work of Manual Training. This
work will be installed in the large
room on the second floor of the CEN

training possible for those interest
ed. Penn college is located in an ag-
ricultural district and the manage
ment has concluded that instruction
along the lines in which students
will most probably be engaged is of
great importance. 1t is the inten-

along the line of agriculture until
opportunity will be afforded for stu

short courses will be conducted for
the benefit of those who may be able
to come into the college for few
weeks. In these arrangements it
is the hope that the college will be
able to serve more practically those
who patronize it.
