AGRICULTURE IN SCHOOLS.

y w. ~ Isl
| Prof Stewards brief but pointed
explanation TO the inquiry of the
Massachusetts Agricultural College in
| reference to the manner in which
| our own State Normal prepares It's
teachers to give instruction in eiemen-
tary science. agriculture. and nature
| study as an important contribution
to what has been and still is a Very
hive issue before the legislative as
sembly of Utah.
l. Prof. Stewards letter appeared
in Fridays News The gist of his
thought is contained in the an
swer given to question number two,
in relation to the place In the school
curriculum which agricultural in
struction should occupy,
1t is as follows,
9 We regard the subject of agri-i
culture entitled to a place in the high
school curriculum as an independent
science; but in the elementary schools
we think it should be a supplemental
part of the science work taught now
given.
Upon this proposition, there will
probably be comparatively little diff
ference of opinion, and that little
will consist mainly as to the relative
amounts of agricultural study or
practice that should be allotted re-
spectively to the common and the
high schools; for that this subject
should be in some way provided for
in the public school system is at pre-
sent very generally admitted.
AS to the method Of approach,
Prof. Stewart explains that in the
State Normal the subject of Agricul-
ture is reached through nature study
in which by cooperation With the
Agricultural College, 1t is possible to
give especial emphasis to this work
as part of the prescribed Normal
work in nature study and In methods
of science teaching.
The Professor opposes the PROPOSE
ton recently advanced to have q
parallel set of Industrial and agri-
cultural high schools established
alongside of the present system of
public schools. He argues that the
agricultural student needs the cultur-.
al influence of regular high school
training quite as much as the present
high schools need the practical phases
OF agriculture and other subjects; that
the socializing Influences of commun-8
ity life in the high schools would
be. minimized and in part lost II agri-s
cultural students should be in any way
separated from the other students Of
high school grade and that such
separation would undoubtedly result
in a duplication work leading to
q contest between the two systems
of high schools for appropriations.
1t is precisely here that opinions
differ most. Some maintain that the
industrial system of education should
not be part OF, but should be parallel
with the present system of public
schools. AS to which would really
be the best course to pursue, we IN must l.s.g
await a fun prese ntation of the facts acts;
ana conditions that confront US in this Is
important movement. i
