LINKING THE SCHOOL WITH THE

In Farm and Preside a writer tells
Of the interesting achievement OF the
high school at Hamburg, New York,
in placing real agricultural work
within the reach OF boys aud girls.
As a result Of this, seven out OF ev-
cry ten male students that are grad
Iuated from the Hamburg High School
take up farming as a living.
Hamburg" we read, "is in the
center OF a very rich agricultural
district on which Bufralo's half-mil-
lion persons depend 10 a big extent
for their farm produce. Last June
graduates from all departments OF
the school numbered seventeen, and
all boys Of the class but one intend
10 take up farming for living.
THE good effect OF the course on
students is reflected in the increas-
ed attendance at school for the full
term from September 20 June. Since
the course was started not one pupil
studying agriculture has lost even
halliday for reasons other than ILL
ness"
