He has been very successful in this work, for at the present time there are more than twenty clubs in the surrounding communities, which he has organized. He has given about seventy lectures this year besides many lectures with stereopticon lantern slides. He has also given lessons in agriculture at the associated schools around Northfield and from this work he is becoming known all over the state. The Minneapolis Tribune devoted a full page to our industrial department in a recent issue. The High School Boys, Glee Club has gone with Mr. Field on some of his trips, to help along, and their singing has been very much appreciated by the farmers. -if manual Oraining The Manual Training Department under the supervision of Mr. von Levern has made excellent progress. This course is divided into two parts: one, the shop work, and the other, mechanical drawing. The students design their own pieces of furniture and then make them. There is a finishing room. just off the shop in which all the staining and finishing is done. There are many commendable pieces of furniture turned out, such as morris chairs, writing desks, library tables and chiffoniers. Mr. von Levern has also pushed his work into the country schools and has installed benches in many of the school houses. He has also given special instruction lessons to the teachers of these schools every Saturday, so that they may be able to instruct their students.
