graduates in agricultural colleges far exceeds
ment of the Ohio Agricultural College 200
graduated and all bnt two had positions that

tiating for something better.
. hope that can soon report that an agricul..
tnral branch has been added to the high school
that is contemplated being established at Fork
by Commissioner Arthur by consolidating all
the schools in the 18th district, between the
Big and Little falls. This can be easily done
and be just what is needed and what is now
enjoyed by the people in Ohio, an account
of which have been requested by one of the
School Commissioners to give for the benefit
of the readers of THE UNION, and which
will try to do in the near future.
Miss Grace Riddle has entered the Latin
School of the Woman's College of Baltimore;
