NEW COURSE FOR SCHOOL
OF AGRICULTURE AT u. FARM

A horticultural and nursery training
course has been added to the curriculum
Of the School of Agriculture at Universe
ty Farm and will be offered to students
for the first time at the new school year
opening October 2. Such subjects as
farm horticulture, agricultural botany,
Horticulture, commercial vegetable gar
dening, greenhouse construction and
management, landscape gardening, seed
testing, nursery seeds and seeding, in
sect pests of plants, and small fruit
growing, besides the regular farm STU
dies, will be included in the new course
which will run for three years.
Three qualifications, besides good
character, are required for boys for entry
to the school. They must be at least
IT years of age, must have finished
eighth grade work and have had practi-
cal farm experience of at least six months.
The girls also must have completed their
grade studies and be II years of age.
Large sums are being spent in remodel
ing the dormitories for use of school stu
dents at University Farm. Pendergast
Hall will be thoroughly modernized, and
rooms formerly used for hospital purposes
in the boys new do1initory will be re-
modelled and converted into living rooms.
The heating and ventilating systems of
the girls dormitolies have been material
ly improved, and all rooms thoroughly
renovated with new plaster and paint.
Work is we'll advanced in remodeling the
Old Home building which hereafter will
be used for hospital purposes. "

outside would collapse with the slightest
strain. The danger Of such pipes in
easements, often near wooden partitions
and ceilings, is evident, but only an in
spection would reveal the interior weak
ness. -.
These warnings should be especially
emphatic as to dwellings, for basement
fires are apt to get under dangerous head
way before they are discovered, and
when they occur at night life as well as
property is endangered Special atten-
tion should also be paid to furnace pipes
and smoke vents in churches and schools,
because of the large numbers Of people
whose lives are at risk. School boards
and church trustees, working on the
theory of personal responsibility Tor
preventable fires, should pay special at
tention to these danger points, and if
necessary, the metal smoke pipes eaG-
ing from the furnace to the chimney
should be replaced each year to insure
safety. An ounce of fire prevention is
worth pound of fire extinguishment.
Other Kinds of Fuel.
A number of householders are inyesti-
eating the possibility of using fuel oil
and kerosene burners in their furnaces.
because Of the difficulty in securing hard
coal and their unwillingness to use soft
coal because of the dirt and SCOT. This
also will introduce serious fire hazards,
because of the storage Of oil on the
premises, and the danger of feed pipes
bursting and starting fires. No such ap-
pliance should be considered without
ascertaining whether it complies with
the underwriters requirements.
Fire hazards which endanger the
homes should be watched with special
care, as the mothers and children run
the greatest risk. All heating appliances
should be installed and operated with
constant attention to the unusual risks
due to the changes in fuel, as well as to
their ordinary dangers. * zfE .sI
