FARM SCHOOL
Information

A short time ago an article was
published telling of the farm schools
that are to be held in Wood County
during the winter. Some questions
have been asked about these schools
The schools are for boys between
fourteen and twenty who are not at
tending any other school. Any ore
desiring to attend any or all of the
meetings will be welcome.
The expense to those attending will
be very small. The salary of the in
structor is paid by the Federal gov
eminent. Incidental expenses are
paid by the County Agricultural
School. The community in which the
school is held is asked to furnish a
suitable room with stove and fuel or
other means of heating; also any
equipment that can not be used again
as sand and cement for work in con-
crete. In all cases of construction
the articles constructed, as for in
stance concrete posts, will become the
property of the one furnishing the
material.
There should be at least five boys
enrolled before a school will be started
A class of twenty would be better.
The boys will be expected to carry
on work during the following summer
under the supervision of the instruct
