S8 MICHIGAN STATE AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE 



taught in every school in Michigan. I hope to live long enough 

 to see public trade schools established in the centers where the 

 state shall aid, not only in the education of the culture side, but 

 in that practical education that will train boys and girls to earn 

 a living and to do work with their hands. 



Training in agriculture, in the scientific knowledge of the 

 art of farming, will add more to the wealth of the state than 

 will all its copper and iron mines. Manual training and the 

 trade school will add infinitely to the skill of craftsmen and the 

 products of our factories. Domestic science will give us better 

 homes, better health, more comfort, and lasting happiness. 



This practical industrial training will amphfy and round 

 out the purely mind-studies and will make for the complete man. 

 This, to my mind, should be the great purpose of the states.
