A PRACTICAL FARM SCHOOL
1T IS AN UNIQUE INSTITUTION.
Located Near POuEhkeepslc, N. "

A Practical observation-disclosures
Men ut Head of It-Their Views on
the Proposition.

New York, June 10-The signing of
contracts within a few days for the
purchase for the School of Practical
Agriculture of Is acres of land near
Poughkeepsie marks the beginning of
movement for the permanent estab-
lishment near New York of what the
promoters call one of the most unique
educational institutions in the country.
Less than two years ago number Of
citizens prominent in political and so
cial life met at the residence of Abram
S. Hewitt and r, Fulton Cutting and
formed themselves into an organiza-
ton for establishing, eXperimentally,
school where the practice as well as
the theory of farming could be taught.
Professor George T. Powell, a recog-
niZed authority on scientific agricult-
ure, undertook the charge of the school
and number of prominent persons
agreed to finance the project in it's ex
perimental stages.
The original committee on promo
ton, of which Mr.. Hewitt was chair
man, included r. Fulton Cutting, Jacob
II. Schiff, John G.. Carlisle, Mrs. Seth
Low, Mrs. Josephine Shaw Lowell,
Walter w. Law and William e. Dodge.
The original school establishment at
Blair Cliff Manor was provided by the
generosity Of Mr.. Law, who also fur
nished a building to accommodate 35
students and the necessary staff The
success of the school was immediate
and the Originators then concluded to
extend the facilities. The board of
trustees was then organized with the
following officers;
Theodore l.. Van Norden, president;
Abram S. Hewitt and William e.
Dodge, vice presidents; r. Fulton Cut
ting, treasurer and T. p. Luquer, sec
rotary.
In speaking of the school President
Van Norden said:
aside from my official connection
with the school | have taken a deep
interest in its progress. We have
demonstrated | think, beyond a doubt
that there is need and opportunity for
a practical farming school in this coun-
try on the plan carried out by our di-
I rector, Mr.. Powell. Our need now is
money resources for the equipment
Of the foundation of a school at Pough-
keepsie, and when this equipment is
! completed we will need contributions
to a fund for the endowment of the
school,"
Mr.. Hewitt said; 'Tf those who are
friends of practical education and of
general social betterment could real
ize as we do the great needs and great
er opportunities of this school, be-
ieve that we would have little diff
fculty in obtaining that generous
| financial support that at this time
! seems necessary to insure the estab-
lishment of this institution upon
basis commensurate with the extent
| and Importance of the work it has to
do"
William E. Dodge said: amy Amer
lean who has travelled in France and
| has witnessed the thrift and order of
those smaller communities where ag-
riculture is probably practiced must
welcome the application to our soil of
the methods which have made the sue
cessful farmer abroad"

John E. Moen, a shoveler at the
Rarus mine, at Butte, was the victim
of frightful accident last week while
working on the sill floor of the 100
foot level. He was instantly killed by
the explosion of a stick of giant pow
der, which he struck with his pick
while loosening quantity of rock be-
fore shoveling it into car.
Since the recent discovery of a gold
bearing porphyry dixie at Tyson, Idaho,
the camp has been attracting consider
able attention among Spokane mining
men. The indications are that a new
camp has sprung into existence that
will add materially to the wealth of
Idaho and eastern Washington. It's
friends are enthusiastic in their belief
that Tyson is destined to become one
of the most important gold producing
camps in the Pacific northwest.
