ONLY A FEW DAYS Until Short Course Open* —Get Your Ticket and Attend Every Session. 1,000 AT PORTLAND $ Stock and Special C ars to Arrive here over the G. R. & 1. Railroad. With only a few days remaining HitJ opening of the abort course in Do eautr next'week. the committees in i barge of the various lines of work and preparation arc very active completing tiual details. The short course is such a gr«- it educational feature for both young •tncl old that all of the school c-hil dren in the country who are taking domestic science or agriculture will be permitted to attend the course, a- - as they desire, next week, with out being counted absent front school. Sinci the attendance at the short course is to be given the same credit as the same amount of time spent in school, strict attendance on the part of the children excused from school wifi be required. Every school child who expects to attend the course should he sure to get a special school child’s ticket which will he given free. These tickets will be sent to thp teachers for distribution among their pupils and the doorkeepeer at the different sessions will punch the tickets as the children enter to give credit for attendance. At the close of the course, each pupil who has been absent from school to attend the short course must turn his ticket back to the teacher so that the enrollment may be checked up and the students given proper credit. Much credit is due to County Super jiuenclqnt Christen, the township trustees of the different townships, to cijy superintendents and to Father Seimetz for the liberal way in which they have been active in supporting this course. Many of tlie ministers of the county have also been active in their support. The short course has been at Port land the past week and the ticket sale there has almost reached the thousand mark. The people of Ad ams county should be equally as interested in a great educational proposition as their neighbors to th' south have lieen and all who are desiring to attend should secure their tickets before the course opens be cause as soon as there have beer /■nougli tickets sold to fill the seating capacities of the different buildings in which the course will be held sal.' will cease, it will be a case of first come first served and those who are in charge of the course feel that there is more lost than gained by permit ting crowding of the places of ini struction. Tickets are on sale in every bank in the county, all of the rural school children can purchase tickets for their parents from the rural teachers, and many of business houses'of the country are also selling tickets. If the weather is favorable, prospects are good that th crowd attending will tax the oapac ity of the different places provided for the course, so if you want in you had better be getting your ticket. ‘ The stock and equipment will arid re tomorrow morning from Portland. where the course lias been tip: past four days. The special ear car- ! Tying the livestock, and two tons t f I clenionstrational equipment will come jup on the eight o’clock passenger train from the sou'h in ihe morning ' and work will hegcii immediately unloading and taking the things to (ho j various places iu which they will be used.
