teachers. This situation led to the es-
adjustment of agricultural expert
ment stations and a system of extern
sion teaching through farmers fnsu-
tutes press articles and farm demon
STATIONS. Thus agricultural instruc-
ton has already made two distinct
and important departures from edu-
catfonal traditions-one in the organ
lied system of research through which
a body of knowledge pertaining to the
subject was created, and the other
in an organized system of extension or
continuation teaching through which
parents as well as teachers were reach
ed through this new-found knowl-
edge.
Interest in agriculture is univer-
sal. City children need instruction in
agriculture as well as country chill
dren. In the United States 81 per cent
of the raw materials used in manufac-
ture are taken from the farm. The
children of the working man, banker
or merchant must know that proper
agricultural development offers them
and their parents real opportunities
for employment. With properly train
ed teachers in a well organized sys-
TEN of education. there IL no reason
why agriculture may not become the
most interesting, the most inspiring.
and the most successfully taught sub
fect in the schools"
