high schools meet the demand for in.
dustrial training, that special schools
will be created and will then infringe
upon the field of public education
High schools came into existence at
the demand of the people for broad
er universal education. and the de-
mand for broader education is still in
sistent We have about 600 high
schools in Michigan, and these are so
located that If courses of agriculture
were presented in all of them we
should practically be able to give such
instruction to all the young men and
women of the entire state without any
great increase in public expenditure
and without any increase in the Or
ganization Of school machinery.
Very little of agriculture can be
taught in the rural schools as present
organized. Some work is being done
in nature study, gardening, seed test
ing, the care and uses of animals and
in the recognition of the laws Of
growth of crops and animals, but the
real field for the teaching of element
airy agriculture is in the public high
schools.
In Michigan we have eleven high
schools in which agriculture Is taught.
The course of study is as follows: In
the ninth grade. agricultural botany:
in the tenth grade, crops and horti-
culture; in the eleventh grade, live
stock, dairying and soils; in the
twelfth grade. livestock Improvement
and feeding, farm management and
farm mechanics. We have about 500
young men in the four grades taking
the work in agriculture this year. The
effect upon the high school Is excellent
in the way of attracting the students
and arousing interest. This / attribute
! to the opportunity for practical appli-
cation.
| We have the means of prepar-
| ing special teachers for this work, so
that there is nothing to prevent its
rapid advancement except the conserv-
atism of the people. 1t is too early
mate result will be, but we are sure
that we have made good start.
| AS stated before, the primary pur.
pose of the introduction of industrial
courses is to give new point of view
to the growing boys and girls and
create new attitude, especially to
the subject of agriculture. Again. we
shall include some opportunity for a
wise choice on the part of the student
when he begins to consider his life's
work.
Lastly, the teaching of agriculture in
the public schools will give to the
young man an idea OF farm life, of the
farm, its appurtenances and it's profits.
He will leave the school with interest
and enthusiasm in the business which
he is about to undertake, and this will
go a long way toward his ultimate sue.
cess. II the young mans attitude TO
agriculture is one of interest and en-
thusiasm he will make no mistake in
choosing agriculture for life work,
and, while the immediate effect of
teaching agriculture will be to change
the attitude Of our people, the ultimate
and desired effect will be to increase
the product of the farm and to en-.
nance it's value because of it's su.
periority. This Is the real purpose of
public education.

BY Professor W. H. French of M. A. C.

VAY + are now in a new transition
w stage in the matter of public
education. | believe it is for.
tunate that we have had continual ex-
perimentation in public school work
because times are continually chang
ing. The interest and attention of the
public changes from time to time, and
II is necessary that the work of the
schools shall keep pace with material
progress in order that the school shall
reach its highest state of efficiency
In opening this discussion [ would
ask the question, What is a school 90
I would answer that a school is a
place for development. That is, a
public school is an institution created
by the state where chances Of physi-
cad, mental and moral development are
afforded for all children who come
within reach of its influence.
The teachers work Is to present OBJ
jects of knowledge in such way as
to stimulate to activity the faculties
OF the child or student. Objects Of
knowledge include all those things,

HIGH SCHOOL BOTANY GLASS
physical, mental and moral, which will
develop and make useful the whole
human being.
There are people who insist that the
school shall teach practical things, but
these same people are very vague in
defining what is practical. Everyone
will admit that the three RS are
practical because useful, and upon this
basis we can include in the list Of the
practical everything which touches
human life. In other words, public
education means preparation for the
activities of human life.
With this definition in mind we are
to determine whether agriculture can
be included in such a list. Agricul-
ture is admitted to be a science and
an art. and | would also assert that
agriculture is business and pro.
fession. Agriculture becomes a bust
ness and a profession when the indi-
vidual who proposes to engage in the
art of agriculture has been trained
sible success.
The agricultural colleges have DEM
onstrated that agriculture can be
taught, and this leads us to the ques-
ton, Does it need to be taught p"
and another question, How can we
secure proper results from agri.
culture without training?" If agri-
culture is an art, a business and a
profession. then the one who proposes
to engage in 1t should be as well
trained as the individual who pro-
poses to engage in any other profess
sion or business. This, it seems to
me, is an automatic statement and
does not really require proof. We
have demonstrated that agriculture
can be taught in the college, and we
have also demonstrated that agricul-
ture can be taught in secondary or
ment that the necessity Of teaching
agriculture will be really shown by
the general introduction OF the sub.
ject into the work of the public
schools. The person who is ignorant
in regard to the process of his pro-
fession or business will be satisfied
with much less in the way Of success
or attainment than the one who has
been expertly trained and who has
made some fundamental discoveries In
connection with such profession OF
business.
The purpose Of teaching agriculture
In the public schools is not so much
to teach the facts and the science Of
agriculture as to create new attitude
TO it and open the eyes of the youna
men to it's possibilities.
At the present time there is large
demand that public schools shall In
clude in their courses of study oppor
tunity for vocational training. The
colleges and universities have done
their part along this line, and 1t re
mains to be seen not only that TIL,
public school will do it's work bu
also to prepare fields of instruction
along vocational lines. Probably M
one is wise enough today to say spe
officially how much of mechanics OF
science or agriculture should b,
taught in the public schools. Expert
mentation along these lines is abso
lutely necessary, and experimentation

will produce in the end the proper re-
suit.
We are teaching botany, physics
and chemistry in the public schools.
These are sciences directly related to
agriculture, and the student in the
high school should be given an oppor-
tunity ITO apply his scientific knowl'
edge and training to some practical
line. There is a field for practical
application along the line Of mechan'
les, but there is a much larger field
for application in agriculture.
We begin to realize that the schools
cannot attract and hold young peo-
pie unless the course of study is SO
shaped that there is connection be-
tween school life and the work of the
world.
If we had time right at this point
we might discuss the advisability of
the creation of special secondary
schools for industrial training and spe-
cial scondard schools of agriculture.
The time is too limited, and 1t is prob
ably sufficient to say that unless the
