AGRICULTURAL Education

Ohio farmers have always been
great believers in education, both
for themselves and for their chill
dren. Each year in the state coli
leges and universities more stu
dents list themselves as sons and
daughters OF farmers than is the
case for any other occupational
group.
As early as 1879, Ohio State Uni
versity conducted free "agricul-
tural lecture class with sessions
spread over four-week period.
Twenty-Five counties were repre-
sented in the initial enrolment OF
101 that year.
The students elected as their
officers: Edward KimbaI, Butler
county, president; w. H. Innis,
Franklin county, John Coad, Lick
ing county, and Nat e. Brooks, I'm
ion county, vice presidents; and
Horace Ankley, Greene county, Sec
retary.
Twenty-Five years earlier, in 1854,
courses of lectures for farmers were
conducted three successive winters,
two years at Oberlin and one in
Cleveland. The faculty included
DR.. Norton S. Townshend, then a
member of the Ohio Senate; Pro-
fessors Fairchild and Dascomb of
Oberlin, ana DR.. John S. NeWberry,
of Cleveland.
With the opening of Ohio State
University in 1873, formal training
in agriculture was made available.
The first graduate from this course,
in 1885, was William P. Bentley, of
Wilmington.
Around 1881 the first farmers
Institutes were held in various sec
tions of the state. Largely respon-
sible for this movement was w. /.
Chamberlain, then secretary of the
state board Of agriculture. The in
stitutes met with ready reception,
and their numbers and attendance
have steadily increased through the
years. The attendance last year to-
tailed 8S3,794.
The first farmers week, now an
annual event in Columbus, wss held
in 1913, with an attendance of 140,
although something of the sort had
been held earlier, in 1881. By 1920
the attendance had reached 5,672,
and last year it was $3.50.

Transnortation Costs For pupils

Transportation Costs For Pupils
Elimination of the "little red
schoolhouse'' in favor OF the CEN
tralized system has resulted in an
annual expenditure of $4,159,-
816 for transportation costs, it
was stated by DR.. D. H. Sutton of
the state department of education
when he appeared before the special
legislative committee on education
The transportation problem involves
high school pupils who live more
than four miles from centralized
school and elementary pupils who
reside further than two miles He
predicted that transportation costs
will increase $385,0O0 annually af.

this system as we'll as the outright
ownership of busses by township

Federal Advance for Needs
This Week, Pending Con-

The Federal Government will ad-
vance additional relief funds to the
District to meet needs for this week
while Congress is acting on the Pres
idents new relief program.
District officials were notified yes
terday funds would be granted as
needs were certified. The direct and
work relief programs will be continued
as usual, although the last grant was
calculated to meet operations only
through yesterday.
Reporting an increase of 207 cases
on relief during the last month, FL
wood Street, director Of welfare, said
many persons apparently were apply
ing for relief now so that they would
be eligible for jobs under the Pres
ident's work relief program.
On December 81, there we're 22,571
cases on relief. This number was
raised to 22,778 by the end Of
January, he said. A total of 1891
cases was dropped during the month,
but new cases brought a net increase
Of POT in the load.
The case work staff, he said, is
doing a more thorough job in tlimi-

Powell Won Fame as Painter
With Help of Mrs. Henderson

included in the art collection at Hen
derson Castle.
Out of that brief, businesslike meet
ing in Powell's modest studio grew a
lasting friendship between artist and
patron that played no small part in
Powell's ascending career in the realm
of international art. 1t was Mrs.
Henderson, it is said, who first called
Powell the American Turner" be-
cause Of the striking similarity be-
tween his works and those of the great
British landscape artist.
200 Paintings Bought.
Before death ended Powell's re-
markable career in 1880 at the age
of "a, the friendship had been marked
by the purchase of some 200 of Powell's
paintings by Mrs. Henderson. 1t was
Mrs. Henderson's oft-repeated plan
to have most of these pictures hung
In a special section Of a new building
for the National Gallery of Art. In
her will she gave the gallery the choice
of as many of the works as the insti-
tuition desired. Her condition that
the pictures must be kept together
perpetually prevented the gallery from
accepting any of them, however. The
gallery has an outstanding example
of Powells work in the Grand Can
yon Of the Yellowstone River" gift
of Mrs. Henderson many years ago.
BY a trick Of fate Mrs. Henderson
and Powell we're i'll in the same hos
pital at the same time not long before
the artists death. She regained suf-
ficient strength to visit the critically
sick painter in his room at the in
stitution. Powell died in September
of 1880 and Mrs. Henderson was deep
ly affected She suffered a relapse
and went to her Summer home in Bar
Harbor, Me, to recuperate, only to
die there in July Of 1881.

Approximately 35 years ago, viva
cious little woman, well along in years,
walked into the studio of Lucien Pow
ell, in the old Corcoran Building, across
from the Treasury Building, and asked
to see the then not-so-widely known
Washington artist.
Powell was busy with a small art
class at the time and, in polite but firm
tones, he suggested that his unexpected
caller-whose name he did not quite
catch-have a seat and wait a little
while.
The visitor thanked him and said
she would spend her time inspecting
pictures In the studio. She appeared
intensely interested in the colorful
landscapes which Powell's magic brush
had created in dazzling abundance.
Paintings Purchased.
When the artist, about half an hour
later, dismissed his students and re-
turned to his unknown woman caller,
the latter, in matter-of-f tones, in
quired If the paintings on display were

asking about prices, II will take this
one, and this one, and this one, and
that one over there"
AS she spoke, she walked quickly
from picture to picture and indicated
her selections. Then she opened her
purse, pulled out check book, and
asked the astonished artist the price
for the lot. He named figure hesi-
tantly, fearing it might be too high.
but the customer scribbled out check
for the amount without quibbling.
handed it to Powell and announced,
before leaving. that she would send
for the pictures later.
Powell waited for his customers
carriage to get out Of sight, and then
hurried, with some misgivings, to the
bank.

teller whom he knew.

The teller read the signature, Mary

he replied. THAT is Mrs. John B.
