Boys Like School Idea.
cor,tort A TYLER. president of the
Hampshire Down Breeders associa-
ton of America, says:
Having lectured in every hlgh
school OF the state within the last
few months, have found the oppor-
tunity to learn of the real interest
taken In the Boys State Fair school
and in the model farms, which are 10
he a feature OF the Michigan state
Fair, this year. In every high schooi
which has an agricultural course IN
its curriculum, have taken occasion |
to mention these innovations, and
have been astonished at the way IN |
which the school and farms have been !
taken up. The outcome has been so |
astonishing that | believe the Michi- |
gan State Fair has hit upon an edu-
cational step In the right direction. |
The present day problem is TO feed |
the next generation. We must solve !
this problem now and can best do so /
by creating an interest in agricul- |
ture, by educating the boys in agri- |
culture, and | know OF no better way |
than that Of the Boys State Fair
school and the Model Farms. We
must interest more boys constantly in
agricultural science, in better meth F..
DDS and we must help the boys TO
that knowledge which they will gain
through participation in this worthy
