THE REGISTRAR, State College, Pennsylvania
COUNTRY LIFE CONFERENCE.
Four Members of Our Faculty to
Speak at Important Meetings.
Every phase of country life will
be discussed at the Country Life
Conference to be held at Philadel
phia on Thursday, P'riday and Sat
urday of this week under the man
agement of the Pennsylvania Rural
Progress Association.
The object of this conference is
to bring before farmers, business
men and educators the prevailing
•conditions in the agricultural dis
tricts of our state, regarding the
•need of educational and social op
portunities and business facilities.
Also to form many small rural
progress associations so that many
changes may be produced in the
rural distsicts. The association con
siders churches and schools as the
nuclei of the social opportunities of
the rural districts and thus the dis
cussions on rural schools and
churches will play an important part
in this conference.
Among the many prominent
speakers of the state who will make
addresses at these meetings, there
are four from our own college. Dr.
Sparks is chairman of the confer
ence committee which is composed
of many prominent men such as
President James McCrea of the
Pennsylvania Railroad, N, C.
Schaeffer, Superintendent of Public
insticntions in Pennsylvania and
Gifford Pinchot.
Mayor Blankenburg will give the
address of welcome at the opening
meeting. At other meetings of the
conference Dr. Hunt will speak on
educational questions concerning
rural life; Prof. Van Norman will
address the conference an “Move
ments in Agricultural Extension,"
and Prof. Agee will discuss “Rural,
Social and Religious Conditions.”
The fact that our institution is
represented by four speakers in a
conference promoted by the fore
most business educators and
agriculturists of the state will surely
establish a reputation for Penn State
and its faculty among the many
guests, not only from this state,
but also from other southern and
western states, who will attend the
conference.
Jacob Riis Here Next Saturday and
Sunday.
Roosevelt called Jacob Riis, "The
;Most Useful Citizen in New York,”
md he is making good in that ca
pacity. Jacob Riis will tell in his
■illustrated lecture on Saturday night
of the "Battle of the Slums,” such
as he saw it as a police reporter of
the New York Sun. He will also
speak on Sunday morning. He has
been active in tenement house and
school reform, also promoter of the
small parks and playgrounds. He
has written, “How the Other Half
Lives, I’hc Making of an Ameri
can,” "Children of the Tenement,”
'Theodore Roosevelt the Citizen."
He is the founder of the Jacob Riis
Settlement in New York City. Mr.
Riis is from Denmark and the story
his rise is fascinating. He wins
tnstant favor when he begins his
lecture, “I am looking for God in
l he image of my fellow men.”

Rarmi Nous Society in Room K of
the Library, on Sunday at 2:30.

DR. HUNT ON LECTURE TRIP.
Speaks at Massachusett’s Agricul-
tural College.
The Massachusett’s Agricultural
College in Amherst is holding a
"Farmers’ Week” at which promi
nent agricultural authorties fram all
parts of the country are in atten
nance making addresses.
The Bostan Herald says: “The
big address of the week was given
Monday, March 11, by Dr. Thomas
F.Hunt, Dean of the school of Agri
culture at the Pennsylvania State
College. His subject was "How to
Make the Country Life Movement
Effective". Dean Hunt is an
authority on agricultural matters,
and the college is very fortunate in
securing him to this state for a
lecture”.
Tribute From a Yale Man.
The following is a copy of a let
ter received by President Sparks
from a personal friend, at New
Haven, Connecticut.
After listening to your remarks at
the Congress of two years ago in
Nesv York, there can be no doubt
that everything having to do with
undergraduate life is of unusual in
terest to you. For this reason I
wish to extend my heartiest con
gratulations upon the victory of the
Penn State Wrestling Team over
Yale's —the bulliest bunch of wrest
lers I know, and wrestling is one of
my hobbies. I'm in the wrestling
room nearly every afternoon.
While talking with some mem
bers of our team this afternoon
they—the men who were beaten—
told me that the Penn State bunch
is a wonder, and, you know, you
won from us last year. I very
much regret that I could not get
away with the team to see the
match. I always want Yale to win,
of course, but I am enough of a
sport to take delight in seeing the
best men win,
Landscape Gardening Notes.
At the last meeting of the land
scape gardening society, Prof.
Gregg lectured on the Subject,
"Municipal Parks", their Attainment
and Development.
The meeting was largely attended
and the presence of the sophomores
who have recently elected the sub
ject together with the "feed" at
the close of the meeting added
materially to the pleasure of all.
