To TEACH COOKING
AND CORN GROWING

The teaching of agriculture and
domestic science is to be made an
important part of the public school
system in Caroline County, Md
and the School Board purposes to
keep the schools abreast of those in
other sections of the country. where
these subjects are being given close
attention as a part of the Federal
and State methods to prepare public
school children for the farm and
home. The Board has arranged a
corn-growing contest for boys and a
domestic-science contest for the girls
this year. A. A. Christian of Phila-
delphia, formerly ofGreensbOro, has
offered a prize ofS50 to the boy grow
ing the best acre of corn, and other
prizes ranging downward to s25 as
a fifth prize, are included III the
contest. The Board says that the
object of the contest is primarily to
interest the boys in modern methods
of agriculture and create a pride in
good farming.
A large number of prizes are
offered girls for plain work aprons,
shirtwaists and bread. The Board,
in announcing the contest, says its
object is to get the pupils more in
terested in the practical things of
life and to encourage a spirit of
friendly rivalry in the schools.
Much interest is being taken in
the contests by patrons of the schools.
At the annual meeting of the County
Teachers Association in the High
School at Denton in Nav, Prof. G.
H. SchOpmeyer, an agricultural
teacher in charge of the school at
Ridgely, where the initial effort to
introduce practical agriculture into
the public school system is being
made, will present to the association
"sOme phases of agriculture all
teachers can handle in Caroline
schools" and the teachers and school |
authorities will make this feature of
the program one Of the most con-
spicuous.
