AGRICULTURE NOW
PART OF COURSES
Prof. French Tells How Move
ment Has Spread Through
Public Schools of State

EAST LANSING. Mich. June L.
Especial How the entire range OF
public education, from the rural
schools 10 the state university, has
been adjusted to meet the growing
needs OF agricultural instruction, was
told today by Prof. w. III. French, OF
the Michigan Agricultural college, in
an interview dictated for the Detroit
Times. Six years ago. Prof French
declared. not a single high school in
Michigan had any provision for the
teaching OF the elements OF agricul-
ture. Now, high school instruction
in agriculture is reaching 1000 young
men, and through them more than
1000 farms.
When the school year opens next
September, about 40 high schools OF
the state OF Michigan will be Offering
regular courses in agriculture, taught
by specially trained teachers" said
Prof. French This number includes
the new schools introducing the work
for the first time Progress in this
work has been very encouraging con
sidering the fact that il has been ac-
bonus OF any kind, solely through the
interest OF the school superintendent,
farmers, and others interested in the
extension of agricultural work.
THE Introduction of agriculture as
a subject OF study into high school
courses was begun in the fall of 1908,
with one high school experimenting
as to the development OF the course
OF study, its scope, arrangement as
related TO other high school work and
probably aims for future development
The result OF the experiment was
very satisfactory, and the develop
ment of agriculture in the public high
schools has become part OF the ex
tension service OF the agriculture col
lege.
In the fall OF 1909 seven additional
schools. introduced the agricultural
courses. The number has gradually
increased each year until during the
school year OF 1913 and 1914 we have
81 schools either giving the full four.
year course or developing toward that
standard. and all these courses are
taught by graduates of an agricul.
tural college.
Very early in the movement the
Michigan Agricultural college changed
It's entrance requirements to include
the subject OF agriculture among the
approved units. Three years later the
University OF Michigan adjusted its
entrance requirements TO recognize
certain phases OF industrial education.
and among others granting two units
OF entrance credit for high school
agriculture.
"As a part of this new educational
extension the elements OF agriculture
are now taught in practically every
rural school, and one of the large
elements OF rural agricultural instruc-
ton is the organization OF the boys
and girls clubs. AT the present time
there are approximately 100 clubs we'll
organized and working out home pro-
jects for the coming summer and
fall. High school instruction is reach.
ing directly about l,200 young men.
and through them more than 1000
farms. The boys aad girls club work
