THE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE Report Shows It to Be More of a Local Than a State Institution. SILVERTON, Feb. 2S. (To the Editor.) An Inspection of the annual catalogue of the Oregon Agricultural College for the year 1900-1901, reveals several things which may be of Interest to the readers of The Oregonlan- The students are grouped as follows: Graduates, seniors, juniors, sophomores, freshmen, sub-freshmen and special stu dents, aggregating 436. This Is a large number to be well accommodated at the college, and yet all the counties of the state are not represented therein. Five counties are wholly unrepresented and of the 2S counties represented, there seems to be no correspondence with population, property, geographical area, social con ditions, Industrial occupation or lack of educational facilities. The fact that the college Is a state Institution and sup ported In part by general taxation, was probably not thought of, or, at least, was no inducement to take a course there. If population had anything to do In supplying students, Multnomah would be first, Marlon next, then Linn, Lane, Yam hill, etc, but Multnomah furnished only 2L Marion 43. Clatsop 5, Linn 20, and Jackson L If the Industrial occupations of the people, corresponding to the col lege curriculum, had been a determining factor, the numbers would have been much changed. Likely the principle ruled In this as In all other human ac tions, viz., that we supply our wants with the least exertion, or In other words, that the young men and women go for such an education as they desire where It can be got the cheapest. That Is the selective affinity which determines who will become students at the Agricultural College of Oregon and of other states. That Is the reason why the counties of Eastern, Southern and Northern Oregon are sllmly represented, if at all. Everywhere college education Is a question of purpose and expense and the purpose Is weighed in the expense scale. If the young man or woman finds that a course in pharmacy with a diploma ad mitting the holder to practice can be had at the Agricultural College for less toll and expense than at other places, that Is the place he will go. If It Is mechanical engineering or agriculture, the same rule holds. But as Miss Mar tlneau said of marriage, "proximity makes more matches than Cupid," so proximity furnishes most of the students at the Agricultural College. Accordingly, Benton, a fourth-rate coun ty, as respects population and wealth, but the one In which the college Is located, supplies much the larger number of stu dents; and, narrowing the question still more, Corvallis, within which the college building stands, furnishes nearly all for which the county Is credited. Of the nine graduates, all except one from California are residents of Corvallis. Of the 36 seniors, 11 are from Benton and 10 of these from Corvallis. There are 42 juniors, 18 from Benton and 14 from Corvallis. Of the 16 other counties having students In this class, S of them have 2 each and the other 8 one each. The sophomore class numbers 70, 2S of them from Benton and 24, or more than one-third of the whole, from Corvallis. The freshmen number 172; 50 of them are from Benton, and 43 from Corvallis. Subfreshmen number 42, and 6 of them, which Ls more than any other county furnishes, are from Benton; 4 from Corvallis. Special students num ber 55, 22 of them from Benton. 21 from Corvallis. Summing all the classes, in the aggregate 436, Benton furnishes 143, Cor vallis. 125. Other counties represented tail along as follows: Marlon, 43; Polk, 22; Multnomah, 21; Linn, 20; Yamhill. 19; Lane, 18; Wash ington, 15; Clackamas, 13; Douglas and Wasco, 12 each; Union, 10; Malheur, ; Lincoln, 6; Harney and Clatsop, 6 eacn; Gilliam, Crook and Umatilla, 4 each; Wal lowa and Coos, 3 each; Lake, 2, and Jack son, L The special objects of the stu dents may be judged by looking over the two most numerous classes. The 71 soph omores are 'distributed as follows: Me chanical and electrical engineering, 22; pharmacy, 11; agriculture, 11; household science, 27. In the freshman class, number ing 172, the engineers are In the lead again, numbering 52; pharmacy, 26; household science, 4S; agriculture, 36. The name Agricultural College ls mis leading and causes some critically disposed persons to grumble because all the male students are not farmers, and the females Intending to be farmers' wives; but the college, when directed to its true purpose, ls something more than a school of agri culture; It ls, In fact, a modified polytech nic school, and will show In Its annual catalogue such ratios of employment as correspond to the wants of society. That Is, if mechanical and electrical engineer ing pay young men better than farming, they will take that kind of college course Irrespective of the criticisms of outsiders, the wishes of college faculties or the reso lutions of regret. Formerly the Oregon Agricultural Col lege was apelng, though very impotently. a classical Institution, and therefore af forded but poor opportunities for young people desiring to be proficient In agricul ture, mechanics or related employments; but it Is proper to say that the college has got out of the old rut, and 13 giving gen eral satisfaction, except as to the dispro portionate representation of the counties therein. How that disproportion can be remedied or whether It is practicable to do so, ls yet to be determined. But we have often heard that "where there Is a will there ls a way," and there should be a will to remedy admitted defects. The college is in part supported by leg islative appropriations of money obtained by general taxation, and people contribut ing to this fund are not to be blamed for desiring that the benefits arising tiiere from shall be proportionately distributed The appropriations have ' been regularly made, but the Legislators from the coun ting racolvlno- little or no diroct borwafita SQsScfe Gendron" Carriages and GoCarts 40 styles Prices from $4.25 to $40 (Third floor.) yrirzpiJ(. m&4fa-XZ4d(?- -ytZif(' Boys' Clothing SJoySS : and Norfolk Blouse Suits for boys New colors New style trim mings Handsomely make and very reasonably priced The best boys' clothing: store in town is here.

They have said that it is a local school, and should be supported by those who re ceive its benefits. Some have called it a Corvallis school, and there ls a sharp point in tho allega tion. Now, as a starter, I suggest that tne Legislature appropriate, a sufficient sum. may be, say $2000, $3000 or 54000. to be spent t by the college faculty in transportation, so that students from a distance may be put on an equal footing with the residents of Corvallis. It may be said that such an appropria tion would be special legislation, or un constitutional, objections which are often urged by those who are not beneficiaries, but If the school ls to be supported at all by state aid. then an appropriation which would give all the inhabitants of the state an equal opportunity to its benefits, can not be far from right. T. W. DAVENPORT. i Cities 1b RnIa. ' Boston Herald. It Is estimated that the population of the Russian Empire ls now about 130, 000,000. while that of our own country ls only about 78.000.000. In Russia the people are scattered over 8,660,395 square miles, while in the United States our population is contained In 3.602,950 square miles. The greater density of the pop ulation of the United States, in compar ison with Russia, ls also brought out by the number of cities with over fiO.OOO in habitants in the two countries. Ac cording to the figures of the last cen sus, there were 54 cities in the Russian Empire that had a population of over 50,000, while In the United States there were 78 cities In this class. Dividing all the cities of over 50,000 inhabitants into three classes, first those with over 150.000 Inhabitants, second, those between 100,000 and 150,000, and third, those be tween 100.000 and 50,000, makes the differ ence even more noticeable. In tho first class there aro 24 cities In the United States, running from New York to Rochester. In Russia thero are 11, run ning from St. Petersburg to Tashkent. Now York, Chicago and Philadelphia are larger than St. Petersburg, though both Moscow and Warsaw are larger than St. Louis, the fourth city In tho United States. In the second class there are 14 cities In tho United States, running from Denver to Scranton. while there are only 8 In this class in Russia. In the last class there are 40 cities In the United States, running from Lowell to Port land, while there are 25 cities In Russia that come Into this class. Thus, al though our population ls quite a little smaller '.than that of Russia, we have exactly twice as many cities with popu lations of over 100,000 as has the great Norihern Emplro. your welcome message.
