responsibility of getting re-
suits. In blacksmithing the
same practical work is carried
out, the students doing actual
work under the supervision of
an instructor. This is also
true of farm carpentry, minia-
ture buildings being construct t.
ed and such other woodwork
ing as is usually required in
farm life.
The course comprises three
years, covering the more tech
nical subjects as the student
advances in his work.
The girls agricultural course
is similar in many respects to
that offered the boys. Cooking
and sewing is given in place of
the manual training subjects,
but otherwise the course is
covered.
A short course in canning,
given from Sept. 20 to 20, is
another new feature for the
year. The course includes
work in canning and picking
vegetables and fruits. Various
methods of preservation will
be studied and the course,
which is absolutely free and
open to everyone, will no doubt
attract many of the housewives
as we'll as the young girls.
1t is a notable fact that the
State School of Forestry is the
only school of. it's kind in the
United States where a student
can acquire professional
training in forestry and at the
same time get paid for his
work. Students in this depart
ment are paid for the work
done in tree study out of the
labor fund, the remuneration
running from 500 to $55 a
month. The school in this way
is an attractive one for the stu
dent of moderate means who
desires to secure an education.
In it's extension service the
Forestry is becoming a greater
power for good each year. Dur
ing the season of 1916 more
than a million tree seedlings
were distributed about the
state, going into all but four
counties. These seedlings are
furnished absolutely free upon
application, the only expense
being transportation charges.
Thousands of beautiful groves
about the North Dakota
prairies few years hence will
bear mute testimony to the va
lue of this service.
The preparation of landscape
designs is another feature of
the extension service that is
becoming more and more re-
cognized. This service is also
free to all land owners in North
Dakota and should be more
generally taken advantage of.
The School of Forestry is
commencing to take it's proper
place among the educational
institution Of the state. The
total enrolment for the past
year was practically double that
of any previous year in the
history of the institution. The
important addition of the agri-
cultural courses should make
the 1916-1917 school year sur
pass even the high. h.attendance
record of last year.

There never has been a time in
the history of our country when
expert and intelligent young men
who have been taught practical
life-lessons and thoroughly educa-
ted for business, were in such
demand as at present. So great is
the money capital of our country,
so sharp is the competition, so
great is the value of time, and so
expert have leading business men
become, that young men no longer
have a chance to excel, and hardly
to succeed in any calling, unless
they are trained directly for this
changed condition Of the time.

The person who does not make a
success of small things will not
make a success of larger things. If
David had made a failure of taking
care of the sheep and keeping off
the wild beasts he would not have
made a successful attach on Goliah.
The only way a person can be sue
cessful in the future is to be sue
full now. If a boy has been sue
cessful as a farm hand, if he has
been successful in his first week of
school, in his first month of the
year, and ends in the same way, he
has something substantial to stand
on to make a success of the next
thing he undertakes.

Convlets still at Large.

Bismarck, July 28.-Clues
for the apprehension of the four
uncaptured convicts from the
penitentiary are numerous, but
the men have not yet been cap
tured.
Police officers believe the
men were concealed here seve-
raj days. As evidence it is
pointed out two horses were
stolen Wednesday.
Guards at the penitentiary
believe two of the men have
gotten away on the troop trains
which left last Saturday for
Mercedes. One of the escaped
prisoners was a former soldier.
A thorough search of the
troop train was made several
times enroute but no traces of
the escaped men found.
