granted. | do not anticipate that any

NO FARM WORK THIS YEAR

Experiment Last Summer Unsatis-
factory, Provost Says, and Will
Not Be Repeated

The results Of the experiment made by
the University of Pennsylvania 'ast
summer in releasing students from class
work 10 enable them TO engage in farm
work were so unsatisfactory, according
% Provost Edgar +. Smith, that it has
been definitely decided not to repeat the
Experiment this year.
Instead. the authorities Of the uni
versity have decided TO give all the en-
rouragement possible to. the Reserve Of
Gers Training Camp, a branch of
which has been established at the insti.
tuition under the direction Of Major
'harles Griffiths, L. S. 4.
Last year between 1900 and 1900 stu
1onts were released from the University
in the early part of May to permit them
sto take up farm work. II was found.
Ncording to Provost Smith. that in
many instances they were more Of a.
hndrance than help to the farmer. as
they were for the most part wholly un-
accustomed to the work and had to be
taught the very rudiments of farming
oling that the good accomplished did
not compensate for u loss Of time from
college duties, 1t was decided not to
make the same experiment this year.
