THE 4GRICUL TURAL HIGHSCHOOI
Successful Examples Described by
Crosby of Department of AgricuI.
ture OF Local Improvement
Through Rural Educati

In the new Year Book of the De-
partment of Agriculture, just issued,
is Il description by d. J. Crosby, of the
office of Experiment Stations. which
shows. in 4 number of instances what
splendid results are being attained
through the Introduction of common
sense agricultural studies in some of
the country village schools. and how
they directly affect and benefit their
home towns. There is what appears
TO be. an almost ideal PENNSYLVANIA
village high school. which the writer
visited. He describes what he saw:
In Erie County, Pa. surrounded by
good general farming and dairy
country, is the village of Waterford.
on the outskirts of which is the site of
Fort lie Boeuf. of French and India
war fame. At Waterford the first
school in Erie County was establish. |
in 1890, and here star back as 1922
was erected Il stone academy build
ing. which is used to-day as the main
part of the high-school building The
township of Waterford has popula-
ton of 1,460 and about one haI. re-
side in the borough of Waterf ID. II
borough has its own elementary
school. but the high school is support
ed and controlled Jointly by the bor-
ough and township.
This high school, with its three
teachers and three courses of study
Language. scientific. and aCriculturah.
has an enrolment of 50 pupils. and ~
of these are in the agricultural curse.
This course Includes agricult are, five
hours a week for four years. The
work of the first year is devoted to a
study of plant REORGANIZATION. plant
growth. plant food. reproduction. prop
agation. transplanting. pruning. and
use of plants: the second year to n
study of field, orchard. and garden
crops; the third year to domestic ami
mails. dairying. and soil physics. n
the fourth year to the chemistry of
soils and of plant and animal life.
Text books are used in the class
rooms: small library of agricultural
reference books, reports and bulletinj
of this Department and experiment
stations, and agricultural papers con-
tributed by the publishers Is in almost
constant use. and lectures on agricul-
tural subjects are given before the
class and before the whole school by
the instructor in agriculture, who is
an agricultural college graduate. But
the feature OF instruction which
chiefly distinguishes this agricultural
course from the ordinary high school
course Is the prominence given TO the
laboratory work and the outdoor prac-
ticum. For the laboratory work there
Is no elaborate apparatus. The pupils
make much of their own apparatus,
furnish their own reaCent bottles, and.
moreover use them. In the plant-life
course the pupils study not elaborate
and carefully prepared drawings, but

The "homecroft" idea. referred to by
George ii. Maxwell i'm his address be-
fore the Biennial Convention OF the
General Federation of women's Clubs.
Is closely allied to the ''home arts and
crafts" propaganda. in which so many.
in and out of the federation. are inter
ested. The homecrofter. owning his
home and little patch OF ground-.in
acre or two. more or less-is of all
persons the one most likely to he inter

manufacture. which, added to the pro-
duce of his ground. may afford a sun
port to his family. either constantly or
as substitute for wage-earnng en-
ployncnt when some great shop or
factory may be suspended. Aided,
perhaps. by little gas engine or cleo
tric motor. he may have n choice Of an
infinite variety of crafts. In which he
and his family may profitably engage.
Here Is a combination which seems to
offer relief from the demoralizing and
devitalizinc conditions of our present
factory system: also n mode OF multi

ployer. who are the backbone of

THE INDEPENDENT TOWN.
Make Each Rural Center Dependent
Upon Itself and Its Own Resources.

There has lately developed a strong
sentiment looking to the improvement
of the home town-makinE each
community. aS much Is possible,
dependent upon itself and its own
resources and those of its sur
rounding country. and lndepenu-
ent of the great centres winch are
constantly striving to secure portion
of the local wealth. This local self
sufficiency may be fostered by an in-
diyidual and cooperative determi-
nation to bring the town up to its
highest possible plane of comfort, gen
cral usefulness and beauty to its resi-
dents. This may be described as a
movement for civic improvement
The accumulation of considerable
wealth in many American villages and
towns. during the last ten or twenty
years. the development OF popular
education and the increase of leisure,
has given an opportunity for the per-
formance of public duties. such as
had not seemed to exist to the young
man or woman of the former Eener-
alton. who. in the effort to secure n
livelihood and establish home had
given little thought to the duties OF
citizenship and social responsibilities
III
few years that mature study has
entered into any of the public-school
work, or even manual training. while
there are many who yet think that
such institutions aS gymnasiuinS,
baths. Fairgrounds, and even vacation
schools and free lectures are unneces-
sary time consumers for the young.
Nevertheless the general movement
for n better education along rural lines
and for backyard and street improve
ment. and the general betterment OF
the village and town is rapidly in
creasinC.
As an instance of this. even in such
n large city rs st. Louis, girls and
boys are given practical instruction in
gardening. through the Junior School
of Horticulture OF the Missouri
Botanical Gardens. The children are
permitted to sell their own products
a decided stimulus to their c-orts
and In this way many of them earn
considerable pocket money for vacation
time. This school has been in oper-
ation for n number of years and is OF
great value to the citizens as well as
to the children of the city. the latter
Of whom would otherwise know practi-
oally nothing of nature as country
children know 1t.
Even in Texas the school garden
and town improvement idea has made
headway, although there has been
greater difficulty in. obtaining popular
approval and support, possibly. than in
any other section Of tbe country. owing
to the fact, perhaps, thar the Lone
Star State has vast areas of unoc
crpied land, and to the fact that the
influential majority has been hut a
short time removed from the cattle
