THEIR EFFI CIE NC Y. rmers in Denmark Are On a Generally High Plane of Ability. The agricultural schools of Den- mark have grown out of the efforts of the farmers and their leaders to instruct and train young men for following farm line without subject- ing them to influences from sum thundings, instruction on occupa- don which would be likely to wean them from country life. They are described in Volume II. cif the Re - pore of the Canadian Royal Com- mission on Industrial Training end Technical E.:lunation. They are all residential schools. In addition to the class -rooms and a Mean museum stocked with speci- mens useful for illustration and demonstration, the Agricultural School has a fa= connected with it as part of its equipment. The farm is not managed or run as' an, experimental station, and only to a very small extent does it use illuetration plots. An illustra- tion is given of the management of nhe farm as a Whole according to the system and methods which yield the best results in the locality. The principal is also the managing fax - mer. The preserrvation and increase of fertility, and the quantity, qual- ity and suitability of the crops for market .and for consumption, are considered. The numbers and the kindg of live 'stack are determined by the capacity of the farm as directed towards making profits.

Melli Beese, Gennany's famous woman aviator, announces her in- tentien of trying for the great honor of being the first air pilot to fly. across the Atlentie, for which pur- pose she is constructing her own heal ro-aeroplane. replant,. Belli Beese is widely known not only as a daring flier and as Ger- many's only woman aeroplane pilot, but as the only weanan in the world Who conducts a flying school, of which she herself is the principal, and who makes a business of de- signing and manufacturing flying machines. A small, lithe figure, Frau Beese is a beautiful woman of about thirty. She won a pilot's li- cense more than four years ago, the first to be granted to a woman in Germany, She is not discouraged by the fact that she has broken her legs in five places, sustained frac- tures of several ribs, and has bro- ken her nose three times in tumbles out of the air. These accidents, she declares, were the fault of her teachers and did not happen when she herself was at the wheel. When seen recently a•t the Johen- nisthal flying field, where more than 800 machines are stationed, Frau Beese said : "Yes, 1 am going to be among those who will be the first to try to cross the Atlantic.

MANY WOMEN GARDENERS EIGHT IION. 40,1IN BURNS, President 91 Britain's Board of --- • Teeth`, Son of Washerwoman. SEVENTEEN SPECIAL SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND, Countess of 1Vanviek anti Duly Wo Ise' ey Po united Ft rst Instil Wiens. The great member of superfluous women throughout England means nit almost overpowering •rush for every profession or branch uf work which open hospital doors to femi- nine wage-earners. • Two women of title and position have been influential in giving other wbmen a great- opening for their energies. They are the Countess of Wan -wick and Viscountess Woleeley, who have started colleges for WO - men gardeners. The normal Englishwoman is a natural born gardener. in her childhood she has had her own little patch of ground in which, aided by someone in authority, she plants little posies. All through her girl- hood site interests herself in the home garden, and marriage and her own establishment bring her A Garden of Her Very Own. Until fairly recently, however, she has bad no chance to study gar- dening systematically and practi- cally, and the idea, of making a, pro- fession of it never occurred to her. But as the labor market became more congested because of feminine applicants Lady Warwick and Lady Wolseley, both enthusiastic garden - ens, decided almost simultaneously to open schools of gardening front whieh women could be graduated and take their places as profession- al workers. "I started my school at, Studley," Lady Warwick said in a. recent in- terview, ''because I had •tried in vain to get some proteges of mine into a, school for men gardeners and found it impossible, so I raised money and arranged to turn over Studley, one of our estates in War- wickshire, to a college. School Now Self -Supporting. "In the beginning, even with the number of women who came to us, we could not make the place pay. NOW we are an entirely self-sup- porting institutiun, and have been able to place any number of girls in good positions." The lot of the woman gardener -Vat fine was not easy. Everyone knew there was no reason why she should be less competent than a male gar- dener, but British prejudice is hard to break down, and profeesional gardening by women was a new thing and therefore regarded with distrust. However, some few great land- owners were persuaded to allow wo- men to come and "a•seist" their gardeners, and their ability was quickly proved. Now there is ac- tually a demand for women garden- ers .. Their pay has not yet risen to the proportion it should, but their com- petence is recognized. There are at present in England alone seventeen colleges for women gardeners, all of them flourishing and on firm financial bases. St intents Are of G ooll Fa 011 I i es. The students are almost always girls or women of good families, vicars' daughters with their way to make in the world, reduced gentle- women, and 'daughters of deceased army or naval officers. They have alt sVS had some experience in home gardening, and what they want is the benefit of practical in- struction and the advantage of a diploma. Lady Wolseley's school for gar- deners is at Glynde, near Lewes. The pupils must stay one year, and are urged to remain two, and dur- ing the second year they are al- lowed to specialize in certain branches of the week and to obtain small rem u neeati ve jobs. A number of Lady Welseley's pu- pils have guile. to Canada, while others have excellent poses in Eng- land, and still others are teaching what they have learned to small groups of girls who 'cannot afford or ,do not wish to enter the great e etabliehm eats. Poulbry keeping, bee keeping, farming, horticulture, and domestic science are also taken up in some of the sehools, and in all these branches women have shown them- selves surprisingly sucenssful. They have invented varione Inher- ent ing appliances for gardening and fruit growing which have ptnved very ingenious.

His school education at Battersea was very brief. At the age of ten he was employed at Price's candle Dietary; two years later he became a page -boy; subse- quently he found a place as a rivet - lad at Vauxhall; and at fourteen he was apprenticed as an engineer itt Millbank. This trade' he follow- ed. He worked at it in various parts of England, also on board ship and far a year on the delta of the Niger.

Several Ways or Getting Hid of the Post. Since Sir Ronald Rose discovered that the microscopic blood parasites which give nine to malaria were transmitted to the human body through the agency of a mosquito "bite," a, war of extraordinary virulence hes been waged againet that particular insect pest. The larva, it was well known, bred in more or less, stagnant water, be it a, marshy peel, a sheltered corner of a etream, a water barrel, or even the chance drops that lunged in a rain pipe. The seat of infection was attacked. The haunts of the larvae have been rendered -uninhabitable by the spraying of oil to form a sur- face skin, which the larvae is un- able to penetrate in order to gain its necessary supply of. air or by the addition of mob poisons as cresyl, which, even in so weak a proportion as 3 deeps to 500 cm., has been found to kill mosquito lar- vae in. five minutes, In other cases the breeding areas have been en- tirely done away with, by drainage. But to the naturalist the adoption and encouragement of the natural enemies of the mosquito is of more interest, It has been observed in our 01511 ponds that atieklebacks and minnows feed readily on gnat and mosquito larYae. And this know ledge has been turned to good am ount, for a batch of a West Indian fish—"millione"—recognized as a mosquito destroyer, has been im- ported into Sonth Africa -with the idea that (here they will beconie ncelimatized and aid in 1,11c earaca- of the wild duck, Anas beeches, ha,s been. advised, as it, too, has been observed feeding largely upon lar- val mosquito stages. But perhaps meet curious of the methods of utilizing natural enemies is that of setting aside lumen beings to act as mosquito destroyers. In the malarial district of Bassam, on the Ivory Coast, as many as five official "mosquito catchers" we corutinu- mealy employed during 1912 with great success, and it is reported that the "work of the mesquite catchers hres been greatly. diminish- ed in consequence of the spread of knowledge amongst the inhabitants, and most of the heada of factories now employ men for this special purpose."
