School has worked out a system Of
teaching agriculture to farm boys anC
girls by actual practical experience
that far surpasses anything of the
kind in the United States.''

OF Cloquet, Mimi, have appropriated
$4,000 for two industrial fellowships
IN the biochemistry of paper making
and wood utilization. The money has
