cies more fully to inform and interest
the residents of the counties in the

Their proposed to furnish free transpr-
tation and suitable camping quarters,
and to give meals to these boys while
they are in attendance at this school.
1t would, therefore, be necessary tot
raise in the counties only sufficient

ion of the Georgia State College of
Agriculture and the United States De-
partment of Agriculture cooperating

keeping a record of attendance, study
and deportment, and for arranging
the hours and classes for the various
instructors. Every boy who attends
the school is under the immediate
authority and control of this principal.
The forenoon of each day will be
given over to observation, study and
class work. The evenings to attend
ance upon illustrated lectures and to
writing up of notes. Certain portions
OF each afternoon will be free for
general visitation and observation OF
the various exhibits on the South
eastern fair grounds,
The classes will be formed into
roups for the observation and study
of the various classes of live stock,
farm production, machinery and other
displays on exhibition.
Each boy win be required to keep
a record OF each days observation
and instruction. Each member of the
school will be expected to prepare
from the weeks work a suitable re-
port to give to his county and to fur
nish a copy of same fer publication

citation that the boys be put under
strict military discipline and provis-
ions are now being made for this
This school was inagurated in 1916
and more than 200 boys attended the
