many machines OF high grade, and
small tools, to be used in the machine
shop. wood shop and other depart
ments. Also q foundry has been pro-
vided and the equipment for it has
already been shipped. This ID one OF
the things which the mechanic arts
department has been In need Of very
sorely and coming ct this time win be
very highly appreciated by the young
men who are pursuing this line Of
work. and viii greatly benefit the
school. incidentally much Of this new
equipment, particularly the iron work
ing machinery, will be used during the
short term by the boys taking the farm
engineering courses as well as by
those in the mechanic arts courses.
This is an innovation. as heretofore
none but mechanic arts students have
been permitted to work In the machine
shop. Machine shop work from now
on will be a regular part Of the short
course in farm engineering.
In the fine arts department equip
ment is being placed which will make
hammered metal work and pottery,
In addition to the courses already of
fered In that department. This year
there is already evinced an increased
interest in the work Of the department

ready large enrolment in every class.
The grounds have been greatly i'm
proved during the summer by the adj
dition OF walks, q new driveway. Gull

Is always more or less formal, the
general hum Of conversation seemed
to indicate that everyone felt at home
and was making the most of his or her
opportunity. The parlor was lavishly
decorated with several kinds Of cut
flowers and ferns. Ice cream, cake
and candy were served. Much credit

In Carnegie hall there has been a

one OF the most important improve
ments is the new heating plant. This
will be highly appreciated by all inn
mediately concerned with the school.
The things mentioned above do not
in any adequate way cover the inn
provements that have been made dur
! ing the summer but they may give
some idea OF the activities that have
been going on for the Improvement Of
the school. The public Is very cordial-

any time during the week to visit the
students In their classrooms and to
become acquainted with the teachers
