Vino, R. Kcitenwdwr. Eck. This is an entirely new course offered for the first time in this school. The course was di- vided into two parts, one. called the long winter term began November 2 and ended March 26; the other, began January 4 and ended at the same time, called the short winter term. All farmers of sixteen or over are qualified for admittance regardless of previous education. The purpose of this course is to give farmers the essential knowledge and skill necessary to operate the modern motorized farm. Acetylene and electric arc welding, automobile and tractor repairing, and subjects having to do with power farm machinery were taught. The course was intended primarily for not more than 12 students, and opened November 2 with but 2 students. However the course proved to be so popular that 30 students were taking the course in its entirety or some phase of its work before it had long been in operation. The practical side of this course has been demonstrated by the students, who used dis- carded and salvaged materials costing the school practically nothing. Some of the equipment built by those students include stationary and portable electric arc welders, welding tables, lamp frames, hoists, and other items of heavy equipment desirable in a modern shop. The Auto Mechanics club is an organization consisting largely of members enrolled in the Farm Machinery course. Its purpose is to improve the abilities of the members in the line of work in which they are interested. The club held meetings every two weeks at which there were open discussions on such topics as: late developments in welding, automobiles, electric motors, arc welding, and modern designs of automobile bodies. In February a demonstration of welding was given for a chapel program. Members of this organization also attended a welder's demonstration and convention at Aberdeen. Twenty-four
