Prof. H. s. Cassell takes the
place of Prof. j. w. Askew resigned
in the agricultural school. Prof.
Cassell comes to US highly recon-
mended having taught several years
in his chosen profession. The boys

Cassell and great things are expect
ed from HIM this session. Prof.
6assell will have charge of boys

Several inquiries have been re-
ceived from parents relative to the
cost of attending the agricultural
high school. The cost will be about
S11.O0 per month for board, coal,
wood and cook hire. This is at
cost and is about what the cost at
home is with the exception of coal,
wood and cook hire extra. If you
do not have to buy wood coal and
pay for cook hire at home the cost
here will be little more than the
cost at home on this account.
