Clemson on the Hill. &1EM80N COLLBOK, July 15.-Special: The attendance at Clemson is nearing tbe three hundred and fifty mark and bas airead')' grown tu be ?s lafg? as many of the trtist?Bs cared for. tc was thottght that for tue first year it would ba better to iiave a somewhat smaller attendance. But Clemson bas" caught the pe?ple and it is on the road io high success, tb previ??3 articles f bave attempted to sboW what there really is at "Clemson on the Hill." It might be well just here to indicate, for the benefit of those who contemplate taking a course at Clemson, what it ft iii oost them, Wu?t they will be expected to etudyj and principally that it is a finan? cial impossibility to pay your w?y through Cleit?st?o by working on the farm or io tho shops. It cannot be done. It need not be attempted. The faculty do not want jBii tb try it, and indeed President br?tgteeEd frill advise you riot to try it, but to remain lt home, work for dfages aod then come to tie oi? son. Do not go there with ? few dol? lars-oot enough to buy books-?od expect to work your way through. Re? member that your time has to be ?pent in class room work and study, and that two or three hours' work for. "wages" is as much ag you can do. Clemson's course is weil worth the money, and while tbe working system is a help, it can pot be coan ted on for every expense Tho catalogue of Clemson gives the following as a minimum expense ; Board for ted months g 70 00 Washing for f?? mouths 5 00 {Sedjc?i feg O 00 UniformS 23 75 Total $ 103 75 This does not include Books aod other necessary iteras of exp5n?e. "it wi!l be ?left estimate to place the actual expenses bf boys who cannot pay the $40 tuition fee at $100, and anyone who gets to Clemson can put that down as a minimum figure after he counts up society Hues, extra clothing, fares aod incidental expenses. The catalogue says : "These expenses may be reduced by labor." The board of trustees have decided to pay not more than 8 cents pbr hour for work that is not educational. By this is meatit that a boy who works in the me? chanical department and spoils lumber aod consumes time is not to be paid for his work, becatise it is educational. Whenever the work is of adran tag? to thc* Collegs as weil ss to the student it will be paie! Fdr at the rate of "not more than eight cents an hour." The oourse provides two hours Work per day ; that wo?ld be j6 cents per day, or 96 cents per weeks, or Ctft enough to pay the board bill, Or with three .hours work per day, with ao allowance for inter feretice t?rb^gh weatSer or otherwise, tfce board .bill would just be paid. The trtlsiees db not want the boys to devote their entire time to work io tbe Solds, and ali cf it will ?ot be fora the benefit of the College, and a mazioiuoi price cannot be ? aid. ?here is no use. tb. go to Clemson expecting to work your way all the way through It is really touch? ing to see bow very many jt?un* men tbbre ?re who want to go to Clemson and have not the means. 1/ery, very many of them are there now at a great sac? rifice to their families and after experi? encing untold trial and self-den ail them? selves. . Here is an incident that shows the spirit of some of the young men at the College. Thc News and Courier want to send a telegram from Calhoun, a distance of .two miles from Clemson. I arked President Craigbead tot please secure a messenger by whom the tele? gram could be carrifd, .Shortly after? wards a neat-looking j pring niau came up, and said : "President Cralghead said you wanted to send a message to Calhoun." He tifa, told what tfas desired and he replied : "I am willing to go to Calhoun or anywhere else if I eau make any money. I want to make all I can to pay my expenses here." He carried tbe tele? gram, but the agent of the Western Union Telegraph Company was not quite so willing and preferred his sleep to working after business hours. He next carried mail to Pendleton, a dis? tance of fot?r miles, and telegrams to Calhoun's for the newspaper men. Watch Johfl Hook, of Orangeburg! He has the right material in bim and he will be a ?redit to Clemson. There is no more importan; factor in College affairs than eating. It is always i vexed oj?estio? and the problem for years has been, how chea*? board can be given aod at the same time be whole? some and give s?t is fact ion. What to feed est?ril hundred boys du ?nd how to fix it is another question. All boys do not like the same dishes, and the real trouble h that so many arc denos? to di!ferent kinds of eating. Clemson has taken the eating problem by the boros and will make a test of tb : pres? ent plan ; whether it will be entirely satisfactory and will not have to be modified in some way remains to be seen. Sdiris want it made cheaper/ while others wa*ot it improved ?ii cer? tain features. Une thing is certain there are maoy boys at Clemson who are to-day getting food of better quality and better orenaied than the* had . J, J it while th?^ were ?t home. The present j idea is to charge seven dollars per month to all students for board ' this bas to be paid monthly In advance. The messs hall and kitchen are on the basement ?oor of thc dormitory, but cut off so far as smells are coocoroed. There is plenty of room, and thc kitchen is supplied with cooking appliances of the latest kinds. The mess room will easily seat all of thc students. The table furniture is cheap, but neat. , Mr. W. J. Gallowoy, of thc Missis? sippi Agricultural and Mechanical Col lege, te dt present ;n charge of the mess liall and is" gettiug things in working conditio!?, st* that his successor can take hold withottt any trouble. Ile has h?e co??ks, two in tire bake room* and three in the kitcbeo, end te? waiters, who ??tend td the tables aud thc clcaniug of the dishes and 6uch ether work as is required. The kitchen is supplicvl with steam tables, vegetable pots, a range that wiil ; cook enough for a thousand per day and ? a bake room that can turn out breadstuff I ,by the wagon lt ad. There is au itu- , tn ? o se copper tub io whicn bams boiled acid a copper coffee pot that prepare seventy-five gallons of ?Offe a time. The equipuieot of tte fcfe is very complete. About the best way td ?life' ?ti of what, the boys get is ta giri* meDus for the day I s?w Kr. ch way : Breakfast at 7 20 A. M. Ham. 1 bread, corn bread, hominy, cduefe milk: . ii * t Dinner at 1 o'clock. Beef, I potatoes (from firm,j nee, (from fa corn and light bread: vegetables (f farm.) milk (from experimental static Sapper at 6 o'clock. About ?ami breakfast. ?tie bill of faro wilt be ch'?oged v the season and the boys will b? gi the bcucuc of the products of ?He. ft and 8 ta ti co. It ig the present intention df thosi charge of trig mess ball not td Have i soup. Here is one who is willing joiu Governor Tillman in his fight soup, if for nothing el?e. The autln ties say th?t soup would cost as tri! as meat, bread or any other drt?ole diet, that it is not as valuable and t with the short time allowed for ?ih1 that it cannot be served. No soi tfor the present the meat is secui under fcciitract at $5 20 per Huodn lt will Be arranged so that &\\ of t meat will bare to pass inspebHBo bef it is accepted. The commissary is located under I memorial hall and is convenient to t kitchen. It is provided with a gc supply of the necessaries for the tab It is not intended to give the boys a fanjy dishes, but plain and substant food. Now, these boys who are at Clems j and those who are to follow them, wi j are the* td ?tudy ? It is a most int< I estipg Question. The board of trustees have arraog j foqr courses io the collegiate departan aod one for the preparation of boj It will be seen that the conrees are r. 1 brought io conflct with the cclleg? bol ses of other institutions. The' ebon are : Four-year course in chemistry ai agriculture. Fot?r-year course in mechanics and e gineering. Two-year codr?? in mechanics. Two-year codrse ic ?grieult?re.

The course in mechanical egiueering is tbs samo as that in chemistry and agriculture for the CrCt two years, and . after that branches off in the special line of mechanics and engineering, with plenty of mathematics; . . . ..^j. The two year course in agriculture tfill be.perhap.s .the most popular. It provides for the following course o? study: :< , Freshman Glass-?i-st T?}rt?? Syidj and hours per week, mathematics 5, Eoglish 5, history 2, botany 2, animal philosophy 1, practical work, two hours daily, drawing military drill.

The two-year course io mechanics di-ers only 2) far as thc practical work is concerned, and ??is"tead to uro bo?rs given to agriculture in the stfprfotuore year of thu agicult?ra! ce'urs? live hours are given to mechanics. In cither re? spects the two-year courses aro identic^!. Of course special emphasis is to be placed upon the practical work in the shops and in thc fields Very much is expected as a result of the work tn the shops and Geld. The preparatory department,, which will no doubt contain a very large proportion of the students, proposes to teach arithmetic, English grammar, ?uited States history and geography. Thc examination of the boys shows the very ptor condition of the overage pub? lic sohools in the State, and Clemson has a good and laudable work before it in this preparatory department. . The proposed work of the College as far as class room exercises are* cou cerned ia very welt indicated Dy tue text-books that are to be used.

Tho young men are to have practical Ss well as theoretical instruction in every de? partment of their cot?rse, from field work to horticulture, from biology to the dairy farm. One advantage is that the college has fertile fields aud plenty j of land in which to carry on thc work. The dairy farm, for experimental j stock feeding and raising will soon be | ic operation. There are now" forty- j th ree head of cattle which give the j products, for experiments in butter, j cheese and original investigation. It is j expected to raise and compare tbe merits j of certain breed? of catti? and stock, j Roadmaking will be illustrated. In the college department the lecture ? room will be used for instruction in the whole field of agriculture, horticulture and stook raising. In thb application of the science to the art the work will be done in the Seid. The farm, orchard and dairy are the laboratories for the school of agri? culture arid g!$e the practice of what is tmght. The lectures are to be daily of one hour each. In the horticultural department there are thirty-five acres which are devoted to fruit growing, vineyard, small fruit, mc-fous ?od Vegetables.- Most of the supplies are grown for the mess ball. The department is in ,eharge ,pf that masterhand, Prof. DuFre. T?i?s year $&tensive , experiments with \ onions, beans, melons raspberries and straw? berries ar5 being trie?., ? (joe of the .reasops .for (He eb??p board is the a viability .of* the products of the farm for the mess hall. Io addi : t!qn to using vegetables and potatoes while in season there is a. well equipped cannery on the "IHil,'.' willi a capacity of 500 three-pound cans per day. The boys are taught this work, Last year three .tons of tomatoes were put up The beans and cabbage are put up in salt, as that method1 :s preferred by Prof. Newman. . :., . The young men will have cheap-,and good washing. A complete laundry has been built joear Mechanical Hall and .is equipped with two washers", ironers, starehers, shapers and other apparatus. The pl ace is in charge of Mr. E "M.. Shealy, , .of lie wherry. The uniform charge to each strident for laundry work is ?0 cents per couth.
