planned to undertake in a small way this permanent and perhaps 

 most valuable form of extension work. 



The Railroad Demonstration Car: — This service involves 

 fitting up one or two railroad cars for demonstration purposes, 

 placing them in charge of instructors and putting them in the 

 field for continuous service. These cars will be handled on 

 regular trains and dropped off in such towns along the line 

 as may express a desire to have them. They will remain in 

 the town from one to three days conducting demonstrations 

 in the car, in public halls, and in the field. The next day the 

 cars will be moved to the next town. To be most effective this 

 service should be continuous, visiting towns at regular intervals 

 or as often as the circuit can be completed. 



Extension Schools : — It is hoped that the College will be able 

 to hold several extension schools in various parts of the State 

 during the coming year. Such schools are usually from three 

 to six days in length, and are directed either along special or 

 general lines, according as the needs of the community appear. 

 Such schools are being worked out and carried on very success- 

 fully in some of our western states. In effect it would be like 

 carrying the Farmers' Week course into the various sections 

 of our State.
