Holy Name Society Gives Approval to “Short Course.”

An agricultural “abort course” is proposed for Rensselaer for this fall or early winter and Prof. Ira Coe, of the high school, is talking the matter up and receiving considerable encouragement. He attended the meeting of the Holy Name Society of the Catholic church Sunday evening and explained the proposition to the members and they took heartily to the plan and promised to give it aid and encouragement. The plan is to conduct the course very much the same that is done at the university, having the fine stock here and having stock Judging contests and a regular course of study and lectures. The cost would be from $250 to S3OO and the plan is to sell season tickets at 50 cents.
