SCHOOL FOR FARMERS
Schools of Agriculture Estab-
lished by State University

Several new lines of much need
ed work have recently been inau-
gurated by the Agricultural College
of the University of Idaho. Those of
special Importance to the AgTicui-
tural interests of the State include
provision for a number of what may
be termed Movable Schools of Ag-
siculture." This is really a develop
ment of the Farmers Institute work
Instead, however, of spending a day,
or two days at most with two or
three lectures in a locality the plan
of this work provides for a two
weeks course where eight or ten of
the most expert and practical men
in their various lines will give def
mite and positive instruction on the
various subjects of interest to the
farmers in that particular communi-
ty.
In order TO secure one of these
movable schools of Agriculture in
any locality it will be necessary to
secure the signatures of at least $50
farmers to a petition asking for a
school and pledging their attendance
thereat together with the payment
of $500 fee to aid in covering ex-
penses of the course.
A suitable hall or building
ing with heat and light must be pro-
yidGd for the accommodation of the
school
Che most essential thing is that
the Commercial Clubs, the farmers,
business men, the women, the coun-
ty school Superintendent, in fact
every one in the locality should be
vitally interested in the school.
A premium list of at
least one hundred dollars for the
best exhibits of live stock, farm ant
orcha products should be proyid-
ed
Plan of Conducting the Work.
There should be a good, live To-
cal organization consisting of a Pre-
sident, a Secretary, and five other
members of an executive committee
to be chosen from both town and
country.
Lectures, class exercises, and
practical demonstrations will be
given forenoons and afternoons of
each day with a series of popular
lectures aided by local musical and
literary talent every evening.
One week will be devoted to Fruit
Stock, Dairying, and Field Crops, in
Guiding Irrigation and Drainage. Re-

EuRopE's OPEN-AIR SCHOOLS.
Foreign Educators Remedy for
Rackwardness in Children.

From the Boston Globe.
In Europe, whenever climatic conditions
will permit, there are open-air schools
for backward pupils, as is the case IN
some sections OF the United States. Ed
ucators abroad have reached the sensible
conclusion that the backwardness of those
children who are not promoted and be-
come known as ''holdovers' Is due to de-
fects in school management.
Some years ago in Germany this condi-
ton was discovered and an investigation
was instituted to find the cause. 1t was
learned that large number of children In
the schOOls-frOm to 5 per cent-were
suffering from anemia and various other
this accounted for much of the lethargtc
movement in the grades The children
were not backward because Of defective
mentality, but because of impaired phys
ical vitality.
The Germans decided that If children of
this sort remain closely confined In school,
rooms they will retard their associates
and probably become chronic detectives.
If kept out Of school they will suffer from
lack Of education and will be handicapped
In the struggle for existence. So the
some method by which misfortunes due
to backward children might be remedied.
They hit upon the open-air school.
For the last six years, in the neighbor-
hood of every large city in Germany,
there have been set up open-air schools
into which children showing physical
weakness have been collected. These
children have been carefully inspected by
physicians, are supplied with abundant
nourishing food. are kept in the open air
most Of the time both day and night and
are taught in groups of twenty or more
to the teacher Berlin is spending about
$4,000 year on such schools.

The use of the apostrophe in words
ending with IS" was an objectionable sin
in the eyes of the old grammarians. Hon.
est William Cobbett, who wrote perhaps
the best elementary grammar book ever
published in which he was not afraid to
criticise even the composition of the
kings speech. was exceedingly bitter
against the practice, which appears to
have begun in the early years of the nine
teenth century. He compares it with the
Cockney habit of speaking of the
BToWnses and. worse still. the Joneseses.

Attention to Present Conditions

Asa Phillips, superintendent of sewers,

vast amount of metallic sediment
from the ink and chemicals used in the
bureau settles In the pipes of the Dis
trict's system and endangers the free
passage of drainage. The sewer depart
ment's employees dug out 1888 cubic feet
Of this sediment in 1909, at q cost of near
y $3.50. Mr.. Phillips said this morning
that the sediment is of such a nature
that it builds up gradually a hard cement
like substance, which in time would stop
up the entire system In the neighborhood
of the bureau.
Unique Laundry System.
The bureau heads have arranged
unique laundry and toilet system for the
new building About 20 per cent of the
entire space of the building will be given
over to toilet and laundry purposes. One
of the schemes is an arrangement where
by the entire 1900 employees will wash
their hands at once. This small army
will approach the wash basins at given
time and the water will be turned on by
one man at the end of the pipe.
This will precipitate about 10000 GAL
Ions Of water a minute into the sewer
system at that point, and has raised a
water problem which has been met with
a unique scheme of allowing the water
to gather in a huge tank somewhere In
the top of the building.
The sewerage matter was taken up by
Director Ralph several weeks ago. He
replied that 1t would be impracticable to
make definite suggestion regarding a
settling tank to intercept the ink and
studge from the bureau laundries for the
reason that he was considering a pro-
posal to reclaim the oil, ink and pigment
from the wiping rags used by the printers
Mr.. Ralph Is of the opinion that If this
scheme is adopted no settling tanks will
be required.
The engineers of the District building
believe that settling tanks to keep the
sewer system clear should be installed at
the bureau. no matter what scheme for
the reclamation of ink and pigment is
adopted.
