GOVERNMENT OF THE SCHOOLS

At the meeting of the board of
trustees of the University of Geor-
g1a held a few days ago at Athens,
Governor Terrell offered a resolu-
ton prescribing the general plan
under which the agricultural
schools of each congressional dis
trict shall be conducted, the act
creating these schools providing
that the general board of trustees
Of the university shall exercise
such supervision of such schools
as In their judgement may be
necessary to secure unity of plan
and efficiency. This resolution was
unanimously adopted by the gen
eral board of trustees and approx
ed by the board of trustees of the
agricultural college.
The text of the resolutionsado
ed is as follows:
whereas, the act providing for
the establishment and maintenance
OF an industrial and agricultural
school in each congressional dis
trict declares in section / that 'the
general board of trustees of the
university shall exercise such
supervision as in their judgement
may be necessary to secure unity OF
plan and efficiency in schools
"And whereas, section of said
act prescribes that the course OF
study in said schools shall be CON
fined to the elementary branches
ofan English education, and practi-
cal treatises and lectures on agri-
culture in all its branches, and the
mechanic arts and such other
studies as will enablestudents com
plet1ngthe course to enter the fresh
man class of the state college OF
agriculture on certificate of the
principal
"And whereas, the paramount
object of these schools being the
education of the pupils, both
theoretically and practically, in
the science of agriculture and the
mechanic arts, and preparing them
for citizenship, a curriculum should
be prescribed that will include on
ly those studies which are In their
nature and tendency contributory
to that end.
Therefore, be it resolved, First,
That the minimum age for entrance
into said schools be fixed at IA
years for males, and Ii years for
females, and that there be an equit-
able division of the dormitory
space among the counties of the
district as provided in section of
act, and should all the space allot-
ted a county be not applied for at
the beginning of a scholastic year
such unused space may be allotted
for such year to any other county.
F'2. That the course of study be
limited to four years work, includ-
ing at least one year of common
school or elementary studies, and
that the scholastic year be forty
weeks.
The school day to be so arranged
as to assure at least three hours
day of class room work in agricul-
ture and related sciences, English,
mathematics and history, and also
three hours day on the farm or in
the laboratory or shop, the hours
In actual farm work to be regulated
by the exigencies of the farm, the
program being such as to provide
for alienation of work and study
among the classes morning and
afternoon, thereby securing con-
tinuous operation of the farm and
shop.
The female students to be pro
Vlded with practical and compre-
hensive course in domestic science,
sewing, household economics and
kindred studies.
