Special to Tic Age-Herald.
Montgomery, Aug. 27.-Eeprosentatives
of all the district agricultural schools had
meeting today in the office of the COM
missioner of agriculture, having been
called together by Major Culver Tor the
purpose of consulting about the work.
1t is desired to have uniformity in the
system of instruction, and especially a
general move toward developing the agri-
cultural feature of the system. The Au-
burn college professors OF agriculture
and botary were also present.
The governor was invited before the
meeting ard besides taking part in the
general discussion, made short talk
The governor said that he was glad
that the meeting had been called and
that the agricultural schools were walk
ing up to the important obligations that
rested upon them to bring scientific agri-
culture close to the farmers. That these
schools were supported by the farmers
and out of taxation upon thom and they
had right to demand better results than
had heretofore been obtained; that tbs
feature should not be showed aside or
overlooked, but be made conspicuous in
its usefulness: and that unless 1t was
done it would imperil the existence of
the schools. He assured them OF his
hearty cooperation, and Of his intercs
in the cause of education, which he said
was now widespread in this state ard
promising splendid progress. He want
ed to see a generous rivalry amongst the
schools as to which should show the beat
results and especially that thay should
not be mere local institutions for the
benefit of the few.
