A. JOHNSON submitted to the governor of Wiscon sin, January, 1901. The report cov ered the work done in seconuary agri cultural education in the various states of the t’nion, also different countries in Europe. At the conclusion of this report. Dr. Harvey, the commissioner, recommended that, through legislative enactment, authority be given the county boards of supervisors to estab lish and maintain schools, to be known as county schools, for instruction in agriculture and domestic economy, and that state aid be given to these schools when organized and established on a basis to be approved by state au thority. He also recommended a course of study that he considered most suitable for these schools. The legislature of 1901 passed a law embodying the re commendations of Dr. Harvey, and permitted the establishment of two schools. This law has since been amended to permit the establishment of ten schools. These schools are free Students Removing Stumps With Dynamite. PROBABLY no movement in education has received as much attention in the past few years as has that which pertains to the practical phases of farming and home making. The importance of this movement can easily be seen when consideration is given to the decreasing fertility of agricultural lands in the United States during the last twenty years, and the relative decrease in farming popula tion. From recent investigations it was found that probably 60,000,00(1 people live in cities and 31,000,000 re main on the farm, when only a few years ago the bulk of the population resided in the farming districts. Formerly when free land was abundant and the soil fertile, little difficulty was experienced in the grow ing of crops. At that time, also, prac tically all the food and much of the clothing used by the farmer and his family were produced in the home, the homes themselves being built from trees in the neighboring forests. Now these conditions have changed mater ially. Most of the Industries have been taken away from the farms and are now found in factories throughout the United States. And while these changes show advancement, and this advancement is to be welcomed, at the same time it has taken away from Machine Sewing Class in a County School idly vanishing in the rural homes of I America. Wisconsin was the first state in the Union to organize a county school of agriculture and domestic economy. The early history of secondary agri cultural education in Wisconsin dates | back to 1899, when the sate legis lature appointed a commission to “in ! vestigate and report upon the methods to inhabitants of the county, who are qualified to pursue the course of study, • provided they shall have at least the qualifications required for completion of the course of study for common i schools. Secondary agricultural education is largely adapted to the conditions found in the counties where such schools are 1 located. Special efforts are made to furnish additional opportunities for schooling to the 94 out of every 100 ! rural and urban school schildren who would otherwise finish their education with the common schools. These county schools are, strictly speaking, agricultural trade schools and have for their sole object the educating of the farmers' boys and girls who do not wish to take up an extensive col lege course, but who are anxious to get that form of training which will be most useful to them when they take charge of the home farm or the farm home. The school is made the edu cational center of the community, and the farmers are free to call upon it for assistance in any line of work per taining to farming and home making.

Students Constructing a Concrete Silo. | j the home a kind of training which is essential to the full development of the individual for successful home : building. The realization of the edu cational loss occasioned by the trans fer of these domestic industries to i factories in cities and the growing need I of something to take their place in the i educational system, has brought about ! the establishment of practical schools of agriculture and domestic economy. In many of the states throughout the Union thoughtful educators have come to realize the importance of de veloping the rural phases of industrial education. With this object in view, many states have established and | others are considering the establish ment of secondary; schools of agricul ture and domestic economy. Of the more firmly established schools of this nature may be mentioned the congres sional district agricultural schools of Georgia and Alabama, the judicial district agricultural schools of Okla homa. the four district agricultural i schools of Arkansas, the agricultural | high schools of California. Minnesota and New York, and the country agri cultural schools of Wisconsin and Michigan. All of these schools have one common object, that of dignifying farm labor and teaching boys and girls the industries which are now so rap Cooking Laboratory in a County School. of procedure in this and other states and counties, in manual training and in the theories and art of agriculture in the public schools.

The town of Peronne, not far from Amiens, has had the distinction of be ing decorated with the L«gion of Hon or and can now place the cross so much sought after by every French man in its coat of arms and on its seal. Peronne has two memorable sieges ' to its credit, the first in 1536 and the other during the Franco-Prussian war. During the siege of 1536 Estour nel, governor of the town, held out for more than a month against the Comte de Nassau, lieutenant of the Emperor Charles V. At the end of that time Nassau gave up the seige. The siege of Peronne during the war of "soixante-dix" was one of the blood iest in history. Tip Prussians sur rounded it on November 30, 1870, and the town held out until Japuary 9, when with half the town in flames, no ! means of fighting the fire, not to men- i j tion the lack of food and drinking wa- I | ter, it capitulated. The fire was so intense that the bells in the church towers were melted * and the stacked silver pieces in the ! bank were turned into ingots. Six hun i dred and seventy houses were de stroyed by fire and shells, while 3,000 soldiers and citixens were taken pris oners.—N. Y. Sun. Tasmania boasts the richest tin mines in the world. Skin Food of Old. Something there is in the composi i tion of mutton which causes it to impart a baby-pink to the complexion | and a fine, velvety texture to the skin. This is supposedly the secret of the | matchless complexions of the English ' woman, tor no others eat mutton so generously as they. And in the dis tricts where mutton is consumed most extensively the prettiest complexions are found. Nor is this true of Eng land alone, but everywhere a mutton diet goes with surpassing complex ions.

The largest ice cave in the world is in the Dachstein mountains of Aus tria. It is one of a group of grottoes discovered not vet thoroughly ex plored 1 The ice cave, because off its unique character, has, however, been given more attention than the others. This latter is 6.500 feet long and there are some enormous and otherwise re markable ice formations. It is rare occasion indeed when ice is not mak ing in this cave, and a cessation takes place only when a prolonged spell of warm rain penetrates into these depths, when the ice shows a slight tendency to melt. The cave consists of one great hall with icy walls and ice dome covered with grotesque forms. One of these halls, is 306 feet in length, 231 feet in width and 116 feet in height, which is notable for the remarkable formations, but the largest hall is known as King Arthur's dome, which is 660 feet long, 330 feet wide and 100 feet high. There is an underground river ofj ice passing through the care and at its foot is a lake. Some rocks found in the river bear indications of having been brought dovjji to these depths from the central Alps. SCALP ITCHED AND BURNED 833 South Scioto St, Circleville, Ohio-—“My little girl’s trouble first started on her head in a bunch of lit tle pimples full of yellow-looking mat ter and they would spread in large places. In a short time they would open. Her scalp was awfully red and inflamed and the burning and itching were so intense that she would scratch and rub till it would leave ugly sores, j The sores also appeared on her body, and her clothing irritated them so that I had to put real soft cloth next to her body. She would lie awake of nights and was very worrisome. At times she was tortured 'with itching and burning. "I tried different remedies with no benefit for months. I had given up all hope of her ever getting rid of it, then I concluded to try Cuticura Soap and Ointment. The second application gave relief.

Y. and New Castle, Ind., 1905 to 1913 Also to all Owners of Stoddard-Dayton, 1905 to 1914; Columbia Gasoline and Electrics, 1906 to 1914; Everitt Cars of Any Model; Brush, Sampson and Courier Cars THEREARETHREE GOOD REASONS why you should have your car overhauled now and worn parts replaced. FIRST: The garage man can give you better service —and you can spare the car better now than later. No matter whether you are going to keep the car, or sell or trade it in on a new one—it will pay you well to have it thoroughly over hauled, worn parts replaced by new ones and body re painted. SECOND: We are able to furnish replacement parts for all models of above makes of cars within 48 hours from receipt of or der. Have concentrated this branch of the business at Newcastle, Ind. (center of population of the U. S.) Here we have a $1,750,000 investment in plant and stock. 45,000 separate bins of parts. THIRD: And perhaps the best reason why you should secure your requirements now—we must increase prices 20% January 1st, when the new parts price lists will be off the presses. NOW NOTE THIS—Never before in the history of this industry has a new con cern, having bought the plants and assets of a bank rupt one, taken upon itself the obligation of furnishing replacement parts for the cars it never made. THE MAXWELL MOTOR COMPANY DID. We considered it good business, even if not a moral or legal obligation. WE FOUND 122,000 owners out in the cold, as it were —pleading for parts. Their cars laid up and useless in most cases. WE’VE INVESTED about one and three-quarters mil lions ($1,750,000) dollars in a plant and stock of parts, for over 150 different mod els, made by the concerns that comprised the United States Motor Company, whose assets we purchased from the Receiver thru the y. S. Courts. WE TOOK THE NAME MAXWELL solely for the protection of 60,000 persons who had bought cars under that name. HAD WE CHOSEN AN OTHER NAME those 60, 000 cars would have had almost no value in the sec ond-hand market. As it is, they have a definite value. And by the replacement of the worn parts your car will be good for a long time to come. ANY REC O G N IZ E D DEALER or repair man— whether he handles the present Maxwell line or not —can procure these parts for you. Or you can order direct.
