Thi3 institute is called Park Life, and was founded two years ago by Prof. B. J. Horchem of Dubuque as an experiment. The plan Is to train young boys along useful, interesting and healthful lines, to keep them busy throughout the year and to instill in them a real love for outdoor life, and, above all, for productive occupations. All the woik of the school centers about the farm, where the boys are taught the simple elements of scientific farming, how to raise the differ ent varieties of garden truck and how and when to plant the staple cups, such as wheat, corn, rye and barley. The boys also are taught about cattle sheep and poultry. In addition to this, the sclioo' grounds must be kept up and the youthful farmers get experience in such ns agricultural engineering, ditch and well digging, toad build ing and irrigation.
