COMMENTS OF THE :PRESS.
A \\'ORTHY Pl>Oj I'CT.
The Faculty of the Brigham \' oung Col­lege
have established a non-resident course of
study-leading to a diploma. Such a ven­ture
we think is calcluatecl to aid the cause of
education. It will <>nahle those who are un­able
to attend the college, to take a course of
collegiate insr•·uction. :Vbny school teachers
are ued t•> their ta~ks Juring the clay who
could devote evenings to other "ork .
Nothing would better employ their extra
time, nor wo1uld anything be of more advan­tage
to their schools or to the communit y,
than thus enabling them lo <lo this college
work. ll not o:1ly imwoves the1r time, but
it gives their ambitions a chance for life and
(\!)eS not suffer poverty or inc >~venience to
gradually smother their aspirations for higher
c;lucation.
Students living in Cache County'' ill have
their examinations at the College, but those
living at too great a clis1ance will be examin­erl

To these we would say
th:tt the habit of regular study

as differeut subjects are mastered
