BACK TO THE FARM

1t may be interesting to know that
twelve years ago when Secretary Will
son came to the United States depart
ment of agriculture there were but ten
agricultural high schools in the coun-
try, and the teaching of agriculture in
normal schools or in public elementary
schools had merely begun. Today there
are sixty agricultural high schools, or
definitely secondary agricultural courses
in colleges, 346 public high schools
teaching agriculture and ll9 state or
county normal schools and sixteen agri-
culture colleges training young men
and women to teach agriculture. In
addition to these there are a number
of private institutions giving secondary
instructions in agriculture and sixteen
institutions offering correspondence
courses or reading courses which are
practically of secondary grade, making
in all about 500 institutions giving Sec
ondary instruction in agriculture.

courses the saving effect of the wild
birds upon agriculture in every section
will be presented to the workers on
the six million farms of the country.
Eacn phase of the science of economic
ornithology will be studied at this
unique seat of learning and presented
to the people whose material gain is
today seriously hampered by lack of
light on the subject.
Reports from every state and coun-
ty in the land have convinced the
officers of the National Association of
Audubon societies that all the Amer
lean people are now ready and eager
to learn to guard against the money
loss that surely follows the destruction
of the country's feathered resources.
Only the wide presentation of the
facts and figures of economic bird
value can ever check the alarming
