Wants Agricultural School
The school board of Iloldrege
has taken the lead in the inspec
tion of agricultural high schools
in other states with a view of es
tablishing such a school at Ilold
rege If this movement is suc
cessful other agricultural ldgh
sahools may be established in the
public schools of the state
Some fear that such a move
ment would interfere with the
itate seihccil of agriculture to be
catahtished at Curtis hut others
say there will be no conflict be
tween the proposed public high
jjihool of agriculture and the
state institution
The school beard of Iloldrege
has appointed A W Danielson
and Superintendent C W Me
Michael to inspect the agricultur
al school at Albert Lea Minn
and to report
The town of Holdrege was a
cconpeitiitor of Curtis for the state
school of agriculture but was not
successful in getting the board
of public lands and buildings to
give Iloldrege the institution
Now the school board of Hold
rege proposes to establish school
of its own Lincoln Journal
