The total thus far as compared with the same
date last year is 97 students in excess of the en-
rollment of 1909. The Sub-Freshman, Fresh-
man and Junior classes are much larger than last
year and while the Senior class does not appear
to be so large according to cards issued; as a
matter of fact the class is the same as last year
in numbers at this time. The apparent difference
being due to a more rigid system of classifying
students as Seniors this year. Forty Seniors arc
reporting for Commercial Usages daily.
The Two Years Course in Agriculture and Do-
mestic Economy will open October nth, and
many other students are due to arrive for the
regular courses during the fall season. The pros-
pects at this writing for the regular College stu-
dents is an enrollment of 750; the special Dairy
Courses, Farmers’ Short Courses and Summer
Normal attendance will run the figures to some
2,ooo as a total enrollment by the end of the Col-
lege year.

PRACTICAL SHORT COURSES FOR BOYS
AND GIRLS
 
The Two Years’ Short Course is designed for
boys and girls who desire a thorough course in the
common branches together with such instruction
in the sciences as will enable them to understand
the scientific principles of agriculture and do-
mestic science. Any one 14 years of age may enter
the course regularly or take such part of it as he
may be qualified for. There is no tuition or en-
trance examinations and the work is given at a
time when students can best be spared from the
homes—this year October nth to March 10th.
The student receives all the benefits of a college
life. The regular College professors conduct the
classes and the entire College equipment, appar-
atus, livestock, machinery, and library is available.
He has at his command the lecture courses, mus-
icales, athletics, and is helped and inspired by the
emulation, enthusiasm, culture, and self-reliance
acquired by association with hundreds of students.
Practical Work for Boys.—This course com-
bines with the study of books, much practical work
in livestock and grain judging, use of tools in the
carpenter and blacksmith shops, steam, traction
and gasoline engines, farm machinery, spraying,
soils, bee culture, poultry, veterinary medicine,
plants and plant culture, farm dairying, injurious
insects and their control, practical business train-
ing contracts, deeds and mortgages, commercial
paper, insurance, etc. The student receives the
same military and physical training as provided
for the students in the four years' courses.
Practical Work for Girls—The work in the
common branches is the same for girls and boys
and is given in the same classes. In practical
work the instruction for girls is of a special char-
acter, including sewing, dressmaking, cooking,
table (lecoration. serving, home hygiene, etc.
Physical training is given and free instruction is
offered in vocal and instrumental music.
A booklet giving full and definite information
may be had on request.

The College greenhouse and the power plant
building are being rapidly rushed to completion.
All youth is rich in time and opportunity but
many young people are poor in ambition and will
to achieve.

To be always prepared for difficulties and
emergencies is the secret of success to individuals
as well as to nations.

The boys and girls were glad to renew old ac-
quaintances at A. & M. last week and the in-
structors were equally pleased to have them back
in such large numbers. This is a promise of good
work and success for all.
The people of Oklahoma are building a com-
monwealth of which every citizen may well be
proud. Let every son and daughter of the State
so act that these high ideals of citizenship may
be fully and quickly realized.
The old proverb to the effect that “You may
lead a horse to water but you can not make him
drink’’, is often quoted in matters of education
by parents by way of excuse for the shortcom-
ings of their children. Give the horse extra salt
before time and he will not refuse the water.
Give the child a proper ambition and he will
labor to secure a thorough education. Inspire
the child to “court the best gifts”.
THE DEMONSTRATION TRAIN
 
The Frisco and Santa Fe railroads have ap-
proved the following itinerary for the A. & M.
College Live Stock and Dairy Demonstration
Train. A few changes have been made in the
first announcement. The train will be run on
schedule time. Demonstration lectures will be
given on Live Stock, Dairy Husbandry, Seed
Corn, Domestic Science, and Boys’ and Girls’
Clubs. At towns where night stops are made
illustrated lectures, with moving picture features,
will be given, provided such towns will furnish
rent free a suitable hall and equipment..
County Superintendents and teachers are asked
to arrange for a delegation from each school to
meet the train. If the school is close the entire
school might adjourn. Every Boys’ and Girls’
Club in Oklahoma should send at least two dele-
gates, and they should report to the school.

most pleasantly. The College Orchestra fur-
nished music for the occasion. Light refresh-
ments were served.
