LINCOLN APPROVES OF AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE IN NORTH

DIRECTOR SAYS ROOM .. FOB TWO INSTITUTIONS (Pei Press Association). CHRISTCHURCH, Hast Night. A hint that the position of Lincoln College will not ho adversely affected by the proposal to establish a similar Institution in the North Island was given by the director of the College. Mr. Alexander, iin addressing South Canterbury farmers visiting the College' to-day. While the exact outcome of negotiations was still a confidential matter, said Mr. Alexander, he was able to say that Lincoln College would not be left out in the cold. He felt there was room for another college in the country. Every kind of condition could not be studied in one. Lincoln College had never made such a claim. If it was not judicious to teach dairying in the dry lands of Canterbury it was not advisable to teach aratile farming in Taranaki. He was satisfied that the aiyangements made would satisfy the majority of Canterbury people.
