AGRICULTURE TO
Be EMPHASIZED


The study of agriculture will be en-
phasiHed in the schools of Houghton
county in the future. according 10
School Commissioner William Bath.
The practical education is today be-
coming more important. the commits
sioner believes, and he is laying plans
10 make this branch of learning OF
greater benefit 10 the pupils OF the
schools,
questions oh agriculture viii be in
cluded in the school, the eNamina-
lions 10 be held next week in the
Houghton high school. the commits
sioner announces and will be part OF
the test in every future examination.
Tie examinations will for teachers
certificates and will be held on
Thursday and Friday Of next week.
Mr.. Bath is OF the opinion that in
the rural schools in particular the
courses in agriculture viii prove OF
lasting benefit The courses here will
be re-arranged To permit the intro
duction Of instruction in agriculture
and If necessary the course will re-
place another study.
Instruction in plant and animal life,
the growth and care Of plants and
animals and the general science Of
agriculture is an essential part of ev-
cry Child's education. Mr. Bath be-
lieves, even if that child docs not have
occasion TO use the knowledge So
gained, Should the lot of that pupil
he cast on n farm in later years, the
small theoretical and technical lnowl-
edge Of farming that it is SO instlled
in them may prove of inestimablc
knowledge. The school commissioner
has not completed plans for the
course he expects TO offer in the rural
schools the coming year but will prob
ably frame these with the aid OF
Fritz Blomquist, the new principal
Of the tOter Lake agricultural high
school.
