One can get from fifteen to twenty
shines from ten cent box Of polish.
Boys usually get hair cut twice Q
month making from about six to. eight
dollars a year. A barber shop could
be established in the high school ana
have the boys learn the barber trade,
Credit also would be given for this
curse.
A pressing and cleaning shop could
be formed and both boys and girls
suits cleaned and pressed under the
direction OF a teacher and credit given
for this.
Girls should learn to make bread,
pies and cakes which might help to
lower the cost Of this line Of food.
Fourteen local high school boys un'
der the supervision of Mr.. Musgrave,
the agricultural teacher, are farming
aboat four acres of ground on Bell run.
The gardens are planted in various veg
etables and are progressing nicely.
Including the plots near the high
school building there are about five
acres of ground under the cultivation
of the high school students.

Agricultural Notes What Falrmont
High School Can Do to
Help the War.

The war is more serious than most
people think 1t to be. This war will
not be settled in short period of time.
After it is over it will take the United
States many years to get back to nor
mai conditions. Every one should be
concerned about this war. Everyone
has something to do, he should find out
what he is best suited for and do what
ever part he takes and do 1t we'll.
There are many ways in which Fair
mont High school can help to carry
on the greatest war in all history. Ow-
ing to high cost Of leather and to save
shoes, the high school could establish
a cobbler shop and have some ont
train the boys to mend shoes and re-
ceive credit for their work. They could
mend their own shoes and also mend
others shoes, The only expense would
ba the exact cost Of leather It took to
repair the shoes.
Instead OF paying ten to fifteen cents
for a shoe shine, shine your own shoes

held at Morgantown. The weather was
ideal, and the track was In good con-
dition. In fact the meet as a whole
was ono Of the best the Monongahela
Valley Athletic Association ever held.
Seven teams were entered namely,
Morgantown, Fairmont, Warrington,
Weston, BuckhannOn and Clarksburg.
Buckhannon did not appear, so six
teams were left to contest for the med
ais.
Morgantown won the meet with only
three points behind. Weston was third
and Warrington fourth, while Clarks-
burg did not score a single point. Al.
though Fairmont did not earn first
place honors, she showed that she pos
sessed good material and that what
her team needed was practice. Even
then Fairmont boys took four of the
first places and Morgantowu only took
four of them. Our team is applying
for adnissin to the track meet, which
is tu be hel dat Waynesburg on May

DEFECTS IN BRITISH
 SYSTEM OF EDUCATION
Are to be Remedied by important Re-
 forms After the War.

London, May 4.-One important reform which England plans to in augurate after the war has to do with it's system of education. The present system, or lack of system has been found so full of defects, that a com mittee has spent year studying the problem, and it's findings and recom- mendations are shortly to be embod- jed in a report to the house of com mons by Herbert A. L. Fisher, presi- dent of the beard of education.
 In alta cking its own educational problem, England naturally looks to Germany which country it Is admitted faces its otherwise dubious economic future with at least one advantage of which nothing can deprive them--a system of national education which is not only admittedly moro thorough in conception than the English but Is q working concern. which has already yielded to Germany a rich harvest Of social and economic benefit.
 The substance of what the English committee recommends is, briefly, longer period of full-time education,
