A two years course in forestry has

Wisconsin to meet the demand for
trained forest rangers.
More than a thousand school teach

instruction in domestic science in the

substantial things, instead of the Gear

The woman's law class at New York
University is probably unique in that
it is not intended to prepare women
for the practice Of law, but to give
them sufficient legal knowledge to con-

CHICAGO GIRLS ARE AGGRESSIVE.
Increase in Marriage 5000, Against
1000 in New York.

New York.-Leap year ended with
far fewer New York girls having taken
advantage of their opportunities than
Chicago girls.
Compared with an increase of over
5000 marriages in Chicago the year
1912 as reported in a dispatch from
that city, the marriage license bureau
in New York announces an excess of
only about 1000 marriages here over
the number in 1911. The total for the
year has been 1924.
The marriage license clerks declare
that there is no doubt that leap year
continues to have it's effect in matri-
monial business and say the records
every leap year keep up the tradition.

PRESlDENT-ELECT
AT BIRTHPLACE
Made Speech Telling of Feeling He
Hopes for During His Term.

Staunton, Va-President-elect Wood
row Wilson, by birth a Virginian, but
by adoption son of New Jersey, pro-
claimed Saturday the hope that his
administration might mean the final
obliteration of everything that in the
past divided the north and the south.
Il suggest an added significance to
the OCCASION" said Governor Wilson
in presenting the greetings of New
Jersey to Virginia, because it is a son
of the south who brings the greeting
of the NORTH
Standing on the porch of Mary Bald
win seminary, in the chapel of which
he was baptised, the president-elect
spoke to a great crowd gathered from
far and wide on the occasion of his
return to his native town on his seth
birthday anniversary.
While Mr. Wilson spoke his feeling
of hopes for a spirit of reunion that
would recognize neither region nor
section, nor north nor SOUTH" he
talked significantly of his future
course in politics, with particular ref
erence to the conduct of business.
Keep Manners and Fight.
The presidency, the governor said,
he regarded IAN an office in which a
man must put on his war paint" but
he added, that his visage was such
that he did not mind marring it, for q
man can keep his manners and still
fight"
A great many men who have taken
the narrow view of legislating for sec
tional advantage would have to be
mastered, the governor pointed out, in
order that they may be pointed out, in
ments of justice and mercy"
To the business men of the country
he held out also the service of a ma
ton in giving full value for value re
ceived, and remarked that in past
decades too much of the fortune max
ing had consisted of getting some
thing for nothing" The governor said
he had no quarrel with the free exer
else of brains in business, but he OBJ
jected to brains that established car
alright isolation" or monopoly into
which no competition could enter.
The president-elect spoke out O
doors. He intended to talk for only
few minutes, but his voice came
back to him in such strong tones tha
his speech lasted 80 minutes.
