STATE PLANS FARM
WORK IN SCHOOLS
Dept. of Public instruction In
vites Education Boards to
Consider 1t.

TRENTON, Feb, 1.-THE State de-
partment of public instruction in. an
bulletin today extends an invitation
to meet with any local board of edu-
cation or board of freeholders for a
conference looking toward the estab-
Hlishment of agricultural courses in the,
schools.
Pamphlets Describe Course
The bulletin gives specific directors
and plans for the introduction of the
study in the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades, and suggests subjects fog
study work. 1t is supplemented by
special pamphlets giving specific
directions in any particular project.
such as Corn Growing" vegetable
Gardening" white Potato Growing"
Sweet Potato Growing" Poultry
Raising and Trees and Forests"
The department is ready to work out
a plan for any subject schools may
be interested in. The study may also
be introduced in the high schools.
Vocational Schools Included.
The department makes several sug-
gestions for those vocational schools
which may decide to take I'D the
study: Some of these are: A voca-
tional agricultural department, EN-
ploylnB teacher all the year around
to supervise the work, both in schools
and on the farm winter term for
those who cannot attend the regular
high school course; definite expert
supervision carried on at the home
farm during the summer months and
short unit courses, providing definite
instruction in any Of the topics of
value to a farmer in a certain COM
munity. The department calls special
attention to the fact that it Is not
necessary to have an experimental
farm and equipment of buildings and
tools as the laboratory may be util-
lied for the purpose and practical ex-
perience gained there by the pupils.
Makes Boys Self Supporting.
The department figures that the adj
vantages derived from the establish
ment of such schools will be to pro-
vide definite school work for those
who cannot attend the regular high
school course; to interest the boys
in financial projects and make themN
partially self-supporting; to provide
opportunities for boys to secure prac-
tise in the art of farming; to give
scientific instruction and thereby in
crease earning capacity and to pro-
vide expert assistance for farmers or
all ages. The bulletin also suggests
that the counties appoint boards OF
education who are to appoint man
to supervise home farm project work.

Holiday Rush Delays
indignation Meeting to
Be Held by the Farmers

The indignation meeting of the
farmers who are protesting against
the delay of the market coImittee in
providing suitable quarters for them
was not held last night, as was first
scheduled. Owing to the extra rush
caused by the holiday the session
will probably be held at Adelphi Hall
Friday night. The farmers during
the past week have been working
steadily on the proposition and de-
clare that they will take the matter
into their own hands.
Just what action will be taken at
the next meeting cannot be foretold,
as many of the farmers did not at
tend the market this morning owing
to the holiday tomorrow.
