Ho will uirlve. here January hi and will spend tho tun weeks before tlu beginning of the second semester of school work lit helping Su perintendent C. W. MeMiclmil and the members of the school board arrange tho new courso in detail. The board en deavoied to find u Nebraska-educated man filled to take chargo of the new course, but, b.-lng unable to do so, se lected Mr. McMillan, who Is said to be excellently qualified for the position. l liiiicnotn Is Kliimplr. Tiie new department W114 lust created !n the mind of Superlnti ndetit McMlehael, who Is one of the mot progressive school men of the mate, and who has watched tho success of tho Minnesota, experi ments from their inception four years ago. In order to satisfy themselves fully as to the merits of the agricultural de partment in high school work, tho bourd of education ihreo weeks ago sent Sup erintendent McMlehael and A. W. Daniel son, of tha board, to Albert Lea, the birth place of the ninvcmeut In Minne sota, to see what has been accomplished In the high school there. These men ro turned very enthusiastic over what they had Been and learned, and upon their recommendation the board has Just clo dded to lose no time In getting the plan into operation during the second sem ester. Work Will lie Practical. The new courses wilul be made Intensely practical, some of them being co-ordinated with the manual training course Just established in the local school last fall.
