The Attendance. 



The Art Institute has a regular daily 

 attendance averaging 300 when 25 

 cents admission is charged. On the 

 opening day of the show this was in- 

 creased to over 1,000. The show is 

 open evenings. Because the regular 

 admission is 25 cents, that sum is 

 charged during the day, with 50 cents 

 at night, when the building ordinarily 

 is closed. The Art Institute has two 

 free days, Wednesday and Sunday, and 

 on these days no admission can be 

 charged to the flower show. 



Secretary J. H. Burdett stated that 

 on the free afternoon, Wednesday, over 

 6,000 people visited the show.

THE STATE COI/LEGES. 



What They Are Doing for the People. 



[A synopsiJ of a paper by Joseph Heacock, 

 read at the March meeting of the Florists' Club 

 of Philadelphia.] 



I enjoyed Farmers' week at State 

 College, Pa., December 27 to January 3, 

 so much that I wrote President Thilow 

 that if your essay committee thought 

 well of it I would be glad to tell the 

 Florists' Club about it. I now realize 

 that in so doing I bit off more than I 

 can chew. I have not been able, with 

 the time I have had at my disposal, to 

 write up the. matter as I should like to 

 have done. 



Dean Thomas F. Hunt told us how 

 little the great state of Pennsylvania 

 had done for her college in comparison 

 with what the other states had done 

 for theirs, and what the revenue from 

 the land grant of the national govern- 

 ment to the various states was com- 

 pared with that of Pennsylvania. I 

 subjoin a few figures: 



Amt. per 

 State. Grant. capita. 



California $2,729,55.1.."i5 $1.14 



Wisconsin I,«ti4,854.53 .71 



New York 1,64.3,792.25 .18

One is apt to think of the State Col- 

 lege only as agricultural, but such is 

 not the fact. There is the School of
