of the assassination Of Abraham
Lincoln, the chaos of blind pas
sion that followed, the revolution
it produced In our Government,
and the bold attempt to African
ize ten great States Of the Ameri-
can Union. The men who enact
this drama Of fierce revenge, in
to which double love story is
woven, are real historical figures,
with merely their names changed.
The vivid picture given of the
young South, led by the Clans
men Of Old Scotland how they
went forward under this cover
and against overwhelming odds
daring exile, Imprisonment and a
felon's deathand saved the life
of her people, is very thrilling.
There is hardly an incident Of his
torical nature in this book that is
not based on actual facts. This
study was easily correlated with
our study Of American History
and Government.
Next week we expect to discuss
common mistakes in grammar.

EDITORIAL.

We are quite proud Of the en-
deavors of the Seniors as a class.
To our principal belongs the
credit for the production Of the
Angle-Crest Reporter. The farm
as whole is suggestive Of the tt
tie bestowed upon this our paper.
Every building on the campus
is set at an angle to each Of the
rest. The three main buildings
are not in line although they do
not form such a marked angle.
The Home Science Cottage is at a.
different angle with these build
ings and the barn forms still
different angle. The laundry
house is no exception to the rule
and also forms a diverse angle.
Our walks of course follow the
lines of the buildings which makes
them angles of all sizes. Even
the fence which encloses the
campus forms many sided figure
with no regular shape or symme-
try.
The latter part of the name was
suggested by the hill which rises
in the rear of the buildings, form
ing a neat little crest. The name
is very original and altogether
appropriate. We hope that the
result for which we strive will be
the reward Of our endeavors to-
ward this achievement,

AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT

It being the purpose Of the Ag-
ficQltural department to faunil-
uarize the boys with such things
as farmers should know. Mr.. Ber-
ly and Mr.. Cunningham. the super
visors Of the agricultural depart
ment, have been doing all they
could to give the boys such things
ais will be of value to them when
they have completed the course.
The past week was largely de-
voted to the efficiency Of different
kinds Of feeds and went into de-
tails with it, as the text book mere
" gave an idea, as to the efficiency
OF feeds, the class was given a
more thorough discussion from
other books. When after the ele-
ments OF different kinds Of feeds
are found, the next step Is to find
the amount Of each for the main
tainance Of the animal which is
termed balanced ration. It Is
very necessary for farmers to
know and understand a balanced
ration, because they can feed their
animals and get a higher profit.
A more thorough explanation will
be given In next weeks volume, on
the different kinds of balanced
ration.
The Senior Class is required

the practical time that is required,
on models Of the necessities about
a farm, on days that work could

try houes, farm level, road drag,
