Nothing Given for Fairs
in the State.
is LEFT TILL JUNE
For State Museum Specimen 5000
Voted as These May Possibly Go to
New England But This and Fair
Premium Question are in the
Air Till Iune.

One of the important steps taken
yesterday at the closing December
meeting of the State Board of Agri-
culture was to increase the price of
board for students at the A. & NJ.
College.
The rate has been $500 a month for
meals and room, but of late it has
been found that these figures mean a
deficit, which is said to be between
$1,000 and 1900. In order that the
boarding department might meet ex-
penses the Board of Agriculture yes
terday voted to increase the rate of
board from $500 and make it $1,000
month.
The Board again yesterday discussed
the matter of a portable exhibit of
North Carolina to be used in the New
England fairs in the fall of 1906, but
took no action except to vote to spend
$500 to secure specimens for the State
Museum that will be available to send
to New England if at the June meet
ing it is determined to send an exhib-
it to that section, this entirely de-
dendent uponf the financial condition
of the Board.
Nothing was done with regard to
the $3.50 which last year was offered
in premiums to farmers at the state
Fair, and which it IS now proposed
to make available for farmers who
desire to compete at any fair in the
State. Action on the matter was de-
ferred till the meeting of the Board
in June.
The Board voted 500 to be used to
aid the North Carolina Poultry Asso-
citation in increasing the usefulness of
the association. the amount to be used
under the direction of Commissioner
of Agriculture Patterson and DR.. b. w.
Kilgore.
The Board acted informally on the
proposition made to vote $50 to be
spcnt in rrizes of SIC each to go to
school children in the State for the
best work done in school gardens. 1t
was considered that this would not
produce the results aimed at. and that
with 1000 schools the matter would
become complicated.
Before adjournment a committee
was appointed this consisting of
Messrs. Cannon Scott. Dunn. and
Doughton was appointed to meet with
the Board of Visitors next May to con-
slider affairs of the a. and M. College.

Advance of swedish women.

The girls of Sweden within the last gen.
GRAFTON have entered fully into the move
ments for opening new careers to women,
and If one decides to prepare for y profess
sion, TO take w literature or art, or to
devote herself to some form of study or
research, no one is surprised now.
Last year there were in Sweden three
women doctors of philosophy and nine
doctors of medicine engaged in the practice
of their professions. There was also a
lady doctor of laws, who has been APP
pointed to a lecturership at the University
of Upsala Nine. Sonia Kovalesky, the
famous woman mathematician, was the
first woman appointed in sweden to a
university professorship.
Women are doing valuable work as MEM
bers of school boards and boards OF guar
dams they vote at communal elections
and engage in all sorts of social activi-
ties, with little $50 far as one can judge
of the asperity or self-consciousness which
has sometimes discredited the new
woman" movement in England.
Among living Swedish women writers
are two who have won fame beyond the
limits of their own country-Ellen Key,
as an essayist and lecturer, and Selma
Lagerlof, by those extraordinary and pow
erful stories, THE Legend of Costa Ber-
ling and Jerusalem" which reveal the
mythical and romantic side of rural Scan
dinavian life. - 1t is pleasant to note
that Swedish girls, healthy and vigorous
both in body and mind, have not lost that
charming politeness which is one of the
best traditions of their nation.
