VOCATIONAL TRAINING.
Agricultural and Manual Training
Courses in Maine Schools.

The movement for vocational train
ing. which was strongly advocated at
the recent meeting of the Maine
Teachers Association in this city,
and which has the unqualified endorse
ment of State superintendent of
Schools Payson Smith, has claimed
the attention of Maine people hut
very few years, yet already II High
schools, IL academies and two of the
colleges have some sort of instruction
along these lines. The Maine Wes-
leyan Seminary at Kent's Hill is one
of the secondary schools Offering
courses in agriculture. and several of
the students were in attendance at
the meeting, last week. of the State
Pathological Society distributing bull
letins giving an outline of the course
The State law, providing aid for
schools doing certain standards of
work and expanding certain sums of
money for instruction, did not go into
effect until September of this year,
yet many. of them have established
the new courses and many more are
preparing to do so. Especial attention
is being given to the movement for
better training in agriculture. The
suggestion has been made by Governor
Plaisted and others interested in the
work of the University of Maine that
no son of Maine should be charged
tuition in the agricultural school. At
the present time Maine students TAX
ing the agricultural courses pay $50
per year, instead of the $50, which IS
charged for students from Maine in
other departments. except the depart
ment of law, where the annual tuition
fee is $40.
Two town High schools have intro
duced agricultural courses, those AT
Skowhegan and Wells. and others are
preparing to do so soon. Among the
secondary schools receiving aid from
the State, on account of their agrlcui
tural courses, are Aroostook, Cehtral
Institute at Mars Hill, East Maliie
Conference Seminary at Bucksport'
Fryeburg Academy at FryeburS'
Leavitt Institute at Turner, Maihg
Wesleyan Seminary at kents mn anu
Parsonsfield Seminary at ParsonsIlelo.
Courses have also been established Tor
teachers at Pennington. Gorham, cas-,
tine, Presque Isle and Machias Normal
schools and at the MadaWaska ltaii-
ing schools at Fort Kent.
Thus students from Androscogein'
Aroostook, Cumberland. Franklin, Han

may desire to do so. are given an OPP
portunity to take up agricultural
courses without going far from nome.
Piscataquis, Penobscot. Waldo, Knox,
Sagadahoc and Lincoln are not in the
list except as Penobseot has the Uni
versity of Maine. They are all coun-
ties where the farming interests pre-
dominate and will doubtless establish
courses in some OF their schools dur
ing the next year, Manual training
has been taught longer in the second-
airy schools than agriculture or do

One of the best pieces of country

a somewhat unusual feature of this
work is that it was done at consid-
efahly less cost than was expected.
The Joint fund appropriated By the
state and the town of Skowhegan was
$115027 and it was estimated that this
would construct 200 feet of the pro-
posed road. It was found that when
the job had been completed that $3.50
feet had been built within the amount
of tie joint appropriation.
