purposes Of the club were; First, inn
proyement Of the village streets, public
common, grounds around the railroad
station, as well as the village properties
of the club members; next, the eneour-
agement Of business methods in farming,
which would include the beautifying OF
farmhouses and grounds; the reorgani.
cation Of the local school, not only re-.
garding the subjects taught, but the
method Of teaching and the identifying
of school grounds; the starting OF CO.
operative company for selling farm prod
uce direct 10 the consumer and for pur
chasing farm tools, fertilizer, etc: the
arranging for a course of lectures tillus-
tratedl on many subjects, and Of wide
range which might appeal to different
tastes, and also more intimate talks on
the most modern methods Of agriculture
i'm its various branches with lantern
slides, and last 70 provide the means
annually for sending one hoy and one
girl to the state agricultural college, or
state university. as they should select.
This would seem to be a long program
and a very ambitious one with which TO
start in; nevertheless, il was carried out
to the letter A constitution was drawn
up. a president, secretary, and treasurer
elected, and the annual dues set at So
year, with the membership limited TO
50. the officers giving their services for
nothing.
What the Club Has Accomplished
The club was to meet Saturday even.
ings from October to May, and once in
two weeks during the summer. Alter
mating Saturdays the meetings we're TO
be held ia the houses of members and on
the other Saturdays meetings were held
in the Congregational church, where
speakers from cut of town were invited
70 speak. Now what has this club ae-
in its eight years existencei
Far more than can be told in the short /
space allotted me. Through help Of agri. /
cultural experts from the state college, /
we have been able 20 solve many farm /
problems at the meetings. which otbrr- !
wise might have turned success into
faiiurei through LECTURES 60 which out /
siders were invited. We interested the /
whole community IN public improve
ments and thus now have an attractive
village park, library, better streets, and
a new railway station. The schools have
developed into attractive. home-like
places, surrounded by trees shrubs. low-
ers. and each with its own garden plot.
In them are taught, IN addition 10 the
usual subjects gardening, botany. the
principles 81 plant breeding, stock rails
ing. etc. The course 81 study i built

munity, Organized, simpiihed, and inter

INSANE MEN
THAN WOMEN
q. S. Census Bureau Figures Show 9s,6o5
Males in Asylums, AS Compared
With 10000 Females.

i Washington, ID G., Jan o. The re-
port on the insane in the United States
prepared by DIR. Joseph A. Hill and re-
Gently issued by William j. Harris, di-
rector of census, department Of COM
merce, indicates that there Is more in
sanity among men than women. The re-
Il port il based upon data relative to the
insane in hospitals and asylums in 1910.
More Men Insane than Women.
On January |, 1910, there were 9s.605
males in institutions for the insane, as
compared with sO,096 females, and dur
ing the year 1910, 34,ll6 males were
admitted as compared with 26,G23 fe.
males.
There were POS male inmates Of in
sane asylums to every 100000 males in
the total population, while the cores
ponding ratio of female inmates to total
female population was 1870 to 100000
The males admitted during the year 1910
represented ratio OF 72.l, the females,
a ratio OF 597. This means that in
typical community OF 100000 persons
equally divided as to sex POS Of the
males would be found in insane asylums
and 300 of the females, and in the course
Of one year " males would be admitted
10 the asylums, as compared with go
females
The NUMBER OF males in the asylums
Tor the insane has increased faster than
the number of females. In 1850 the
two sexes had, in fact, nearly equal
representation in these institutions. as
the total number Of inmates included
2o635 males and 20307 females; but
by 1910 the number OF male inmates
had increased TO 0s,605 and the number
OF female inmates to S0.096. so that the
males outnumhered the females by
ratio 81 II to 100. The excess OF males
among the current admissions in 1910
was still gneater-l2s males TO 100 fe-
males
One Reason Why.
"0f peculiar interest in this connection
is the table which distinguishes the
cases diagnosed as alcoholic psychosis or
general paralysis mental diseases
which, generally speaking, are aftermath
Of vice and dissipation. OF the 34,ll6l
males admitted to hospitals for the in
sane in 1910. s,l0s. or about rs per cent |
Of the total number. were reported as
from one or the other OF these /
diseases, while the number OF females /
having these diseases was only 2042. |
about eight per cent Of the
26.G53 females admitted. Ii from the
.otal number OF admissions the cases Of 1
llcoholis psythosis and general parsly- 1
lis are deducted. the disparity between
he sexes practically disappears There
ire left Of the total admissions 25.7Os
males a. compared with 246ll females,
slight excess Of males, but no greater
aan naturally would result from the
act that there are more males than fc-
males in The general population.

SCHOOL ACCO N MODA.
TONS MUST CHANGE
Citizens Discuss the Matter Mt the
Meeting of Parent-Teacher Ass0cia-
ton

But few topics in the community
are being more discussed at the pre-
sent time than the plans for different
school accommodations. At a meet
ing of the ParentTeachers associa-
ton held Saturday evening in the
High School room, the subject was
brought up and different citizens
voiced their opinions on the matter.
Leslie E. Jacobs, a member of the AS
sociations Educational committee,
who was out of town owing to the ILL
ness of a relative, submitted a written
report which was read by Mrs. E. It.
Goodrich. He expressed himself as
fayoring the purchase of additional
land and then the erecting of a new
High School building for the accom-
mediation of High School students
and the 7th and Sth grades, further
back from the street than the loca-
ton of the present building. This
would take care of the manual train
ing and domestic science depart
ments and the two grades in which
there is the most congestion, Mr..
Jacobs thinks.
