VOL. ill. !LANNING, CLARE-NDON CoUMI -Y, S. C WEDNESDAY. SEPTEMBEIR I.1 O3 TlHE AGRIC I LiAL CC L E ANOTRER ARTIC'LE UN AN INTER A Comparlson of 1e MisisiPP1 Co' With the South CarouLa CoIege--The Merits of Each Considered. To the Editor of the News and Courier: A separate agricultural college is de manded because the cgricultural depart ment of the South Carolina College ha-s not attracted a large number o stud:nts. Capt. Tiiman says two students 3;avc studied a little agicaltural cheiAry. Others concede eight or ten. L-1 us consider whether the College has Nii-e to attract the studerts it shaould ive. and, if so, whether the fault lies with the plan of organization of the College, oris to be sought elsewhere. A recital of the Congressional Act of 1862, under which the land scrip was given, will show the scope of the Act, and will determine what classes of stu dents are to be considered in receiving its benefits. It will be seen that: First, there is no authority whatever for the argument that the land scrip -nnd should be devoted entirely to the teaching of agriculture. I call spcihd ut+ention to the words of the Act. Seetdon 4 provides that the income of the ;crip shall be devoted "to the en dowment of at least one college where the leading object shall be, without e cluding other scientific and classical studies and including military tactics, to teach such branches of learning as are related to agriculture and the mechanic arts, and in such manner as the Legisla tures of the States may prescribe, in order to promote the liberal and pr.eti cal education of the industrial classes in the several pursuits and professions of life." The college receiving the money ucnst ->ay attention to mecianical arts equz;IIy iith agriculture, and must fit young .nez, not for farming alone, as C.1>4. Tilinan and "Outside Observer" wou-ld have it, but for the severel pursuits -nd protessions of life. Not even clastie.l studies are excluded, and the educnt on .must be "liberal" as well as "practiesd." The South Carolina College fulfils th e requirements of 4he Act of Congeess more fully to-day than the -Miississippi College, for.the latter does not provide a "liberal" edacation. It ignores the mechanical training, wiih is of co-ial importance with agriculture, and it ies not claim to train boys for the "several pursuits- and professions of lifo," but simply for farming. In the languag. of Mr. Thomas, it pu;s all the eggs to one basket. The College in Columbia has no.e scientific than litersry professors, nvere scientific than literary studies, m.ore scientific than literary courses, and nore students taking those studies that are related to agriculture and mechanic arts than those that are not-, for the latter there are very few studies. It also uo merely claims to fit, bi does indeed it, young men _"for the several pursuits and professions in -.e." But some one has discovered a genmne mare's nesth in that the establishment of an agricultural department of a Src-te college is an evasion of the Act abme quoted, and the trustees of the Carolina College have been accused or "stealing the farmers' money." (This same Act, by the way, shows that the money does not belong to the farmers alone, but to the industrial classes."), Now the absolute legality of the de partment plan has been fully establis~hed long ago. The very Haten bill imelf settles any.doubt by giving the custody of its $15,000 appropriation to "the col lege, or colleges, or agricultural depart ments of colleges in each State or Temi tory." After this, no sane and honest man een attack the legality or regularity o1 the agricultural department system. Such being the law, the South Caroina College is entitled to claim at least all those students who take either the a1,-! cultural or the mnechaniical courses-at least all those students who perform manual labor in the workshops-and even the most ultra advocate of manual labor must accord this. There were in the College during the1 past year ten students in the regular agriculturaheourse and nineteen in the mechanical and engineering courses, be sides a number of elective and opitional students, maing a total of about forty stud~ents in the agricultural and mechan ical department. *If those who work in tb laboratory be included, the number is s'weP~ed to at least fifty. These students are here, and may be seein at work by any doubting Thomas whec the College is in session.. Thee courses, in spite of the assertions of those who do not understand them, are thoregh and practical, and turn out better and more accomplished graduates than come from most separate agricul tural colleges. . , Why are there no~ more "a cltural" students? Simply because te agricul tural course is a technical one, hngily sperialied, drawn up by President Alc tfryde after the best European mo4uels. El1y those take it who wish to become ghly'scientific farmers. The require ents for admission are a full vear bign :than the standard of the Lbsi5ipp~i College. Other courses, the mechanical; especially, may suit ordinary farmer otter than this technical one. Even the classical course contains many scientific studies pertaining to agriculture and the mechaniC arts. A very imipontaint difference betveen the two colleges in question lies in the differentiation of course~s in the one anud a uniformity of cusiiculum in the other. To secure the benefit of the cheap an good mental training offered in \hsi sippi, the young men are compeiled to take the agricultural course; but '-e fifty per cent. of the students of that ju stitution do not return to farming, n inference is irresistible that, had' th~ey beer- allowed the option, they we:;le b.aye chosen some other, titting them~ jo some other "pursuit and proxession i life." I propQse to show~ this more talie later on tby pruedng tha't the Missippi College attracts b. its cheapness as rnocI .s by its agricultur2. Again, of all the youths who hive at tendA Gen. Tee' Collee ahnnt one hall a-ve been prohratory s ents whc haver.eicly didu ageue and done no 'corpuls y farm vork. r the first ve yCaS, out oi an aggrw~t attndace o a' stdent- of to th 1st of oecy said 11)t i di prgementof fio M'ds sippi CotOege, ~ist vs an unswer to t'o9e sanguine rformers who claim overy o of there C57 boy s as a finiued farier and use him as a bluvgn with which to break the head of the South Carolin College. If aLl the "props" and all others who have left th. Mi'i.ippi College beiore the end oi the fresnm..u year be thrown out o; the reeoning. the e'parison made benwc e t toQ- zwo institutions 'ill .o:eso"dous." A stin-' furthe a 1 ay (. giU,. .o1 t lar c a tt ce at the iisdi"p Cole. President Lee's report shows that during the yrst 1Th-5 "176 students went through the entire session on an average of 4:6.23; 100 stadets on an average of $53.67; 50 students oL an average of $21.56; 25 students on an average of $15.40. Six students paid their way and had a balance of several dollars to their credit." (Biennial re port, 18&-85.) This is the meal tub that contains the cat! The Mississippi College not only has fre tuition, but pays its students a bonus besides for work. Now, since thiis labor is utterly unremunerative, entail ing a cost of $32 a bale for the mere oic-ing of cotton, it can be seen that the College has a generous taxpaying public behind it, wiling to suffer financial ius.3 in order to cheapen education for de servg young men. The South Carolina Legislature not only offers no bonus to the student, but eha-ges him Q10 tuition. Many of those who dwell so strongly on the cheapness of education in Mississippi aided in set ting up this barrier across the gateway of the South Carolina boy. In the name of the farmers' sons, and other men's sons. whv? Now, "if the Mississippi Legislature ould withdraw this $5,000 bonus .-nd Aharge tuition, Gen. Lee's College would suffer fearful loss, as he himself would testify. If the South Carolina Legila tire would follow hi-issippi's p oreent xample, and would also open aprepara tory school for one or two hundred b:>ys =nprepared to enter the regular col iarses, poor farmers' sons and other ooor men's sons would flock in on all sidcs from the mourtains to the sea bomad, even if every ono was required to anter the agricultural course, and the outh Carolina College and the Rbeform rs would alike be happy. No oun who l1s witnased the struggles madeic by parents to educate their c.'il -ren. the s:'vere sser ies, the actual arivation of the neessaries of life for his purpose, will doubt that the chc; less, qmte 4s much as the character cf :he education, determines largely the yass and numbers of students that Till ivail themselves of it. President Lee evidently regards free muition and the bonus as the corner-stone f his college. Yet the draft -of the bid that was to be passed last year in our Legislatre establishing a separate col lege was reported to contain a provision rerm' r uon fees. This was a mate blind, or else a serious aivergcnee from le plan of the Missi Appi College t'h we have all been brought to consid- a :nodei. It was a case of Hamlet with the Prince of Denmarkleft out. Without this free tuition and bonus a separate igricultural college in So-uth Carolina fo poor farmers' sons would be a mag fficent failure. Yet how is a pul'ie sentiment that would not tolerate free tuition only in the South Carolina Col lege going to be brought to the point of teaching a youth free and paying him besides? "I pause for a reply." I'. Columbia, S. C., August, 1867. - Somethingr on the Other Side. To the Editor of the News and Courier: t is the arguments I am after and not the individual. It is, therefore, a matter of indifference to me whether they ema nate from 'D." or "Dixie," Senator Youmans or "Farmer, but no Giideonite." .opose, then, to conin~ue to reply to th arguments used against an agric'al tiural college separate and apart from the State University, and in favor of con tinuing and enlarging the present use less ennex. I umay remark, however, th "D)." and "IDixic," at least, are so mnifestly one and the same person, that I shall treat the arguments of the t wo as coming ironm the same source. I maelso remarkz that when i consider a point clearly established, I shall i'rankly admit it, and treat it accordingly. Such I consider to be the case with reference to the conditions of the He'tch bill. In a former article I made reference~ to certain supposed-not asserted-condi tios of that bill, for I did not have it before me. As is well known, it has been the custom since the war to insert a clause in such appropriations, provid itg that they shall be used impartially between the two races, and presuemig that the Hatch bill contained such a clause, and in order to meet the require' ments of the State law as to two statione, I suggested locating the~ low-country ex perinnntal station in connteetion winh Clailin University. Bt now, en careful examination of the bil i itself, arnd as 'D." shows, it conta''s no condition of this kind, but leaves it pretty much en trely with th'e Legisati"es of the sevral States and1 Territories to dispocse of the aLmotappropritd, as theny et, for~ the purposes therein designated. it is true that Se'tionx 1 provides thai .here two such colleg~es (agrieultural) or departments of colleges exist, the amount dlowed shall be equally divided between them, "unless the Legislature of snteh State or Territory shall otherwise direct' So in our easo it must be admitted that it depends entirely upon the action of ur Legislature as to whether or tnot Clalin University shall receive any por. 'ion of this fund, as it does of the origi cal agricultural fund. Here is not the( time or place to enter' into a discussion as to the abstract justice of such a diver -ion; for I presume it will not be denied hat CMlile has an ugricultural annex, it 'he Smte University has. The dloubt ex apr:," as toW wetheri or not South~ Car .lina w'ould be entitled to the benefite oi the "1iste.h Act," 1 have understood t refer to doubt as to whether ani institu tion containing so few students-and prfensrs too, a I have shown--of crri. culture, would be accepted as a oi fide agricultural colki'g or agricaltur deparnmert itl sense of the law. The ree rence to Corncll Uuiversii proves notiting in our case, and in oth respects is a very unfortunate one f< "1)." to invoke. In the first pile Cornell University owns its founati originally to the Act of Congress of 3 dJonatingpublic lands to establish a maintain agricultural and mechanic colleges. Cnder this Act the State < N'ew York got nine hundred and ninel tiousand 0)90,000) acres in land scri] Tiis all went to Cornell. So we se 'his mag'ficent institution has been r garded as an agricultural and mechan cal college from its origin. To th spleuciid national donation Mr. Corne added ilve hundred thousand dollars at over two huudred aca.s of land, wit buildings, for the use of the agricultur department. While the leading idea of the nation donation was to encourage the study agriculture and the mechanic art, tl1 idea of Mr. Cornell was to found an ii stitution where everything could I taught that any one would be likely desire to learn. To carry out this id his friend and active coworker, Andre D. White, was sent abroad to stud foreign institutions of learning, especia ly those splendid institutions, the Ge: man polytechnic schools. I kno whereof I speak, because I had occasio then to meet Prof. White for the fin time, and to show him through an farnish him the documents relative . the organization of one of the very be! of these schools. The result has beei perhaps, the most complete universit in the strict sense ot the term that il country contains. But how has the agricultural depari ment, the very "leading object" fc which Cornell was founded, flourishei According to the catalogue of 1886-, 1 out of 829 students there were only 3 students of agriculture. The senior cla of 97 had only one studying agricultan the junior of 145, only 7; the sophomox of 178, only 9; the freshman of 323, oni 15; and then 5 special students, makin out the 37. We see then, in an instita tion like Cornell, founded originall mainly as an agricultural college, wit an endowment such as few other inst tutions in the land possess, and the pt of the great State of New York, how th agricultural department fails to aecon plish the purpose for which it wa founded. I believe we would find approximatel the same state of things with all tae agn cuhiural aunexes in the country. It i only the a'riculurdo elleges thai az aeparate and apart from other institt tions, such as in M iehigan, in Kansr and more recently in Mississippi, tht we rind properly ulfilin g thiie purp(t for whieh they were founded. Cz.n wt then, in South Carolina, reasonably hop to chauge this state of fa cts, tnd make flourishing -gricultural annex in cor nection with the State University? Ca: we hope to succeed where Cornell ha failed? "D." undertakes to refute Mi Thomas's estimate of the proportion c the State taxes paid by the farmers. I presume we have no exact dati either in the comptrolIer general's oflie or esewhere, to show the exact amour of the burden of taxation borne by th farmers or any other one class, and it i; erhaps, well that we should not havi JBut I would remark, in the first pla-E that the 76;,312 State taxes does not ! any means represent the entire tax pai by the people of the State. They ha in addition to pay county, township an municipal taxes, and here they get assitance from railroads or phosphat royalties. These I presume were it cluded in Mr. Thomas's estimate. I the next place, I insist that the farmer pay indirectly a very considerable prc nortion both of the railroad tax and th phaosphate royalty. I do not know t what extent the price of land phosphates used chiefly by our farmers. may b affected by tLe royalty on water phot pnates whbich, I believe, c.e mostl shipped outside the State. But it will be remembered that nc very long since, when Capt. Tlillman prop~osed to increase this royalty to pr< cure a fund to establish the agriculturn college, a great outcry was made b these same opp -nents of the college o th rudthat it would be an additior the burdon the farmer. But now seems to suit them to forget this, an ~pretend that this royalty is not paid b the farmer. As to the railroad tax "D. is entirely too well informed as to ti. burden borne by our people by tani taxation, as he has recently shown by hi excellent articles written elsewhere, uc to know that this railroad tax comes it directly out of the pockets of those wh. use the railroads. The farmers whos produce is carried to market by rail, an whose supplies are brought back to ther by rail, assist in paying this tax. I insist then that the figures cited b "ID." from the comptroller general's r: port do not give even an approximiat idea of the but den of taxation that ou farmers have to bear; and that M: Thomas is likely, upon the whole, nearc correct than he is. But "D." admits that "South Carolin has always been, and most probabl Ialways will be, an agricultural State, s that her chief wealth will be derived ai rectly from the soil by the toil and~ swa~ of a large proportion of her people. Should we not then provide for the edi. cation and improvement of this "larg proportion of our people," I will not s-: instead of, but as well as for the "gene: al literary, scientific and polite culture ofL the few who inte'nd to be preacher: doctors and lawyers? 1 do not objec as "D." would have your readers b< tieve, to the literary, scientitic and p)olit culture oif all who have the means obtaining it, be he farmer's son or lav yer's so'n. But how few proportionall of our farmers' sons can afford either ti: time :ir the means of obt'aining th: cutue in our comiparatively expensi; State University or denominational co leges? Are such to be debarred of' all oppo; tunity~ of instruction and iinprovemnei in their special calling? Would it nt be farr better for the State, as well as i. more just to that "large proportion< our people," to have an institution lit the Misissipili and Michigan Agrica tural Collicee, where thos.e Iimitedi means and. in time could go and obtLi the speil instruction they most nec at a vary moderate expense, and whe: even that can be diminished by the a ollege about six young men on arn xI %verage could be educated for what it costs to educate one at the South Caro v lina University. Have not these six r young men at Ieast as much right to con >r sideration as the one who goes to the , University, and are they not likely to be n just as useful to their community and 2 State? Why then should South Carolina d so completely neglect the half dozen and il so carefully provide for the one? i As for the "broad culture" that "ID." v so insists upon in our State University, I . think it more than likely that the culture obtained either in the Micihgan or Mississippi Colleges woiuld be quite as i- broad, more practical and liberal, and is perhaps less egotistic and supercilious. [1 The Michigan College has twenty-five d professors and tutors, the Mississippi b twenty-two, while our State University a has only fift,-een or sixteen in all, includ ing the literary. classic and law depart Ll ments. Which, thcn, is best cquipped >f in the way of teachers? While agricul e ture is the predt.ominant feature in both i- those colleges, they both teach a certain e amount of nearly everything, except law, o taught in our State University, quite a enough, no doubt, for "broad culture," v and for all practical purposes as well. v Great stress is laid by "ID." on the I- practical mech.nical education that may be obtained in the State University, and v he makes bitter complaint of some one a who it seems has denied this. He speaks t with triumphant pride, as did "Dixie" I before him, of the thirty to forty young o men in the worh-shop with coats off, t busily engaged in carpentering and other mechanical work. Now if training in this branch is so excellent, I can only e' commend it, for I insist that instruction in the mechanic arts should be an im - portant part of any agricultural college, r as provided in the Act of Congress of ? 1862, and that the want of this in the ', Mississippi College is a serious defect 7 that ought to3 be remedied. But we are s1 now discussing the question of agrical taral and not of mechanfcal education, e I so let us keep to ti subject. It is all y very well for the prospective farmer to g study "kinematics" and "mechanical - technology," and that very "skilled operation" of sharpening ploughs. But I insist that there are ve.ry mauy other and more important things for him to learn, practically as well as theoretically. Does the State University with its single professor of agriculture, as I have shown, s and its tan stadents in the agricultural department, as 'D." himself admits in y his lat aiticle, teach these things sufficientlv, and to a sufficient number? s IAre we, an agricultural State, as "1)." e admits, with so "large a proportioR of our people" engaged in farming, content ,to have only ten young men annually in t traiu.n for this important calling? If s so, then, indeed, we will have to wait a , long time for any perceptible improve e mct in our false and unprofitable ; methods of farming. Dat I must defer answering "D.'s" 2 second article for the present. OUTsIDE OBSERVER.
