Montana's forestry school in the
state university at Missoula is locat-

Montana forestry school differs from
other schools of it's kind.
That training in forestry could not

the forest would seem to the average
reader as obvious as that the science
of agriculture could not be taught

navigation could not we'll be given in

tana to establish the first forestry
school in the forest.
When the Montana school was es
tablished two years ago last autumn,
the only important schools of for
estry were located in large eastern
cities, or in prairie or agricultural
regions of the middle west Two
other new schools had recently been
established in the two largest cities
of the Pacific coast.
1t is due in large measure to it's
very favorable location in the midst
of the western forests, that the
school has had phenomenal growth
In two years it has become
the second largest department of the
state university, and the largest and
most successful school of it's kind in
the west.

boys were given practice in handling
tools to construct poultryhouses and
appliances that belong to the industry.
The aim is to teach them to build
good houses for the farm poultry and
yet keep the cost of such houses low
enough, so that the hen can easily
pay for them and make a reasonable
profit.
Length of School Course
The time required to complete the
course is four years. This is the SAM
as the time required to complete the
regular academic high school course.
II the boy completes the work sue
cessfully, he is given a high school
diploma which has the same stand
ing, In every respect, as the regular
diploma from the straight academic
course. 1t will admit him to higher
institutions Of learning on a par with
any other high school diploma
during these iour years not all Of
the time is spent on agricultural work
One-half of each day is spent in regu-
lar academic work in the high school.
rms gives the boy good general aca-
demic education along with his spe-
cla! agricultural training which is to
fit him for his life's work.
The course of study, is prescribed
by the State Bureau of Vocational
Education and is closely supervised by
the bureau week by week.
Free Tuition
A question that frequently con-
fronts one entering any school is that

however, is operated by the State
through the local school board. Its
advantages are offered to any boy alb

pupils come, pay it. The same thine
is true of the agricultural school with
one exception. The State will refund

half the tuition they pay. This ar
rangement makes the cost to the
parent sending a pupil to the asri-
cultural school nothing, and the cost
OF that pupil to the district from
which he comes less than what il
would cost to send him to the usual
academic high school.
Entrance Requirements
TO enter the agricultural school the
boy must be at least fourteen years OF
$age. He must have a natural desire
and trend for agricultural work and
must carry out school project. The
project may be carried on at his hon :
or on the school grounds. The forner
is the preferable place for doing this
part of the work. In this project he
undertakes to do a piece of farm
work-grow an acre of corn or pota-
toes, care for the home garden, rear
some farm animals, etc He must
keep accurate accounts of all time
and money expended on the Droiac+ &c

work must be done under the direc.
ton of the supervisor of agriculture

Mystery of Gasoline
New York Worldl


After rising like a rocket to a fig
ure nearly treble that of a year ago,
the price of gasoline is now coming
down, slowly, it is true, but under con-
ditons of equal mystery with those
which marked its rise.
But why does gasoline suddenly be-
come cheaper after as suddenly be-
coming dear? That is the prize puz-
zle of a system of price fixing of
which the oil industry has furnished
many examples. The present reduc-
ton is attributed to increased pro-
duction and a slackening of the de-
mand for the fuel for the military
needs of Europe. But certainly the
domestic demand both for industrial
and pleasure uses have enormously in
creased. The decline in the price OF
crude oil has been slight, and it is
not assumed that the long established ID
and efficiently managed producing
companies have only at this late day
effected economies which make its
production cheaper. Why, then, does
gasoline cost less now than a month
or a week ago?
Gasoline is more than ever a pub
lie necessity. The recent extreme
fluctuations in its price have inspired
Congressional inquiries. The Federal
Trade Commission has just finished
an investigation of methods of pro-
duction and conditions of cost Yet
the mystery remains at most half
solved. a good way to clear it up
might be to subject the entire oil
industry to federal supervision.

The annual report of the self-help

that the students who are working

This is the most remarkable for

1t is interesting to know that the
Yale students hesitated at no honest

and mosquitoes. The important fact
shown, however. is that so many

equally large IN colleges of all
classes-hold. education of such
value that they are willing to toll for
