NEW AGRICULTURAL COURSE PRACTICAL There has long been felt a need for providing in our high schools a course of study which would tit the boy or girl for some useful occupation. Num erous attempts have been made in var ious cities throughout the United States to provide such training. Some schools have succeeded to a greater or less extent, but no wide spreading move has been made to extend the work. Since lNi2, when the congress of the United Slates provided for the United States Department of Agriculture and established a system of agricultural colleges under the Land Grant act, the federal government has assisted from tune to tune in the spread of agricul tural education throughout the country. All of the acts passed by congress re lating to agricultural education had dealt with institutions giving instruc tion of college grade. In order to stimulate the vocational movement in our high schools, con gress passed in February, l'.'lT, what is known as the Smith-Hughes act, which gives federal a.d to institutions of less than college grade that desire to establish a departmentjif vocational agriculture. A Federal Board of Vocational Edil cation was created, which deals with a State Board of Vocational Education that each state must provide in the ad ministration of the workings of the Smith-Hughes act. In order for any school to receive federal aid, the following conditions must he met : 1. Schools must be under public su pervision or control. 2. The controlling purpose of the ed ucation must be to tit students for use ful employment. .'!. The instruction in the school must be of less than college grade. 4. Persons taking the course must be over 11 years of age, and either en tered upon or preparing to enter upon the work of the farm. f. Every dollar of federal funds must be matched by a dollar of state or local funds or both. Vocational agricultural education means a training that will fit persons for the tillage of the soil, the care of animals, rural engineering, fruit grow ing and other productive work on the farm. Many schools over the United States have established vocational depart ments by means of the Smith-Hughes act and Hood River high school is one of the first in Oregon to take advan tage of the federal act.

Dunbar Tuesday received a letter from her son, Earl Dunbar, member of an artillery regiment as sembled at Fort Stevens and one of the batteries of which was made up partly of men from the old 12th Co. stating that his unit would leave im mediately for active service on the front.
