Farm Teachers Are Wanted.

II properly qualified men could be
found ten counties of this state will
employ travelling teachers of better
farming methods before the year
closes.
This fact Was developed at a meet
ing of the executive committee of the
university board of regents in Madi-
son when Frank G. swoboda Of Dous-
man was appointed agricultural repre-
sentative for Langlade county.
Mr.. Swoboda was formerly superin.
tendent of the Wisconsin Home School
for Boys at Dousman and graduated
from the Wisconsin University College
of Agriculture in 1903. In Langlade
county his work Will be in cooperation
with Superintendent of Schools A. NJ.
Ayeson, the teachers of that county,
and with X l.. Hatch, chief of the ag-
ricultural extension service and state
leader Of the United States depart
ment of agriculture.
Already the board of Oneida. price,
Bayron and Eau Claire counties have
county demonstrators at work among
their farmers advising on the handling
of their soils, the management of
their herds, and in every way possible
helping to increase farm profits.
These itinerant agricultural teachers
are officially known as county repre-
sentatiyes of the College of Agricul-
ture OF the University OF Wisconsin
and are employed by this institution
and the respective county boards.
The last legislature made it possible
for ten agricultural Representatives to
be employed in Wisconsin prior to Jan
uary J., 1914. and also made provi-
sion for the establishment Of this re-
lationship with six other counties the
next year. The first county represen-
tative to be employed in America was
f. J.. Luther. who. in 1911. was en-
gsged TO cooperate with the settlers
Of Oneida county. Wis. Since then
the system has been quite generally
adopted in many states and the move
meat has gained in popularity.

High Schools Entitled to Stat. Aid.

High schools in Wisconsin main
tanning courses in stenography, type
" riting and bookkeeping in conform
ity with the requirements of the state
department of education are entitled
to state aid to the amount of one-half
the cost of maintenance Of such
courses. but not to exceed $3.50, indie
pendently of the requirements and
conditions relating to the maintenance
OF courses in domestic science and
agriculture.
Such is the opinion of Attorney Gen.
eI'al Owen, given to State Superin-
teEdent Cary.
The law provides that high schools
maintaining courses in domestic sci
ence or agriculture may receive state
cost OF such courses, but not to ex-
coed $3.50, or, If the school maintains
such courses in the three grades next
below the high school, the aid may be
$3.50 There was some misunder-
standing as to whether the act pro
viding for aid for courses in stenog-
raphy, typewriting and bookkeeping
were or were not independent of the
law providing for the domestic sci
ence or agricultural courses. The al
torney general holds that they are.
Under this ruling II is possible for
schools to secure sT00 state aid by
maintaining the courses prescribed.
