and the correlation of this work with
the subjects already taught there.
This is only justice to our country
population, and is by no means a diff
cult task
However, it will be several years be-
fore many schools take up this redi-
rected education, as it cannot come
suddenly. 1t must come gradually with
the conditions and ability of the forces
to carry on such work In the mean
time much good can be done through
other sources in helping the boys and
girls in their farm life 1t is to meet
this need that the Junior work of the
Extension Department is conducted.
The work began in the spring of 1909
when about 500 boys and girls agreed
to carry on an individual ear test with
ten ears of corn. Nearly one-half of
them purchased the seed they began
with from some we'll known corn
breeder in the state. Instructions were
sent them throughout the season in
testing the Seed planting, cultivating
making records and harvesting the
crop. During the short course the
following winter nearly all of these
young farmers competed for several
thousand dollars in premiums offered
for the best samples of corn exhibited
This contest was considered very sue
cessful and it was decided to make IL
an annual feature Of the work.

COLLEGE,

Extension Department, Iowa State
College.
For many years short courses, farm
ers' institutes and various other meet
uings have been held for the benefit of
the farmers and farmers wives of ev-
.ery state. This and all other agricul-
tural education has been chiefly di-
rected to the grown-up people. Today
educators everywhere are beginning
to realize that the boys and girls, who
are to be the future managers of our
farms, have been neglected. Even
their schools have not been of the
proper kind and the subjects taught
there are anything but inviting to the
free and inquiring minds of farm chill
dren. Not a single subject has been
taught them which should fit them for
their duties of life or which bring
them closer to their work. There may
be some good reasons why many
bright country boys and girls have left
the old farm and gone to the more
Turing life of the cities.
But conditions are rapidly being
changed and we can rightly hope that
in the near future the country children
will at least be given chance to
study the things nearest them and
that their education will be as thor
ough and complete as that of their
city cousins. This will ultimately
come through the introduction into
the schools of the fundamental prin-

The rapid strides which bowling has
made in popular favor in Richmond is
ms surprising as IL is pleasing TO
those interested in the sport. Just
short two years ago there was but
one bowling team in Richmond OF
merit. To-day there are at least six
leagues. properly organized and OH

the week in accordance with the rules
laid down by the National Bowling
Association, and. as u matter of fact,
there are not enough alleys in the
city to accommodate all who desire

Now that the time is rapidly ap-
preaching when more than $4,000
bowlers from every section of the

Of battling for national championship
honors. interest naturally centres in
the men who will try to get few of
the trophies for the capital city OF
the Old Dominion. If one may judge
ny past performances. the team witch
viii look after the bowling interest
OF TINS city Is equal To the occasion.
Last year was the first time that the
south had ever been represented at
the national tourney. The five men
who have been together for several
years looked over the averages OF the
teams playing in previous tournaments
and came TO the conclusion that they
had more than q lighting chance to
win. Then they started to practice
harder than ever, in the meantime
sending in their applications to the
national secretary of the bowling con-
gress.
When they left for Baltimore last
year 1t was with tho best wishes OF
their friends and with sort OF for
lorn hope that they would finish a
little better than last. No one dreamed
that the men. who had never before
participated In O tournament. would

Rudolph escaped by night and made short cut to bis capital, where he found over 100000 soldiers at his dis posal.

 'eWouldn't that rasp you," said Col ogne.

 "Your cathedral makes me tired" said Treves. "You have harped on nothing else for the last two years"

 "L think so myself" answered TreVes. "I also have some fish to fry" The rest was easy.

As for the captain who was shot by the catapult into the arChbishop's tent, he did not die, although he had railway spine and well-founded pref udice against catapults the rest of bis i life. He built a chapel on the spot where he lit and it is there yet in good condition except that the roof is gone.
