Farm Population In U. S. Near Peak

I WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.—Thc powerful magnet of three square meals a day and a comfortable place to sleep has lured so many pef50lIS from the city's bright lights that the farm population of the United States is approaching the record-breaking 32,000,000 estab- lished in 1910. So rapidly has the lity-to-farm movement continued iuringtha last three years that De- partment of Agriculture experts bo- lleve the number living on the soil lt the end of this veer will be only lilghtly below the peak figure.

While there. is a large normal llow of population to and from the farms, the accelerated drift coun- lryward in recent years was attri- buted by the department to eco- nomic conditions. Behind the city dwellers’ decision to leave, ofilcials laid, lay the belief that they could lt least obtain a living 0n a. farm.

Until 1030, the drift was toward the cities, but in that year 416,000 more persons went to the farms than tho number leaving. Last year the total swelled to 656,000 and for first three months oi this year, net farm gain was 263,000.

The first impetus to the in- creased farm populatiton resulted from the decision oi young men and roman then living in the country not to leave home," Theo B. lianny, of the department's division II farm population, explained.

“Then there was a large number vi young people in the city who lost their jobs. They were unable to find

work and so decided t0 return i0 parents or other relatives on the farm to live. Many oi them, having had a taste of city life. Pmbliblll will remain on the farms. ’

"Another contributing factor was the return of negroes who had gone to the city to work. They lost their jobs, could find no work, and so went back to the plantations. A large group of men getting ill! 1!! years who have been displaced by younger workers have found refuge in the country. Some of them had saved up some money and bought farms. Immigrants also accounted for some of the increase.‘

School Board‘ Has to Leave 01d Building

MONTREAL, Doc. 23—(C.P.)— The Protestant Board of School Commissioners has held its last meeting m the old Belmont School, closely linked with the educational life of this city for almost a cent- ury. The next place oi meeting will ‘be in the new building recently completed on the site of the Old Congregational college op McTavlsh street opposltfi the McGill grounds. There was no rejoicing among tho commissioners at the thought of moving to new quarters but rath-

- er a feeling of regret which was

apparent“ when the members sat around for some time reminiscing after the business session of the meeting was over.

Mr, Logan, superintendent of schools, in recounting the earlier history of the building said the cor- ner-stcne had been laid 0n July l5. 1845, by Baron Charles ‘Iheoph- llus Motcalie, then Governor Gen- ernl. No one knew, however, Just where that corner-stone was 110W. he said. although very likely it had been hidden under plaster ls rd- dltlonal wings were built and would come to light when the bulldlnl was torn down.

Some criticism had arisen when the school was first built and used as a private school, the new quart- ers of the old Bingham House on Lagaucheticre street, because it had no water supply. Later, Mr. Logan added, when they did get water a bOy was drowned in s. well in the basement. At that time the loca- tion of the school was looked upon as away out in the country and. it is now in the heart oi the city near the excavation m the proposed Canadian National Railways term- inus. .

After serving as a pflvate school, the building was bought by the Protestant Board and became tho High School of Montreal Ind later o, public school named Belmont. 'I'he classes held their until the end oi last year have been divided among neighboring schools.
