THE GOLD LEAF
THURSDAY, JULY II, 1900


RALEIGH. n. C., July 6, 1906.
And interesting feature Of the Summer
School and of the recent meeting of the
County Superintendent at Raleigh has
been the visits OF these teachers to the
new agricultural building OF the \. L NJ.
college.
Hundreds OF people within the last two
weeks have been conducted through this
new building which is the finest agricul-
tural building in the South. Many OF
these teachers were unfamiliar with
agricultural education and were I'M
familiar with the extent OF the equip
ment and the nature Of the work done in
this building. The thoroughly practical
nature OF this work was apparent when
they saw the equipment there provided
for such practical things as the making
Of butter and cheese, the studying OF the
diseases of animals and their prevention,
the work in plant diseases which the
boys were doing; the methods Of testing
the amount Of fat in milk were illus
trated; the method Of steriliZing milk
and the process OF keeping it clean
through all Of its processes; soil labOra-
tories where soil is studied in order to de-
termine it's quality. and the best methods
OF handling it; the farm machinery room
in which all of the best farm machinery
il on exhibition and in which the boys
gained practice by taking even the most
complicated self binder apart and put
ting it together again in order that they
might become familiar with the working
Of its parts.
The wish was expressed by every
teacher who visited the building that his
or her county could be more largely rep
resented in the number OF students who
avail themselves of the unrivaled adj
vantages offered by this magnificent
building and its equipment, and barns,
farm. livestock and poultry equipment,
and instruction offered by a large and
competent faculty composed OF special
lists in all lines Of agricultural work.
There is much to be learned in agricul-
ture and this can be learned at the \. &
NJ. College with its present equipment.
At the completion of the agricultural
course manifold opportunities await the
Industrious, persevering boy, either on
his own farm, farming for himself, or if
he prefers in the form OF salaried posi-
tons supervising farms for others, or in
the teaching and investigating PROBES
siOns. The suppl y OF skilled agricultu
rists in no wise equals the demand.
The Mechanical Departmental showing
School, an interesting exhibit of students
work in wood and metal. The lathes,
gasoline engine, roller top desk, and We
netian iron work are up to date, and
have the look of commercial industry.
The shops are adding equipment in the
way Of Turret lathes, Grinders, Centering
Machines, etc, in order to meet the large
increase in the number Of students.
