carpentry, harness repairing and rope
work. For the second semester farm
crops will be continued and a related
subject as botany or zoology will be
substituted for the shop work. Thus
the boy will make two credits each
year in agriculture, two in related work
in some of the sciences and he will be
enabled to elect such general high
school subjects as will complete his
years schedule. ..
The second year of agriculture will
include work in the judging, feeding.
care and management of livestock. With
this will be given some related study
in farm sanitation and veterinary prac-
tice. Field trips will be made as in
the farm crops year and all work will
be carried out under as practical con-
ditions as are possible. The keeping
of records will be emphasized and each
boy will work out a simple system of
cost accounting for his home farm.
The maximum number of students
which can be accommodated in this
work at the present time is thirty. The
work is open to any boy over fourteen
years of age and he can take the course
along with his high school course, or
without entering high school, This
year there will be an attempt to ar

Smith Hughes agriculture or vocal
tional agriculture as it is popularly
known in Iowa, is a new course in the
high schools of the state. The work is
being organized under the provisions Of
the Snith=HugheS act. passed in 1917,
which provides for the establishment OF
vocational agriculture departments in
high schools. The department Is main
tained under state and federal super
vision and the salary of the instructor
is paid in part from federal funds.
1t is not the purpose Of the training
to replace college agriculture or to at
tempt to train agricultural experts. The
work must be of less than college grade
and is arranged In such form as to give
the boys practical, useful training which
will he of value to them along with
their farm experiences. Every boy e,l-
rolled in the work is required to spend
his summer on the farm where he can
apply some of the things he has learn
ed during the year In the applied
work" he keeps records and accounts
of one or more farm enterprises and
prepares reports showing what part. he
has had in the farm operations of the
summer This summer work is car
'ried out under the direction of the SUI
.peryisor with the cooperation of the
farm manager.
Is Denison high school has vocational
agriculture department which was or
ganized in, 1918. The work has been
on half time basis in the past but will
be changed this year to the full time
schedule and two year course will be
offered. The first year Of work will
be general course in farm crops, in
cluding discussions of plants, insects,
soils, machinery and farm management.
There will be two periods day devoted
to farm crops and with it two periods

record.
Progress in vocational education as
contemplated by the Smith Hughes bill
has been satisfactory to those in charge
of the work the past year. In it's an
nual report the state board of vocation
al training reported that during the
past season twenty short term classes
in vocational agriculture were conduct
ed with the prospects that there will
be an increase of fifty to seventy-five
per cent next year. In vocational
trades and Industries there were twen-
ty.one classes, sixteen continuation
classes six in trade extension and eight
in unit trade. In vocational home eco
nomics there were eighteen classes with
a total enrolment of $40. Eleven all
the year round departments in public
schools were conducted,

that some parents are wholly indiffer-

She says that Il great many people

as it provides for the elimination of the

SAYS: TOO often autoiSts are forced in
to IL ditch or off the road because an
opposing or oncoming auto is equipped
with glaring headlights The state law
demands that the glare be minimized
by use of such light or lens as will rem

secretary of state is. required by law
to ask enforcement of the motor law
in detail and as state highways are
built with auto tax funds we wish the

enforcement ask your best efforts in

That Iowa people are thrifty is
shown by a. report of the comptroller

i 900 persons in the state had accounts

The state is making money from the
various industries featured at the pen

period were sos, ,346.34. thus leaving
net profit of $52,Ss3.59 for the state.
The prison returned approximately
