the battle army against the walls OF

FARM SCHOOLS ARE

ESTABLISHED IN 6 COUNTIES
Offer Necessary Trsining for Those
Who Elect to Follow Agricultural
Pursuits-Wisconsln Has Done Pio-
neer Work in Movement.

Madison.-Prof. A. A. johnson.
prip cipal of the new Milwaukee coun-
ty school of agriculture, and former
principal of the La Crosse county
school of agriculture and domestic
economy, has written a government
bulletin on "Coumy Schools of Agri-
culture and Domestic Economy In
Wisconsin" which Ice Just been is
sued by the United States depart
ment of agriculture 1t contains IL
lustrated accounts of the work done
at the following schools: Wausau,
Marathon county; Menomonie, Dunn
county; Winneconne, Winnebago
county, and onalaska, La Crosse
county.
Wisconsin was the first state in
the Union to organize county school
of agriculture and domestic econ
omy," writes Prof Johnson. THE
early history of secondary agricuI-
tural education in this state dates
back to the winter of 1899, when the
state legislature appointed DIR. l.. d.
Henry, then state superintendent of
public instruction. a commissioner,
to investigate and report upon the
methods of procedure in this and
other states and counties, in manual
training and in the theories and arts
of agriculture in the public schools
The Legislature of 1901 passed
law embodying the recommends
tons of DR.. Harvey and permitting
the establishment of two schools.
Secondary agricultural education
IN Wisconsin is largely adapted to
the conditions found in the counties
where such schools are located. Spe-
cial efforts are made to furnish ad-
ditional opportunities for schooling
to the "a out of every 100 rural and
urban school children who would
otherwise finish their education with
the common schools. These county
schools are, strictly speaking, agri-
cultural trade schools ard have for
their sole object the educating of the
farmers boys and girls who do not
wish TO take up an extensive college
course, but who are anxious to get
that form of training which will be
most useful to them when they take
charge of the home farm or the farm
home. The school is made the edu-
cational center of the community,
and the farmers are free to call upon
II for assistance in any line of work
pertaining TO farming and home max
ing"
The cost of maintaining the Wis
consin schools is given as follows for
1909-1910: Marathon, S5,93395;
Dunn, $10,425.75; Winnebago, ST.
