High School Extension in Agriculture
ON. L.A-.

There is growing conviction among
school men that the high school which
confines its efforts to teaching the tradi-
tional school subjects to the pupils en-
rolled in its regular classes falls short of
doing its full duty to the community. If
the children OF high school age who can
lattend the regular classes We're the only
members of the community needing in
struction, it might be considered sufii-
Gent to use the school equipment small
fraction of the year for this small part
of the population, but with q large per-
centage of our adult population and of
our young people not in school needing
such intellectual and social development
as our high school equipment can pro
mote, it seems unfortunate and unwise
to let such large investment lie idle
three fourths of the time.
The latest statistics OF the bureau of
education show that only one.ffth of
our total population is enrolled in schools
which are open about one-half of the
daylight hours during less than one half
of the working days in the year. In
other words the schools might be CON
sidered as available for all OF the people

The plan Of opening the high school
building evenings, Saturdays and other
times when the day school is not in SEES
sion, for the purpose of conducting lee
ture courses, continuation schools, short
courses and such like enterprises for the
education of those regularly employed
in productive industry, has been develop |
ing for many years with marked success
in both city and rural schools in Europe, /
and to a considerable extent for a few |
years past in American city schools
AS long as the rural school taught only |
the traditional high school subjects and /
according to popular estimation per
formed its full duty in preparing few
studously inclined pupils for college en-
trance there was no demand for and lit
tie opportunity TO develop extension
work. II was difficult, to say the least,
for the unsophisticated farmer and his
worthy helpmate to see how the teach
err of Latin or history or mathematics
could help them to raise better crops or
make more wholesome bread, or rear
more healthy children and it might have
been equally difficult for the teachers OF
these subjects to devise methods of trans
lating their disciplinary training" into
any sort of rural improvement.
But with the coming of special teach
ers of agriculture and manual arts into
a few rural high schools, there has come
A new conception of the functions of such
conception not bounded by
narrow pedagogical dogmas, but by broad
lines of effective service, taking in the

IN BOSTON MARKETS.
Eggs One Cent Lower, Butter Remains
Firm

Firm.
Boston, March s.--Eggs are about a
cent a dozen lower for all grades in the
local market, the result not so much OF
excessive supplies as the fact that all
outside markets are easier and local re.
ceivers fear greatly increased receipts in
the next day or two. Mondays receipts
were only 1851 cases and there was a
prompt and early cleanup, particularly
of hennery eggs, Of which hardly any
were to be found at the close of business.
The butter market maintains firm tone
for receipts of fresh butter are still light
and storage stocks are being rapidly re-
duced. The cheese market is quiet and
no more than steady, as stocks are fairly
large for the time of year and, with
neither exporters nor local buyers inter
ested, sellers have some trouble in OBJ

crushing them almost beyond recognition.
Hughes was Ga years old, native OF

New Ulm who subscribed for movies
of their places of business, solicited
by representative of a Minneapolis
concern, were informed that they are
now to receive their dividends The
pictures were snapped in September
and were shown later on several oc-
casions in New Ulm movie house
The total amount put up by the bust
ness men for the advertisement was
S212 so. The amount taken in by the
management, less eight dollars re-
tanned, was $3.50. Fifty per cent OF
this sum, the total amount is $26 10
being the percentage promised from
receipts of the show This is little
better than ten per cent dividends. II
is said that the business men have
turned their dividends over to the

ACTION TO BE TRIED
HAS UNIQUE feature
Suit vii! Involve the Payment OF
Insurance Money BY the Modern
Woodmen Lodge

A case is being prepared for trial
at the coming March term of court at
Fairmont that possesses unusual fea-
lures, and involves the payment of a
$1,000 policy carried during his life
time by August Larson. Helen Lar
son is the surviving wife of August
Larson and Ida Larson is the sur
yiving wife of Andrew Larson
August and Andrew were brothers
and when August joined the Wood
men in May, 1898, he named his
brother, Andrew, the beneficiary. Both
died and as the policy named Andrew
Larson as the beneficiary his heirs at
law are entitled to the money.
The Widow of August Larson, how
ever, holds the policy in her posses
sion and refuses to surrender it to
Andrew Larson's heirs, except on the
payment of large sum of money.
The action is being brought to COM
pei the surrender of the certificate, or
to prove the facts necessary to safe
guard the Woodmen in paying the
claim to the rightful beneficiaries.
