Tells of Visit to Farm Schools.


 State Superintendent of Public In- struction George B. Cook returned Thursday from his Eastern trip and is very much gratitied With it's results, State Superintendent Cook left Little Rock September $, accompanied by George w. Donaghey, governor-elect; !; J. x. Tillman. president of the Arkan- sas University, and Dr. Wallace Butt rick, secretary of the General Board of Education of New York The mission of the party was to visi: the principal agricultural colleges of the country, with the view of securing information that would assist them in promoting the establishment of similar institu- tions in Arkansas. They visited the State University of Wisconsin at Madison. and State Agricultural High School near St. Paul Minn., the Agri- cultural High School and Stout ln- ductrial Training School at Menomi- nee, Wis, and the Agricultural De partment of the Chicago University. After the arrival at Chicago, Presi- dent Tillman returned to Fayetteville. Mr. Donaghey remained in Chicago to attend the Lake-tothe-Gulf Deep Wa ter Convention, and Superintendent Cook and Dr. Buttrick continued their journey East, where they were the guests of the Southern Education Board during their visit to Ney York, Boston and Albany from October F to r.
 Speaking Of his visits to the agri- cultural schools, Superintendent Cook said that one of the best inspected was the one operated by the Uniyer- sity of Wisconsin.
 There are 4,500 students attending this institution" he said, which has been the greatest of all factors for producing wealth in that state. Wis consin is now producing annually S15,- 900, ,000 more corn, without increasing the acreage, than before the estab- lishment of this institution, all of which is ..Ce to it's practical teachings and demonstrations. IL has raised the standard of all kinds of live stock and added $10000,00O to the produc- tive energies of the dairymen of the state It has also stamped out Of Wisconsin tuberculosis, not single case being reported among live stock this year.
 The State Agricultural High School near St. Paul, siad Prof. Cook, is one of the greatest of the kind in the United States. It is attended by roo farmers boys and girls who are trained for home builders on the farm.
 Another great institution is the Stout Industrial Training School at Menominee, Wis. heavilv endowed by MT. Stout, of the Stout Lumber Com pany of Pine Bluff, Ark. This school has no superior anywhere. Ninety per cent of those who attend the Stout school become so much attached to agricultural pursuits that they return to tue farm, where they become eff cient wealth producers. All the agri- cultural schools we visited were a credit and an honor to the state in which they are established The sys- tenn of agricultural training in all has been developed to the highest point of efficiency + will be a great day for Arkansas when we can establish such institutions in this state"
