CLEMSON, Ootobor 7.-When ono con sidors tho political opposition to Clom son Collogo as manifested during tho rocont Stato campaign, and tho bard times, tho magnificent oponlng this sea son is romarkablo. President Hartzog took no vacation during tho Bummer, and spent tho timo lecturing, corresponding, advertising and soliciting, lu this work bo rocoivou val uable assistance from many of tho pro fessors. As a result tho president con fidently looked for a largo nttondnnco, but tho enrollment has gone far uoyond his expectations. Ry aotual count thoro aro dOl cadets now in daily attendance. This number does not inoludo thoso studonts who woro rejected in tho physical and montai examinations. It should ho horno in mind, too, that Clomson, unliko tho col leges located in cities, has a vory small local patronago. With tho oxoeption of a dozen or so local studonts, tho sons of professors living on tho campus, tho wbolo corps is boarding in tho barracks. This puts Clomson far ahead of any other whito collogo in South Carolina in point of attondanco, and in that, particu lar it ranks nmong tho first in tho whole South. At this timo last year 250 stu donts woro in attondanco. Two hundred and live now students have matriculated, and every day adds to tho nurnbor. It is especially gratifying te ?am that fowor of tho old students \..vo romainod at homo this year than over before. Thoro aro moro now students hero now than tho total nurnbor at either of tho other collogos in thc Stato. President Hartzog has announced that ho has room now for only twenty moro cadets. Those who contemplate coming to Clomson this year should como as oarly as practicable to avoid disappoint in ont. As a class tho new students aro woll prepared. Thoro are a good many matriculates from other States. Tho schedule had boon prepared dur ing tho vacation, and class work began tho first day of school. President Hartzog is endeavoring to arouso an interest among tho students on tho subjects of manual training in tho public schools and nature study in tho rural schools. Ile regards theso as prob lems of great current interest in tho edu cational world. If theso ideas aro adopted tho dei.mud for Clemson gradu ates a? teachers will excoed tho supply. Ho offers tho president's medal this year for tho best essay on.theso subjects. With tho largest attondanco siuco the first year, with many improvements in tho faculty, tho curriculum, tho buildingn and equipments, Clemson begins her seventh session under vory encouraging auspices.
