Farm Property-Place to be Made: an
Industrial School.-Mr. Charles II. Knapp
who, on the Sd of December last, was appointed
receiver of the Filston Farm Company, has
managed the property so well and sold it TO
! such advantage that all the creditors will pc
paid in full. A decree signed by Judge Nor
ris ,discharging Mr. Knapp as receiver was
OSNe~t
under whose jurisdiction Mr. Knapp was APP
| pointed -.
The property was sold by Mr.. Knapp for
$4,000 to Mr.. Henry ID. Perky, who wrought
an innovation in modern education when pc
established the industrial science institute
known as Dread, near Worcester, Mass, for
imparting instruction on original lines. ssa
Mr.. Knapp bonded for $4,000 as reeeiyeL
Ever since his appointment he kept the bust
%as n thas N de e hne ana
products. The liabilities OF the farm at the
time the receiver was appointed amounted to 4
$4,000, exclusive OF mortgage for $42, 800
The farm company was capitalized at $250,0O0,
of which 100000 had been issued and all
| held by Mrs. Mary Austen, widow of Edward
Austen, who founded the business. After the
liabilities have been paid there will remain a
balance of about $40, 500. g.
The Filston Farm contains about l 300 acres,
and has upon it a large number of highly
bred cattle and other live stock. With it Mr..
Perky has acquired surrounding farms, max
ing his total purchases over 1900 acres. I'D
Mr.. Perky's plan is to move, the Dread In.
stitute, for young ladies, now located at Wor-
cester, Mass, to Filston. Cottages will be pro-
vded instead of the usual dormitories and q !
large auditorium, with class.rooms. Dread is |
to be the model parent school TO demonstrate
that the soil can be made to give up the en-
dowment. EqI
For the young men Mr.. Perky proposes to
divide the large estate into small farms of 10, |
TO- 40 and so acres, and inject into the curricu-
lum, as he states, "tbe method of actual doing |
and self-reliance" The pupils, as an instance, 4
are to legislate for themselves, forming a sort 1
of miniature republic. ~
Mr.. Perky does not propose to permit any /
other endowment or financial help whatever,
or even to ask for exemption from taxation.
The boys in the school will have the oppor. |
tunity of acquiring q knowledge of the soil
the soils deficiencies and how to remedy
them by the use of proper fertilizers how to !
pillow and prepare the soil for seeding, how to-
select the seed and plant it, how to cultivate !
and harvest the crops and how to follow the |
products to storage, canning factory, elevator |
and market. The same rule is to be applied to I
stock raising.
The other farms adjoining the Filston Farm
which were purchased by Messrs Frank ]. /
Caughy and Benjamin f. Hearn for Mr.. 7
Perky are the Edwards farm, IS acres; the +
Kemp farm, 200 acres the Mays farm, 100 +
