POSTGRADUATE CLASS At
ALLEN ACADEMY.

For the benefit of some of our
graduates of last year who will
return to the Academy for an
other years work, and for any
Others desiring this higher
course, we will organize a post
graduate class. The course will
include higher English and lit
erature, Latin, German or Span
ish, and college Freshman math-
.ematics.
In this connection, we wish TO
call attention to the advantages
of the course offered in German.
Prof. Moers speaks German as
his native tongue, and he uses
the conversational method of in
struction. The higher course in
Latin will cover ground neces-
sary for fourth entrance unit
in Latin. 1t will be especially
valuable for students who feel
the need of additional Latin be-
fore going to college.
There Is a growing demand,
especially in Texas, for Spanish;
and a knowledge of this Ian
guage will be of great value not
only to scholars, but to business
men in the future.
We wish to call attention also
to our course in debating. In
former years the principals have
had great success in training
boys in debate. II is our pur-
pose TO lay emphasis on this
work during the coming session
and to make II a very valuable
course.
Special students will be re-
ceived in any Of the above sub
iects.

THE VALUE OF WOOD
IT'S PRESERyATIyES

The farmers OF the State OF Mary
land require and use 1.750,000 fence
posts annually. These posts will. on an
average. have 10 be renewed in six
years time. Some locust and cedar
may last for twenty years. other. like
soft maple. or sweet gum. may rot out
in two years.
IL has been found that q treatment Of
(hot and cold creosote costing 1913
cents and requiring a very short time
will add to the life of cheap. inferior
post as much as fifteen years Tests
extending over a period OF years at the
Maryland Experiment Station have
shown that the first cost, peeling and
setting of locust post involves an ex-
pense of 3S cents, to buy, peel. treat
and set one of spruce pine costs 2S
cents. There is little difference in the
average length or life OF the high-pric
ed cedar or locust post and that of the
cheap, but treated, kind.
Experiments have demonstrated that
pin oak. sycamore. black gum and tulip
poplar posts. untreated, have rotted
through in two years time. The same,
treated. should last fifteen or twenty
years. There is now apparent from
year TO year a scarcity of the better and
more lasting woods on which the farm
er has depended in years past for shin
giles, fencing and other products of
wood. Where red cedar and locust
are scarce and costly, or even when
they are not, timber treating with ere
osote makes the poorest material in
the woodlot available to these uses and
durable in service.
The State Board of Forestry has an
efficient and readily portable plant for
treating fence posts, shingles and small
timbers. This they. will loan to any
responsible individual or association in
Maryland A demonstrator from the
State Forester's office, Baltimore, will
also be supplied to install ard put i'm op-
ertation the plant. Farmers having
large quantities of posts they wish pre-
served. and treated to prevent decay,
before putting them in us, or associ-
ations wishing to conduct dmonstra-
tions to test the proved cash value of
this work, are urged to take this mat.

One French industry that has grown
apace since the beginning of August
is the making of those funeral wreaths
with which the cemeteries in France
are always so primly decorated. Many
a soldiers grave is marked today only
by a cross and cheap little tricolor
waving gloriously in the transient sun
shine. but there is big demand
among those who may bring their lost
ones nearer home to rest for the con-
ventional mourning wreaths. The
shop windows are filed with these
things and with promises that orders
viii be instantly fulfilled at the work
shops.
One imagines that the very finicky
work must keep a large number Of
girls employed. for all those elaborate
ly twisted designs of flowers and foli-
age are made of wire strung with the
tiniest of beads, and enormous guam
titles must be used for every wreath.
The designs do not seem to have
varied. The favorite is still the wreath
of heartsease worked out in melan-
choIy livid shades OF purple, blue and
gray-green, but the words in running
script across the design are Mort
pour la Patrie."
