house men of the state. This menace
is the presence of the pink boll worm
which was first discovered in Texas
cotton fields in 1917. He named the
five infested areas now undey the sup-
ervision of the Federal Horticultural
Board and said that in the last few
days a new infestation had been found
in Harris county five miles outside of
the quarantined territory and in Jas-
per county a distance of ten miles
outside of the quarantined territory.
These findings Professor Bilsing said
proved the ineffectiveness of the quar-
antined area and challenged the peo-
ple to action in defense of the Texas
cotton crop.
He gave a short history of the pink
boll worm since its finding in Egypt
in 1843 until its present introduction
into Texas from Mexico, and men-
tioned the enormous loss that it is
causing in the cotton districts of the
world.
The maintenance of a restricted
zone, he said was effective only as a
restriction of the spread of the pest
for a limited time, and under such a
system the dissemination of the in-
sect is certain sooner or later. The
