olympic. without doubt VIII be one
of the cities of Washington in which
short-term agricultural schools will be
held during the coming year. Appli-
cation for the school has already been
made to the Pullman State college and
it is very likely that Olympia will be
chosen as one of the ten places where
schools will be held this winter. Six
day agricultural schools were held last
year at LINDEN, Cashmere, SnOhOmish
and 12-day school at Puyallup. All
the schools were arranged by the ex-
and each of these towns has requested
another school this year. The plan of
operation is simple All arrangements
for the school are in charge of local
committee. The college furnishes in
structors without charge. Each per-
son attending the school pays an en-
rOllment fee to the local committee
and in this way the expenses are met.
All of the schools paid out. This year
it is planned to hold ten such schools
if possible. Applications have been re-
ceived from Olympia, Stevenson, Lyn-
den, Puyallup, Centralia, North Yak
ina, Grandview, Cashmere, Otis Or
chards and st. John. Other applica-
lions will receive consideration as the
schools will be distributed in such a
way as to best serve the people of the
state. Final arrangements will be
made in few weeks.
