AFTER' SCHOOL WHAT? You will undoubtedly continue in some form of farm Work or other, but how about your plans Eve years hence?

This day marks the end of the career of the class of 1921 in Farm School. To- morrow, we go forth into the world to take our place among men to do the work fate has assigned to us. We are prepared to go, but not before' we have paid our last tribute to our Alma Mater. 1 Friends, we welcome you. This is our class day and we appreciate that your presence is evidence of your willingness to help make this the memorable day of the three years we spent here. Three years ago, we entered this institution, thirty- flve young men answering the roll call. But we are not all here today. Fate has thinned out our ranks to twen- ty-two who have completed the task they undertook in the spring of 1918. Yes, how well we remember that year when nations were contesting with shot and shell for supremacy of the world. Amidst the cries of despair from the war stricken countries came the cry for food- Thousands of people were starving.. From every pulpit and from every plat- form, men were preaching greater food conservation. Hence our motto- To Farm is to Arm. Classmates, todav we sever the bonds of our active participation in the affairs of Farm School. The richness of a man's life is measured by his accomplishments. Let us always remember the parting words of Polonius to Laertes: This above all to thine ownself be true and it must follow, as the night the day, thou cans't not then be false to any man. To the Faculty we are indebted. for their guidance during our stay here. Your teachings are invaluable to us. We thank you for your efforts and interest during theee three years that helved shape our lives. 2 THE GLEANER ' What a different school we are leaving in 1921 than in which we entered in 1918. Thanks to the tireless ef- forts of our President and Founder, Rev. Dr. Joseph Krauskopf and to the Board of Directors that in the-se three years the National Farm School has become a big- ger and better institution. PHILIP TRUPIN, '21, .. + D 1 Life is real!

It would be an assurance most dear, To know this moment some loved one Was saying, I wish he were here. To feel that the group at the fireside Was thinking of me as I roam, It would be joy beyond measure To know they missed me at home. Do they set me a chair at the table, When the evening pleasures are nigh, When the candles are lit in the parlor And the stars twinkle in the sky? When the good nights are repeated, And all lay down to their sleep, Do, they think of their beloved one, And wish him good-night while they sleep.

THE GLEANER 3 Zase jfis-Esozrg This day is a memorable one- Not only is it full of memory to us but also to our friends, who have watched us grow to our present manhood. Today we tell the his- tory of our class life, recount its defeats and victories and honor those classmates who made our organization worthy of memory at this institution. I present the Class '21 as a sheaf of ripened grain, sown and grown on the grounds of the National Farm School. Twenty-three sheaves have been garnered by our Alma Mater before, but unlike the events that en- veloped the earlier fruit, ours was born under dishearten- ing times. We were sown and culivated when war plow- ed and furrowed- the entire globe. Today we are the pro- duct of that seed-full grown with a great significance to the starving reaper and harvester-the world- Like a plant whose life history is divided into three divisions-the seed, its growth and the fruit, our life history too, is presented into three different periods cor- responding respectively to the plant,-the Freshmen, Junior and Senior year. Our Freshmen year represents the seed. What a variety! They came from Tennessee, Virginia, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey. Such seed !-and all to take root on this well prepared seed bed -the National Farm School. Our stay at this school for the first year was not a happy one with relations out side our own class group. For a time we were filled with stress and hate, but midst the common desires, our brawls disapeared. To Morris Glick belongs the honor for the wonderful aid he gave us in ascertaining our rights from the upper classmen. We regret that he is not here with us to share our joy and sorrow today. The spring of our freshmen year saw us get into athletic stride. For the first time since we can recall to our memory, four of our men represented us on the varsity baseball team. Hounk Zinn was the star twirl- er that year and kept his position on the mound for three successive years. Today, like many of us he leaves, much to the regret of the students. Piggy Mills then in our class, Was behind the bat, Summer Smith and Morris 4 THE GLEANER Glick were there too. All with that twenty-one -spirit. We have the honorable distinction of beating the Juniors in the annual baseball tournament-a feat that has occurred only twice in the history of our school. But what a game! In spite of the many threats of our adversary, every soul was in the game. To Hounk Zinn and Mills, our batteries, too much mention cannot be made. It was the twirling of Zinn with the super- guidance of Mills, that resulted in our victory, 4-1. After this game our minds were no longer on athle- tics, at least for the season. Work, real work followed' Who does not remember the days spent in the haymow? Tho laborious-yet enjoyable. And the Neshaminy, whose placid water bathed and gave boundless joy to our weary bodies. That summer was a happy one. Enter fall. Autumn found us both at a loss of some of our classmates and also at new additions. Mills, Smith and Goldberg were advanced to the junior class. In return Iv 3 received Samuels who proved to be a wonderful asset to our athletic world. Harry Krauss came and proved an asset as business manager of the Gleaner. Taube arrived a few days later, now he leaves the editorship of the Gleaner Later came Statman, who proved a worthy car- toonist for our magazine. We soon organized ourselves again under the lead- ership of Di Veto. Once again we were beginning to feel that spirit that has for us won our first fracas with the Juniors. It was time for our second battle with the upper- classmen. This time for football supremacy. Although the odds were against us, we were confident of victory. Nothing could in the least effect our '21 spirit. With Zinn, who played halfbackg Greenwald, who proved to be an iron wall on the line and with Cooper, Silverman, Taube, DiVeto, Gross, Statman, Swerdlou, nothing could make us feel discouraged. But-then-the inevit- able! The morning before the game, Samuels, our quar- terback, while being drunk with enthusiasm, injured his hand. Had this occurred during the game, the loss would not been so great-but with fate against us our spirit was broken. Our players were broken hearted- In such a condition we entered the game. But once started we fought desperately and fell before our adversaries. They beat us 20-0. The close of our Freshmen year was nearing. In the distance we saw the great responsibilities that would be put upon us. Ever mindful Qi! Qui' task We S-HW the THE GLEANER 5 lack of centralized student government. We became Juniors, and under the leadership of Trupin, our thoughts became actions. We proposed a system of self- government. The Seniors refused our plans and the idea was dropped for the time. The second baseball season was nearing, and the spring of our Junior year found enthusiasts on the James Work Athletic Field. Greenwald, Stone, Samuels, Zinn and Silverman played on the varsity team, which proved to be the best in the history of the school. During the summer the work was not so tiresome. Ourexperience, with our theoretic knowledge helped us to conquer many a task that only a year ago seemed a physical impossibility. We took active part in the social life of our school and in so doing our pleasant summer sped rapidly. This summer we took our second baseball toll from the Freshmen. We trounced them to 24-6. So sped our second summer- Once again our books were taken from their shelves. Classes were resumed with fervor. It was not long after classes started when we received a well known ex-soldier into our class. He was Abraham Krotoshinsky, the hero of the Lost Bat- talionf' i .It was at this time that the athletic fever enveloped us. Our class again proved ourselves to be great enthusi- asts. Our enthusiasm provedits purpose. Fifty per cent of the 1920 varsity football team were members of the '21 class. The team proved the greatest in the history of the school. The team was captained and managed by two ex-'21 men, Mills and Smith. Our spirit was kept aiire until after our third victory. In the final inter-class foot- ball tournament we proved the victors over the Fresh- men-52-0. Our Junior year was at an end, and the great re- sponsibilities that once loomed from the distance, were now facing us. The old idea, that our school lacked a centralizec' government began to make its assertions. This time, with positive results. Immediately the organi- zation was becoming a part of the school. The student council was a representation of all classes and organiza- tions of the school. Altho the idea and purpose of the council was that of the highest, yet in its organization we met our iirst real defeat. Not becauseof lack of ability, not because of being impracticable, but because of lack of co-opera- tion on part of the underclassmen. Being younger they G THE GLEANER lacked the- spirit of self-organization and within a period of six months we disbanded the council. But we rejoice tonight at our contributions to the school. During our stay-twenty-seven letters were awarded to members of our class- It is the largest number of awards to any one class during three years stay at Farm School. A We must not forget the Gleaner. Attention toward our publication was never neglected, and since it. was put under our care it has won the aprobation from its many readers. f 'Tis but a few days, and the sharp edge of Time wil cut the cord of friendship that has bound our shief. Then we will become seed 'once more! Not to take on new growth on Farm School soil, but upon the ground, stamped and tramped 'neath the footsteps of life. Upon this soil we are to take root. Upon this soil we are to grow, and continue another new page in our history. What sort of history are we going to write? .

Dear Fate. I have often tried to learn your secret, but no matter how hard I tr yto find out, no matter into what depths I may pry the only satisfaction I can get is from your tireless fore-runner who continually whispers his name, Time, Time! It was back in 1921, just a few days past February 22, when I first got the longing to know you. Besides this longing I had ambitions to follow, a goal to seek and a name to make. But I weighed them all and thought Af- ter I reached my goal what then? How long would it take? Would it be ten years? I cried to you, but your only answer was from your fore-runner Time , Work and wait those two I must do. I could do neither without the other. But to work-to use energy, just to see the results not for mine. There must be a way in only waiting. . But I soon realized it would not be my own fate I would thus see, but that of others. And why not others? I had friends in my old class that I thought it worth to worry about so I would try the experiment Cm them- But to lose myself for ten years and not work. It seemed impossible. I would trust in you, Fate, and per- haps you would tell me. Ambition was always there ad- vising me how to work it, but like ambition it was al- ways unsatisfactory. lt suggested that I go to Borneo and spend ten years in trying to teach the cannibals to raise polar bears. But what if they would eat me? It chilled me to the bones at he thought of it. Then it tried to coax me to kill myself and take the chance of being incarnated ten years later. But what a chance? What if I were incarnated in the form of a leech? Horrors! I wouldn't be more than a sucker. I threw away all ambitions of solving the problem, when thanks to you Fate, Disgust came along with a helping hand. There's only one thing for you to do, It said, and that is get pinched. Do something unlawful and be lock- ed up in the cooler for ten years. There they will feed you, clothe you and you will lead a lazy life. After ten years you can come out and see what Fate has done. 8 THE GLEANER That was the best advice I determined to be arrest- ed. But that was more work than holding down a job. First I stole a ladies pocket book and let her call the police. After she had quite a crowd of policemen and pedestrians about her I held out my wrists and said there. Arrest me. No, no! the woman cried. Officer, do not arrest him. I thought he was a thief but he's only hard up- Here my good man is five dollars. Perhaps it will help you. Oh, Fate! I could have cursed you then. I pocketed the money and strode away. I had tried once and failed. But I would play the spider and try, try again. I passed a pawn shop. In the window case. I saw a handsome re- volver. I would steal it. Break the case with a brick, swear, pick up the gun and run. I did a neat job a real thief could not do one better. I did not run twenty yards fl made sure I wasn't running too fasti when behind me galloped two policemen and the pawn broker. I had not run five more yards when I felt their .lovely hands grip my shoulder I was surely lucky this time. Young man, the officer said. You were seen stealing a revolver to commit suicide. Now don't tell me you don't want to kill yourself. I'm a student of psycho- logy and I've been employed by the police to do just this work, so keep quite and come along. Fate, once more I could have strangled you. They put me in the nut house, and treated me like a nut. . I was at the place two days when I started to get crazy myself. There was a beautiful girl there, just a year or so younger than myself-an angel on earth! Surely if anything would be a crime it would be to kill her, so in the dead of the night of the next day, I stole into her bed- chamber where she slept- What a pillowed angel with her flimsy hair streaming over her shoulders on the pil- low and the silvery moonbeam gently lighting her face- Oh, well it was all over in a few seconds. With trembling hands I grasped her swan like throat and strangled her. Just as I would have strangled you Fate, five minutes later if I could only get at you. She screamed twice, gasped and died. The room was soon filled with atten- dants. The head physician approached me. Oh, thought I, I have succeeded at last. Young mani' said he In the name of the sani- tarium let me extend our grateful thanks for doing the work we had planned to do tomorrow. She was our 'L 'f , . . , . ,Nl 0 1 I ..

To show our appreciation we will let you free and wish you success in your undertakings. I thank you. Wish me success in my undertakings! How those words rang in my ear. Success, bah! I cursed you. I cursed ambition, the police, jails, pawn bokers pretty women and every thing else I could think of. I went into a park and laid! down on a bench to rot. What else could I do? I lost faith in you, and as you controlled all happenings I lost faith in everything. To rot on a park bench that was best! But I wasn't rotting very long when a policeman woke me Young man, he said, I arrest you for loafing 'come along. Fate you instantly became my best friend. I loved everything. I loved ambition, the police, pawn brokers and pretty women- I was a happy man. The judge sentenced me to five years imprisonment.,I was so glad. I ran up to the judge and kissed him. Sir! he yelled! You have insulted the honor of the court. I sentence you to another five years imprison- ment! That was just what wapted. I kept on kissing him until my sentence reached ten years and then quit. I certainly was lucky. At jail they treated me fine. They put me behind the- bars and chained big balls to my feet to play with. I only received one meal a day, but that was a banquet. In the morning they give me an appetizer --bread and water. At noon came the big feed water and bread and in the evening they gave me the desert-bread and water. I asked for companionship so they gave me a yellow dog. I still have him, He's a good dog. e Well, to cut ten years down to a few lines! the time fled only too fast- I enjoyed myself got fat. raised a mus- tach and thought a lot about pawn brokers, pretty wo- men etc. and when my ten years were up, I shaved my- self and went out with my dog to see what you had done to my friends, my class mates. What are the boys doing now I wondered? I wished myself among them once more.- Hounk Babe Staat, Getz! What is cowboy doing now? Ten years ago he was catching horses in the workshop when Joe was out fixing drain pipe after some one thru a 10 THE GLEANER tobacco can into it. Some of Berts work, no doubt! or perhaps he was making love tothe cow girls in the stanchions. Sid! I wondered what he was, doing. Is he still running for president of the Amalgamated Pickle Union or is he trying to sell some poor persons moleskin coat to the Intercollegiate Skiho Club of Brazil? It did not take me long to act according to my deci- sion. I was soon on my way to the railroad' station with Homer, my dog at my heels, to, findif-I could, my old friends. I advanced the ticket office and asked for two tickets to Chciago. The clerk looked at me as if I were an escaped Napo- lean and asked what they were for. I told him for myself and my dog. We had been con- stantly together and were not going to part now. He laughed again and exclaimed, Hot dogs! I told him if he didn't mind his own business there would be a mad dog after a dog gone fool. He didn't have much more to say. I purchased the tickets and boarded th etrain. It felt good to sit in a train again. But I sat in the train two hours and! it did not go. I got out to seek the reason. Up in front, stretched under the engine was the greasy engineer, cussing in German at the engine. That cussing sounded familiar. I went up to the venerable sir and inquired of the trouble. Ach Himmel said he, Dot crank case cracked under der piston, she don't voik. ' Those words and that face were enough. Dutch, I cried. Good old Dutch, and still with your machinery! Well. wellii' Touff! Philosipher! Ver in der name from I-Iimmel did you come from? Groman! what are you doing. I-low is Hazel and how manv children have you? Touff! Now who'd a tinked it!

Go's Pretfv soon I vill call all der classmates up, und I vill tell dem to be THE GLEANER 11 on der watch from you, und you can find them easy then Vait voncef' Statman and his inventions again! Just like him, I thought. Presently Groman returned and I asked him if he was successful. Yes, said he, Dey vill vatch for you. But you must take dot odder train. Mine is all ga-smashed. Der boiler is busted und der smoke stack, I can't find him, und maybe two or three veels iss missing. So long, old boy und ven you come around again, just stop in und see der family. I bid him good-bye and left for the Windy City. While on the train I mused how strange it was that if some people will form a goal, they will strive for it no matter how laborsome the road to success is. Now there is a boy who knew only tractors and Hazel and he kept them in mind until he got them both. I don't doubt that but by this time he has Hazel- nuts from machinery. A night and a day on the train brought me to the City of the Sand Bags. The place had not changed much since I left it for school. I was walking about looking at old familiar silghts when some one bumped into me. Ugh, I said I beg your pardon sir, can't you see where you are going? Get out of my way with your cur. Can't a gentle- man walk into his oflice without bumping into every dirty beggar on the --Ye gods! Its Touff. Of all things !. Greenwald!

You leave it to Charlie, he said, I'll take you to one of the finest cabarets in town, and owned by a classmate of ours. I couldn't recollect any of the old gang wanting to be a restaurant owner, and I told him so. But he answered, You can't, eh? Well you didn't get the hint. Didn't get the scent that's all. He is chief cook too. And that menu of ' his! chocolate dumplings eight times a day for a little more than the asking. You get 'em hot. And what wonderful bread he makes. He is the best loafer in town. Note the notes. That is another classmate playing a horn in front of the restaurant to draw the crowds- I certainly did enjoy that day in Chicago. But more than that, that 11.00 a. m. dinner was great. Morris Kraus was the owner of the restaurant. Swerdlow and Sam Cooper played to draw crowds and during the rush hour Sam-Sam, the wonderful Russian acrobat left his horn and came into perform his famous Rushin' tricks. Sometimes Swerdlow would help him bv wrest- ling with a piece of steak. That certainly was a wonder- fullv organized cabaret. Moish was the owner, did the managing. baking and cooking besides washing the dishes when Swerdlow's wife was sick. Swerdlow and Gam-Ram supplied the entertainment. and Sam-Sam tasted the milk once a month to see that too much dirt shouldn't be in it. The poultry was supplied from the great organization Itzy, Krauss SQ Getzel Taube Poultry THE GLEANER 13 and Fertilizer Works situated at Pontaloonia, Wisconsin. They were well organized too. Krauss took care of the chickens and Taube supplied the fertilizers. They did not forget that co-operation is the keynote for sucessf' They had learn't it in their classes at Farm School and carried it on thru life. I forgot to mention that the' flour that MO1Sllod bread was made of came from the Headgear Hesch Hotv house Co. Hesch is making good too, tho he is not specializing. He took out his electric lights and uses moonshine to keep his place attractive at night. He is doing a flourishing business and is quite happy- My next destination after leaving Chicago was New York, the City of Bombers. I thought it best to use the sbrre leather line there. It was more enjoyable, cheaper and not such a close line as being railroaded over. Besides Ilhad plenty of time and who knew but what I wouldn't come across some of the boys. But it was not until I had trudged seven hundred and thirty-two miles before I did see some one. I was glad to meet him to be sure, but it was past my expecta- tions of him. It was quite saddening. He was a poor old soul, but as a farmer he was a wonder. He had corns all over his feet, calves on his legs and cauliflower on his face. I always did wonder why he had hares on his head. They could easily have fallen down on his shoulder blades and cut themselves. He must have had trouble with his daughter for when I first came up to him, he was mumbling to himself, You 'cantalopej you 'canta- lope.' You may think your beau's a 'seedy' fellow, but I'll make him 'hop.' VVhen I asked him his name it took me some time to find out he wasn't saying Hell, Hell, but Hill. Poor old Hill. He used to be such a handsome little youngster when I last saw him and now look at him. His wife must have been responsible for that. But after meeting Hill I did not see anybody I knew for three days when suddenly as tho it came to meet me, I found myself in a Farm School orchardll looked about and saw only students pruning trees. There must have been at least twelve to each tree- And what a conglomeration of students! Big ones, small ones, con- sumptives, imbiciles, 'boys and girls and the forever present soap box politicians. I wandered out in the orch- ard some fifteen minutes when I came upon Mr. Richly. But what a change! His once billard ball head was 14 THE GLEANER covered with bristling hairs. I greeted him and asked him how it came that he had such a grizzly top. Our Dean and Director, Dr. Sidney Stone put it there. Stone! Director? I exclaimed. No wonder you have hair on your head. Where is he at I must see him, I told him and after receiving directions I bid him goodbye and started for the campus. But what a sight when I reached it! It was Saturday afternoon and when we used to be in chapel, here were students shooting crap. I was speaking to a group of them when I felt my legs shoved from under me and later found myself sprawling in the dirt. It was a common occurrence when I was a student so I did not get angry. I asked who did it and for an answer I found or rather felt Sidney Stone all over me. Oh! What a happy meeting that was. We kissed each other, cried over each others shoulders and asked. a hundred questions of each other. I asked him what made him shave his mustache off, how were the little pebbles and asked him to tell me of himself. Well, he said, when old timers meet each other, it is no more than right to confide in each other. Listen -But no, not here- Lets go over to the chapel where we won't be bothered. Nobody ever goes near the place so we will be left alone. I followed him to the chapel, but oh, what an edifice! The windows were overgrown with poison ivy, cobweb covered the pulpit and the whole place was dilapidated. Even the prayer books were decaying. c To begin with, he said, after I graduated this school, I went to Storrs, Connecticut, to take up norm- al work in agriculture. I was a good student there, and at the end of four years I was sent here to have control of the Domestic Science Dept. an addition since we left. I wasn't here two weeks when I got disgusted. I was about to quit when I heard that the Director was resign- ing. Then of course a vacancy was left, and, having a strong pull with the women voters on the faculty, got the job- I've had the job for six years now. Everybodyis satis- ed. The Freshmen are allowed to associate with the girls. Juniors haze the Freshmen every night and the Seniors. doing us the favor of staying here three years, are al- lowed to do two hundred dollars worth of damage each week. I did away with Chapel and allow the students to THE GLEANER 15 run dances off instead. I have no trouble in keeping the 'coeds' in step with the rest of the school. I have also made several additions to the depart- ments. I put plush lounges in the shop, a student's cream supply in the dairy and opened a tannery to supply the students with cowhides. - I heard from Zinn the other day. He runs a big threshing concern out West. He buys up old lumber and threshes the grain out of the wood. I've also heard from a few of the other fellows. Ap- ple has a big tobacco ranch in North Dakota. He's happy. The first few years after he left F. S. he led a high life. Later he married a discarded theatrical star. Then he settled down on a farm, bought a couple cows and showed his wife how to live the milky way- If you ever have a chance go over to see him. Livingston got tired of raising flowers, so he went back to Ireland to raise a revolution. I got a letter from Gross two weeks ago. He's out in Palestine and is making good. He's doing community workg making things look lively out there. He changed the 'Dead C' into the 'Live B! The old timers had salty dispositions over the matier, but he soon got rid of them, installed Farm School Pep and got things going good, The Jipper always was a good worker, so watch for his success. That's all I know about the fellows. Now tell me about yourself. But first you must come over and get something to eat. Besides I want you to meet my wife Effie. I'll give you a 'knock down' to some of the broads at the Domestic Science Building. There are some high steppers there and I'm sure you will enjoy yourself. I went with him to dine and told him all I knew. But they sure did know how to entertain there. I almost felt I was in the Sultan of Turkey's private play room. I spent an enjoyable day there and in the morningof the next day took a train for rather the train took mel to New York. When I got off the train and stepped down into that hast hurlv-burly, hustling city I felt a bit out of place. sort of unadiusted to my surroundings and felt a little relief by calling a newsv for the morning paper. WuXtra! wuXtra! he called- W'hat'll ya have? 'Morning Stretchf 'Spooners Gazettef or 'Daily Yappf WuXtra! 16 GLEANER Give me the 'Daily Yappj I said. The only reason why I took the 'Daily Yapp' was because I didn't take any other. I put the paper in my pocket and for the want of something else to do I ask the newsy for his name. I told him he had clean cut features but a dirty face and I patted him on the shoulder and called him Sonny.'f I may have gone further but he interfered and said: ' Say mister, cut dat 'sonny' stuff. If yer want my name an' history I'll tell yer. I say it about six times a iay anyway to sech guys like youse, so here goes. We- ie mudder, pop an' me odder two mrudders-11ve in a shanty next to the Count. The Count's a bannaner con- noisseuer. If yer want ter come down some day I'l1 in- terdooce yer to me Pop. He's a school teacher. We ain't as poor as you might think, only pop don't want ter pay the income tax, so we live in a dump. What did you sa that banana venderis name was? I asked him. ' I didn't say, he replied, but if your anxious, I tell yer. He's Dominick DeVito. Him an' me Pops old friends. No sooner than I heard the I felt like a life long resident of New York. I have found another classmate! Then I asked him for his father's name. Me Dad's Phil Trupinf' he answered- I'm Jake, me mudder's Rose, an' me oder two brudders is Ike an' Wait a minute! I exclaimed. You say your dad is Phil Trupin? Here's a dollar. Take me to him. I gave him the dollar but he didn't seem to want it very bad. I-Ie said he would use it to buy his smaller brother the cigarettes he ow'd him. We agreed that he should first take me to the banana merchant and then he would take me to his , Pop. On the way to DeVeto's stand, he asked me if I have been to the new mooseem yet. I told him I hadn't, so he offered to take me up there. . Dey got a great artist there now, he said, wot paints dat sentimental stuff. He's got a picture there of a friend of his'n and a girl. Its stunning. The museum was on our way so when we came to it we went in. I was looking at the various pictures when my young friend nudged my side and whispered, There's ture. A the guy now. He's watching, the crowd around his pic- THE GLEANER 17 Well I'1l be hanged! I exclaimed, If it isn't Stat- lnan, congratulations and Hello! Jimmy crickets!', he ejaculated. Touff! Welcome to our city! How do you like my new picture? Do you recognize who is on it?', Do I, I said, Well I should smile. If it isn't Effie hugging Stone! VVhat do you call it? Crushed Stone, It sells great. Say, I got a couple tickets for the show. Do you want to go? I was going to take my wife out but she died last night, so we two will go and have a good time. We'1l pay extra for the kid. They say its a great show, Its Babe Sammuel's 'Follies' at the fOld Scratch' down in Hogan's Alley. Babe runs the show. He's got a nice bevy of girls, all front rowers. There done up in ham strings and each one carries a candy, Great stuff. They got a fine second act. farce Making Love to the Queen of Hearts. I-Ie's good too. Slim got tired push- ing the plow so he went into the acting game and picked the 'Queen of Hearts' as his business card. Its an ace of a show. Hits your heart in the right spot. All the clubs go to see it, so put on your diamonds and we'll run down there. We'll stop in at the counts stand and hunt up Trupin on our way back. Trupin is teaching vocational agriculture in the Bronx. He's trying to persuade the farmers to more Nritzapeechest' instead of. the. baz- wotts, but he's having a pretty hard time at it. Let's hurry now. If we get there early enough we will hear our classmate Skaist. He's a great pianist. He uses his fingers to a great advantage. He plays for the Follies' and touches them up for two hundred per. Come on. I went to the show and enjoyed myself uimmenslyi' as the kid expressed it. I met all the fellows and had a real reunion. I found Iger too. He -was Editor of the 'Daily Yapp,' the paper I bought in the morning- I stop- ped in to see him and found him looking good fthat's why' he wears glassesj and prosperous. Krotoshinsky was working for him too. VVhen Kroty left Farm Schol he couldn't find a job so he was walking around New York like a lost Battalion, when I ger pick- ed him up and put-him in the educational department: He ran a three column article every day instructing the foreigners to speak good English. He was so good at it that the American Extension Brewery sent him to Siam to teach the Chinese down there to talk English. But Seeing Krotoshinsky ended. my great task. I felt 18 THE GLEANER satisfied so I went over to Statmans studio and picked out a girl, married her and settled down on a farm, and from that time until now I have been the slave of my worse half, my wife. So, Fate, I have learned what you could do in ten years, but as for the future it is as vague as it was ten years ago. Fate, tho I flogged you and I flayed you. By the living God that made you.

THE GLEANER 21 X zvssaiasation of ce Ladies and Gentlemen: As far back as civilization can be traced there have always been two great classes of mankind: Those who earn their living by producingg and the rest who subsist by handling the instruments and products of those pro- ducers. The number of food producers in proportion to con- sumers is fast decreasing. Farm School has undertaken the noble work of doing what it can to remedy this most alarming condition. We should all be proudly conscious of the fact that we have been trained as producers of man's iirst necessity. In following our vocation we not only benefit ourselves but our fellowman as well. We shall not be weeds in the garden of mankind. A The implement that has universally been used thruout the ages to combat the weeds inthe hoe. This hoe, embellished with the colors green and gold, we -have adapted as a symbol of our devotion to the soil. The green to signify the glory of the springtime, gold to signify the sunshine without which there could be no harvest. But no matter how favorable the spring, or how friendly the sun, unless we ourselves take the hoe in hand and bend our backs to the task, we can have nothing. You, Mr. Rabinowitz, must bend your back to the task of leading the members of the new Senior class to success- You must help engender in them a love for the tradition for which the hoe stands. To you I tender it, trusting that you will not fail in your duty. In striving to bring Farm .School a step higher in its steady upward climb you have our sincerest wishes for success. Remember never to allow yourselves to become weeds in man's garden. ABRAHAM KROTOSHINSKY, '21 + ln the world's broad field of battle In the bivouac of life, Be not like dumb, driven cattle! Be a hero in the strife! Longfellow. 22 THE GLEANER aze ic-scary Mr. Dean, Members of the Faculty, Alumni, Fellow Students, Ladies and Gentlemen:- It is needless for me to indicate the huge ta-sk which confronts our country in this present gen eration,-a task which in the name of humanity we must accomplish, but which will take years of hard work. I am referring to the feeding and rehabitation of war stricken Europe. Besides taking care of our own people at home, we must respond to the appealing cries for aid, from the starving people and poverty stricken children of the European countries, as Armenia, Poland, Austria, Germany, Checko-Slovakia. Many years will have elapsed before these countries can recover from their present war stricken condition. Previous to this past war, the farmer and the agri- cultural profession in general were looked upon as being humble, and was regarded especially by the more ignor- ant people, as an industry of but little importance. It was thought of as an occupation, which did not require skill or scientific knowledge in order to make it a suc- cess. During the war the farmer was called upon to help our nation in it's great struggle by concentrating all his efforts and skill in 'producing better and more abundant crops. How this so thought unimportant industry more than contributed its share in this great emergency, will be written large in history forever. Bunker crops were raised in every part of the country, and food was plenti- ful for all-here, for our army overseas,-our allies abroad. We are called upon at present for a more noble task than ever before. Not to raise food to feed soldiersg so that they can live to' destroy property and kill their fel- lowmen, but to feed those poor hungry starving mothers and babies who' lost their, dearf ones in, the war. Mothers and babies whose stomachs are hallow, and whose eyes would sparkle, if they could only get to eat what we often in America waste and throw away after each meal. The farmer is at last coming into' his own. He has proved his worth, and is rapidly making the agricultural industry recognized as the most important industry in the world. THE GLEANER 23 The National Farm School, is training its students to go out into the world and help prove this. It has grad- ated men who have done a great deal to help promote the welfare of agricultureg men who have made a suc- cess on their own farms, and men who have been of great aid in helping to educate other people to the im- portance of agriculture as a great industry with a won- derful future- s Three years ago, we students who are graduating to- day, entered this institution, enthusiastic and full of am- bition, we all had one purpose in mind. That was to as- similate all knowledge of which we were capable in three years time. It then seemed as if the three years, which loomed before us like a speck on the horizon, would never terminate. We soon became unbedded in this great new life. All small and troublesome obstacles, which one is certain to encounter in a new undertaking, were gradu ally overcome. The interest and enjoyment in our work, made us feel unconscious of the time that was slowly bringing us nearer to our goal. That day came at last! We have finally overtaken that obstacle which once seemed solfar away. Confident and happy are we that we can go out into the world and cope with the problems which will loom up before us. The fact that we feel-fit, proves that all the teachings and opportunities which were presented to us, were well taken advantage of. I am not over enthusiastic when speaking of our chances for success. The once ridiculed and so called book.farmers, has proven his worth and is now in demand. We are well up-to-date with the new and progressive ideas in agriutculre, and are therefore al- ways in demand by the more competent and aggressive farmer. Our opportunity has come, and success depends solely upon each individiual. Fellow school mates, you have yet to tread the roads, and meet the obstacles which we have overcome here. Upon our parting day do we fully realize the strong friendshpis we have made. May you successfully uphold the school traditions which we leave behind, and help raise to a high standard all school activities which we cherish and will cherish dearly. Make good in all your undertakings which will be entrusted to you, and make this a better Farm School. To our beloved president Dr. Krauskoff, the mere words thanks or due-credit, do not fully explain the respect, gratitude and appreciation we have for him. He 24 t ' THE GLEANER is responsible for this institution and its noble accom- plishments. It is due to the great work, of a man like him, with the aid of his noble associates, the School Board- To our Dean Ostrolenk, the faculty and matron, we give our thanks for the help they have given us these three years. Under your care and advice, we have mold- ed our character and often mended our ways. You have given things a home-like appearance which we greatly felt, and which is sadly lacking in 'other institutions. Fellow-classmates. To day we part. Fate alone, will decide whether we shall ever see each other again. For three years we have lived together. Each of us have our good and bad traits. None of us are perfect. What we have learn't from each other may we use to some ad- vantage in our 'future life, and hope that some day we may meet again and talk our old school days over. Be true to your Alma Mater! Farewell! Samuel B. Samuels. + . BRIGHT NIORROW Are you too, sad: your heart in sorrow? You tearful and sighing? Alas! Why grieve? There comes bright morrow, After todayis hardships do pass. I-low can you reach it, near To thy grasp, and hold it dear? 'Tis thy self, thy way of life, Thy fruitful labors pursue, 'Tis what you do-in this strife, And extend they hand, so true. Then morrow, offspring of yesterday. Will be born--forever to stay. GUSTAVE TAUBE, '21. + , We must not hope to be mowers, And to gather the ripe gold ears, Unless we have iirst been sowers, And watered the furrows with tears. It is not just as we take it, This mystical world of ours, Life's field will yield as we make it A harvest of thorns or of flowers. GOTHE. N., .Na QQ. . rl., .

Boswell Published by the Students of National Farm School Address Communications to Business Manager, Farm School, ' Bucks county, Pa. Yearly Subscription 51.50 by mail. Entered at the Post Oflice at Farm School as Second-Class Matter In behalf of the Gleaner Staff I Wish to take this last opportunity to express our appreciation to those who have helped make this a successful year for our THE GLEANER 29 'publication To our advertisers too much can not be said. It is their financial aid that makes possible the continuation of our school voice, since no such appro- priation is made us by the School Board. I We thank our subscribers, and hope the Gleaner has been a medium in establishing an ever lasting friendship between them and our school- It is the pur- pose of our publication to further the interest of our dis- tant friends. In our school publication we have tried to picture the life spent at the National Farm School. If We failed to do this the fault does not Wholly lie in us. If we suc- ceeded in our aims, our success does not wholly lie in the staff. Both success and failure is due to the co- operative efforts of the staff and the students. That our readers may continue to glean joy from the future pages of the Gleaner is the Wish of the retir- ing staff. Ed. + GRADUATION With the coming of graduation, new responsibilities are placed upon each of the sudents of the National Farm School. The Seniors leave for higher tasksg the Juniors resume the noble dignity of Seniors and the Freshmen move a step higher to occupy the honorable seats left vacant by the Juniors. To both Senior and Junior the entire activities of the school are left, the A. A., the Gleaner, the Zionist Society, the Political Science Club. Each organization for the past year has either taken a step higher or it fail- ed in its attempt. To you who are to acquire the leadership of the school, remember nothing is too good for you. Put your utmost in your undertakings. If an activity has been successful resume it with success. lf an activity has not been successful it is up to you to make it so- There is no definite limit to the height of success. Success cannot be measured. Ed. +4 . .- To Worker, poet, Writer, student and man of affairs, to each farming offers an opportunity. Class of 1921, you have chosen Well when you adopt agriculture for 30 THE GLEANER your vocation. About to graduate, you soon will enter a world where small difficulties must not be seen, where success is courage, come what may. While striving and toiling unceasingly for a career, sometimes cast back- ward glances towards those whom you have left behind. You are blazing a trail for us to follow. Remember the Gleaner, whose infancy you have nutured with material affection. its pages are ever open to your experiences in agriculture. Above all, let the in- estimable 'benefits derived from the school and faculty be always for you a source of gratitude. As we part with the best of wishes let us give Three cheers for our beloved Alma Mater. EDGAR E.

WHAT S-CIENCE HAS DONE FOR AGRICULTURISTS Scientific agriculture is gradually becoming more fully substiuted for the agriculture of the past, and it is adding in an unanticipated dergee to the Wealth of na- tions. To the progress of this art, which is more manifest every day, our government has never ceased to lend the most active aid, both thru the State Agricultural College and experiment statioirs, and thru the efforts of certain individuals, who sacrifice their money for the improve- ment of this art. It has given its assistance to all great innovations for seen in the past by some advanced minds which the literary critics of the time turned into derision, but which have especially developed during the last cen- tury. The advance of material science has in fact served as the basis of this surprising metamorphosis of agricul- tural practices which We Witness and admire, and the mental and moral advance of the human mind has like- wise transformed under our very eyes, the education of the farmer now raised to the dignity of an intelligent citizen. Every day he is gaining a closer acquaintance with Science, he is learningw to take advantage of its teachings for the increase of his production and for bet- tering conditions of his former existence. Three sciences in particular have contributed to this evolution of Agriculture, mechanics, chemistry and biology. The endlessly various agricultural machines per- 36 THE GLEANER a small' expenditure of human manipulation, the produc- tive force of nature has thereby been wonderfully in- creased. But the machines themselves create nothing. They are only applied to products already elaborated under the operation of natural forces- The processes which preside here, the' manner in which the plants are fed at the ex- pense of the air, water and soil and to serve afterward as food for animals, have long been mysterious, but since they began to be revealed to us by chemistry, which they could not' have been earlier, so long as we were not ac- quainted with the real chemical elements common to plants and animals, and' ha.d not discovered the Secret of their passage through living organisms. Chemistry ex- posed this secret when it di-sclosed the existence of the elements themselves, it has taught us to recognize' them and to measure their proportions to plants and animals, it has established, first the fundamental and unforseen truth that the combination of the elements under the form of organic compounds takes place only in plants to the exclusion of animals, for which plants are ultimately destined to serve as food. The mysteries of the production of useful plants and of the feeding of do- mestic animals have been unveiled by it, and these truths so simple in our view, have been fruitful in ap- plication. Without enlarging upon a subject -that would de- mand the most ample development it will suffice to re- collect that he constituent elements of .plants have been divided into two groups. ln one, such substances as oxygen, the carbon of carbonic acid, the hydrogen of wa- ter, and in a certain proportion the nitrogen of the air, are borrowed from the atmosphere which can furnish them in unlimited quantities. Others, like the alkalies, lime silica, iron, and a part of the nitrogen, are drawn from the soil. Removed with the crops, they should be restored to it, under penalty of a. more or less rapid exhaustion. Each plant requires special elements, and it is necessary in its cultivation to be assumed that the soil already has them, or to furnish them to it. Hence the long disputed utility of chemical fertilizers, in them lies the whole secret of the indefinite maintenance of the land and the entire' art of extensive cultivation. But while mechanics is useful 'to agriculture, and while the co-operation of chemistry is continually requir- THE GLEANER 37 ed, there is another science of still higher importance, because it presides over life itself in the animal as well as in the vegetable kingdom. We have named it Biology. You all know to what extent a knowledge of it is necessary in order to define the conditions of animal and vegetable production, and to assure the normal development of living beings. You all know the import- ance of hygiene in Society for securing the health of men and thus of animals, and even of plants. Its function is conspicuous now in all eyesg and, it is one of the tri- umphs of science that it has been able to prolong the duration of human life, to secure immunity of our do- mestic animals against epidemics and to extend its pro- tection against the diseases which are destroying our field products and are threatening the annihilation of agricultural crops. , But the preservation of the products is not all. We need also to learn how to multiply productive beingsg and in this field, too, science has, by the application of meth- ods of selection, realized the most marvelous progress in agriculture. Not only has intensive cultivation taught us how to draw a larger return than formerly from a parti- cular soil and a given surface, but by the selection of seeds, we have doubled and tripled the formation of sugar in beets, by like selction, the production, of the potato has been increased and we are seeking, with certainity of success, yet more considerable increase in the pro- duction of wheat. No less progress is reached in the pro- duction of fruits and vegetables, and of cattle, to the daily amelioration of the ground condition of the human race. Besides discovering important scientific-truths and devisnig profit able applications of them, the scientific agriculturist needs to have a popular support, and it is above all importance that the applications of his methods shall be made serious by educated and intelligent popula- tions, ready to receive and propogate all useful ideas. No ideal is superior to that of agriculture. Country life is the normal type of human life. In it only can man- hood be developed in its plentitude. Country life favors at once naturalthealth: of the body1 and moral soundness of mind- The robust, industrious and intelligent country man has always constituted the strength of nations, and in the United States especially. 'Through the country man, active, intelligent and instructive, we shall main- tain the prosperity and greatness of our country. Edgar E. Heash '21. 38 TI-IE GLEANER LEGUNIES It is a known factgthat all plants are not alike as to their composition. A plant rich in protein in a protein- aceous plant. Of such character is the group known as legumes, of which, beans, peas, clovers, alfalfa and vetch are examples. These plants being rich in protein require more ni- trogen of the soil, but may increase it by being plowed feeders. If this is true then the use of legumes is limitedg but for the fact that nature has provided for them a means of using the nitrogen of the atmosphere. A legume under certain conditions does not alone conserve the ni- trogen of the soil, but may increase it by being plained under. Ordinarily the air is not considered food for plants. The nitrogen in the air is by the greatest of all the gases -by volume, seventy nine per cent. Experiments show that the nitrogen above one square mile of land, if avail- able would supply the needs of all our crops for mavv years. This nitrogen is not in a form available for other plant use. There 'are certain bacteria that live in the soil and are able to use the nitrogen of the air. These bac- teria enter the roots of legumes and cause swellings call- ed tubercules or nodules. Many nodules may be on a single plant. The legume itself cannot make use of the nitrogen of the air. The bacteria in the roots utilize the nitrogen of the air. The bacteria transforms the nitrogen of the air into a complex nitrogenous substance. Some of this sub- stance is taken by the plant. The legume supplies the bacteria with a favorable place for growth and also give the bacteria certain sugars- There is then a mutual ex- change. While the bacteria are very much a.like there is a marked physical difference when placed under the mi- croscope. The same bacteriatis never used to inoculate different crops. These bacteria are divided into six groups. Each member of the group will only inoculate certain plants. The groups are divided as followsg beans, cowpeas, soybeans, alfalfa and sweet clover, peas Cgar- den, field and sweetj vetches, Red, crimson, white and alsike clovers. Often a leguminous crop may grow in a field that has not been inoculated. If the soil has enough nitrogen the crop will grow, but if the soil is deficient in nitrogen THE GLEANER 39 the crop will suffer. On the other land this is taking ni- trogen from the soil instead of from the air. It is then that inoculation must take place. This is done in two or three ways. The soil method is often employed to inoculate a certain bacteria. It is the earliest method and is quite effective, but has one or two disadvantages. In this method soil is obtained from a field known to contain a desired strain of bacteria. The soil is then broad casted over the new field, about two or three hundred pounds to the acre. The disadvantage lies in the fact that by so doing expense may be involved, and noxious weed seeds and disease may be spread. The second method is by the pure culture method. a certain bacteria is propogated in the absence of others, in sterilized sand. This sand culture is then shaken up with water which is then sprinkled over the seed and thoroughly mixed. The bacteria stick to the seed and are deposited in the soil with the seed. This is by far the best method- It is believed that inoculation should be practiced every time a crop is planted. It is not necessary however when the organism is already present in the field. Ino- culation will not enable plants to over come all difficul- ties, but will assist the plant to overcome a shortage of nitrogen in the soil and not of other nutriments. + , Sam. Cooper '21 FARM NO. 1 The last few months of the scholastic yeajghave not lowered the usual good work done at the farm. The general condition of the place has been very much improved. That includes the house which has un- dergone a thorough renovation We have manured all the fields. The fodder shreder has done, and is still doing faithful service. Our machinery has been properly adjusted for spring service and is ready for the call of the next man- ager. Despite unfavorable climatic conditions, and other hindering factors our livestock is doing as well as ever. Our milk supply has diminished but slightly' Then milk- ing cows out of fourteen are daily yielding over 120 quarts. Two of the herd have just freshened and a few more will son follow suit. On the whole, thanks to the fine management and 40 THE GLEANER good care this farm has passed a very successful year. We extend our sincerest wishes for a prosperous ye-ar to the successor. + M. P. '22, HOME FARM The past month kept us busy with our seasoned work, as shreding fodder, hauling manure, repairing ma- chines. In spite of the poor grade of hay we are feeding the cows are giving 500 lbs of milk daily. Several cows are due to freshen. A pure-bred Berskshire boer had been added to our piggery. D. H. '21 4.. . FARM NO. 3 Change of details brought a new spuad to our farm. The boys are continuing with the usual pep, always 'required by Mr. Young. At present we are harvesting a crop of wood, mostly chestnut, which is being cut into telegraph poles, and firewood lengths. Owing to poor winter weather we have not as yet started to harvest our ice. Our cows are in good condition. Since fourteen cows are milking and a few drying up, our milk yield has drop- ped. Our butterfat test of our milk is higher than, any of the other farms, being four and five-tenths for the herd. W. D. T. '21. ,+. . FARM NO., 4 Well here we are again. This is the final report from this farm for school year. At present we are hauling ma- nure from the Home Farm and we are spreading it on the sixteen acre field back of the woodland. This is one of the fields plowed this fall. It will be disked the com- ing spring and prepared for corn. The present feed mixture used in our hog depart- ment consists of twenty quarts of ground rye, four quarts linseed meal and two quarts of tankage..This feed ration seems to please our young porkers, by the way they make it disappear at chow. Now let us look into the dairv department of our farm. At present we have nine heifers that are staying at our place due to lack of space in the barns at the Home Farm. Our horses never looked better than they do at present. ARTHUR APPLE, '21.

Tho the egg yield made a considerable drop, the high egg yield previous, and the constant rise now more than counteract the sudden slump. We are getting ready for incubation. Our breeding hens and best pullets have been separated and will be mated. Our incubators are in good condition and with the new improved incubator now on transit we feel con- fident of good hatches. The luminating system was in a large measure re- sponsible for our success during the winter months. M. K., '21. it ARBORICULTURE Whenever it is necessary for trees to be felled our department is there on the job. We started last month with the usual pep, and finished prunning one of the smaller orchards. ' All old peach trees have been pulled out by a large steam tractor. The apple trees in the large orchard now have considerably more room. The peach trees have been hauled out of the orchard and chopped for fire- wood. In the meantime pruning has been resumed and if the weather to be favorably, spring will find us ahead in our work. M. G. '21. if . HORTICU LTU RE The department at present is busy with stock on hand. The carnations are giving good results. Our ship- ments are bringing an, average of eight cents a piece. Callas are bringing twenty cents each at present and will probably bring more for Easter demand. One bed of snapdragons, that replaced chrysanthe- mums are doing nicely. They are selling at two dollars a dozen. The mushrooms are beginning to spawn. It appears that enough will be produced to supply the school's de-. mand. Hyacinths and tulips have been planted in flats. Geraniums also add to our variety of flowers. E. E. H.

CLASS 22 February 22 has a great meaning to our class. Upon this day the leadership of the school is turned over to us. From that day on we climb a step higher to seni- ority- We are to be the actors and follow the path left us by the '21 class. We feel confident to uphold the honors and tradi- tions of our Alma Mater. We are hopeful that with the co-operation of every member of the '22 class and the underclassmen our next year's events will be crowned with success. This year We celebrated our entrance to the Senior Class by adopting a Near East child for a year. Instead of a banquet each class member gave one dollar to help the starving children of Europe. The men who are to lead our class during our senior year are: H. Rabinowitz, presidentg M. Frishkopf, vice presidentg W. Morris, secretaryg D. Awkburg, treas- urer. A. TOFFLER, '22. + 1923 CLASS On the evening of February 12 our class held a banquet at The Jugj' Doylestovvn, Pa., celebratmg our successful completion of our freshman year and pro- motion into the Junior class. The success of the banquet is greatly due to the appropriate Work -of the committee, headed by David Feater, and assisted by Herman, Prut- kin and Horowitz. Thru Mr. Toor's skilful management as toastmaster, We had the most felicitous evening of our lives. Some of the chief events at the banquet Were the presentation of football numerals and the presentaf tion of cups to our football coach, Mr. Sidney Stone, and THE GLEANER 43 baseball coach, Mr. Maurice Greenwald. 'Happily this event ended our first year's stay in Farm School and brought about perhaps the most im- portant epoch in our lives-our entrance as Juniors- To say that our year has been full of gain, would be putting it mildly. Now, that we have climbed a step higher on the ladder of success, we are fully determined to continue with our noble work which will guide us nearer to our goal. That we may start our Junior year full of pep, we have fully reorganized, electing the following oflicers: President, Leo Bennet, vice president, Irving Her- secretary, Nigger Comskyg treasurer, David Fraterg cheer leader. With. great cheer and applause did the class accept Mr. Reickle as our class adviser. Welcome! Mr. Reickle, we see in you a friend and leader. Even though the strength of our class has been re- duced by the promotion of several of our classmates into the '22 class, we are still able to make a good show ing in all school affairs. Our fellows have been active in supplying the Gleaner with literature, are well rep- resented in athletics and all other school activities. . Our motto is to be true to Farm School and uphold its traditions. NIGGAR COMSKY, Scy. ...'- O - I POLITICAL SCIENCE CLUB Beginning with the new year we have started on a program which promises to be both educational and in- teresting. We have instituted a lecture course, The Human Element in Economics, by Prof. Scott Nearing. The club membership is increasing and we hope soon to have more fellows who will join us and reap the benefit that can be obtained. We cordially invite our fellow students to come to our meetings which are held every Sunday evening. D.

It's all in the State of Mind. and Write them a Letter To-night, are two inspiring poems from the issue of Dec. 9, 1920. Galilio in the issue of the 23rd of Dec. should in- terest the English students of Rev. Boswells class. The Perkiomenite, Perkiomen School, Pennsburg, Pa. is under the management of a new staff. The Gleaner welcomes the new staff most heartly- and is confident that the it will turn out as good a paper as the previous staff. Success is certain if the staff lives up to the sug- gestions in Don't Lose Your Pep on page 39 of the Holiday Number 0ur Stock Boosted to Win under ath- letics is a description of the Perkin vs Farm School, football game. of Oct. 30. Education thru Pursuit of Industrial course, an address by Augustus A. Thomas, appears in the Tuske- gee Student of Dec. 25. It is well worth reading, parti- cularly since the course at Farm Schol is of the Learn as you work type . The Gleaner greets the first issue of the Elchanite from the Talmudic Academy High School, New York City. This paper is different from the papers we are used to getting. It seems to show a deeper train of thought than other papers. It is indeed difficult to select anything from the various articles in this paper to re- commend to the students to read. We suggest that they read the entire paper. The Flying Tackle should inter- est our football aspirants. We predict a fine all around paper if the E1chanite keeps up the standard set in the first issue. The Oracle -Bangor, Me., is good, as usual. . + . . ALUMNI Michael Frishkopf, Editor. Sam Dorfman, '17, announces his engagement. We extend our congratulations and wish him all the happi- ness in the world . ' Morris Halpern, '18, was with us for several days, January 13 and 14. Mr. Halpen has been farming very successfully out West. He gave a very inspiring talk to the Juniors on farming in the West. He pointed out the differences in farming methods in the great wheat sec- tions compared to the general farming practiced in the THE GLEANER . 47 East. Mr. Halpen also spoke to the Zionist Society con- cerning settlement in Palestine. Mr. Halpen is intensely interested in Palestinian settlement. He is endeavoring to gather a group of graduates who would be willing to go with him to Palestine. We hope Mr. Halpen will be successful in so worthy an ideal. Any graudate who is interested in Palestinian settlement should get in touch with Mr. Halpen. He has rented a 160 acre farm in Iowa. His address is Morris Halpen, Iowa Falls, Iowa. Mr- Cecil J. Toor, '16, who is head of the poultry de- partment at Farm School, has been chosen as one of the auditors of Bucks county. George Goldberg, '20, is situated on his own farm at Spring Valley, N. Y. He has a general farm of 65 acres, only 35 miles from New York City. Goldberg intends to use the greater part of his acreage for truck crops. Jacob Mannes, '19, is herdsman at a dairy farm at Milford, N. J. ' 'Nathan Bromberg, '20, is milk testing in Cortlandt county, N. Y. He hopes to become a county agent in the near future. Earnest Katz. '19, is situated at Mercury. Texas. He writes in one of his letters: Agricultural calling has an attraction which I sometimes feel is imperative. 'With this issue of the Gleaner another class grad- uates from Farm School. The class of 1921, leaves us and ioins the evergrowing Alumni of the National Farm School- Their influence and example were strong dur- ing their three years at the school. and it will be felt for 2. long time after. They leave many friends here behind them who are interested in their welfare and want to see them happily situated upon well paying agricultural positions. Let the new grads keep in mind that this colmn is open to them. Thru it they can keep in touch with nianv of their friends to whom it would be impossi- ble to write individually. VVherever ye be or whatever, your lot. we shall always be glad to hear from you. We extend a hearty farewell to the graduating class- May they be successful in overcoming the ob- stacles in their paths as they go out to face the world. I-et them not forget their friends at the school. nor the Alumni Fund. to which many of them have pledged so liberally. Samuel Erde. '17 is paying up his pledge to the Alumni Fund regularly. He sent 2, check of 9510 to the fund only lately. ' f1'1'1' . A . 3 11 1111, 1 1'1 1 U 115' .
