HIGH ScHoOk NoTEs . | Debate With Killingly H. S. Arranged —Census Taken of Magazines Read A committee from Killingly High School Detating elub was at the school Monday arranging for an inter- school debate., The following was se- lected by the local school: “Resolved That there should be compulsory mi itary training in secondary schools and colleges.’ Killingly is to choose the side that they wish to uphold. A toss of the coin decided the place, and Putnam won. The debate will be held here, probably on the 24th of March. The Putnam team consists of two sen fors, Malcolm Willey and Gould Beard, and'two junfors, Ruth Child and Perty Richardson. Friday, Feb. 18, is the last entertain- ment of the High School Lecture Course. Collins VandenBerg will give an {llustrated lecture on The Lure of New England’s Colonial Period. The new song books are being used at_the morning exercises. Recently in the Senior English class, Division A, a census of the monthly magazines read regularly and occa- sionally was taken. The results were somewhat eurprising. There are 27 in this division. It was found that 52 different monthlies were read b: various puplls. These varied from some of the highest class of perfodi- cals to the poorer, and comprised nearly every concelvable kind of mag- agine. It was, however, noted that the majority of the class did not read one good monthly fiction magazine, How- ever, the technical and current event magazines mentioned were of better class. One pupil confessed to reading, either regularly or -occasionally, no monthly magazineé, and the largest list contained the names of 13 different publications. v The magazine that was most wide iy read was one of the poorer class of monthHes, of little if any lterary value: ten pupils acknowledged read- ing this,_ either habitually or now and then, while such magazines as Scrib- ner’s, The Century, Geographical, and The Atlantic Monthly were mentioned by only one, two, or three. Since this list called for monthlies only, it h no mention of such weeklies as Th Outlook, Literary Digest, and Inde- pendent and the like which are rather generally read, and some of which have been recently studied by the class. In connection with the oral English work, the class is now taking up some of the monthlies. In January, the ‘World's Work was studied, wh! the oral programme for this week based upon the section of the Feb: ruary Atlantic called The Great War.

I had the cooperation of Mr. Davis, farm management demonstrator at Storrs, in this work. The idea of Ihull.ldmg neighborhood mieetings was Nineteen records were returned at these four meotings. From one-third to one-half of the farmers where rec- ords were returned are keeping rec- ords of their farm business, or will keep such records. Cooperation. A second car of grain hought co- operatively by Woodstock farmers has been unloaded this month. This car consisted of brain and mixed feed, 10 tons of each. It was bought through the Woodstock director, After de- ducting 50 cents per ton, which the farmers give the man who handles their business, a saving of approxi- mately $40 was made on the car. The farm bureau has helped in get- ting this cooperative buying under way, and the following statement may not be out of place. Woodstock has about 60 members in the farm bu- reau, paying annual dues of §1 each Two' cars of grain bought Coopera- tively by these members at a saving of about $50 leaves a balance on the profit side of about $20 for Woodstock on one kird of business alone. Wood- stock seems to- be - taldng advantage of the opportunities offered by the farm bureau. As has been said before, the farm bureau can be of help to those who wish it. Other towns that have not recefved a ltke amount of benefit should begin to ask themselves why. Extension 8choel. During this month a four-day ex- tension school has been held in the Agricultural hall on the fair grounds in South Woodstock. The extension service of the Connecticut Agricultural college, the Windham County Farm Bureau, and the people of Woodstock, Putnam and Pomfret, cooperated {0 make this school most successful. The school opened Tuesday morning at 9 a. m. with 13 present.. Forty had come in before noon and the first day's at- tendance was 49. Wednesday 57 were precent, and the high mark was at- tained on Thursday, when 64 farmers turned out to study their farm prob- lems. Soils and Crops under the di- rection of B. G. Southwick, Dairymsg, under K. B. Musser, and Poultry, un- der Roy E. Jones, were the subjects studied. The school mext vear is al- ready being circulated for signatures. While it is hard to figure the bene- fits of a school like this in dollars and cents, the fact that a total of 70 ad- mission tickets were sold and that an average of 65 of these 70 attended ev- ery session shows that the farmers considered the price of admission well invested. Another interesting fact was that there were no children or other spectators present. The attendance was wholly of Interested farmers. Eastford Forms Branch of Farm Bureau.

Eastford is taking up her problems In the right way. After a few meet- ings at which local conditions will be studied, the town will be prepared to say what it wants, and will be in a position to attack the solving of the roblems in a systematic way. East- ford 1s becoming one of the most a tive towns in the county in_ avafling itself of the services of the farm bu- reau. . The leaders of Junlor Chautauqua work in Putnam are planning to in- troduce garden work as one of their activities. I have explained the Achievement Club work to them as it worked out in Willimantic last year. A committee was appointed to find out it a suitable plece of land could be found for those who could not use their back yard for a garden, and to secure a local leader for the work. Ar- rangements have been made to pre- sent the club work to the children at the regular assembly hour in the schools, and at the meeting of ihe Junior Chatauqua Feb. 22. Last season 60 children in Williman- tic took up the work as follows: 24 raised tomatoes at a total profit of $52.23 or 32.16 aplece; 26 raised pote- toes at a total profit of $5.66 or 22¢ apiece; Thirteen raised potatoes at a total profit of $161 or 12 cents apiece. The total profit on the three projects was $39.50, making an ave- rage profit fof each child in the work of 99 cents. Just as good work can be done in Putnam and Dantelson, and probably in some of the smaller vil- lages. I wish to give S. D. Wicks df Pom- tret the thanks of the farm bureau for a year's subscription to the Breeders' Gazette. The office should be supplied with more of such farm papers, books, &nd bulletins for the use of such farmers as visit the office while they are in Putnam.
