COMPENSATED AND UNCOMPENSATED  
LABOR.  
The work necessary for carrying on the Agricul- 5
tural and Horticultural operations of the College is done .
by the students in those departments, and is paid for at
rates varying from five to eight cents per hour. Its
design is two—fold: to put in practice the instruction re- `
. ceived in the class—room, and to assist indigent students.
_ The experience of this College is that of Agricultural
Colleges generally—that compensated labor is not re-
` munerative to the College.
