Finding, as he believed, the right man in Prot. Frank Hall, Principal of tho West Aurora Ilgh School, he succeeded in bring- ing about the following arrangements: On condition that the services of Prof. Hall should be secured.for aterm of years, the school district ugreed to crect tho necessary school buildings and to pay hin a salary of 3500 per annum for teaching the district sctioo!—his salary ubove that amount to be madg up tron: the tultlon-fees of puplls from outside the district, of whom he was ut liber- tyto receive all who came, Mr. Judd himself guaranteed a certain ainount tor w term of yeurs from this sourcu—ngreaing to muke up the deficlency, If any. ‘Yo accommodate pupils outside the dis- trict, but within driving distanco ot tho school, mn barn containing eighteen stalls, and about am equal number of deep wagon-sheds outside, for the protection of tenms, were — erected; and pupils froma distance of several miles drive to the school, where thelr teams ure comfortably hosed and fed. and return to thele homies at night, There being no village furnishing boarding accommodations tu pus pils trom abroad, Mr, Judd erected a com- tmodious: boarding-huuse, three stories und basement, which unfortunately burned down without {nsurance, entailing heavy loss upon iiyowner.

Among the problems given, and whieh wars gotved with readiness whieh showed a per feet famullurity with the subjects by the class, were the following: Nutuber ot miles traveled by a tea, num. ber of turns, In plowing an acre of land of given shape, with a 13, 1, aud 16 Inch plow, Fespuetively, telative anoint of water carried by tiles of diferent dtumeters.

Prof, Hilt relatad te the writer that not tongalnce, on visiting an intel- lgent physiclan—acollezegraduate,and nuw + & farmer—he found him: composting: his stable-manure with woot-ashes, On calling his attention to the fact that In so doing hw , was destroying the valuable proportics of hot ties explaining why It- was so, hie frankly adinitted: that, while well versed {1 cheinistry so faras it related to his protes- ston, he knew absolutely nothing of its ap- pileation to farming, aS. Entomology is taught, not for the purpose OF making sclentitic “ buxelsts,” bas to en-- able the farmer te know whitch amongst the Insvct-tribes are his friends and which lis enemies, and how best he can guard agalnst tho depredations of the Intter. é There Is asninll workshop connected with the school, in whieh the usa of the more gaminon . wood-working tools is taught.’ The Normat Department ntins to fit tenehers for imparting the same character of practionl instruction in our district schools which they receiva Jn tho business department the instruction is with reference to the farm and township, rather than the store, counting-house, or aun. € : ‘There are eight miniature offices, titted up ns follows: 1, Town Supervisors 3, Town Cleri and Justice of the Peace; 3, Rou Coin- uiastoners 4, Township Treasurer 4, commission-house; 7, grocery= post-olllee, Ench of these offices is provided with suelt books and blanks as would be used In actual bustness. The pit- pila tre promoted from one to, tho otter, tlt they have made themselves “familiar with ench, Telowraply iy also taught. Prof. Mall states that one difficulty he meets with, esp ally in teaching tho prin- ciples af sclenco os relates to agriculture, the feeding of stock for fuod or dairy, ete., Is that there isno text-book in existence adapted to the avernge farmer's boy, ‘They ail fre over the boy's bead. Iu mvets almost at the outset so many selentitic and technical terms of which he does not know the meaning that he soon loses interest and throws It up in disgust. Hence, Prof, Hall ls obliged to make his" instruction lareely oral in character, gleaning from standard works and adapting it to the conditions of lis classes, but requlr= ing each pupil to record In a book, witlels ench iy required to have, the substance of each lesson. ‘The following will serve as an illustration of this method of ndaptation: “The cow giving forty pounds of milk per day nist be supplied fram some source with a dafly ration containing in an avaliable form riot less than one-tenth of 9 pound of phosphate of Iline; she must have a pound or inore of musele-naking food, and three pounds of food that can be changed iuto sitgar. and vutter—aill of those to bo put into the milé-pall, She must have, besides this, so much of the muscle-formers as will sip. ply the pince of what fs broken down and cast out by the dally motlou of the diferent parts of the body, and ag much of the fat- formers ‘ns wilt furnish the fuel necessary to keep up the anitnal buat All these will tue animal 18 nelther growing nor fatton- Lessons on the composition of different: kinds of food would enable the intelligent pupil to determine just whnt daily ration would incet the necessities of this case; and the application of similar principles would algo deterinine the rations necessary for ® growing or fattening animal, In the xcowing of any particuler crop, it Is shown of whit elements and tn whatamount any partictlar crop takes from the soll, and the kind and amount o€ fertilizer whieh will return this to the soll, so that it shall suffer no deterioration. Space will not permit to give at greater fength the details of the muthods pursued by Prof. Mullin hisschool, What ling already been given will show that he is entirely out of the ordinary eduentlonal ruts. ‘The ‘aver- ago attendances throughout the year is about seventy-tive—excecding 100° In the winter term--farmers’ sons froin a distance availing themselves of the opportunity to get a term when work 13 notpressing. “Phe district fur- nishes wbont twenty-iive pilptlas the reinaln- der being froin outside the district, and pay- Anz tuition, Weave heres schoo!
