A small, convenient house that may
be built for $4,000 is just what good
many young people are looking for.
The perspective and floor plans here
shown go to make UP Just such
house.
You can't have everything in little
house the same as In a large house,
but you can leave out good many
things that are not necessary; and
that gives an opportuYty to retain
the important features. A big living
room for instance is one Of the great
luxuries of modern houses.
Not so many years ago everybody
seemed to have craze for double
parlors. An architect was obliged to
design double parlors If he had to cut
them down to ten feet square each.
It is a curious comment on human
nature that such foolish fad would
have to run itself completely out be-
fore people were ready to abandon It
for something better. But small
houses are no longer built with double
parlors and the owners OF old ones
are having the partition taken out.
wherever 1t is possible. and they are
in that way making the two rooms
into one good, big comfortable. airy.
sensible living room.
We are learning something all the
time. We have learned better than to
cut the front part OF house up Into
small rooms Another thing we have
learned is to put In windows enough
to light the rooms and to put them
opposite or on different sides OF the
room wherever possible. and another
thing we are relearning is the use OF
an open fire. Good houses are all built
nowadays with CRATE or fireplace OF
some kind In the front part OF the
house where it may be used when
wanted.

: pie were obliged to heat their houses

PROGRESS IN EDUCATION.
What DR.. Isaac M. Aeard Has Accom-
plshed at TiIlotson College.

pished at Tillotson College.
Modern educational methods as ap-
piled in the institutions and among the
colored people of the south and south
west have resulted in notable advance
ment for the progress and uplift Of
the race, according to the report of DR..
Isaac NJ. Agard, president of Tillotson
college, at Austin. Tex, and connected
with the American Missionary associa-
ton.
During the seven years that he has
been at the head of that institution he
has made a detailed and exhaustive
study of educational work throughout
the south, observations made forming
the basis of numerous lectures and ar
tcles.
That Texas has great future is his
belief and also that the future of the
colored people in the south and south
west is bright.
Much of this, in his opinion. will be
due to the educational work being car
ried on by northern men and women.
The result Of their efforts can be not
ed from year to year and is a steady
march of progress, betterment in con-
ditions among the people for whom
the work is carried on and in the
building up of that section Of the coun-
try.
The value Of applying modern edu-
cational methods is noted in the rap
i'd growth of Tillotson college since Dr.
Agard has been at its head. Not only
has there been a notable increase in
enrolment, but the scope of work has
been enlarged and a new concrete in
dustrial building has been added. 9th
er buildings are planned.
While he emphasizes the value of
industrial education and instruction in
domestic sciences. he does not consider
that it should be taught to the exclu-
sion of the details of the so called
higher educa ton. A general education
fitting for professional, home and busi-
ness branches of life's work. is advo-
Gated.
At present a movement is on foot to
establish a fund for the full equip
ment of the new Evans Industrial

building and the securing of new
buildings The Industrial building Is
the result of a fund gathered In the
north to meet the conditional bequest
of Major Evans of Austin, a promi-
nent business man and native of New
Hampshire.
For his work in the Lone Star State
and studying conditions in the south
land DR.. Agard was particularly well
fitted for taking up the presidency
of Tillotson seven years ago. Preced-
ing this he was for over twenty years
principal of the Rockville high school
and superintendent of schools in that
city. During his thirty years active
teaching in New England he became
known as one of the most successful
and progressive preparatory school
headmasters with the Rockville schools
as a monument to his efforts
During that time he became well
known throughout New England as
twice president of the Connecticut AS
sociation of Classical and High School
Teachers and as member of the Con
necticut council of education. The
same quality of work which made him
so successful in the east is responsible
for his success in the southwest
People in Connecticut have a pecul-
lar interest in Tillotson college on ac-
count of its having been founded by
and named after Rev. George J. Tillot-
son, for many years a prominent Con-
gregational clergyman of the state and
having pastorate in Wethersfield.

MUCH PLANNING. BEING DONE
BY RAILROAD. COMPANY. FOR
COMING YEARS BUSINESS.

"There is no doubt but that the COM
ing year will be the greatest in the his
tory of North Dakota" said Travelling
Passenger Agent L. L. LaRue today
to The World representative. tPlars
are being laid by the railroad company
for an extra amount Of traffic through
out the entire Northwest and there is
no doubt but that their expectations
will be fully realized"
When asked as to how the plans for
the coming year were being made, Mr..
LaRue said: "The passenger service
will be greatly improved on. All roll
ing stock will be gone over and many
new features will be added to mako it
comfortable for the passengers.
"Will there be any through trains
added to the service on the main
line9" was asked of him and in reply
he stated that he was not in a POSITION
to give out any information along that
line, but in giving an idea of the
amount of business that will go direct
ly to Glacier National Park over the
Great Northern system, it was easy to
draw from the conversation that the
management Of the road expected to
make such an addition to their already
good service.
