With his old army associates Cen
eral Conner remained in close rela
tons to the last. At their gatherings
he was always welcome and their
highest honors both in the Grand
Army of the Republic and in the mill
tary order of the Loyal Legion of the
United States, he early received. His
war papers at meetings of the Loyal
Legion We're as admirable in literary
form as they were interesting in their
presentation of noteworthy personal
experience, or in their discussion Of
themes of national Importance. In
this connection mention should be made
of General Connor's memorial sketches
having reference to deceased members
of the Loyal Legion. These were al
ways carefully, Discriminatory drawn.
His tribute to the memory of General
Chamberlain. with whom he had been
so long and so intimately associated,
will readily be recalled by those who
had been printed.
General Conner was last in Portland
on Dec. Z, 1916, when the Maine com
mandery of the Loyal Legion cele-
braHd the fiftieth anniversary Of it's
organization. He was far from well
and it cost him no slight effort to make
the journey to Portland; but he. could
not be denied the opportunity Of
meeting his army companions on an
occasion of such very great interest
His last words to the Maine Command
cry were then spoken. A gracious pres

FORESTRY NEWS LETTER.

In preparation for the opening of
school on Oct. list, many improve
ments are being made at the school.
The barn has been completed with
the exception of painting. The chick
en- houses have been moved to their
permanent locations and their addit-
ions built. The out lots for the stock
have been fenced with good, five foot
woven wire fence and metal posts set
in cement. The machine shed, 16xN
feet has been completed and machin-
cry belonging to the school can now
be properly cared for. The two
shorthorn heifers loaned by Arthur
White and the Berkshire pigs purchas-
ed from him have been received. The
two Percheron mares which will be
loaned by Mr.. White will be received
just before the opening Of school.
Work on the new machine shop "a
started this week. This building
will be used for the metal and wood
work. It will be equipped with for
ges, anvils, metal lathe and the ap-
paratus, tools, etc., needed. The wood
working portion will be equipped with
benches and woodworking tools. This
will give room enough so that small
wooden buildings, 10 #. wide and Is
#. long can be erected complete inside
the shop. This will make it possible
to carry on large projects in farm
carpentry during the winter season,
something that has not been possible
in the past.
Carthon Petrie returned from Wis
consin last week, where he has been
working for the State Forestry COM
mission and has taken charge Of the
green house. Special paintings nave
been made with the view of provid-
ing the classes in domestic science
with the materials for their class
work. The interior of the potting
room is being finished and with the
increased facilities, it will be possible
to raise much larger quantities Of
plants in the green house than has
been the case in the past. AS soon
as possible, it is expected that we will
have plants for sale every Saturday
afternoon. An assortment of ferns,
and Towering plants, will be kept on
hand at all times.
The eleventh annual catalog has
been received from the printers and is
ready for distribution. This provides
for the agricultural, forestry and col
lege, and commercial course the
same as has been given during the
past year. There r also trade cour-
SEES in auto repairing, dressmaking,
gas and steam engineering, millinery,
radio communication and telegraphy.

The eleventh annual catalog of the
State School Of Agriculture and For
estry has been received. We notice
in looking it over, the especially.
strong courses in agriculture that are
now being offered by the school. The
agricultural course for young men
and women is three years in extent
and runs for six months each year
These courses open on Oct. LIST and
close on March 20. These courses are
very practical in their nature and are
open to students who have completed
the seventh grade. Much additional
agricultural equipment is now being
secured by the school for this years
work. Horses, cows, pigs, sheep and
poultry have been secured and addi-
tional buildings have been erected. The
boys short course in agriculture will
be given in cooperation with the Bet
ter Farming Agents, Mr.. Henderson
and Mr.. Humphreys. The adult short
Jul in agriculture will start on Jan.
21st and close on Jan. 25th. The var
ious phases of home life, with special
reference to agriculture will be COW
cred with lectures, demonstrations and
exhibits. The full particulars about
this course will be published about
Nov. LIST.
The course in forsetry prepares
students for working in growing and
caring for trees and for positions as
landscape gardeners, landscape engin-
GERS and city foresters. We find that
this course is unique in that it is the
only place in the country where a stu
dent may earn his expenses by work.
ing in the nurseries while obtaining
his professional training in this work.
We find that the commercial course
is particularly strong and gives pre-
paration that makes a student COM
petent to enter office work upon COM
pletion of this course 1t ought to be
especially popular at this time owing
to the demand for office help that is
bound to arise as a result of war con-
ditions.
We note with particular favor the
various trade courses that are being
by the school. Among these
may be mentioned auto repairing,
dressmaking, gas and steam engineer
ing, millinery, radio communication
and %telegraphy. The course in radio
communication and t~elegraphy is par
ticularly interesting at the present
time because it prepares young men
for service in the United States Navy.
The course is nine months in extent
and students upon completion of it, if
they pass the examination, can go i'm
mediately to the government schools
where they will complete their course
in % weeks. Upon entering the gov
eminent schools, their pay will start.
The class in telegraphy will be open
to young women and will fit them for
railroad and commercial station posi-
tons. See page 81 of the catalog for
