Abstract :
During Farmers´ Week at Michigan State College, February 4–8, the Student Branch of the Institute provided an Electrical Show having for its aims the education of the rural classes in the uses of the more common electrical phenomena and the entertainment and instruction of people especially interested in electricity. In view of these purposes the experiments and exhibits covered a wide range from the fundamental principles of the motor, generator, and transformer to television apparatus and the operation of induction furnaces. The laboratories were in full operation, showing exactly the nature of the work done by the students during the school year. It has been the custom of the Branch in the past to hold the show for three days during Farmers´ Week, but this year it was held open on the fourth day, at the request of the State Board of Agriculture. The attendance was estimated at from 8000 to 8500.
