APPLAUSE AND
S0BS GREET HER
AS Mrs. Terence Mac
Swiney Tells Story of
Her Late Husband
COMMITTEE
IN WASHINGTON
She Tells Also Of Attempts
to Throttle Irish De-
velopment"

Washington, d. c., Dec. 9.--The life
story of the late Terence MacSwiney
lord mayor of Cork, who died as re
suit of hunger strike while in Brix
ton Jail, London, was told to-day by
his wife to the commission of the COM
| mittee of 100 investigating the Irish
| question. Mrs. MacSwiney's accounts
of the numerous arrests of her hus-
band, his efforts on behalf of free
Irish nation and the actions of the
British government in attempting to
throttle Irish development" were
punctuated alternately by applause
and sobs.
Mrs. MacSwiney told of her mar
riage to the late lord mayor in Eng
land in 1907 just after her husband
had been released from one of the
many prison terms. She related how
their only baby was born while its fa-
ther was in jail in Belfast and how she
daily carried the child to visit the fa-
ther in prison.
Mrs. MacSwiney recounted the arrest
of the lord mayor on Aag. II. 1920,
and the beginning of his last hunger
strike. Her husband she said, was
charged with having had a code used
by the police and she asserted that this
was proper because of his position as
lord mayor. She was present at the
trial and said the lord mayor told her
hunger strike. She became convinced
then, she declared, that he would die of
starvation unless the British govern
ment granted his release.
After my husband made his speech

the future was to bring. The shock

Her husband exacted promise from

feials, however, said they would not

oner became unconscious, when they
would give him food, Mrs. MacSwiney
declared. Accordingly, five days before
the lord mayor died, the prison authori-
ties began feeding him, she asserted,
and continued to do so until his death.
Mrs. MacSwiney gave a vivid recital
of her experiences with the British Of

CARRYING SCHOOL TO FARMS
Method Is Working Out With Success
in Illinois.

Urbana, H., Dec. 9.--The newest set
of agricultural teachers-those who
have come to the farm boys at their
work in the open country-are max
ing great success, according to A. w
Nolan, assistant professor of agricul-
tural extension at the University OF
Illinois.
"Since the passage of the Smith
Hughes vocational education act in
1917, teachers of agriculture are now
at work in all the states of the Un-
ion," Professor Nolan said. These
teachers are employed for IL months
in the year. They are paid partly
from local funds and partly from fed
erel funds granted by the vocational
act
"Under the provisions of this law,
all students enrolling in vocational
agriculture, with teachers thus em-
ployed, must carry on for six months
of the year, as a required part OF
their course, farm project under the
supervision of the teacher.
"A teacher OF agriculture literally
lives with his boys during the sum
hici htoHtHrs ulitNbniR tntH Nhths
study and business in connection with
their farm projects. The boys IN these
classes are usually organized into voca-
tional clubs under which auspices trips
are taken to sales, fairs. universities,
agricultural exhibits, and good farms.
All of this reacts to the moral and
social, as well as the vocational and
agricultural education of the boys
For the fiscal year ending June 30,
1920, nearly 1000 schools had estab-
lished departments of vocational agri-
culture and over 5000 boys had en-
rolled in the work, carrying on the
farm practice as required The fed
eral board reported for the year that
the income from the projects Of the
boys carrying on the farm practice
was approximately 81 100000, a sum of
money larger than the federal grant
to the states for carrying on the work
in agriculture"
