ards might ap. iy. but II we expect
to keep the toss N no study agricul-
ture In our Vs*g.nia colleges we must
not pursue policy that will drive
them to Cornell. and such outside col
ieges AZ will give tkem credit for
honest work in these new courses es-
tabiished bv the States.
In the third place. the State should
encourage our normal schools, and
normal trainings classes. to take up
the work Of preparing rural and vii
lage teachers to teach agriculture and
other Industrial subjects. Some Of
teach even In a one room school. 1t
teach even In one room school. 1t
will be found frequently that the
whole school will be interested and
lay down their books and Listen. There
Is growing up a great enthusiasm
among our country boys aud girls.
Reflex influences are passing back and
forth from one neighborhood and
county to another: from the normal
schols and agricultural high sch ools
10 the common schools. and from the
one room schools beck again to those
Of higher grade.
see no harm, but great good, that
could result from teaching the prin-
ciples OF agriculture as q science even
in a city sch ool. There are many city
boys who could live more happy and
useful lives In the country, and no
doubt the reverse is true. The boy
should be encouraged to follow his
natural bent, and when he under
stands that he can make money IN
the country and be happy there. he
will give attention to the claims OF
the country.
4. As TO our agricultural high
schools. think the State should main
tain one in each congressional dis
trict. az a model for all the other
high schools. az a center Tor farmers
gatherings. and ultimately to become
branch experiment station In con-
recetion with the principal one at
Biacksburg. At the agricultural high
schools short courses for the farmers
should be maintained, and one or
more expertg might be employed as
part CT the teaching force. Every
grammar school and every rural
school. and every high school In the
State should give such instruction
In agriculture as they are able. The
agricultural high schools should lea d
the way and work out the problems,
and be district center for agricul-
tural extension work.
s. In tbs pending reorganization of
burg. hope the State will put a man
at the head who can place Blacks
burg In coordinate relation with the
whole public school system Of the
State. Blackshurg, in my opinion,
would be much greater institution at
the head OF q systematic effort to
spread universal instruction in agri-
cultural subjects: and as the promo
ter OF the study of natures laws by
all the children Of the State
Lastly. and decidedly the most i'm
portant thing for the State TO do, Is
TO secure the services of real ex-
pert In agricultural education; to
travel among the agricultural high
schools and normal schools. and as far
m possible among the other public
schools Of the Commonwealth: to ex-
plain and enforce the course Of study
and the regulations adopted. He should

Topeka railway circles are awaiting
with interest the announcement of the
perintendent of motive power of the
Santa Fe.
General Manager c. w. Jones. Gen
era1 superintendent T. H. Beacon,
Division superintendent D. Coughlin
and other officials of the Rock Island
are on tour of inspection.
The differences between the freight
handlers and officials of the Burling-
ton at Quincy have been temporarily
settled by allowing the handlers an
freight during February The ad-
vance makes the compensation 81
cents per ton.
All the freight traffic and operating
officials of the Gould lines will meet
in New Orleans on March Z for q con-
ference on matters relating to opera
ton. transportation and traffic. The
meeting will be presided over by T. J.
Freeman, president of the Interna-
tiOna1 & Great Northern and the traf-
fic sessions will be in charge of n. NJ
Leach, assistant to the president and
traffic chief of the Texas & Pacific
lines. A attendance of 400 men is

It is the intention of the Grand
Trunk, according to an announcement
just made, to establish a chain of
hotels extending across the continent.
They will be modelled after the
be on Mount Robson in the Canadian
Rockies. 1900 feet above sea level
and 1900 feet above Grand Fork val

Traffic departments of the National
Lines of Mexico and the Gould roads
are considering a plan for the estab
lishment of a de luxe passenger ser
vice from the west coast of Mexico to
New York in connection with the I'm
perial Steamship company of Japan.
The line is to work along the Pacific
coast from South American ports to
Manzanillo. the Pacific outlet of the

ing adjustment of the offices of gen
eral superintendent of the system and
district assistant general superintend-

Rock Island After Short Route
to Panama Canal.
New Cutoff to Be Built From
AlIertOn, Ia, to Meta, Mo.
DIRECT LINE NORTH TO GULF
Connection VIII Be More Than
$50 Miles Long.
Other Items of General Interest
in Traffic World.

In an effort to have a direct line
straight from the wheat fields and
FIGURING mills of the north to the Gulf
Of Mexico and to the Panama canal,
it is reported in Topeka railroad cir
cles that the Rock Island will build q
connection through the northern CEN
trail part of Missouri and through the
capital, Jefferson City.
This connection will give the Rock
Island fast freight line from Mime
sofa to the Gulf. 1t will meet the new
ST Paul & Kansas City short line of
the Illinois Central at St Louis. The
tracks of the Illinois Central will be
used from St. Louis to the Gulf.
The Rock Island Will complete this
year their Kansas Cfty-St. Paul line.
Bonds for this road were issued a few
years ago The line will extend to
Carlisle, a town few miles from Des
Moines. When the Rock Island laid
plans for building this cutoff to St
Paul. railroad men shook their heads
and said it had another meaning
This will give the Rock Island q
line into the capital city Of Missouri.
It will give them a tap on some of
the richest agricultural territory in
the state The counties touched by
the new line are Cole. Maries. Mercer,
Linn, Sullivan. Charlton. Randolph,
Howard Boone, Galloway and Usage.
The Rock Island will have excellent
facilities to handle the business of the
west when this new line is completed:
It will be able to rush freight and
grain from the wheat belt of the north
direct to the Gulf. At this time the
road spreads a network of track over
the central west. From Chicago to
the Pacific coast on two routes the
Rock Island has facilities. From the
north to the south their lines cover
the agricultural and mining country.
In the south the road skirts along the
Gulf
The immense bond issue of few
weeks ago has frightened up the pros
poets on the road for the wear 1912
The budget which will be made public
in a few weeks will line up improve
ments all along the lines of the road
not only in other states but in Kansas.
where the road is a large factor in
the upbuilding of the state.
