partment of Agronomy) to Taloga as judge for

both to the people and the management and we
ask for nothing better than having him with us

energy. When once obtained death alone can
prevent its constant beneficent influences.
“A student came to me yesterday saying, ‘Mr.
President, I am 18 years old and have but one
more year to give to an education. What special
short course should I take?’ This question re-
minds me of a young man with pockets full of
money who goes to purchase an automobile and
from a number of sixty, forty, and twenty horse-
power machines equipped with all the conven-
iences and safety appliances of the newest models,
he selects a twenty horse-power model of some
years back. Intellectual development is the
human ‘horse-power’. Some people never try for
great mental force. Without it great obstacles
can not be overcome, hills of ambition climbed or
highest human success achieved. Youth is rich
in time and can purchase the best there is in the
storehouses of education if it has ambition and
will.
“To aid you in securing this mental training and
development the State of Oklahoma has brought
together at her A. & M. College a faculty of edu-
cators of special training and fitness who will
labor with you and for you faithfully in season
and out of season. Like this student body these
instructors are expected to apply themselves
seriously to the duties of the hour. Both student
body and the faculty of A. & M. have a reputation
for hard work which is freely accorded them by
educators in all portions of Oklahoma. 1 wel-
come both returning students and faculty to this
auspicious opening and wish for all who will join
us on the voyage of the year 1910-11 a pleasant
and successful season of labor and refreshment.”
The first chapel meeting demonstrated very
clearly the great need of A. & M. for a new audi-
torium. The seating capacity was crowded to its
utmost and many could not secure seats. More
students are matriculating every day and in a
month from now the boys and girls will arrive to
take up the work in the School of Agriculture and
Domestic Economy.

County Superintendents, officers of Farmers’
Institutes, fathers, mothers, and boys have writ-
ten urging that additional representation be al-
lowed at the school. There would be no difficulty
in doubling the attendance if only the boys could
be cared for. Owing to th© demand for admis-
sion to the school it is hoped that any delegate
who cannot attend will promptly notify the Col-

about to raise the membership fee, in accordance
with the provisions of the institute law
On June 2ist of this year, a letter was ad-
dressed to the officers of each county institute of
this State, from the Institute Department, calling
attention to the fact that in the spring of the
year was the time to prepare for a successful fall
exhibit, and also calling their attention to the
resolutions passed at their annual county insti-
tutes, and urging each of them to make prepara-
tions accordingly and advertise their premium list
in order that the farmers might, during the farm-
ing season, use their best efforts to follow the in-
structions given them by lecturers at the insti-
tutes throughout the year that would assist them
to produce the best products that could possibly
be produced on their farms. The officers of the
institutes were urged to get this list advertised
and send copy to our office at Guthrie, in order
that we might know the products to be exhibited
and premiums offered on same, so that I might
include the same in my annual report to the
Board of Agriculture. To this a number of coun-
ties have responded by sending in their premium
lists: others indicate that they are going to, and
I am unable at this time to say what counties will
hold an exhibit or what the amount will be, but I
hope, in completing my annual report, to be able
to show that every county in the State is living-
up to the resolutions passed at their annual meet-
ing.
Our institute system provides for the federa-
tion of other clubs, such as the Woman’s Club,
Poultry Associations, Dairymen’s Associations,
Fruit Growers’ Associations, and in compliance
with this provision there have been a number of
counties where their poultry association has be-
come an auxiliary to the institute.
For the purpose of getting the women inter-
ested more in the domestic science work, the
Board has engaged a first-class teacher and
lecturer on domestic science and art, and there
is, at this time, about half the counties in the
State that have a splendid domestic science or-
ganization as auxilaries to the institute, with a
membership ranging all the way from ten to fif-
teen to 400 in each county. There is a program
of study mapped out for the domestic science
club for each month of the year with subjects
suggested by the domestic science lecturer and
bulletins furnished them by the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, and from our A. &
M. College, at Stillwater. The subjects studied
each month will be the same throughout the dif-
ferent counties in the State. Tn order to bring
the women of the State in closer touch with
modern methods of home work, at a recent meet-
ing of the Board of Agriculture, provisions were
made to pay the railroad fare for one lady from
each county to attend the short course at the
nearest District Agricultural School, she being-
elected by the members of the women’s auxiliary,
and during the short course at the District
School, from among the ladies attending from
the several counties, there would be one elected
to attend the short course at Stillwater, whose
railroad fare would be paid in order that they
might grasp the information relative to the teach-
of domestic science and carry the information
back to the several localities in their county.
In connection with the above there is one im-
portant line that has been added to the institute
work, and that is, the encouragement of the Boys'
Corn Growing Club contest, and the organization
of the girls in domestic science and home work
