This was a very import-L lant school in the early days of llhe fox industry. and taught young men and women all that was was known about the fox indus- try to date in one twelve-month course. it had a large fox ranch connected with it for practical demonstrations. Some of the foxes on this ranch were purchased from the Indians in the Peace River country by the late James Kane, who was one of the real old timers of the industry. The insti- tute also ran a fox scoring system under the direction of the late George Brackett, who also pub- lished a fox magazine. This work necessitated sending inspectors all over the United States and Can- on the point system. in 1929 the stock market crash arrived and the School was closed down. At that time Milligan and Mor- rison of Northam. P. E. 1., were hig operators, not only in Canada but throughout the United States as well. Edgar Milligan was om- of the old timers in the P. E. l. fox business. and Morrison was originally a fur trader in Alaska Dr. Russell took on the job of form headquarters at Northam, P. E. I. Milligan and Morrison Ithat year took on the agency for Farina Fox Feeds, introducing ;them into the Island, and the Doc- tor was assigned the job of tra- Lvelling all over the Island emi- ages of using prepared foods.

They were lhoth killed in an automobile accident just out- side of the City of Buffalo in H133.
