OKLAHOMA SYSTEM FARM EDUCATION
STUDENTS PROFIT BY INSTRUCTION

Davis bill in congress, on which no
final action has been taken. The
idea was to bring a practical agrl
cultural ami industrial training close
to the farms and the farmer boys
Of the state. Elementary instruction
in agriculture must be given in all
the public schools Cf the state, un-
der the provisions of the Oklahoma
constitution, and in the cities proyi-
sion is usually made for "A certain
amount of manual training in the
higher grades.
But the farmer boy does not get
the advantage Of that, except in
occasional instances, and these
schools were established for his es-
pccial benefit. Primarily they are in
tended to be link in the general
scheme of agricultural education be
tween the common schools ON one
hand and the Agricultural and Me
chanical college ON the other, but
just at the present time they have
what is possibly a still more i'm
portant function to serve in proyid
ing a general mental and industrial
training for the young man on the
farm whose educational opportuni-
ties have been 50 small that it
would be impossible for him to quail
ify for the regular course.
1t is for this class that the elect
i've courses OF special character
have been provided. These courses
will be carefully outlined in each

the school has accomplished its
purpose and has not wcaned its stu

charged against so many agricultu-
raj schools, while Miss Shearer will
teach domestic science in the schools
of the state.
These four graduates are the first
to finish the course in any of the
secondary agricultural schools. six
of which are now in operation The
regular course is three years, and
it was not expected that any of the
students would finish it in less than
that time, but the four who gradual
ed this year had already had a very
good high school training, so that
they were able to obtain credits
on a large part of their academic
work and devote most of their time
to the industrial work. thus finish
