New Department to he Opened This
Autumn.
A large and unspoiled natural forest
with varied fauna and flora, streams,
ponds, hills, plains and valleys, where stu
dents Of forestry may live and in the
course of their studies take part in the
culture and commercial administration OF
the tract. is what Harvard will offer to
its students Of forestry as soon after the
opening of the next college year as they
have had time to gain in the class room a
few essential preliminaries of their work.
From about October until we'll into De-
cember and again In the spring for two
months the classes in the forestry depart
ment will live IN the forest OF Petersham,
a large tract of fine natural woodland
situated in one of the most delightful
regions Of western Massachusetts.
The village OF Petersham, near which lies
Harvard's new forest tract, Is remote from
the din OF the world and reached by an
old stage line running from a distant rail-
way station. Tn forest lies within an
Irregular quadrilateral bounded by four
railway lines, no one OF which is at any
point as near as five miles. The nearest
railway station is six miles distant.
For three miles along the valley of the
Swift river and on both sides of the stream
extends the forest. 1t includes what 4,

ing between 1O,O0O,Oo0 and 100000 boar
feet of marketable timber, nearly nine
tenths of which is white pine, an article
nowadays sufficiently rare in the southern
New England states.
Some Of the pines are four feet In diam

GERMAN TRADE SCHOOLS.
Surprising Feature of the Empires
Educational system.

Surprising Feature of the Empires
Educational system.
Those who are active in the movement
for trade schooling may study with ad-
vantage some of the German methods OF
dealing with the matter. The sentiment OF
the need and value of thorough trade
training is in the German people and finds
expression in the action OF all the public
authorities, state, municipal and imperial.
An institution existing in AlsRce-Lcrraine
is an example. II is described in a recent
report of Consul William j. Pike of Kehl.
In addition to the excellent trade schools
and the requirement of long apprentice
ships, courses have been established for the
instruction of master workmen." These
embrace a great variety of trades-tailors,
bookbinders, painters, housesmiths, plumb
ers, timers, carpenters, cabinetmakers,
potters, paperhangers, and even the appar-
emily modest trade of well-diggers. To gain
the advantages OF these courses, appll-
cants must have had a certain experience
and must give proofs of a certain degree
of skill and aptitude. After admission they
receive practical and theoretic instruction
and training not only In the actual exer-
else OF their craft according to the most
approved methods, but also in the nature
end cost of materials, in the principles Of
cognate occupations, in estimating and de-
signing. or in the aesthetic relations OF
their work. Housesmiths and plumbers, for
example, are instructed in the use OF cleo
triclty and gas for lighting. in the art of
wiring, in the requirements Of sanitation,
etc. Tailors are taught the invention of
patterns, the relations q %colors, the quail
ties Of fabrics. When the courses are COM
pleted the student receives the right to use
the title of "Meister," and that carries
with it a guarantee of efficiency authorita-

sible-we can hardly complain that the
work often drags. Our chief criticism Is
that in so many cases no provision Is
made for promoting the bright children
more rapidly. They are held back In a
lock-step with the rest. The boy who
can easily complete the program for three
years in two or two and a half. and who
would profit largely by moving ahead
quickly, is not allowed to break the ranks.
He is under no stimulus to exert himself
and do his best. As = result, he dIwdles
and forms thoroughly bad habits Of APP
plication, habits which may cling to him
and clog him through life"

BOOKS ARE WANTING
SCHOOLS OF COUNTY ASK FOR NEW
 ONES.
Inaufrfes To Montgomery Depository Indicate That County schools Are without New Text
 Books Adopted.

It became evident yesterday that some of the public country schools or Montgomery county are embarrassed by the lack of new textbooks. Notwith- standing the law promised that the new books would be available In every county of the State for every school by September i, 1t is fiction thus far with some of the pupils and teachers,
 The result is that the schools had to open yesterday without the new books. They began with the old books. but with Encouragement too. as they real ized that as soon as the new ones come they must be immediately taken up and used. the old ones being dis arded.
 The Montgomery Fair manager of the book department said yesterday that they had received inquiries for books from the country precincts where they were not to be secured. This condi- ton is reported to have prevailed at Pike Road and Nit Meigs The Fair is only retailing the books henceforth in accordance with the new state ar engagement fer distribution. There fore. they turn down all orders at wholesale prices for shipments outside the city.
 It is hard to say when the other de- positorfes outside Montgomery will bc stocked with the nece ssary books to supply all country schools There Is a penalty. which. it Is believed, will ulti- mately rest on the publishers, for avery day during which a full supply of book is wanting at any one of three deoositories which must be es- tablished in every county. The penal ty is S5 day. It Is believed that this will serve to rush the books to the counties from Loveman. Joseph and Loeb. of Birmingham. the managers of the state depository.
 The rush for buying books in the City of Montgomery will not get well underway until about next Monday when the schools open Then some hurly buriy scenes are expo cted. fn- deed. if the situation of last year re- peats itself. It is the usual case of everybody trying to buy at the same time.
 It was announced positively that the old books which are exchangeable for the new are only those of a like grade on the same subject. The old books must have been in use at the time of the adoption of the new books by the Fext Book Commission or at the time of the approval of the act creating the Commission.

President Finley Points Out
 Value of Cotton and Oil

Washington. Sept. 21.,-(Special. )- President Finley. of the South ern Rail- way Company, has addressed letter to some of the leading cotton seed of manufacturers of the South. calling their attention to q recent Consular report which points out an excellent opportunity for broadening the market for cotton seed oiI 10 tha advantage of both the manufacturer and ha eot- ton grower.
 In this report Special Agent Perkins shows that. although the flavor of sar- dimes packed in cotton seed oil is pro- nounced by experts superior to those packed in olive oil. American buyers will not pay as much for them and Norwegian packers are thus deterred from using cotton seed oil
 President Finley suggests that ef- forts be made to educate the consum- CTS of this country to an appreciation of sardines packed in cotton seed oil. thus building up an American demand for them. His letter is as follows:

RUMORS OF IDLENESS
 HAD ADVERSE EFFECT

Spots Dropped Below Nine Cents On
 Depressing English Reports.
 It was rumored yesterday that half { the spindles in the cotton factories of Manchester. England, were. idle be- cause of a strike of the operatives. The rumor, at the time not being either authoritative1y confirmed or denied. knocked the spots out of futures, and made the immediate future of spots doubtful. Futures fell headlong, drop ping ten points from Saturdays clos Ing figures, and closing yesterday at SITS.
 The effect of the rumor was felt strongly in the southern spot marts, in Montgomery middling cotton dropped below nine cents for the first time since the great Birmingham meeting. The price here being offered was S l5-16. Strict middling did not fare much better, slipping back to just one sixteenth over nine cents. The result of the whole thing was that the spot market yesterday in Montgomery was duller than it has been since the first dark days of low prices Wagon trade was hardly noticeable. and shipped cot ton went in silent dignity to the store houses.

with a copy of Tn Daily Consular and Trade Reports for August tn. winch has just come to my attention.
 You may have seen it already, but, If not. I think you will be interested in the report of Special Agent Per- kins, which suggests interesting pos- sibilities as to the extension of the market for cotton seed products. I was particularly impressed with the evidence contained in his report tl,at cotton seed oil is fully as good es olive oil. If not superior to olive Gil. for use in packing sardines. IL seems. however that there is a prejudice in the American market against sarciiheH packed in cotton seed oil.
 May 1t not be possible for t.ls cot- ton seed oil manufacturers ct the South, through their organizations and in cooperation with the newspapers of our section. to carry on a campaign of education that will result in the creation of an American demand for sardines packed in cotton seed oil? It is possible that something of this kind is already being done. but if so it as not come to my attention"
