March, requiring the presence of stu
dents during six months only out of
twelve. and that at a time when, in
this latitude, there is little work to do
upon farm.
The cost of the course is scarcely
more than nominal-50 cents a day.,
including board and lodging. The en-
trance fee is SIS and the school ex-
pense for the year does not exceed
$S5. The cost to the student for
board, heat, light and laundry work is
usually less than SO week. Text
books are furnished at a rental of 81
to students that do not wish to buy
them.
Clothing will cost the student as lit
tie at school as he would expend at
home. All the boys wear navy blue
uniform made to measure for $1165

The site of the school, the buildings
and the adjacent farm lands, tender
first assurance that the training of a
student will be practical. The school
of agriculture, as most readers know,
is located at st. Anthony Park, on the
state university farm, three miles from
the main campus of the university, and
midway between st. Paul and Mime
apolis. The school campus occupies
a beautiful elevation close to the state
fair grounds and overlooking the Twin
Cities. There is an abundance OF
trees and shrubs around the artistic,
comrnodious brick buildings. The nu-
merous fields, scientifically laid our,

School is CoeducationaI
About to begin the serious study of
ideal farming, the new boy" is aware
that this will not mean isolation from
social life. His sister, whom he might
miss, can study with him. In 1897 it
was decided to make the agricultural
school coeducationaI. Plans were un-
dertaken to teach the farmers daugh-
learn most proftably.
Nearly all the students find lodging
at the school. In the boys dormito-
ries and in the ladies hail." large brick
buildings, the students occupy coy
rooms lighted by electricity and heat
ed by steam. The dining hall pro-
vides excellent and abundant food
amid comfortable surroundings. So
we'll cared for are the boys and girls
that there is even professional nurse
in constant attendance lest a student
should fall sick.
Three years of two terms each are
covered by the course of instruction at
the school,
During the first term, or three
months a boy takes agricultural bot

smithing, carpentry, military drill and
gymnasium exercises. He also takes,
with apologies to his father, "agricul-

A T this season of commandments,
~ when the many schools of the
Northwest are sending forth
their graduates, it is worth while to
recall that three months ago, long. be-
fore June, its roses and it's essays
were in the public mind, the gradual
Ing exercises were held at a unique
school of widespread influence-the
school of agriculture of the University
of Minnesota.
1t was the first school of its class in
the United States when it was estab-
hshed only sixteen years ago, and it
is still, no doubt, the best.
Before 1888 there had been many
agricultural colleges. They were valu-
able institutions. They did not, as a.
rule, justify the farmers criticism
against fancy theories and running
a farm by book But they did not
train boys to be farmers. For entering
such colleges the student needed the
equivalent of a full high school in
structIon. To complete the college
term the student was obliged to be
free from all other employment at an
age when his services were required
upon the farm. He had to be well
provided with money during his four
collegiate years And. finally. he
studied at the agricultural college the
advanced branches of theoretical farm
Ing; he had no opportunity to acquire,
by actual practice, the elements of
agriculture.
Not Practical Farmer
When, therefore, he completed his
studies he knew much that the prac-
teal farmer might learn to advantage
= but he was not himself a practical
farmer. He had no desire to go back
to the farm; he preferred to become
an Instructor, professor, at some agri-
cultural college, writer upon agri-
cultural topics, governmental employee
making agricultural Investigations.
The founders of the Minnesota agri-
cultural school, realizing the limita-
tons of the agricultural college. were
NOT discouraged. They believed that
II the practical farmer did not always
meet expectations his case was no
more hopeless than that of DR.. John
sons Scotchman-much might be
made of him, if only he was caught
young
TIC this end they organized a school
that would admit any graduate of an
ordinary grammar school; that would
occupy his time only during that sea-
son of the year when he was not
heeded on the farm; that would not
empty his purse; that would teach
him, above all. in a practical fashion.

Personal Extraordinary.

En- routr hCme from the St. Louis eX-
hibition Mr.. and Mrs. Roy l.. McCar-
dell. of New York, stopped i'll Frostburg
Wednesday evening and staid several
days
They were accompanied by Miss
Marie Budworth, Messrs. Alfred Pearsall
of the New York Associated Press, and
Gene Carr, specialist on the sketch staff
of the New York IiiorId.
Out here Roy is best known as the
humorist of the metropolitan Section
of the Sunday ITo,H, and ranks every
where as a newspaper fun-Dlaker OF the
the most popular acceptance. His work
bubbles over with mirthful incident and
is enriched by several variations of
dialect. Personally and socially, he is
the incarnation of good fellowship and,
once acquainted, he neither forgets nor
overlooks anyone.
All that Roy is in humorous text Gene
Carr is III humorous sketch. Even his
extrayaganzaS are marked throughout
by lines of the most delicate taste. If
the picture be "overdone,' it is en-
HANGED in interest He makes Il cat
view birthday cake, illuminated by
twelve candles, with an expression OF
human-lke wonderment and admira-
ton. He, too, is genial gentleman,
and though young, his fortune in his
talents and requirements is already
made.
Mr.. Pearsall is interesting i'll the fact
that he plays dual role. He is Il daily
news purveyor in the city, and the editor
of weekly i'll the country. Standing
on the latter altitute it may be put down
with safety that of the three Mr.. Pear
sail is the most practical. McCardell
and Carr work in realms Of fancy, Pear
sail in regions of prosaic fact. And he
clocks it," withal handsome gentle
man with good many young whiskers
among the gray.
To Roy Frostburg and vicinage arc
not new, but to his associates wonder
of scenic beauty which they hope to view
again with more time at command.

Negative Unanimity.


Councilman Grtiith's motion in the
peoples interest to have the Clerks report
published in the Hcr"M was passed unani-
Notwithstanding Sta, of Frostburg.
The motion to cut off the Belt Line
was also passed unanimously"
Was that "in the peoples interest: ~
If so, what particular "interest?'
The Ordinance establishing hog-pens
in the town of Frostburg was also
passed unanimously'-only the Mayor
heroically voting against and declining
to make it a law by signing 1t.
Was the unanimous vote of the
Councilmen i'll that instance cast ''in
the peoples interest"
If so. what "interest!"
But be those Interests whatever
they may, state explicitly at any rate
which of 1.-The peoples interests" was
subserved by publication of the Clerk 5
report in the Homecoming Stdr of
Frostburg.
If it was the halluclnation that the
people would thus see it, why ''pass
unanimously" also a motion to have it
profanely denominated "handbill'
that must be "struck' printed?
Insatiate striker, was not one hammer
stroke enough?
II it was sin the peoples interest to
publish the report i'll the Homecoming
Star of Frostburg on account of Il word
or even syllable ever printed i'll that
paper that was il benefit to ''the people 5

syllable.
The JOURNAL wants to have it photo
graphed and framed to hang i'll the
Council Chamber as the youngest, little
est and frailest municipal antique ever
devised for the delectation of newspaper
curiO-hunters.
But, gentlemen of the Council, this
whole business is reflection upon your
"unanimous" intelligence.
There ought to have been at least one
inquiry-Why the Homecoming star of
Frostburg?
There was room in this interrogatory
for some debate-positively none for Il
"unanimous" tumble" to Council
man who had "tumbled' to what he
SHOULD have treated as a piece OF
insolence.
Gentlemen, get move out of this sort
of thing-out of IL habit that has cost the
town an incalculable sum of money anc
not little humiliation.
Only children yield assent to requests
merely because they are made.

Flanagan pitched as he never pitched
before. Jackson gave him excellent
support, and his throwing to bases was
firstclass. The intield had plenty to do
and they did it well. Zimmerman,
Sinner Robinson and Will Spates
played the out-tield i'll masterful style.
Spates, in right, made a very sensational
catch that brought everyone on the
bleachers and the grand stand to their

For the visitors Paul Luther, the crack
pitcher, was on the slab, and it was no

five hits were made off him in the morn

Stuborio Brown on the slab it was ex-

a good showing if they shouldn't win.
To win three times in succession from
Metzners' hired men enormously known
as 1.-The Finishers," Is more than most
people who follow the game and know
ANYTHING about it could expect. But it
was not expected the whole team would
collapse as it did.
Brown started the game and showed he
has not lost his old-time cunning, though
sadly "out of form His good left arm
is all that can be wished for and if the
team behind him will only play ball he
will be there with his share of the goods.
In the fifth Rodebaugh, the Cumber-
land pitcher, hit Brown on the throwing
arm and he retired in favor of Flanagan,
who pitched all right, but his support
was "rOtten.
Mr.. Malone umpired and though he
seemed little over-worked, his decisions
were in the main satisfactory. Follow
