No man is so wise that he can't
learn from fool.
Love is blind, especially the brand
known as self-love.
But few men exhibit their bravery
until after the danger is past.
Man is born with a character, but he
has to make his own reputation.
Buy what you don't need and later on
you will sell what you do need.
A lazy man is always anxious to
get busy when there is nothing to do.

WOMEN AS AGRICULTURIsTs

American women pride themselves
on the advantages they possess in the
multiplicity of business opportunities
open to them; but, despite Americas
observation-disclosures in this, Russia has
had the courage to go step further
and establish an Agricultural High
School for Women. Here opportunity
will be given for general courses in ag-
riculture or specialized training, as
dairy farming, gardening, bee culture,
poultry keeping, cattle and sheep rails
ing, etc. The course OF instruction
will occupy three years, and an equiv
alent grammar school education Will
be required rs an entrance quallfcO-
ton. The women who pass through
the school successfully win be eligible
for filling various posts under the Min
istry Of Agriculture, and win be further
entitled to hold the positions Of nd
minlstrators OF the Crown domain and
Of teachers In the intermediate agri-
cultural schools,
