A Two Year Course In Agriculture


The Iowa State College will offer
at the opening of the college year
in September, a two year course in
agriculture. This course will be
specially adapted to the needs OF
the farm boy who has not had
high school course and who wishes
to prepare for practical farm work.
The two year course will be dis
tinct from the college work proper,
and it will meet the needs of a large
number of young men who wish to
become successful farmers and who
are so situated that they are unable
to complete high school course
to meet the regular entrance re-
quirements. This course will ad
mirable supplement the farmers
short course work that has been
given at Ames and at various
points in the state in recent years.
1t promises to prove popular at
once and it is in line with the de-
mand for secondary agricultural
education in the public schools and
in special agricultural high schools
