The plan of the work is as follows;
When lesson No. / in any course Is
sent to a student, he studies it care
fully and then submits a report OF
what he has CLEANED from it. This is
read and graded, and the points on
which the student is not perfectly
clear are explained to him by a per-
sonal letter or an up-todate article by
some agricultural expert. Lesson No.
3 is enclosed to him when his paper
is returned. When he has finished his
last lesson, he is sent paper con-
tanning a set of general questions,
which he is asked to answer. What

ing this course. The teachers can give
many OF these lessons to their classes
without revision.
or course, the greatest drawback to
correspondence course is the fact
that the laboratory work has to be
omitted, but this can, in the hands OF
a skillful teacher, be made as thor
ough and as practicable as any course
given in any university or agricultural
and mechanical college. No claim is
made that the student receives as
much instruction as he would If he
attended an agricultural college; but
if the students give the proper atten-
ton to their lessons and read the bull
letins, lectures, ETC., in connection
with their textbooks they will receive
a great amount of useful information.
The farmer and the farmers wife can
learn, and they are learning every
day, the best and most improved
methods of caring for the milk and
butter the building and filling of silos,
the methods of testing soils, the
proper amount and use Of fertilizers,
the breeding and care of cattle, horses,
hogs, and sheep, and helpful hints on
the home garden and the orchard.

than these courses to aid in prepare

Or. clark's Work In sivas.

The many friends of DR.. c. Ernest
Clark of Sivas, Turkey, will be glad to
read the following report of the West
Memorial hospital which he has estab-
lished and of which he is the physician
in charge. This report Is for the period
from July /, 1911, to June 30. 1912. For
the first time DR.. Clark has had an as
sstant physician in the clinic He also
has been able to increase the equipment
of the hospital and also the stock of
drugs in the pharmacy. DR.. Clark writes
that there is much difficulty in finding
good native nurses. He says: THE work
has been larger than ever before and
we feel that we are gaining the conf
dence of the people. The government
has sent us several patients and has
paid their hospital expenses. Several of
the protestant churches have contributed
to the support of the work. A larger
number of towns and villages have sent
us patients and we are steadily APP
preaching self-support through fees paid
for examination ana for operations and
hospital care and from the pharmacy
and native contributions"
During the year pool patients have at
tended the clinic for examination and
prescriptions and $50 have returned for
second visits, making a total of 2431
visits. About "a per cent were free and
46 per cent paid a fee. Besides these
patients seen at the Sivas clinic, about
300 were seen in six other towns and about
600 bedside visits were made in the city.
The patients in the West Memorial
hospital numbered 253.
They have a weekly Bible class for
all workers. Daily prayers are conducted
in the wards and the svas Bible woman
visits the women daily The hospital has
% beds and two cribs. DR.. Clark Is
endeavoring to secure a plot OF ground
upon which to erect a more commodious
building. and Mrs. L. S Bartlett's gift
of $4,000 will form the basis of a sum
for that purpose
