AGRICULTURAL EDUCATION
In Co-Ordinated Schools Advoc ated

IN Co-Ordlnated schools Advoc atet
by Or. A. Caswell Ellis.
Houston Chronicle.
DR.. A. Caswell Ellis of the depart
ment of pedagogy of the University
of Texas. las sent to The Chronicle
the Following article dealing with the
problem of agricultural education
from a scientific standpoint, DR.. FL
lis is equipped to discuss any form
of teaching and makes some valuable
suggestions.
DR.. Ellis will lecture in Houston at
the request of the literary people of
the city at an early date, before the
teachers institute.
In discussing the matter of agri.
cultural education, DR.. Ellis says:
There are so many propositions ad-
vanced now for increasing the amount
of agricultural education given in
the state that general survey of the
situation seems advisable. First, what
does the state offer already in the
way of agricultural education: second.
what further is needed to complete
the system?
In answer to the first question: we
see that the state requires the teach
ing of elementary agriculture in all
the rural schools, but has made no
provision whereby the rural, teachers
may first study and learn the agricu-
ture they are to teach. AS result.
the best they can do is to read some
little elementary text book on agri-
culture and try to keep ahead of their
pupils. Under such conditions the
teaching at best is very inadequate.
and In the main is a farce
AS for secondary, or high school,
agriculture, there are no institutions
in the state offering this to boys. The
College of Industrial Arts offers such |
a course to hundred or so girls.
In college and university grade of
agricultural education, we have for
boys our A. and NJ. College As there
are no preparatory schools in agricul-
ture in the state, the A. and NJ. has to
attempt to teach It's pupils element
airy agriculture, secondary agriculture
college agriculture and university agri.
culture, besides devoting the larger 1
part of its energy TO the mechanical |
and engineering branches. It is /
foregone conclusion that nc institution 7
en- teach elementary, high school, I
,ollese and university grades of agri- {
culture and teach all adequately. The
attention which il IS forced to give the a
and secondary phases of t.
he work must deprive the college and s
phases OF their proper v
hare of attention. $
We nave then, elementary asrisul. n

the sermon the ablest ever given In
