MISSOURI STATE NEWS
FARMING Taught In 43o Schools.

Agriculture is taught now in 213
rural schools in 40 counties, and in
2O7 high schools in Missouri. This is
the direct result of instruction in agri-
culture at the summer sessions at the
University of Missouri. Six years ago
when the first summer courses were
offered at the university for teachers
no instruction vas given in any OF
the public schools in the state. Now
the pupils of i20 schools may learn
something about scientific methods
in farming, and in many instances the
courses are quite complete. The
University of Missouri was the first
university in this country to teach
agriculture in the summer when the
rural school and the high school
teachers would have an opportunity
to attend. The first course was tried
as an experiment in 1905, when DR..
j.. c. Written formed a class for
teachers and taught without compen-
sation.
