^O ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



We do more work in opening up new subjects, I think, than ever before. 

 We do not pretend to be all-wise. If this Association comes to the con- 

 «cliisiou that there ought to be another subject offered there, they ought 

 stor let us' know and let us hear from them, and if it is possible under the 

 ^fiinds that we have, we will do it. 



I thank you for this opportunity to come before you in this way and 

 fteli you about these things and tell you what we are trying to do. 



DISCUSSION. 



Q. How is it possible for one boy from every community to get a 

 ^cliolarship. 



A. At the request of the State Farmers' Institute these scholarships 

 are given to the first 7 congressional districts, making 100 scholarships 

 altogether. Now these scholarships will not be given by the board until 

 ^hey have been assigned by this Farmers' Institute by the executive com- 

 imittee. The executive committee will not recommend the scholarship 

 aintil recommended by the directors of his congressional district. You 

 :a.re in a certain congressional district. Let him write to his director, if 

 'Me knows who he is. His Farmers' Institute Director in his congress- 

 ional district. If he don't know he can write to us at the University or 

 ^irrite directly to A. B. Hostetter at Springfield, and he will tell who he 

 3s- Has he got to pass an examination-*" No. All he has to do is to 

 ^rrite this director of the Farmers' Institute, and he must satisfy the 

 ■^executive committee of the Farmers' Institute that he is 16 years old, 

 .-and that the people in his neighborhood believe in him. He must have 

 a, letter of recommendation. He must convince this Farmers' Institute 

 officer that he is the one kind oi a boy that should have the scholarship. 

 There are a few left yet, and if any one wants to he must be getting 

 ;after one. If the one is taken in his community, he can be assigned to 

 another community.
