HIGH SCHOOL OF FARMING.
Model Institution Where Practical In
struction Is Given.

Model Institution Where Practical In
struction Is Given.
The president of the National Educa-
tional association declared in 1905 that
the rural high schools ought to cease
initiating the urban secondary schools
and develop a curriculum of their own
one suited to the needs of a farming
neighborhood. Through the encourage
ment of an act passed to stimulate the
growth Of high schools in the country
districts of Massachusetts the town
ship of Petersham, Mass, has an ag-
ricultural high school Of precisely this
order.
Along with courses in history, Ian
guage and mathematics are taught,
among other things, the wild flowers,
birds and animals and their habits;
the rocks, including their chemical COM
position and how they are made over
into soil; the kinds of soil, the crops
best suited to each and the best meth
DDS of cultivating; how to raise the
best hop crop and the right sort of
culture to be given all the common
standard crops; how to raise small
fruits and prepare them for market;
how to conduct market garden bust
ness, including the care of glass
houses; injurious insects and harmful
fungi; the principles Of forestry and
landscape gardening-how to lay out a
home; the care of domestic animals,
poultry and bees; how to manage
dairy; the use of common tools; the
practical management of modern farm.
ing and dairy machinery.
The school has a $4,000 building and
ten acres of ground. The curriculum
is being closely watched by the neigh
boring townships, and several similar
schools are being planned. If it goes
through Massachusetts with the rapid
ity of most good things we shall
speedily have a new chapter in the
story of the New England abandoned
farm.
