From the recently issued announce

! the following is CLEANED;
Education should mean preparation
for life. With this idea in mind, Mil
waukee County is erecting two humid
red Thousand dollar school of Agricul-
ture and Domestic Economy which will
give to young men and women excel
lent opportunities for the futherance of
their education in the various phases
OF farming and home making.
The school is located on beautiful
three hundred and seventy acre tract
of land, known as the Wells Farm,
about one and one-half miles west of
the City of Wauwatosa.
At the present, eight buildings are
in course of construction, namely: Ad-
minstration Building, Horticulture,
| Agronomy and Soils Building, Animal
Husbandry and Dairy Building, Agri-
cultural Engineering Building, Dormi-
| tory, Superintendent Residence, Heat
ing Plant and Barns and Live Stock
Judging Pavilion.
Five of these buildings are grouped
about quadrangular campus, two
hundred and fifty feet wide and four
hundred feet long, with the Admins
tration Building occupying position of
prominence at the head of the cam
pus
The buildings will be of Gothic arch
itecture and equipped with all modern
school appliances.
The school will be open to students
during the fall of 1912.
1t seems not to be generally known
that in addition to the free libraries
sent out by the state library commits
sion many counties in this state are
maintaining county travelling library
systems. The law provides that any
county may appropriate the first year
not to exceed $500 and thereafter not
to exceed 500 annually for the pur-
chase of books and the maintenance of
the libraries. Fourteen counties have
taken advantage of this law TO the def
| mite benefit of those fortunate enough
to live within their boundaries. AS a
result of the operation of this law
three hundred and thirty-four travelling
| libraries and over fifteen thousand vol
umes of the best books in existence are
being circulated among the inhabit-
ants of Columbia, Dodge, Dunn, Eau
Claire, Jefferson, La Crosse, Marin
cite, Milwaukee, Oconto, Portage,
Sank, Trempealeau, Winnebago and
Wood counties. Full information can
be obtained by addressing the Wis
consin Library Commission at Madi-
son.
