schools. realizing that vaccinations
after school entrance have caused a
loss Of much time, has arranged with
the city board of health for vaccina-

IS FARMER BOYS AT
TRACTOR SCHOOL


While the extra session Of the legrs-
lature is debating the all-important
topic of better roads, a group OF
thirty-flve farmer boys from Virginia.
West Virginia, and North Carolina
are learning road making at the Ford
son Tractor school, operated by the
Universal Motor company, of this city.
This is a new feature added to the
school curriculum and it is inau-
gurated under suspicious circum-
stances. The present session mas the
largest enrolment since the school
started. 1t opened last Monday.
Following the preliminary work of
blowing with the Fordson tractor. the
boys will see and help with road
work. operating the big country road
scraper with tractor power. This
scraper is usually pulled by eight
mules. But one OF the laws of the
school is: "All work must be done
with the tractor"
Manager Winston, having already
done much road work with this kind
of power. believes that this new fea-
ture Of study will result in greater
interest and value to the boys.
