AN ERRONEOUS IMPRESSION
Prot. Mills Correets Popular Error
About School Of Forestry

Quite number of people
have notion that since the
course of study for the School
of Forestry has been revised it
requires high school standing
before student can take up
the work but such is not the
case. A student can enter
with or without high school
training and his educational
credits will be arranged accord
ingly. It is true that the
school now has something to
offer to high school graduates
but it is also we'll equipped to
care for those who have not en-
loved such ADVANTAGES.

DOMESTIC SCIENCE
New Features In Popular Course al
School Of Forestry This Year
SPECIAL CLASS FOR TOWN PEOPLE
New Method Of Drafting Adds
Much to Attraction Of the
Sewing Course

One of the strong features of
the School of Forestry course
and the one that appeals to the
ladies is the thorough course
in domestic science. This has
always been a good course
and a popular one but Miss
Lois Failyer, the specialist in
charge of the work, spent the
summer getting new ideas and
methods and is more than ever
enthusiastic about the work of
her department. New methods
have been introduced in the
sewing course and special
class in sewing and cooking
will be provided for ladies from
town w h o cannot attend
regular classes. This special
class has been decided upon on
account of the interest shown
by many who cannot attend
regularly.
The sewing course this fall
Will include the regular model
work and the making of gar
ments, the patterns being
drafted by the student. Shows
drafting system is to be intro
duced for the first time. This
system includes the taking of
measurements and the drafting
of patterns to fit the individual
forms. The advantage of this
system is that after some ex-
perience the seams of the dress
can be stitched without fitting.
Each system consists of the
necessary material for draft
ing any pattern with pamph-
lets giving illustrations and
directions for the use of the
same. When the system has
been mastered and there has
been sufficient practice in de-
signing, a dress of any style
can be designed and a pattern
made.
Plain patterns are made first
and from them the more Ella
borate gown is made, so that
tucks, bands of trim ming, etc.,
can be shown on the paper pat
tern. This gives an idea of
how the completed gown will
look. The material for the
garment should be bought after
the pattern is drafted in order
that the exact amount needed.
may be purchased.
This system is used in near
ly all the state colleges and
schools in the middle and
western states and is very
satisfactory. ..
There will be two classes in
cooking. The beginners will
have the preparation of typical
foods, consisting of cereals,
eggs, creamed dishes, cream
soups, mullins, simple cakes,
etc. The second term students
will have canning and picking
of fruits and vegetables with
further study of carbohydrates.
A class for ladies from town
will be started in both cooking
and drafting. The time of day
for these will depend upon the
wishes of the ladies'. Further
information may be obtained
at the school.

GLIDDEN LEADER,
BUTLER, is KILLED
Car 0verturns in Ditch Near
Tifton, Ga.

TiftOn, Ga, oct. 25.-Samuel NJ. But
Ter, chairman of the American Automo-
bile Association, and one of the best
automobile men in the United States,
was instantly killed about three miles
south of Triton this morning, when the
car in which he was riding was over
turned in a ditch. At the same time p.
]. Walker, of San Francisco. and his
wife were rather badly injured.
The machine they were riding in was
Cunningham car diven by Charles F.
Kellman. of Rochester. n. Y. which was
acting as pace-maker for the Glidden
Tour, a caravan of seventy-odd autos,
which left New York City a week ago
Saturday bound for Jacksonville, Fla.
Referee Walker and the driver of the
car both said the cause of the accident
was the locking of the stearing gear,
but others thought that the car struck
a piece of soft sand while going forty
miles an hour, and that it simply swerv-
ed off the road before the driver could
get control of the machine.
Last Wednesday this same car and
driver nearly upset while going into
Roanoke, when Gov. Hoke Smith and
Charles J. Glidden were riding in it. Kell-
mans reckless driving was such a
strain on Mrs. Walkers nerves that
twice she has left the car. This morn
ing she begged Gov. Smith at Cardele
to let his daughter Lucy accompany her
on to-day's run, but after his exper-
ience last week he refused to let her go.
Referee Walker said that both he and
Butler saw the car was going to leave
the road fifty feet before it struck the
ditch, but they were helpless. The top
of the car was up or probably all would
have been killed. Mr.. and Mrs. Walk
er. in charge OF DR.. D. Z. Hoag, of New
York, left here for Atlanta tonight.
Kellman, the driver Of the car, was
on his wedding trip and his wife was
riding in another car. When she heard
of the accident she said: "Oh, am sure
Charlie was driving too fast"
Mr.. Butler was one of the pioneers
Of the automobile industry. From it's
inception he was secretary of the Auto
mobile Club of America, and three years
ago resigned to accept the position of
chairman of the contest board of the
American Automobile Association. His
home was in Brooklyn, and he is sur
vived by his wife and two children.

Mr. Taft held a consultation at his
hotel in Minneapolis early in the day
with a score of Republican leaders of
Minnesota, including former Congress-
man James Tawney. While he was as
sured that he would capture the majority
of the delegates to the convention, he
was not left in doubt as to the possibility
of the State going Democratic next year.
The Presidents speech to the students
of the University of Minnesota upon
manners came after they had given him
terrifying bOmbardment of yells. AS
the President rose to speak one of the
students went through some wild gyra-
tions, while the others cried their lungs
out.
The President waited until it was over
and then remarked: Il suppose it is nee
